    I get the point you're making Chorleysoul but I think you're over-emphasising the impact of the 45s that later got played here at their time of release in USA.

However Im guessing if you could get hold of any chart and actually looked through there would be very few "Northern" 45s . 20% perhaps. And most of that on local charts. The amount of stuff getting released as people as you say tried to emulate Motown's success would mean a lot fell by the wayside. No idea how many Northern 60's 45s there are but if we say the prime period for that style of music was say 64-68 then thats a hell of a lot of releases per week. Anyway I still contend that the UK did unearth forgotten 45s and we can be proud of that. The first rapper or R&B act that cites Tyrone Davis as an influence I'll give you my collection. ROD

    Im getting confused now. Motown albums don't have pictures of cows on because the Germans have nicht 'em. ROD

    I know this! Wait! "....... they're probably married and can't get a word in edgeways?" ROD
  4. I think you may be a tad too critical there as the sentence structure was entirely in keeping with the original communication in spittle-flecked green ink. ROD
  5. You're a fucking hypocrite who bends the rules to suit your sick self serving lying ego. If you don't ban James Trouble for that Michael Jackson posting, the shit is gonna hit you in the face. He sent abusive PMs to your members and you smiled about it,yetdeclared like some pompous headmaster that you'd caught me redhandedfor sending ONE that was pointing out a mild joke. YOU'RE ONE SICK TWISTED LYING FUCKER, AND I AM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE, YOU C*NT. Because I will not let this rest. The Soul world is going to know what a two faced lying c*nt hypocrite you are." And next week Ian will be here to show you how to enliven that small talk and make for the perfect dinner party. ROD
  6. My wife and I went for Guitar Ray "You're gonna wreck my life". ROD
  7. Im sure everyone knows this but it's said JB was so incensed that he put out the A.A.B.B. version of AWB. ROD
  8. Have you tried Joe Dunlop but he sounds a bit of a tirekicker to me. Sorry. Don't hurt me! ROD

    You know that's spooky. I was thinking that if somewhere early man decided that the horse made a better beast of burden than a food source how come they never thought of building a sled and harnessing 200 chickens to it. Or tried to ride a sheep [except in Wales]. Thanks Jaco. I was saving that for my retirement. ROD

    Purely unintentional. I wanted to finish on a joke but couldn't think of one. ROD

    I didn't know that Boba and trust you to pick on one of the only two things in the entire World that I don't know about, the other being the exact breakdown of votes in the House of Commons leading to the 1846 Repeal of the Corn Laws. ROD
  12. Modernsoulsucks replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    Like totally Boba! Im not too sure on "origins of the culture" as I woulda thought the culture was British but the music was almost all American. And at one time it was probably quite possible to play all night music that perhaps owed very little if not anything to Black America at all. Paul Anka, Bell Boys, Rufus Lumly, 7 Dwarves, Beverly Anne, Levi Jackson, Dean Parrish. You get the idea. ROD

    Early inhabitants are thought to have hunted them to extinction for food. Re-introduced by the Spanish which is a good job really cos running around the wagon train wouldn't have been half as impressive. ROD

