Thats the first time i've seen that incredible reading.The scene must have been in real turmoil at the time.Thanks for posting Dave

First of all thanks to the many Likes tags against my first post.Always found Soul people to have big hearts and me and my daughter having our dance together must have stuck a nerve with you big tough Soulies.Some very uplifting Posts in this thread make inspirational reading.Despite less money of late i'm gonna really try to get to more nights next year.Life is too short and as i get older i'm reminded of a Logo on a Guy's Tea Shirt i saw a few years ago which simply said SO MUCH SOUL---SO LITTLE TIME .

To be honest my soul year this year has been very sparse. Lots of factors involving Family, Lack of Money,Change of job have all had a negative effect on my outings.Think a lot of Soulies are feeling the pinch big time at the moment,so if you have got spare money to buy vinyl and travel to lots of nighters then consider yourself lucky. But like you said need to look on the positive side,and i had one massive one this year which realy lifted my soul.My Daughter Jess is 15 now and has put up with my attempts to soulfully educate her all her young life. I have taught her about the artists,Old venues,taken her to record fairs,and taught her how to spot a bootleg as she grew up.During this time she promised me that one day she would share a space with her old man on the dancefloor,and i have always looked forward to that moment.Well this year my dream came true when My Wife and me took Our Jess to the Brid weekender,and the magical father daughter dance happened.A Guy sat nearby said to me at the time "I Bet Your Proud Of Her Mate" and GOD i was.Here We Both are At Brid

Hi Boba Well same as what i said in post 5 really

All Good Guys but can anyone tell me owt about the single i started the thread about GET RIGHT.Seems like its yet to have its day in the sun if anyone can get the oldies guys to dance to it that is.Its certainly got the Tempo and vocals, the breaks,and its not rare.

My Last Four recent buys. Freddie Scott---Uptempo stormer Barbara Lynn--R&B Classic Jackie Paine--Another absolute storming dancer Players---Forgotten Oldie see my other thread about this one

Thanks Steve i didn't get mine from you, but i did get something else from your excellent cheapies sales.Back to the Players does anyone know if it got a run of plays at any of the big venues,as D the D has already mentioned it was a Fave amoung the early Wheel crowd,Did it cross over to Wigan etc.Pretty sure it was in Nottingham when i last heard it in the late 80s,anyone else heard it out of late.

Yep Quality Northern Indeed Pete,and although it sounds fast and furious when you dance to it the tempo is actually spot on,although you may need to step off for a couple if youre like me to click the knee back into place

Tha Thanks Dave Didnt realise the Players was a popular tune on the early days of the scene,as i said i only heard it for the first time in the 80s.Maybe it got more action in other parts but i have not heard it played out since a real shame as its a Northern Soul Stormer.

Hi Guys Back in the late 80s i first heard THE PLAYERS--GET RIGHT--MINIT,i think at Notts Palais but cant remember who by.Loved the record from the first time i heard it,great tempo ,great group harmonies,and at the time i remember it got a good dancefloor reaction.Never heard it spun out since and i had forgotten all about it.Then while surfing through you tube i dropped on the record and was again smitten by it.Nice to find it was a reletively easy to find and not too expensive record so i bought myself a copy. What i would like to know is how much action did this have at any time and has it been reactivated by anyone of late.I for one would love to dance to it out again.Any Info People ? Patto

I use one of those wrap around padded comfort handles that you find on canvas tool bags.They wrap perfectly around the Swan Flight handle and fasten with the velcro strip. They just detach when you want to take it off.Makes the 200 box a lot easier to carry

Just been looking at a Dutch copy on Sean Chapman's Site may be worth checking out

Always loved the HONEY TOWNSEND--WORLD AGAIN Instumental much better than WHAT SHALL I DO In My Opinion.

Thanks Toad thats settled an argument i had with a couple of mates.Soulie was my all time fave dancer to watch and that dynamic photo captures Him perfectly.Brill CD as well all the Musicor stuff

Can anyone settle a question about the identity of the Dancer on the stunning photo from the cover of the KENTS MAGIC TOUCH CD.Taken at the 100 club by Elaine Constantine.Is it Mark SOULIE from Peterborough by any chance.

I prefere the Soultown release Dave,its still an original,its sound quality is better,its harder to find than the canterbury ones,and it looks fantastic too.judging by your playlist you have plenty of meat in your box.

Nice one Spot we are basically in the same O.V camp mate,its great talkin about records.By the way i own the New Younghearts and prefere it as the recording sounds more dynamic than the cantebury one and i think its a bit harder to find and i would never swap it for a canterbury one.I think a lot of DJs over the years have played this on the Canterbury lookalike boot

No spot i accept the IMPEL is the first release.But the Yellow Seventy Seven is still an Original national release so no problem playing it.I think in Daves set he also played The New younghearts on soultown which was released after the Canterbury ones but the soultown one is still an original is it not.Yes its great to own the first releases or Demos of any record but just thought maybee the same as Bridgey that Dave had no need to flag up his Ann Sexton because there is nowt wrong with it
