I read an article years ago that back when groups were touring due to demand, if they advertised The Four Tops - it could be anyone (within reason) as it wasn’t the Org Four Tops 🤔

While going through the daily records for sale , I came across this track - thinking it maybe a different version of Mr Big Shot - deffo no - 1979 And by the sound of the record I would guess it was aimed at the 🤔 without wanting of offend anyone same gender couples - and the clubs at the time - jump in if you know the back story

double life Massive fast track I first heard around 76 - true white soul that has stood the test of time - Thanks for the memories Jerry 👍🏻 Wonder if he knew how big a hit he had on the NS scene back then 🤔

Mid 70ts at St Ives - deffo no diffent venue different time 🤔 don’t care I wouldn’t be there - knock yourself out

Ok 👍🏻

😂🤣

Mike - Any chance of putting a let’s see ref SS members votes with a few days to go Labour Conservatives Lib Dems Reform Greens

1962

No penalty - pulled shirt Only scored 5 goals in the last 7 years for Scotland - he would have bottled it anyway No shirt pulling - Ok I agree a penalty but he pulled the shirt coz he knew he wasn’t going to score , last min of the game panic 🤔🤔

Had a day at Port Sunlight - Liverpool south side - highly recommend it, people who live there are really friendly, one resident even showed us around there cottage - great history deffo worth a view.

Dutch fans gotta love em - I worked for a Dutch company for a few years, and whenever Holland play Germany the Dutch hold up banners with “Can we have our grandfathers bike back” as when the Germans retreated WWII they nicked all the bikes to pedal get back to Germany 😂🤣

Back in the 70ts there was oldies sounds and newie sounds or shufflers and I guess now looking back new old sounds being played for the first time - usually a DJ would put 3 or 4 newies sounds together - wasn’t about how old the record was it was about the sound Youve been gone to long Seven day lover Night of the Wolf Burning spear Visibly looking down at the floor of the Casino , when they changed the sound you could see people leave the dance floor as well as go onto the dance floor changed the tempo 🤔 yea right like we cared - wizzing our heads off

Bok to Bach was a Blackpool Mecca record so discovered after 73 🤔

Simon - I remember it taking the roof off the Casino from mid 70ts however a UK release in 68 it would have been smashed out at the Wheel / Torch / Va Vas and every single oldies night at all venues - great clapping bits to it, which you don’t hear as much now but hey - magic sound - I actually brought the demo from the Casino for £5 back in 76 however it’s got a chip out in the intro which is one of the major leads into a record - but apart from that plays great 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Honestly - Am not bothered, I think we’re over thinking this 🤔 as long as they keep off the dance floor with there drinks 🍺 am all good - I only go to oldies nights, so technically newcomers will hear the oldies for the first time - making the sound to them new 😂🤣 Imagine hearing Freddie Chavez for the first time 😳 I also don’t see that many people under 50 attending - who are really into NS, I see some people (usually in a group of 4) attending as most soul events are a safe environment, and you know what the music sounds a bit like Motown - they enjoy themselves and it’s there monthly date night out - all good 👍🏻

Just saw these in Camden Market £255 - mine cost £17 back in the day 🤔 Mine also had one of the pockets with elastic thread so if the DS pulled me - I had somewhere to tuck the wrap, out the way 😂🤣

Was it staged, contrived and multi-takes? Not staged but when they filmed all the lights came on which semi emptyed the floor - taking photos/ flash or lights on and filming, kinda put you in a whos that why are they filming paranoid feeling - mixed with amphetamine Some people might have attended because it was being filmed, but did others stay away because if it? I came up on a coach from Aldershot it left the roundabout club about 6 at night - the coach was as usal for an oldies night packed plus picked a couple more up at Birmingham Hilton - not once did I hear anyone mention that there was filming being done at the Casino that night And was the filming 'the beginning of the end' for want of a better expression The filming boosted the scene directly after - some people lasted some people liked the gear and some people wondered what it was all about and didn’t get it - end of the 70ts some strange sounds getting spun - Joe90 etc - However the casino died in 81 in a respective way - and those who went have memories that will last a life time - the good times and the bad 👍🏻

When people ask “What is Northern Soul” Freddie nails it in one song 🥲 Thanks for raising my heart beat in the sweat at the Casino, while dancing and grasping for air - Never to be forgotten - RIP
