Funny I'll be at the same venue as well. I assume you mean the first do at Warwick. I'll get you a water in

And don't forget some of the freestyle ladies from Rugby who all play there own records. Kylee, Ganche and Mrs. Soul spring to mind.

No the cut off for parties / clubs is 0600 Hrs on Sunday.

Megaupload is lke a lot of free file sharing sites, a pain in the arse. Click the link. Enter the 3 digit code and click download. Wait the 45 secs. Click on the freedownload tab, when it says freedownload ,at the botom right where the seconds countdown. Download should then start. Its in rar format so you will need Winrar to extract it. Cheers

Chec out My guy is boss on DCP. Midtempo sound.

You are not wrong, it was issued in 1979 and 1981 with the same B isde -Sweeter as the days go by. From memory both issues had the same matrix number. I think the difference is the label / paper but I'm sure someone will provide more details. Cheers Tabs

If you mean when it was re issued with Chris Clark version on the other side then the number is CAT NO 982 153 0. One on eBay now if you are looking.

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.
