Steve S 60

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.

It'll make its way onto YouTube then, so us non Brummies can see it.

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?

Very polished. Beats watching a record spinning around for two and a half minutes.

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.

Glad Philb's put you out of your misery. Know the tune but couldn't think of the title and artist. Got it on Talk of the Grapevine CD.

The Remarkables - You Wouldn't Have Anything

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.

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.

Enjoying this second volume. Also looking forward to the second volume of Dore LA Soul Sides, due for release at the end of the month.

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.

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.

First there was the Rumble in the Jungle, then the Thriller in Manila. Now we have the Joke in Stoke.

The incident is probably on YouTube or Face Book now, as seems to be the way these days.

Was it an ex-pat or a native?

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

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.

And it looks like, it feels like, it's got the earmarks, woe yeah, it's just another heartbreak for me.
