Good interview. Elaine's birthday as well, although she was suffering from man flu. Probably spending too much time down south. Gone soft.

Elaine C about to be interviewed on Solar Radio now.

I would have loved to hear something like the Apollas last Saturday night to break up the relentless non-stop stompers one DJ played for his entire set.

Went to see Quadrophenia as an 18 year old when it first came out, and wasn't the least bit compelled to dress like a Mod, so I can't see a huge surge in sales of baggy trousers. Quadrophenia was part of a double bill with Scum, back in the day when you used to get two main features for your money. Now that did put me off going in greenhouses for a while.

Brilliant. Did he carry a copy of Manship's guide around with him?

Vinyl boxset looks good.... https://youtu.be/BtrICmIgyak I ordered it from the film website and got sent the CD instead, followed by an apology and instructions to have the CD for free.

Reaches the parts that other singers cannot reach.

Gemma, you may want to check this Soul Source thread out.....

Taking scans of everything would be a good move as well, with your name on the scan.

Wouldn't a permanent UV marker pen be a safer option, and less likely to devalue the vinyl?

Very sad news. I hope something turns up to help track down the culprits.

Lost a few of those badges when I had a bag nicked at the Casino. Still got a mint Oldies Farewell Nighter badge. Can't believe someone paid £112 for one three weeks ago.

It was very much down to the acoustics and the sound system. I think it will make all the difference seeing it in the cinema on a decent sized screen and a proper Dolby sound system, or even a decent home cinema system. I'm going to reserve my judgement until I've watched it again on a proper set up.

I would have spent my pocket money on Major Lance.

Deja Vu?

Alas, another wedge has been driven through the heart of the Northern Soul fraternity. Shoes vs Trainers.

The DVD is out on the 20th October.

Curzon Victoria The Gate Greenwich picture house Dalston 17th Oct for first 3, 18th for last one I think, but best check.

Thanks for that. I will now display the fist with impunity.

A good and proper result, but I only managed to get to page 3 of the document. Too much legal jargon for a Thursday afternoon. If Retro Bags had won, it would mean they could prevent others using the logo for whatever purpose. Pretty difficult to enforce, I would have thought. They're hardly Nike.

I believe Paolo Nutini has sampled it on his latest album. That's probably what you heard. https://youtu.be/s6HB5nMtqT4

Had a pair of Dunlop Green Flash back in the mid 70s, which were really comfy with stacks of grip but were a bugger to keep clean. Just looked on line for a pair, and Dunlop do them in loads of different colours now, and I can't believe they're less than a tenner.

Can't take any credit for the Huddersfield showing, but I'm going to ask my local cinema about a screening. Given the manager is my oldest lad's best mate I'm quietly confident.

Add Huddersfield to the list..... https://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/northern-soul-movie-rekindles-memories-7810370
