Guest Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 I`m a simple country boy so can someone explain the meaning of term popcorn which has been added to the northern soul classification by this seller. Is it an american thing or has another category of music on this scene passed me by.

Frequently used to describe any crap corny pop record that has nothing whatsoever to do with Northern Soul, but inexplicably gets played anyway. Edited February 3, 2005 by Trevski

Shane link Nah, Wade Flemons was played at least as far back as '89 if not more. When popcorn was only something you heard rustling behind you in the cinema!
Gasher Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Speaking of cinema popcorn Is it only me who buys the big bucket makes a hole in the bottom to stick my tackle through and encourages my girlfriend to help herself?? Great fun when it gets near the bottom the gasher
pikeys dog Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Nah, Wade Flemons was played at least as far back as '89 if not more. link I don't know alot about the Popcorn scene, except that it is a Dance Scene founded on the mid-tempo side of things. Was played and Booted on the Belgian Popcorn scene in the mid-seventies.... As were loads of Okeh label releases. Tangiers - Let My Heart And Soul Be Free was also much in demand there in the 1970s. or how about: Betty O'Brien - She'll Be Gone - Liberty (This got a Belgian Boot) Popcorn is like Northern in the fact that whilst there are some absolutely storming records, there is also a fair amount of shite played. Making sweeping statements about any musical genre / style only means you end up missing out on the cream. I'm sure Miss Popcorn could name quite a few tracks that were played out oldies on the Popcorn Scene well before Northern Venues picked up on them. WOOF!

Shane link There has been some great popcorn find over the years which have crept onto the soul scene - it's all relative at the end of the day - One of the best records I own is Kylo Turner - I'll keep thinking of you - sar which was and still is a massive popcorn sound
