BBC 1 Omnibus 1978 Northern Soul Clip
soulman replied to Chris Turnbull's topic in All About the SOUL
Many years ago, back in the days of "video", I borrowed three different tapes from the BBC archives. There was a very strict policy and along with a small payment, you had to fill in a load of paperwork and guarantee the tapes return within the specified contract term. I still have copies of both paperwork and video's (which I wasn't supposed to copy... of course) but heaven knows where they are. I no longer have a working VCR so even if I found them I'd be stuffed. If however I do find them and someone can transfer them feel free to let me know. I've also got things "Chasing Rainbows" and many, many TV documentaries both from the TV companies and which I recorded from TV at the time. Steve -
Daily mirror article think was called dance baby dance
soulman replied to Speedlimit's topic in Northern Soul Days
If it's the same article it ran under the heading of "The John Travolta Of Wigan Casino" as it was published close to the release and success of Saturday Night Fever. Sandy Holt featured in it quite heavily from memory. Could someone raid the Mirror's archives as I'd love to see it again and yes, it was a double page spread Steve -
Unless you bought the cracked / broken / smashed one that was framed.... then again the frame was worth a tenner so I'll stop there

Yep.... takes you back a bit but it was a time for that sort of stuff and that time would have been Cleethorpes. It was played, it was danced to and for those two facts, it has become a Northern Soul record. Yep Joe 90 did it at Wigan, the kid shirt lifter band did it at Cleethorpes... not literally of course. That said Jimmy wasn't too many miles down the road!!!

I have to take issue with the signs on the stage. Surely they should be a little more specific... "No drinks, No talc and No dickheads on the dance floor". Just an observation of course for future health and safety reasons when the circus is in town.

BOOKS - 5 Soul or Scene related for sale
soulman replied to Simon T's topic in General Sales & Wants
Its not the most inspiring of books, but neither was "Motown by matrix" which Mr Appleyard took from me. I have both the cassette book and the cd book but alas have never looked at them. They are purely part of the book collection which is now bigger than the 45 collection lol. Anyway, save me that book and I'll get the dosh over to you. If I give you Dave's address maybe you could send direct to him Cheers Steve -

As nice as they look they are not 45 record cases. They are in fact vanity cases which will serve the purpose.
