Were There Any Older Guys At Wigan?
Presumably all the 16 year old Wiganites that attended the Casino from 1973 must have looked pretty old to the 16 year olds that only started going in 1980. Just saying like 😉

How Modern is Modern?
I take your point Mark, and I do consider myself an "across the board" black music fan. I believe it is the human element involved in playing the music so that even in the 60's 4/4 dance beat you can hear slight differences within the track whereas electronically created sounds simply don't. As I said it is the vocals that generally elevate E.D.M. or innovative producers such as Louis Vega. I am, of course, always prepared to be convinced otherwise and will give the electronic stuff a listen.

How Modern is Modern?
That Jasper Street Co. cut is what I consider to be soulful house. Personally I find a lot of the 'beats' employed in house somewhat formulaic with the occasional tune elevated by the quality of the vocalist(s).

Record Store day 2019
The Ralph Graham track is the flip side to the Sharon Ridley 7". I am hopeful for the Alice Clark LP but we shall see. Maybe the Box set 7" if they are about.

Record Store day 2019
Reading most of the posts above I get the feeling that many are underwhelmed by the RSD 2019 offering. The Soul Brother show yesterday played a good overview of some of the Funk/Soul items being made available. https://www.mixcloud.com/soulbrothersounds/soul-brother-selection-rsd-2019-preview-special-7th-april-2019/ Difficulty is finding a store locally to me that is likely to order a lot/any of the Funk/Soul items and with many limited to 500 pressings across the 200+ stores involved I do not fancy my chances but we will wait and see.

Soul dancing
On this subject, soul dancing, there is an interview with Mister Tee (of Real Side Records) on Soul On The Real Side vol. 8, that suggested Northern Soul dancing was nothing new (in the '70s) since Tommy Hunt was making a lot of those moves back in the 1950's!

Durand Jones & the Indications 'Don't You Know'
If anyone is in any doubt that quality soul music is not produced in 2019 they should take a listen to the Durand Jones album American Love Call. Absoulutely superb.

Thoughts on Re-edits of Northerrn Soul tracks?
Is it not a little bit like covers; most are worse, some are good but nearly all lack the originality of the original!

Prices and Values of Music
Hi Mike I think there is a difference between the value of something and its worth. Both are subjective and earlier in the discussion I think you answered the question yourself earlier in this discussion. The value of something often will have an emotional attachment to it that its worth will not. So a record heard years ago that remind an individual of a specific time and place can be priceless. Nevertheless for someone that hears that same record for the first time and want it will likely just pay the current going price. Steve