    I think Im with Mr. Rimmer. Without the scene here most of this music would have been forgotten. It was largely ignored by the record-buying public in the USA at the time although I have seen enough copies of beat-up rarities with a name scrawled across the label to realise there was at least a smallish market for some of it. I've also met a few US collectors over there pre-internet days to say that it was appreciated albeit to nothing like the extent that it was in the UK. I don't know how Black and White has entered the debate. Im sure the artists etc just made records that they'd hope would sell especially when you consider that at the time Motown and Atlantic were regularly selling enough to make the US pop charts. I somehow doubt these 45s were aimed at a narrow target audience. When you think about it, it's not really that these records weren't appreciated for any long period. Whatever date can be attributed to the beginnings of the scene the actual music and sound was picked up on over here shortly after release and it was only the obscurity of most titles that meant we had to wait years before hearing them. It's not like we originally thought they were museum pieces with the emphasis on the value. Unlike Dave I've not attended do's abroad, although I did go to Sheffield once, but from my reading unless there is a large input from ex-pats the music policy is not strictly Northern, and perhaps nothing like what we knew in the first half of the 70's, but there can be no objection to others borrowing aspects of the music or trappings. After all we've done the same especially in the later years with slower tempo 45s being picked up from the Jamaican US and French/Belgian popcorn scenes and various records from the Beach scene. The fact that records are supposedly now going abroad rather than here doesn't affect us at all. It's always happened; particularly to Japan. Their dealers were in the USA at the same time as us so there's hardly been a time when the UK had first "dibs" on this music. And as someone said it's not like you see playlists from abroad that contain masses of 45s that we've somehow failed to get hold of over here. I have to admit the cynic in me does tend to feel sometimes that value has played a massive part in this new found interest in the USA but I guess Im going off Ebay sellers rather than collectors like Boba. Even so Boba's first statements contain the fallacy that Anderson was buying them for pennies and selling for hundreds when we all know that although some were relatively expensive the £100 45 didn't arrive until pretty late on in the 70's. It's not like we went to the USA with the intent to plunder their riches. Just to find the next "Sweet Things". So forget 45s as a commodity or a heritage we have to protect and maybe just a wry smile that what we started has a good night out has evolved into a multi-faceted phenomena. ROD
  15. Yes your fellow countryman Mr. Cosgrove wes well into that Go-Go thing. It never really broke through though like hip-hop. ROD
  16. Yes Sean. Since Ribble Borough Council twinned Clitheroe with Compton it's certainly opened my eyes and ears. There were a couple of letters to the local paper but on the whole I think it's been a good thing. The opening of the local "Glocks R Us" store has brought much needed employment to the town and luxury car sales have risen dramatically along with drive-by shootings. Arising out of a dispute between the Rotary and local Conservative club; hopefully these will reduce over time as we've now swapped our Bingo night to Tuesday removing the cause of the friction. The craic in the local Irish club has never been better although you do have to smoke it outside. ROD
  17. WORD! Well,couple of sentences really. Right on. What it is and i'll go t'fut of our stairs. ROD
  18. Thank you Pete. I noticed you steppin' to it when you helped out on the cake stall but when Mrs. Ramsbottom said she thought the carrot cake was somewhat dry she really didn't mean to dis you. We have got rid of the body though now. ROD
  19. I did get a rather attractive offer from SAGA Holidays. Here is another funky classic with the added bonus that the video was shot at a meeting of the local Clitheroe Rotary Club ROD
  20. Kool and the Gang my arse! What about this gem.
  21. I can take the leather armour off then. It's chafing something awful and I shoulda looked where I'd put my horned helm before sitting down. ROD
  22. No it's bobbins of course. I assume from Canada where quite a few of those Mecca disco things originated. ROD
  23. Received this email today. Anyone else? "hello how do you know if the vynil your wanna buy is from the original label ? or general information about the label from the song ? where do i found those or can you tell me is there as well a repres from the songs on the same label ? and how you know than thats the 1 press ? maybe you can help me out or sending where i can get general informations for care " I think it's self explanatory [er....] The guy/gal is called Christin although I prefer to think of him/her as "Desperate of Dortmund" Anyone got the faintest idea where to start or could come up with some useful information. I suggested he asked the members generally rather than me specifically and he replied "just generelly but don't you think there is allready a post like this ? there is so much sites and don't know where to look " I leave it in your capable hands. ROD
  24. I will meet the cur on the plains of Nightgaunt [exit 12 M62] armed with my fearsome weapon and wielding my magic sword, "Lil-Lets" [ forged by the elven smiths of Garbed but the bloodcurdling forgename loses something in translation from the original Garbedene] clad only in revealing leather body armour and topped off with a vermillion cloak made from the silk of the fanged Damehsi beast of the Southern Wastelands and a snip at £7.99 in the C&A sale. Maybe we could go clubbing afterward. I believe 45Cellar said he'd also heard Hamilton version first. That's 2-1 and so perhaps I will put aside the slur on my honour and reputation. Looks like rain here as well, and there's the ironing... ROD
