    That's a JA press - looks original but you can never tell these days.

    It's not bad, read a mate's copy - kinda glad I never bought it myself as I need to save up for the next volume of the Soul Discography.

    Riot - Joe Bataan.

    Not a Northern soul artist but still a great soul artist - saw Charles Bradley at the Band On The Wall in Manchester a while back and it was the best soul show I've ever seen in my life (bearing in mind that I only went to my first gig in the mid 80s)

    I had "All I Want Is You" on a UK press on Page One a few years back but sold it as I wasn't into deep stuff at the time. I regret it now!

    My fiancee and I are going to have "The Day I Laid Eyes On You" by Leon Haywood. Not a rare tune but a perfect one!

    Yep, possibly the greatest singer ever to come from the Caribbean.

    Great instrumental Studio 1 version of the Wilson Pickett classic (actually released on Byron Lee's BRA label).

    Lots of Curtis Mayfield covers of course, here's one of the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyXcQq294zI

    Osteo-Arthritis in my back. I used to try to dance but stopped after some people laughed at me.

    Move On Up - Curtis Mayfield I'm Going Home To Live With God - O.V.Wright and as my casket moves towards the furnace: Firestarter - The Prodigy

    Once in a blue moon as I don't drive and rely on lifts plus my partner prefers soul nights to nighters as she likes to be tucked up in bed by about 1am!

    Forgot to add that I play them every day but never the same album more than a few times to try and keep them in as excellent shape as I can.

    Got around 1500 45s, consisting of around 1000 ska/rocksteady/reggae and 500 soul 45s. Around 7000 albums, of which around 4000 are ska/rocksteady/reggae, 1000 are soul and 2000 are 40s to 60s R&B, doo wop and blues. Out of my albums, around 2000 are on vinyl and 5000 CDs.

    Very heavily influenced by Curtis Mayfield of course. He did a nice second cut for Bunny Lee circa 1973 titled "The Minstrel".

    Surely there's a place though for nights that play a bit of everything? Oldies fans will go to oldies venues and so on. I like all soul, except for stuff made from the late 70s onwards made with synthesisers, computers, etc (with the exception of tunes and albums recorded in analog with real instruments such as the last couple of Candi Staton albums). I don't understand why there's so much debate on this at times - no one is forcing any of us to go to a venue that we don't like!
