THIS IS A GOOD THREAD,BALANCE TO LIFE IS IMPORTANT,PUTTING THE MUSIC INTO CONTEXT ALSO.AS IVE GOT OLDER NOW 44 NOT REALLY HAD ANY BREAKS INCLUDING 5 TRIPS TO USA ANOTHER ONE THIS YEAR CANT IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT THE POINTS MENTIONED THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE NOW FOR ME IS MY OBSESSION WITH DEEP SOUL AND SWEET SOUL. MY VIEW IS THAT SURE I LOVE THE NORTHERN SIDE BUT DEEP SOUL AND SWEET SOUL AND NUMEROUS SUPPLY WHICH IS UNTOUCHED GIVES ME MORE ENJOYMENT.IN MANY RESPECTS IM TIRED OF NORTHERN AND ALOT OF THE EGOS INVOLVED ON THE SCENE BUT I LOVE DEEP AND SWEET. THE NORTHERN SCENE HAS ALWAYS HAD A STUPID INCESSANT INFATUATION WITH RARITY WHICH TO ME IS COMPLETE AND UTTER BOLLOCKS,SOMETIMES THIS HAS GONE ABOVE QUALITY TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE SCENE IMHO. MY LIFE NOW WITH A BUSY EXPANDING BUSINESS REVOLVES AROUND WORK,FAMILY AND SOUL MUSIC NOT NORTHERN SOUL MUSIC.IF A DEALER IN OCTOBER OFFERS ME THE NEXT BIG THING FOR 2000US HE WILL BE TOLD TO F--K OFF ,I WILL USE THAT MONEY TO BOLSTER MY XOVER,DEEP AND SWEET COLLECTION. WHEN I DO DJ I THINK I ENJOY IT MORE BECAUSE IT SIGNIFIES IM AROUND LIKEMINDED PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN THINGS THROUGH BUT CONVERSION TURNS WHEN IM SHOWN A RARE TUNE WHICH IS SHIT AND SOMEONE IS TELLING ME ITS GREAT,THINK IVE SUSSED MY TASTE BY NOW. IVE GOT GOOD FRIENDS ON THE SCENE , ALL THE LADS IVE WENT TO DOS WITH SINCE BACK IN THE DAY ITS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE THEM AND ALWAYS WILL BE,THAT IS THE SPECIAL THING AT THE END OF THE DAY.

Agree with that ted .ALSO alot of those thelmas in the early eighties were peanuts,do you remember tony colby top detroit man at the time HE LET SO MUCH GO ,there again we all have at some point. BAZ A

get them mate its still the greatest soul logo ever imho. BAZ A

yep agree with that got most of this logo back in the day ,bloody great logo some quality stuff that should get a bit more regognition imho. BAZ A

VANGUARDS LOOKS LIKE A STEEL FOR A TRACK THAT WILL GET HARDER,BLOODY GREAT TUNE ALSO. BAZ A

yes id go along with that, also a great british detroit section very well written and a superb tracking on similar detroit backing tracks. BAZ A

id say 6-700 easily particuclary if it is mint. BAZ A

CARRYING RECORDS ABOUT IS A PAIN IN THE ARSE ,YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE WORRY ,THE IDEAL SCENARIO WOULD BE AN ELECTRIC SHOCK COUPLED WITH AN ALARM THEN WHEN THE PERPERTRATOR OPENS YOUR BOX A FIST THE SIZE OF LENNOX LEWIS BOXING GROVE WHACKS HIM/HER AND KNOCKS THEM OUT. CHAINING THEM IS A GOOD IDEA ,MINE USUALLY GO BACK IN THE CAR AS SOON AS I AM FINISHED AND KEPT NEAR TO ME TILL THEN. BAZ A.

DEFINETLY HE WROTE WITH GREAT KNOWLEDGE LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS BOOK VERY MUCH. baz a

oh yes baz a

STUMBLED ON THIS LAST NIGHT GREAT READ STILL,WE REFERRED TO THIS AS THE BIBLE IN THE LATE EIGHTIES EARLY NINETIES,ROD DEARLOVE ETC.SOME NICE BRITISH STUFF AS WELL,THIS WAS WAY WAY BEFORE THE PRICE QUIDES ETC,ANY HISTORY ON THIS WOULD BE GREAT READING INDEED. BAZ A.

OH YES HE WAS THE MAN WITHOUT A DOUBT AND A REAL CHARACTER RESPONSIBLE FOR SO MANY GOOD TUNES INDEED,THE SPEED LIMITS WAS DEFINETLY A CUT ABOVE . baz a
