Bill- The thread is getting off topic due to meladdo's ill informed and insulting comments. I suggest we cash out and walk the dogs or similar

I have indigestion with those comments....Thanks for insulting Andy D, Mick H, Sam and Ted.

Wishful thinking....You'll still find me at venues that are mainly full. Shame you don't like some of the Kings Hall DJ's Mick H, Andy Dyson, Soul Sam, Ginger Taylor and Ted Massey....they have some pretty dynamite rarities. Heard of them?

What a dick......Leave the scene if you were ever on it....AND QUICK!

Ludicrous really. It's only a 1975 US reissue too. And it only came out due to the success of the Black Magic release the same year. I left hundreds in new release warehouse that very year! Anyone who think it's some sort of original SELL NOW!

Surprisingly it wasn't. I met him in later 75 and then started trading with him. Disco Disc Forest Hills. Bobby Miller. Weirdly enough it's the same source that introduced me to Lloyd Michels.

You heard it at the Mecca most probably. It was me who supplied it to Ian L.

Steve- It was in the Va Vas ads. See my response to Ian D. But that was after the Torch had closed. I met Richard in the late Summer of 73 at Va Vas and heard it then. When I reccomended him to Russ, the Casino hired him in the Autumn of 73. Shawn R was one of his plays. By then, others had it and the track started to pick up pace.

Positive mate. I'm sure it was discovered around September of 73. Richard had it at VA Vas before he worked at Wigan. I have a feeling Ian L also had it at the Mecca around the same time. Deffo not Torch though.

Very accurate indeed.

Sorry Ian No way. Shawn Robinson was never played at the Torch.

As previously stated on another thread, so many classy traditional Northern unknowns failed due to the Javells, Gary Lewis influence, which dancers lapped up. Remember the venue was the largest ever seen for a regular niter. To see Goodbye Nothing To Say rocking the aisles, it seriously hampered the progress of many in 1974. Plus of course the Mecca was changing too. Lots of new sounds were filtering through to the Casino. All of a sudden there would be musical casualties. Still many came back to get recognition as the scene evolved. The scene in my opinion is no different today Sure you don't hear anything as a crass as Brian Hyland's Joker Went Wild, but Pow Wow, Tribute are two examples of floor fillers while the poor Inticers is still suffering from lack of interest apart from collectors.

Chalks- The Seven Souls was played twice in March 74 at the Casino only. It bombed out so I promptly sold it for £6 to one of the Coke bar hounds(Dewhirst, Withers,Shard) If it was you step forward. As far as I'm concerned, I discovered it at Ray Avery's Rare Records, Glendale, CA that same month.

Ha! IPhone 5 predictive text eh! Thank heavens the F wasn't included instead. Heeeeee

There's plenty I haven't listed, but thanks for the Thelma reminder. Both sides superb. As I stated before, the Casino really had its own top notch discoveries in its first year. As a DJ though, it all got messy with the Javells etc suddenly exploding around our ears, while the Mecca ploughed their own furrow with Cochise, Bobby Franklin, RB Freeman etc. Either way, the likes of the Inticers, Internationl GTO's, Vernon Greene and others simply suffered 'bad timing'........

March 1974 was a critical turn musically for the Casino. Many of the really good soul records like Vernon Greene, Seven Souls, Ernie Marbray, Eugene Jefferson got canned pretty quickly due to appetite for The Javells, Gary Lewis, Keith etc that were reaking out at the same time.

It is doing.....The Parliaments-This Is My Rainy Day is a perfect example of an underground rarity that the Kings Hall Stoke said YES PLEASE! Well done Mick H and company.

Of course not....Ozz like the rest of us would not go near even OTIS REDDING singing a song called Northern Soul nevermind Judy Street Now stop mucking about yer wind up merchant

What I was trying to say is, venues such as Lifeline, 100 Club plough their own furrow and are not answering to anyone. They passionately promote new undiscovered and underplayed sides they believe the audience will like. Unlike the early to mid 70's whereby there was pretty much only one scene, some of the tracks these guys are playing filter into the larger arenas and become anthems. Perfect all round. A pat on the back for the DJ's who got em started but also one for the jocks who recognised the potential and ran with them hopefully turning em into real monsters.

H B Barnum. Producer of many classic Northern.

Mace-- Ha Ha! Who honestly outside of Butlins would hire Judy Street to sing a self penned song called Northern Soul? She was a perfect act for that venue to enjoy the anthem What and that's it. She clearly had an agenda and that's why she's been trying to work everywhere else since- except for us. She misjudged how far she could go and got it badly wrong. Only the technician knew she had two tracks on her cd. Both Richard and I were not impressed. Now with my defensive hat on, should we now talk about the acts I have found and promoted live in recent times. Alexander Patton, The Del Larks, Epitome of Sound, Barbara Lynn, William Bell, Spellbinders, Joanne Garrett, Freddie Hughes, Frank Wilson, The Poindexter Bros, The Tymes ........and not a song about Northern Soul in sight.

Probably at Blackpool Tower. She certainly wasn't booked to sing anything except 'What' just before the Dance Final. You can imagine the shock when she announced the performing of a new song titled 'Northern Soul' eeekkkk!
