Got an original black abc issue,condition is Ex bordering on M-.

I didn't say YOU were taking the piss, I was referencing to your rock mates taking the piss,you told me about it. Also,i know you never mentioned Helen Shapiro,but others have on this topic. It's not personal you know,i was merely answering your points and I always respect everyone's opinion. You asked for a correlation to the "Northern" conundrum,i gave you an answer,you won't accept it and that is fine with me. On the other hand don't tell me i am wrong and you are right, because your not.I have given you a plausible rationale,many dancers who are soulies dance to the records, some will some won't,fine,it is the way of the Northern Soul world.

In the beginning when Northern Soul was born who said that any track played to the floor was "Northern",it was played, they liked it and became Northern Soul as we know it.The particular Petula Clark tracks played come into that category, they sound and feel like "Northern",the floor like them to dance to,so why not?, that is how it all started in the beginning. There are many accepted Northern tunes that could be questioned on that front, none of it is shit,it is just different,that's all,we all can't like everything played can we. Using the word shit when reviewing Petula Clark and Helen Shapiro is not on,these ladies were and still are British Icons and Legends. People take the piss anyway,it is the lowest form of wit and i just ignore them,most that do take the piss would not know a good Northern Soul record or Artist if they fell over them. It is not just me that plays them out to the floor,there are other DJ's that play them too and above all,the dancers on the floor know what they are dancing to,they don't just accept it. Anyway the Petula Clark or Helen Shapiro tracks that I play are all original demos and they are part of a carefully chosen set of what you consider Northern Soul,all are original and alot are demos. I take the DJ ing very seriously and spend alot of money on quality Northern Soul/Soul original records. Don't take my word for it,ask people who know me,i dance at many venue's on the Northern scene and like to keep my finger on the pulse,i ask the dancers what they like and they ask me for certain requests,i always try to please, if I don't have the record,i will try to get one for them in the future. Play to the floor,keep the dancers happy, it will empty fast if they don't like it.

Leicester boy has got it right,completely, the floor and the dancers know their stuff,they want to dance. There is nothing wrong in playing Petula Clark,the three tracks in question are not pop crap at all,it is excellent music. Opinions are just that !!!!!.....,who is anyone to say it is not Northern in a different form,there are many sides to Northern Soul,some on here criticise Helen Shapiro,she has big Northern tunes that the floor love to dance to. Of course my post is an opinion too, but it won't stop me playing Petula Clark, everytime i have played each of the three tunes mentioned the floor has been full and many proper soulies dancing.

Hi Folks, Persianettes - Call On Me Original Strata label only Please PM with price and condition if you have one for sale. Thanks,Ron. (NOW SORTED!!!!!......)

Leave well alone,it is permanent !!!!!....... You have a mint record to play,keep it that way,if you use chemicals or solvents,it may damage or even melt the record possibly including the playing surface,then it would be scrap. I have one or two similar to you,it adds to the character of the record, part of it's history and above all, original rare vinyl.

Hi Lee, I am looking for one wristband only,can you PM me with your details please mate. Thanks,Ron.
