Back to work now lol,please no emails folks protesting the right to be a womble ,or the right to play oldies,or the right to be nostalgig,or the right to buy a pastie-cos i dont give a flying f--k lol. BAZ A

F--K ME HAVE YOU GOT ORDER DETAILS FOR THEM MATE -KNOW LOADS OF KINKY GAGE FIGHTERS I TRAIN WITH WHAT WOULD LOVE THEM - THERE WOULD LOOK A TAD BETTER IF THE GUY DOING A KICK WAS A WOMBLE LOL PMSL. PMSL -- brill Bet he's wearing his NS thong

SIMON YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO THROW ME OUT - IM NOT PART OF A NORTHERN SOUL CONSPIRACY -I JUST WANT TO WORK MY SPLITS AND BACKDROPS!

SIMON GETING READY FOR THE WOMBLE FACTOR IN ANTICIPATION HE HAS GONE BALD AND JUST ORDERED HIS SPENCERS SOUL BAGS!

By far one of the funniest threads ive ever read -pmsl on a dull over-worked Friday the wombles of wigan lol,makes me want to go to costa and knick a patch and start a revolution,i reckon SIMON COWELL is on this thread now planning the WOMBLE FACTOR -f--k me the perliminarys would be funny all those rejected 50+northern types smelling of sweat and getting there spins mixed up, "yes i think you have talent butyou could of at least sqeezed another spin out and wow that back drop" tell me did you have any formal NORTHERN SOUL DANCE TRAINING "? AH CHERLY SAYS -HES CUTE ISNT HE WHAT A LOVELY TATTOO AND BALDY HEAD -WE SHOULD LET HIM IN ANYWAY,Simon says oh go on then me little geordie chirrup -maybe his back drop and double splits will be exposed when we speed up the volumme in the next round and get them to dance to linda and the funky boys on an escalter on the way to GREGGS for a pastie!! THE WOMBLE FACTOR -!!! GET YOUR NAME DOWN NOW !! BAZ A

To me its a record that puts it all into context -it moves me to the core along with choice of colours,people get ready,and wake up everybody,you could write a book on these 4 alone and their affect on a myriad of things.Awesome version by Al -looks like AMAZON HAS BEEN BUSY TODAY!!! BAZ A.

ive got numerous contacts for New Jersey mate if you want to cross the bridge and get out of the big apple-Lou Silvani at times square is cds now so no luck there-used to be downstairs records on 42nd street but fleeced in the early nineties with numerous others!!Id just enjoy the city to be honest!!!tHE DIRECTORIES ARE GOOD -i dug loads of contacts out for Mick H when he went -ill see if I still have them- BAZ A.

Dont mess about Baz ,Get to the point:wicked: Take care bud ATB salmon HOW YOU DOING MATE DROP ME A PM TO LET ME KNOW. BAZ A

some crackers on there strong recommend is the peoples choice on vernoeeca-awesome dounle sider-cant see that been n long for a tenner!!! BAZ A

Always lock my wants for the following reasons 1.i take pms and negotiate -the purchase of a record for me is between the buyer and seller 2.let the thread run and usualy someone has the four penneth in about rarity-availability-price-etc-well "so what" and then the record is talked up or down and it becomes a free for all-a good example was the lee fields thread and some of the ridiculous bollocks wrote about the record. 3.a deal to me should be private -i also when i sell are more than happy not to respond to emails from people asking who has got this or that-simply no-ones business!! 4.and ofcourse people say there have the record and dont respond to pms !! BAZ A. PS IT IS UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL OFCOURSE SOME PREFER THE CRACK AND BANTER OTHERS JUST PREFER TO GET THE DISC AND GET IT IN THE COLLECTION.

pmedyou!! BAZ A

NATE EVANS - MAIN SQUEEZE - top tune indeed and a bargain BAZ A

THE C.O.D'S - I'M LOOKING OUT FOR ME - KELLMAC - their best imho BAZ A

THE TRAMPS-TRUSTING HEART-GOLDEN FLEECE - I will take this anyday over most of the shite passed off as soul music at soul dos these days -incredible outfit!!! BAZ A

COMMODORES - GIRL, I THINK THE WORLD ABOUT YOU - MOTOWN - BAZ A. Played machine gun last night -whats going on with that -bloody incredible!!!

DO AGREE TONY THIS IS FROM THE FIRST ALBUM I THINK!! EARTH, WIND & FIRE - I THINK ABOUT LOVIN' YOU - WB - BAZ A

ARTHER CONLEY - PUT OUR LOVE TOGETHER - This record blows away most!!! BAZ A.

WILSON PICKETT - HOW WILL I EVER KNOW - WICKED 8101 - COVERED UP ONCE AS BROTHER LOUIE BROWN-OH LORDEY !!! BAZ A

STYLISTICS - SEARCHIN - BAZ A

HAROLD MELVIN-SATISFACTION GUARENTEED-PIR - Ill give you something good !!! BAZ A

agree with the Stylistics and the brilliant Tramps partiuclary their incredible lps -others what spring to mind are the Delphonics which are without a doubt the sweetest group of all imho -also the Intruders -just simply mindblowing !When i think about this logically the person who has the most in terms of undervalued incredible records is bloody Edwin Starr-how many times when he was alive did we gasp "oh not Edwin again"just play Harlem or I have faith in you and weep at the genius,his stuff on granite also-never off the decks in my house!! Who else well alot of the philly-int -taken for granted by many -radio 2 played me and mrs jones the other day,I swear this record has the lot imho-as does satisfaction quarenteed -harold melvin.I absolutely agree on Arthur Conley "put our love together "is a masterpeice recording catching the essence of the early seventies sound-also how many take for granted Wilson Pickett -if you want a lesson in deep soul play search my heart -it has the lot-i think some artistes can get painted with a few hits and we can take the other stuff for granted-Wilson is a fine example of this!! How many stax records charted? perhaps every artiste on this definitive logo gets taken for granted particulary the awesome Soul Children -move over -is in my all time top 5.Candi Staton is another "try -you dont love me no more for size -mindblowing,an artiste who had a massive chart hit then really judged on the basis of that. In many ways most of the motown stuff is taken for granted in some form or another take the Commodores -play the human zoo -it is a fantastic record -so progressive for the time as was Marvin Gaye "trouble man",how many people would really search Marvins catalogue out?how many for instance know about tracks like "you",a classic example again of fame blighting peoples perception of quality! JAMES BROWN -took the northern crowd an eon to latch onto people wake up and live -etc,well hes just funk aint he [bollocks]check out georgia on my mind -again a miracle in the making!!And dont listen to the soul-stirrers lol-what have there got to offer "I supose it goes on and on!! My view on this is that the obscure argument has dulled alot of senses for so long -alot of the records that charted did so simply because there were brillaint -and alot of the input of most artists after their chart sucess in many ways even got better!!! BAZ A. CURTIS MAYFIELD -MOVE ON UP "AH SHITE "WELL HE AINT DONE NOWT HAS HE-JUST PARHAPS THE GREATEST GENUIS OF ALL-CHECK OUT MOST OF HIS CURTOM STUFF WHICH LUCKILY IS NOW IN REFO-SOUL -TRUE MASTER IN ALL HIS GLORY!!
