As someone once said you beat me to the punch

Certainly went not just round the houses, but the whole ESTATE to get that on joan

Just out of intrest was there a more used backing track on the northern scene?

Thanks for apology kev but really not necessary any ideas on the above then

yeh think ken posted the talking version of the subway riders on media sixties sunday, must be one of the most used backing tracks on the scene was it?

Well that wraps that up then Thanks very much indeed, like i say i only know of the four, someone told me about the subway riders but couldn`t see it maybe heard the wrong press many thanks great info REGARDS HARRY

Was just thinking how many versions of MOONLIGHT MUSIC IN YOU are there i was told seven years ago, i can think of four do you know any more, heres mine- laura greene,frankie & the classicals {2] & the essex any more?

It has never happened to me but i do know promoters who tell there guests what to play, you have made a very good point here

Not being funny mate but wouldn`t these lvely records be better on sales section?

Suppose its up to promotors to do there homework and book the dj`s that they think is right for there venue, also knowing there crowd and knowing what they want, in my experience most of the people who want to hear different music are the sit down and listen type anyway, and at local venues giving everybody what they want has allways been the best way for me, nowadays at local soul nights there is a warming up period anyway before they venture onto the dancefloor wich gives the dj`s to play something different, or maybe its dutch courage

Bit of a double edged sword this one, as promoters do we not ask dj`s to guest to play there own style of music, of course i understand the view of dj`s are paid to entertain, but for me i allways reply when asked by guests what shall i play? just play your spot thats what i personally want from a guest dj, and leave it up to them to make there own decisions on what to play

Didn`t read this properly earlier bit woozy after weekend EDDIE PARKER-I`M GONE PAT LEWIS-NO ONE TO LOVE AL WILLIAMS-I AM NOTHING GWEN OWENS-WANTED & NEEDED CECIL WASHINGTON-I DON`T LIKE TO LOOSE THATS MY CONTRIBUTION GUESS WICH NIGHTER WAS MY FIRST

This one allways gives me goose bumps, EDDIE PARKER-I`M GONE absolute genius imho

Did this not come out on two labels? was it LINDEE & GAMMA? think one of them is canadian can`t remember wich one though

Not in any way an officianado of this music, its a part of the scene, sixties man myself, where as there was only one style of northern soul music, there are now many, and each to there own for me, it did take some getting used to in the late 70`s after richard did those amazing rare soul sixties sessions at the casino, uproar about sam, we just couldn`t see it happening, but it did! and hats off to those who took the flack and stuck to there guns,as i say not really my thing but its an intresting thread just for opinions

Don`t know wether this has been done before, was out last night and got into a discussion about this, it would be intresting to hear your views, although i suppose the birth of modern soul was at places like blackpool mecca,cleethorpes pier, wich dj`s do you consider to have started this movement, and wich records stand out to you as modern soul anthems. i`ll start you off with OTIS CLAY-THE ONLY WAY IS UP-ECHOE, not being a great fan of this genre of music, my knowledge is limited, but would be intresting to hear your views

My vote goes to the anderson brothers as well

yeh allthough i got all the big rca blacks pretty easy back then, this one on black was a toughie for some reason

Don`t you go beatin around the bush ken

Cheers chalky, sounds like incidental music from a fight scene off the old BATMAN, POWWW!!,SOCK!!!!!!!!!,THWACK!!!!!!! DON`T THINK I`LL BE BUYING THAT ONE,THOUGHT IT WAS SUMMAT DIFFERENT
