    Really tough record this, only ever had it twice, one was last year which I sold for £250 though going by how many people asked for it I could maybe have added £50 on top of that

     

    Just goes to show Pete! I had a VG++ which I had for sale on SS just over 12 months ago for £275 - no takers.

    Looked at Popsike and there's been quite a few sold recently, mainly for less than that, but one well over that. Suggested to me that perhaps I had been asking a little over the current going rate, or perhaps just a case of wrong time, wrong place :g:

    Wasnt Rnb where it all started ??? It's one of the sub genre that's a major part of the scene ! Fine examples below...

    Jimmy Robin - I Can't Please You

    Big Daddy Rodgers - I'm A Big Man

    Mickey Champion - What Good Am I

    Ac Reed - My Baby Been Cheating

     

    All great RnB tunes but you omitted the best one -

     

    Dorothy Williams - Watchdog :thumbsup:

    Over the years I've done them all, turned the wrong deck off, lifted the arm off the playing record

     

    Been there, done that, be surprised if anyone hasn't :)

    Also, playing the wrong side is another one. Sure everyone will admit to that one as well :wicked:

    Hurrah! At last there is some recognition that there are two completely different scenes.

     

    For most youngsters now it'll be a passing fad, same as it was for most youngsters in the 1970's. You'd be amazed at how many people I meet down here who "went to wigan casino" when they were young, bought a few pressings, then drifted away and who'se musical stimulation today comes from watching The X Factor or listening to Lady GaGa.

     

    I don't get upset about these nostalgia types bouncing around in their baggies, they're no different the Teddy Boys, the 40s housewives and anyone else who dresses up to badge themselves. Only comment I'd make is that although I'm not on their "scene", I obviously still like some of the music that they like.

     

    But by contrast they probably don't like any of the music that I like.....

    You've hit the nail on the head there Steve. I never went to Wigan but knew loads of lads (& a few lasses) who did! How many of them stayed on the soul scene post 75/76 :g:

    The number of people I've met, as soon as you mention NS they'll assure you they went to Wigan Casino :)

    Mainly for that reason, if I'm asked what my interests are, I no longer reply "Nothern Soul" I just say "Soul Music". If I'm asked to expand I'll say rare soul, Motown, Philadelphia sound & Modern soul.

    To any "normal" person over the age of 40 Northern Soul just seems to conjure up images of baggy trousers, vests, beer towels and talcum powder :(

    I thought Chic were great!

    The female singer on the right was just OK imho but Kimberley Davis was bloody fantastic!

    Really good set and the timing of when they went into Bowie's 'Let's Dance' was superb. One of the few times i wished I was in the crowd at that time!

     

    So did I Steve - first time I'd heard Kimberley Davis - what a voice :thumbup:

    Shame Bernie Edwards no longer with us, would have loved to have seen the original line up perform!

    A few years back somebody organised a coach from London to New Century allnighter in Manchester - (might have been Andy BB?)

    Coach was full and everyone had a great time :thumbup:

    What a lovely fella :)

    Hope he gets the commercial success and recognition his talent deserves :thumbsup:

    Knocks spots off most of the rubbish which they produce today, masquerading as music!
