Images From A Misspent Youth
Eleven bob to get into an All Dayer, seventeen bob for an imported 7" single. The £50 prize for best dancer at the Torch was an absolute fortune back then. Great memorabilia.

Call out for dancers / original Northern Soul fans
Just curious, but is it regional BBC News wanting to do a local interest item for their evening out and about slot, or is it part of a BBC documentary intended for national release?

Most of the Japanese Atlantic Soul Re-issues can be had for £4.99 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_pg_2?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ajapanese+atlantic+soul+%26+r%26b+range&page=2&keywords=japanese+atlantic+soul+%26+r%26b+range&ie=UTF8&qid=1433488131 Slightly less if you use some of the Marketplace sellers. Bought Johnny Taylor and Don Covay the other week. Quality is fine.

Promoters And Djs Be Aware Of Liam Taylor
Seems to me like Mr Taylor moves around a bit, Cornwall, Bristol, Cheshire, N. Yorkshire. I assume he's not a member on here otherwise he'd have realised that once someone has posted about his misdemeanours, the whole scene quickly becomes aware. Let's hope the boys in blue catch up with him before he moves onto another music scene.

Happy Playing Mp3's And Cd's Nottingham
Had the misfortune to attend a Soul Night last year that had been organised by someone who will remain nameless. Great venue, and a couple of good local DJs had been roped in by DJ Nameless. After getting a drink at the bar, the alarm bells went off as soon as I walked into the main hall, and was greeted by a large projector screen above the stage. Nameless had been busy with Microsoft Powerpoint, and had produced his own little "Northern Soul Montage" slideshow. Two laptops were set up beside the decks, and Nameless was having it large up on the stage, while his "playlist" of MP3s entertained a mixed crowd of Disco Divas, piss heads and curious locals. Unfortunately I had a full pint, otherwise I would have been out of there a lot sooner. Just to capture this wonderful evening, two old blokes with professional video cameras were strolling around the piles of handbags amassed on the dance floor. They'd probably worked with DJ Nameless on the local party circuit. This, more than anything, illustrates the danger of allowing MP3s and CDs to be played on the scene. It opens the doors to any chancer who fancies himself as a Northern Soul DJ. They should be called Hard Disk Jockeys, in order to differentiate between those who have put the time, effort and money into collecting the vinyl, and those just trying to cash in on the recent growing interest in the scene.

(Podcast) Northern Soul Coast To Coast (Blackpool To Cleethorpes)
Enjoyed listening to that one Pete. Couldn't remember hearing "Putting on the Ritz" played anywhere until I realised it had just automatically gone on to the next Mixcloud podcast.

This has further been enforced by the Hearing Records (HR) Act of 1998.

Something For The Weekend
On this morning's show, Simon Rimmer just quoted "Turning My Heartbeat Up" as a record he'd class as a floor filler if he was DJ'ing.

Just a minute ago your love was here All of a sudden it seemed to disappear Sweetness was only heartache's camouflage The love I saw in you was just a mirage

What's The Best Line In A Record?
Oh baby I should write a letter, but what words would I choose, there's a chance you might accept me, but there's that chance you might refuse.
