Happy Feet

I noticed 3 weeks ago , a 200grm. jar of Kenco coffee was £6. Last week it was £7. Luckily we had a sachet 150 grm. in stock purchased the week before at £4.25 , This week the 200 grm. jar is down to £5. What's that all about , so I bought 2 lol 😂

Hi Ben , Have Pmd , Dave ,

Ha ha , I wasn't in any way blaming you , it was more an open question , I am amazed at the price of the cd , same track listing as the original Vinyl album which is much cheaper .

What, why is the cd commanding such a high price ?

Probably because only a limited few can be squeezed into the Northern Soul bracket, lots of great dance tunes but maybe require another genre to show their true potential , maybe Popcorn or just Latino who knows , it could be the next big thing on Strictly Come Dancing at the Blackpool Tower , every other type of soul music has been squeezed in somehow 🤔🤔

My number 3 , Allen Toussaint connection,,,, Benny Spellman , Fortune Teller

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_McCracklin My 2nd choice, Jimmy McCracklin ,The Walk ,Chess records 58 .

The one that probably started the whole shape of things to come ,, Ray Charles , What I'd Say , 61 ish , I'll have to think or work on the other 4 .

Hi Roger Have pmd Dave

I'm sure Clarkie when he found a batch at the time , said he had made contact with Jan Jones and she was supplying him with copies , I know they where very reasonably priced he had that many copies , he currently has a black & white promotion photo of Jan Jones for auction on eBay if anybody wants one .

Something must have clicked because we're now going forward and actually pressing, instead of sitting back and letting the opposition keep us in our half , passing the ball from left to right inviting pressure. Well done England , Ollie Ollie Ollie , Ollie Ollie !

Hattie Littles , Love , Trouble ,Heartaches & Misery , at least two members of the selection team at Motown back in the day had no Soul , Great work Alex muchas gracias senor !

Great title too

I only mentioned it as a teaser, due to its date of release and according to comments made over the years " Funky edged banger with a tinge of Jazz " not just a Northern Classic sorry 😐

Hi Rod, Have Pmd. Dave

Thanks Peter I'm doing fine , 67 got over the worse ,back at work loving life etc , What about the Instrumental version , definitely a modern take lol .

Personally I always thought that " modern soul" was just as inclusive as the traditional Northern Soul tunes and if mixed in to a set , as did RS , a second room would never have been necessary, unless overcrowding was the problem , Ila Vann , You Made Me This Way. Carstairs, It Really Hurts Me Girl. Dooley Silverspoon , Game Players. Fifth Amendment, I Got You where I Want You . Mandrill , Too Late . So many as mentioned earlier, and a very important topic , perhaps not the big money tunes but all great tunes at their introduction, and have obviously helped to keep this wonderful music genre moving on to 2024 and beyond .

1 in 1 out 2 to go , was hoping for a Germany V England final , and we win on their turf that would've been worth a watch , now probably Spain , come on England,,

Not at all Peter everyone's entitled to their opinion, it was just a teaser ,,, like The Montclair's, Hey you , personally prefer " Hung Up On Your Love " have them both and one was played on its release , and sold in bucket fulls and definitely should be in a Top 500 modern list . Glad to see you up & running by the way , stay strong mate

One that was released in 1970 , but you'd never believe it and sounds like an old soul classic , Lou Pride , I'm Com'un Home In The Morn'un, Suemi , 1st played 74ish , can it be considered in the top 500 modern soul list ?

Great game though , could have gone either way well done Spain , but why did the Germans bring on Muller legs have gone unless they where playing for penalties?

Me too

Lol, A mate of mine early 80s made a large wall in his lounge, into his record library come music room , he stacked bricks with scaffold boards , floor level up 1st 2 shelves for albums then 45s . It looked quite impressive and wasn't permanent so could be altered to suit ,not bad for an history teacher with limited DIY skills .

Not forgetting the right kind of mood lighting , made this one a few years back , it measures 50cm. x 15cm. x 10cm. using an under cabinet neon tube light from BnQ , it's one of the pre made light fittings including plug so no fears of overheating when the stompers come out 😆

I recently upgraded from one to two decks , small mixer etc check out Juno media 2 x reloops mk 11 direct drive decks plus Citronic mixer ask for best price ( it tells you to) prior to ordering , £203 each deck & £72.for mixer all in free postage via DHL , fortunately able to make my own cabinets and top to house everthing , at a level , low enough to sit in my comfy all leather John Lewis recliner and footstool , that I treated myself to via ebay £50. ( was over £500. new ) All my records are shelved in front above or under the decks , back & side wall , so I can just spin and reach out without having to move too much , beers in the chiller box sorted
