What did you say after you broke it though John.

It was JM as I'm sure he will confirm if he see's this thread.

[quote from a non bear drinking woman...

Beyond belief.

Stopping Otis Redding and Sam Cooke from dying so young. Would have been fascinating to see how they developed musically.

Found you

From memory, and its not what it was , I seem to recollect a good counterfeit was issued. Can anyone confirm?

Spot on. 1970 - 1980 - halcyon days. for me.

Just a class record. Nuff said

I'm quite surprised no one has mentioned Lou and Laura Poole - Only you and I know. Another forgotten oldie that needs a few spins now.

And Len's too shy to say it was him who played it!

Totally agree. It was only the second Silk and numbers were up on the first. Give it a few more months and with quality sounds like Saturdays playlist it will be a cracking venue.

What Mike wanted to achieve he succeeded. Excellent version.

Hi Karen, I tried to make the point I wasn't against someone trying to set up a successful enterprise. IMO, and thats the key point, its been set up with a degree of cynicism to make cash, no more or less. If the 'entenepeurs' could have latched onto something that they percieved as more successful they would have. I didn't (and won't) dismiss the past, but again IMO, this is just an attempt to cash in on a nostalgia trip. A relevant and accurate homage to WC would get my support, and I suspect of a lot of others would agree as well. Until that happens I'll stick clear of any blatant commercilisation that has no relevance to what I know as NS, either now or historically. Cheers Tabs

I've been reading this thread with a wry smile. The bottom line is some enterprise has set up a "theme caf / eatery" to make money. It really is that pure and simple. The fact it's associated with Northern Soul and Wigan Casino is immaterial. If they could make a buck using Uncle Joes Mint Ball's they would have. We might not agree with the commercialisation of what was an underground scene in the 70's but nostalgia in all its forms is still a money maker. IMO, for all the valid reasons previously discussed, they can stick it where the sun don't shine. I'll live with my memories and I don't have any inclination to have a latte in a setting which has no relevance to the scene then or now.

JM has one for sale @ £30.

Hi Ganche, Probably been posted before but whatever.................. https://www.lorrainesilver.com/ See you in 2 weeks. Tabs

A lot of the CD's I get are for special occasions, eg anniversaries, new venue etc. I find they tend to promote the type of venue they are promoting. Consequenlty an across the board will contain a mixture of sounds which won't neccessarily gell togeteher. As Soul Girl says don't look a gift horse in the mouth. If a CD only contains 2 tracks I haven't heard then its a winner. Best Tabs

In no particular order my 3 : Time Marches On - Laine Hill Nothing but blue skies -Jackie Wilson This Beautiful Day - Levi Jackson. Just killer lyrics.

See post 6 and yes he did, allegedly supplied by his 'Uncle' in the States.
