Northern Soul Uk

I remember the 'Metro' being in existence but I don't remember ever going. The only places around that time I can remember in Wakey was 'Intercon, Raquels, Locarno (Mecca) on the site where the Ridings is now and a bit later on I think 'Unity hall'

Can't believe I just found these after all these years. An original 'Central' membership card, but what makes it special is that I had it signed on the back by no other than 'Gladys Knight and the pips' when I went to see them at Sheffield theatre club in the 70s. Also found my Cleethorpes card and a Torch flyer.

To be honest, $12 is pretty good for a 12" album from the states, a lot charge more than that for a 7".

No I know, I think there are 2 albums and it's no on any of them. There are some excellent tracks on the albums mind, including a version of Gladys Knight's - Just walk in my shoes.

Just thought I'd start a thread on the Northern tunes that have been played on TV programmes. I know a lot are used on ad's, but it's actual programmes, soaps etc. that I'm aiming at. My first memory was in the late 70s early 80s on Coronation street, one of the cast was in her bedroom (I think a Barlow relative) and she was playing 'Marvin Gaye - Little darling' while she was getting ready to go out. Any more examples?

Cheers for that matey

Can someone give me an idea of what I should be paying for a VG+ copy of this on 'Vent'? Thanks

Done!

LOL!! tooooo much information! Thanks all the same

If i told you I'd have to kill you!

Think he's beyond that mate!

Here is the only reference that I can find for the name, any scientists out there?

Just checked on Google as you suggested and apparently no meaning? Not even as an acronym. Must have been something that Luthor or Richard made up. Top word though, should have a meaning really.

For some strange reason, the title always reminds me of Space? Maybe because of 'Star Trek'? Dunno! I'd love to know that 'Exus' means though.

Heheh!! Love your comments, and I agree with them all. Being into the scene from the late 60s, the instrumental was the first version I heard, and loved it then, and still do. I love the vocal version too, but was never as keen on it as the instrumental, but only because the instrumental was by the time the vocal showed it's face, already a classic and was known and loved by most. Both instrumental and vocal versions have an amazing feel and atmosphere about them and are both true Northern Soul records as they should be. But on to the version above, Yes Grant, you were partly right. This is a fusion of both versions, but not done on 'Cool aid'? Never heard of that one. It's just something I love doing in my spare time. I love to hear the conversations they spark off, they are always very interesting. Thanks for the comments good and bad. Steve

Has anyone mentioned the following? Four Tops - To care (original version, not remixed) The Spinners - What more can a boy ask for Both album only tracks until remixed or booted.
