Russoul1 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Louis paul was a nice new year bargain. Can't see the tropics end result?
Lionelonthevinyl Posted January 1 Posted January 1 A big thank you to Woody and Zanny for taking the time to post this up every week (I think others have helped to) I thank you all!!! And.....I very nearly had a pop at the Louis Paul, I love it!!! But as I don't really collect now I'm unsure of prices.....was this fairly good value at £514?? Thank you....Rob 1 minute ago, Russoul1 said: Louis paul was a nice new year bargain. Can't see the tropics end result? Sorry you posted as I was about to. 3

Peter99 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 (edited) Yep, big thanks to Zanetti and Steve for keeping Johnny's auction results coming our way. Must be Happy New Year - there have been no squabbles over the resulting prices ........................yet! Happy New Year everyone. Peter xx Edited January 4 by Peter99 2
Seano Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I always find John Manship's descriptions of the records and their history make fascinating reading, and the combination of final prices and when the auction took place strike me as lining up a series of books he could put out. Already written, just waiting to be compiled along with the scans of the records.

Yes but it's Johnny Manships perspective of history. I went to hundreds of allnighters/soul nights and John Manship was not there. He probably went to hundreds of events I didn't go to. So we will have a different view of how it was! I suppose any book is the authors perspective on how it was to them. A lot of interesting things left out that should be mentioned etc. That's why I have given up on buying books about the Northern Soul scene. My memories and any authors are often too different.

Spot on. I do enjoy reading his observations even though on occasions they differ vastly from my view for the very reason you have outlined. 1

Yes of course, very much his perspective, and as Solidsoul says, the same is true of the books already out there and no doubt those yet to come too. I'm fine with that, still enjoy reading them, and I do find the way Manship writes engaging. 1
Popular Post Chalky Posted January 5 Popular Post Posted January 5 I do like to read others perspective of their time on the scene. It can join a lot of dots from the times you/we missed if you like the history of the scene. 5
Wheelsville1 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I first started going to nighters properly in late 76 so i have gone through several eras of the scene.There is hardly a day goes by that wigan is not being talked about and yet in my opionion stafford dose not get any where near the recognition it deserves,this nighter brought a new genre of soul music of ballads and beat ballads to the scene,many coming from the belgian popcorn scene.Without stafford i think many of the slower songs that have now become classics would not have seen the light of day. 2
Davebanks Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Started my NS journey in 1969, built up a sizeable collection then sold it all up. To JM as it happens! Still collecting tracks but now in digital format. But for me the biggest change has been the internet. Any song is just a click away. A far cry from travelling the length of the country to hear a track just once. I enjoy JMs descriptions and usually there is a track new to me or a "b" side I forgot. It's all part of spreading the faith. Dave Banks 1

Even after Stafford the scene continued to evolve. Labels like tuska, the more gritty funky southern soul etc that maybe didn’t break through previously. the whole explosion of low rider sounds which was probably down to CD swaps and the use of the internet. 4 minutes ago, Davebanks said: Started my NS journey in 1969, built up a sizeable collection then sold it all up.

Whilst agreeing about Stafford the same could be said about Cleethorpes, St Ives, Yate, The Fleet, Clifton Hall etc. A lot of sounds from other venues pushed the scene into a fresh direction. 2

Low rider refers to.the modified car scene in South America where they alter the suspension so the car goes lower. The music is often slower or the b sides of songs known on northern scene There are a few documentaries on YouTube
