Hi Taffy , nice to meet you at Chris and Moldies . Ill be Deejaying at Soulastatic , Gothenburg with Christain and Fredrick , lots of Modern played !!

Just pick whats best for you Martin

I was a mod in 1979 and that record caused mayhem , as everyone jumped up and down like punks and became agressive .. I wonder how they danced at Wigan to The Who ?

Is it true they played The Who at Wigan ?

Those breaks , perfect for northern dancers and funk .. if only I was young again

Surely The Love Experience is out and out hard funk ?

Yeah Johnathn was the chap playing early house mixed in with , well almost everything . Again I cant say where things were played first ( well unless its a modern soul new release) ... but Ive heard most of the funky stuff was played in London on release at venues like Crackers . It was obvious to me that people had quite a few different dance styles at Rare Groove nighters and could often adapt to the records played .. Today the Northern scene is happy to stick to one style of dance , and even fast shuffling is not ofen seen

Yeah thats right the dancers at Meltdown gigs were used to funkier styles under the banner of Rare Groove .. I cant really remember a track that went over to nighter scene from rare groove at the moment . ps. Not really the Jazz Funk styles of 1980/82 .. although that was included at Rare Groove gigs too

House music used to clear the floor , at London gigs around 1986 ,as the dancers were more used to funkier styles !!

maybe the majority of people cant dance to this style of music on the NS scene now

Top tune this !! Would it work only in london and abroad ?

Loads of great funky tunes on the scene . Record Player ,Flaming Emeralds , Black Nasty etc etc

cccc

I have only the Willie Dee on Chi-heat The others on ICA and one on the LP with the naked gilr I think

Chi-HeatWashington-DC CH-101 L.V. Johnson - Trying To Hold On / Pt. 2 CH-102 Edee Leatherwood - Make It Last / When He Calls Me CH-103 Willie Dee It Looks Like Rain / There Is Enough Pain To Go Around (1977)

Helena you could sell that Barbara St Clair you have , easy for £450 , however Martin RBman hates it

Ive always liked it Martin I bought it for £2.50 from Soul Bowl , I seem to remember Pro Fasination and Tony Troutman in the same order three nice yellow lables there I thought ... Your taste seems to be like my 60's Mod mates , but you dont look as old as them ?

We really do need that little newies room Russ

Miles better than all your doris day and freddie and the dreamers impersonaters
