Hey Benji, I went for a MRI scan on my liver this week! They told me it could take a while, so to relax and listen to the music on headphones;;; guess what Rose Royce but what tune ? Had to laugh , you've a banded me. True story. Rod

Kev, I think you are older than you let on, Sugar and the Spices....have faith in me =. A top tune Steve, Al William- I who am nothing = $$$$$ $O GOOD Rod

Car Wash Hey Benji, do think the car was trying to tell you something. What was that horror film called about the car that turned the radio on.Rod

What a great tune, love it. Rod

In your car the CD players on and your faverette Northern/Modern Soul playing, you hear a track you love play and press the repeat button. Bit of fun, Name that tune. One for me- Jr walkers- what does it take. Rod Clegg

Good try little Stevie, Sound like you missed the chance to input on a thread from last night. So many do's nowadays, but not to many dance halls left. So here we go again. Rod Clegg

HI DARREN MOORE, Welcome to the Strange World Of Northern Soul. Loads on in the NW, Pick a date then check out the events here on Soul source. I'm sure you will bump into someone you know. Good look Gizmo. Rod Clegg

Hi Derek, the owner gave your name by the looks of it to the promoter, they do this some times as to keep the promoter on side as to think ( Your a two a penny thing ) As you know we ran the mill for six years, and in that time we where told all in sunderee wanted to move in on us. Normally after you have asked for a drinks promotion/ or room discount. The promoter will have put two and two together, checked you out ' and found you had run a successful event at Bury Masonic. He flapped by the looks of it ( not making excuses for him ) I'm sorry it gets to this stage mate, see you and Sheila at Wellingborough. Rod Clegg

OO SOUL & BACKSREET FOR ME. BRILllllllllllllllll:::::int Rod Clegg

I'll be there, just sorting drinks package out while we Speke. Got to get my priority right! Blackpool this weekend then Norway the week after"It's a dear do this Northern Soul Lark? My lads DJing so well worth it. See you there Rod Clegg

No that's a jammy bastard

Hi Matt, you out fishing! I mean two for the price of one, Asda price, £10 or less, two a penny, played out to the paying punters. Sorry but true. Rod

Hey! we look at the younger guys possible playing boots and pressings. But what about adults playing double headers as the norm. You would think they would no better, home is the place for them. Should have a sign on them;; not to be played in public. Sorry but that's my take on it.Rod

Play the music through an Tanoy System in the nursing home your in! You'll have a captive crowd. Rod

Please can some help turn photos Really got down to the real nitty gritty, bet it was a great fun in studio. Rod

I suppose this THREAD could run and run, we all had to start somewhere. but I do know at the age of 15+ in the early 70s; A lot of the records I purchased from Mail order lists /Venues/etc. turned out to be boots and pressings, and it didn't seem to important at that time, after resuming my love for the music years later (Army/ Wife/ Kids/ House/Car) it took me a long time to understand the importance to replace those records for the real deal! but that's what you do, improve as you go on. It can be expensive we all know to buy the in-demand tunes, but there's some great records out there for a lot less money. With the Internet to buy and being able to listen to so many sounds on youtube. it's a great time for the young up in coming DJ's to put there own Input on the scene.Just do it. Rod

GIRL ACROSS THE STREET--MOSES SMITH. Easy one to be fooled by.ROD

Last record we played at the last Soulchoons at the Mill. IT'S ALL OVER-CHARLES MANN. But then played another 45 mins as we couldn't clear the dance floor, two at the end where HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS-BOBBY WOMACK +WHERE DO WE GO WHEN THE PARTY'S OVER- ARCHIE BELL& THE DRELLS. ROD

A few years ago a mate of mine gave me some Northern Records he had bought back In the 70s. after going through them! I found most were either Pressing/ boots, but one that had me checking the Manships Guide was Eddie Parker's- Love You Baby on Ashfofd with a large ARCHER Stamp I was made up to find it was original. One of the other 45s was a Deep red / poor quality sounding boot of Duke Browner-- Crying over you- on Impact. A Duke Browner boot went on Ebay last week and was at £100+ The last time I looked? Sold as a second press. It's a bloody mine field out there and some people are just not bothered. Rod

Saw Brenda Holloway at Cala Gran, superb performance, down to earth, and what a babe, I could'nt believe she was making records in the 60s.Rod

I got an nice copy of Gospel Classics- More love,that's what we need on a British Black Chess.for 50p.great tune and a great bargain. Rod

Hey no ones mentioned Moody Women- Jerry Butler, I think I heard that the was a 40 piece Orchestra backing the track? That must have been something special to see if true. Rod

Hi Kev, I think it went under a table leg to steady it? Know I think I binned it mate, hope your keeping well. Rod

A few years ago I came across a copy of Sam Cooke's you send me on Black / Silver London on a 78 rpm. about 10 inch in size and a heavy duty Shellat. It got me thinking ! is there any big pre 1960s soul records on 78 rpm, and is the a market out there. I don't have the record now as it had a crack in it. Rod Clegg.

My choice would be the B side to CLOUD NINE -TEMPTATIONS/. WHY DID SHE HAVE TO LEAVE ME, BRILLIANT, CHEAP, and not so sure that many people know it. JUST PLAY AND FALL IN LOVE. ROD
