Merry Christmas!

I think I used to have it many years ago on Metrolina Soul. I'm Leaving You In Jody's Hand right? As for how many copies, phew...now that's a toughie......you got me there Next........

We'll let the thread run its course. No self promotion here......just felt it neccessary to point out that Stoke has a lot of youngsters attending. Hopefully you can make it up North sometime and see for yourself? Have a good one.

To Steve G- Not the Modern Soul DJ Andy Davies, but the former Jonathon Ross producer of the same name. To Russ Vickers. I enjoyed the 'younger point of view' from the 100 club regular, shame they didn't interview anyone similar from the Kings Hall Stoke, whereby around 200 at every niter must be under 30! The Eugene interview was indeed poignant, glad to be of help in making it happen. Upon reflection some 11 hours later, it was a super job by Radio 2. Pete Waterman turned out to be the right guy to narrate. IMHO At least they showcased how popular the scene really has become, as The Wheel, Blackpool Tower can testify.

Nev- Anything you need answering on Rare Soul or Soul PM me- will be happy to demonstrate some knowledge! Thought the show was pretty good. Well done Andy Davies. Glad everyone liked the Eugene talky bit.

Glad to see you bought the book. We are getting off topic........over and out.

People who bought Northern Soul records. As credible as Soul Source is, it's a minority. As a publication, it needed to be accurate, as in what the masses think, not die hard collectors. The truth does hurt, but why for sake of argument, pretend Jackie Wilson's I Don't Want to Lose You was bigger than Muriel Day? Clearly it wasn't and that what the book was about....popularity. If you frequented Soul nights that pull big numbers you would understand. Again, it's not my personal choice ala Muriel over Jackie, but then again DJ Genesis and RL Burnside are rubbish in my opinion.

Sad to say, even re-vamped today would probably only include 'Because Of You'. If it were me personally, add Who Who, Sweetest Feeling, Whispers, Don't Want to Lose You etc etc.......but it ain't. The book was based on DJ and fan response. Jackie amazingly didn't feature incredibly well. Crazy but true.

Well they wouldn't do. The chart was based on the most popular 500 floorfillers at 1999 when written. Jackie is one of the greatest ever, but it doesn't mean he should have 20+ entries. A Soul chart.....now that's a different story.

Really? Discounting Mel Britt, The Millionaires, Mamie Galore, Sandi Sheldon, Roy Hamilton, Herb Johnson, Len Jewell, Al Williams, The Trends, Eddie Foster and around 490 similar barring one or two. RL Burnside is better? Spare me!

Best mates? I run into him every 10 years From a 'keeping Northern Soul popular' perspective, PW and Elaine with her film project, can only be good.....can it not?

....it's awful. Who told you I like it. In fact I hate all 6 or 7? versions.

1. Holly St James 2. Larry Trider 3. Billy Arnell. As for the Charades- You Better Believe It, it's awesome! The slight problem with the single was in the mastering by Pickwick. They stereo enhanced it and ruined the pressing.
