Willie Mason Ka La Ma Why?
regarding the nat hall flip its very similar in style to his take on "why" the guitar, the rises etc etc. sounds OK can imagine it getting people dancing.

Tommy Ridgley On River City
rare deep soul from New Orleans on the tiny river city label from a great singer. put up a previous thread requesting info but no replies. I'll stick a price of 80UK on this see how it goes. 2 copies available and 1 stopping in my collection. Its deep soul of the highest quality on both sides. cheers.

The Root Of All Evil On The Soul Scene
you missed this bit when quoting me but in the 3 or so months i've been back on i've added a couple of great 45s to the collection and made a couple of new contacts so its not all bad. and refosoul is very good. I should certainly add that. Its very informative. but its not just one thread with people moaning its quite a few more noticeable lately for some reason ?

The Root Of All Evil On The Soul Scene
ground hog day indeed it does seem to be getting worse and worse. prehaps its time for another break from the forum for me. I had about 5 months not reading then came back full of hope only to ready post after post of this kind of stuff. but in the 3 or so months i've been back on i've added a couple of great 45s to the collection and made a couple of new contacts so its not all bad. also i'm more concearned about the fact that another copy of jimmy holloway has just appeared on ebay. Hope there aren't going to be too many more ????

Watch This Be The Next Big 60's Sound

The Rave Scene/soul Scene
a touch young for the heyday of the big warehouse parties and infamous clubs but did a lot of house music clubbing between 92-97 then stopped and then got into soul music about 99ish.... Well I mean took an interest in the culture etc etc then moved on to collecting the records and trying to learn mroe about soul music in general. Can't believe I left it as late as I did. musically soul as you say wins no question but for pure atmosphere what I have seen on more recent years on soul scene gets nowhere close to what I saw in the house clubs. don't realy listen to any house musivc now but they were special times. Doesn't seem to be anything like that happening now and I can't see what will come along and have the same impact in the future. It must have been unreal in that 88-90 period. The older lads we knew around town used to come back with great stories about shellys in stoke, renaissance in mansfied etc etc.

Tommy Ridgley On River City
Picked up a copy of this recently but also managed to aquire a spare copy. Its 2 very good deep soul sides to my ears but what price should I be trying to sell it for ? I have just seen it listed for 200UK on a dealers list is this a fair price ? I'd be happy to let my spare go 1/2 this price, could be a good price for somebody ?? or prehaps not ?? Its the 45 he cut just before the big ticket northern item and i'm guessing this is a fairly small nola label that would have only been distributed locally. dylan

Hot Box Records
Hot boxing is watching what Ian Wright and Butch buy and then posting it up on here as a want and offering stupid money for it. Trent Sisters, Buddy Cantrell, Willie Johnson. its a joke.

Radio 2 "the Definitive History Of Uk Dance" Northern Soul
you didn't expect to be pleasently suprised by this show did you ? its exactly as I expected it to be and I suspect you as well surely.....

Radio 2 "the Definitive History Of Uk Dance" Northern Soul
tend to agree with this for a casiual observer interested in learning a bit about northern soul this show was good and the tracks started off good although did drift off a bit as the show went on. For most people already involved with the scene then its not going to be informative and you are unlikely to learn anything. This is a mainstream radio station at prime time, it was never going to get a show which is aimed at a relatively small minority in the overall scheme of things.
