Steve S 60

So when is a limited edition no longer limited? 2000 numbered box sets followed by who knows how many unnumbered box sets. Sounds a bit naughty to me, advertising the singles as a limited issue, then pressing a load more, presumably to meet demand.

Wigan calling to the far away towns.

Cheers, just set the Sky Plus.

In Orlando at the moment and were going to see Robin Thicke at Universal Studios until he pulled out. The reason given was he'd lost his voice but a couple of days later it was announced he'd split up with the missus. Good result for me though, as the Commodores were on at Sea World the same day, so the kids had to put up with their old man singing along to some classic seventies soul. Really impressed with their performance. The two last remaining original members have been together for 46 years.

Was it a concert or one of his sermons Pete? If the latter it might explain why he spent most of the time talking to the audience and not singing.

Aaah, the fruit salad that is Northern Soul.

I believe Ian Brown is a personal friend of Elaine C.

The production company did advertise for investors from the general public.

Well done to all concerned.

Amazon have got the vinyl single available for pre-order at £5·91 with a release date of 24th March.

Maybe some promoters could set up record banks at their events and any philanthropic collectors could donate a few discs, then any impoverished soul fans could queue up for a soul pack.

I can think of at least 3 companies who won't be happy to see this, not to mention the artists, and that's before we start on here!

Just heard it on the car radio driving around Orlando.

Did bring out some live performances on DVD entitled Saw, Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV which sold really well but the feedback seemed to be that it wasn't quite what people were expecting when they bought them.

Wouldn't have it any other way.

True, tis a heavy burden to bear, but bear it we must, for the sake of future generations.

Keep doing what you're doing, I won't say keep on keeping cods. Hey and no badges! We don't need no stinking badges! Sh@t Simsy, I've just had a load of "Northern Soul Makes Me Happy" badges knocked up to sell at Prestatyn.

I've actually hung up my saw after witnessing that, Barry. F#cking sell outs!!

Incidentally, I think I've gained a bit of street cred with my 19 year old daughter after the appearance of the NS dancers last night, although she keeps correcting my pronunciation of Pharrell.

I can remember a few of my mates travelling down to Southampton back in the late 70s to appear on Saturday Banana at the Southern TV studios. Not up there with the Brits, but they all had a great time as young teenagers. I think Vernon was among those that appeared on the Saturday morning show.

Don't know if this has already been posted, but if anybody is interested, Craig Charles interviewed the two male leads from the film on his Funk & Soul Show on Saturday night...... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03vkts3
