So thast makes Joe 90 NS then

Well it was actually classed as such at Wigan Casino, whether we like to remember this or not. And it did fill the floor, honest it did.

[Guest]

Thats it game over set and match. Mr Levine looses. YOUR SIMPLY WORKING FAIR ENOUGH. BUT AT LEAST FESS UP EH

Im sure anybody on this site cant find most of the 200 tracks your whittling on about, on limewire or other information sharing website.

Some of you DJs really are inward looking nearlys.

We were talking about videos not audios.

Please take the time and trouble to read what you're replying to.

[Guest]

And still no sign of Humility.

No 'fair enough - perhaps it was a bit harsh'

No 'I'm Sorry, if anyone may have been offended by my my likening posts on her to the perpetrators of the Holocaust'

Just empty threats from a bitter old Queen.

I'll be humble with people who deserve my respect.

But you'll have a bloody long wait.

[Guest]

Just being mischeivious, never went to wigan after 75 so I really did miss the disco "period" or maybe I just tried to blot it out like some bad childhood experience

Russ played and loved both The Carstairs and The Montclairs.

He even says so in SWONS.

If you like. Plenty of bad examples of what northern soul was or still is.

[pikeys dog]

I wasn't on about me, i was on about everyone else you've tarred with the Nazi brush.

Personally I couldn't give a fig what you think about me, but if you hate me, then i know I'm one of the good guys...

We are privileged to have witnessed the birth of a new musical genre this evening:

Records That Have The Appearance And Sound Of Northern Soul or

RTHTAASONS

in acronym.

Thankfully I was never at one of the nights when it was played, but it aint NS just cos it was played at wigan whether you like it or not. Unless the Soul Police (or Dave Rimmer ) would like to tell me different then I will bow to THEIR superior knowledge and rush out and find a copy to play at my birthday on the 30th .

It all depends on how open minded you are.

I post this now, at this point, after debating with myself whether I should or not, mainly because it will give the Levine-haters a whole new round of ammunition.

But I feel unrepentant tonight.

To be fair Ian, you do seem to be using this thread as a vehicle just to post clips of your "products" and not as a discussion forum. We all know about your latest stuff on you tube you don't have to keep posting clips of it, if we want to hear it we can find it ourselves for gods sake you've told us where to find it often enough.

Nice legs, shame about the Voice.

Oi Dutton.....stop thieving my post editing/hand job jokes....

[Guest Netspeaky]

Whether we like it or not Ian has and will always be part of this scene, like he's stated he DJ'd in some if not most of the hallow halls of northern soul fame, had his records played in them, and no doubt will continue to throw his ten pence in.

[Guest]

We all know about your latest stuff on you tube you don't have to keep posting clips of it, if we want to hear it we can find it ourselves for gods sake you've told us where to find it often enough.

I opened this thread to enable people who like my stuff to ask me questions and get sneak previews.

I'm keeping it to this thread.

No-one has to come in here and be exposed to such terrible things if they don't want to.

The thread clearly says 'Ian Levine".

It's my own little corner of Soul Source.

No-one's accidentally going to stumble in here if they want to discuss The Orwell, now are they ???

Plus it seems to be fascinating some people. It certainly seems to be the busiest thread right now.

If it gets shut down I shall be sad and regretful, but life goes on.

I hope Mike Hughes takes a view and sees it's attracting more people to Soul Source just to see what's being said.

I'm not going to tone it down, as I'm already being what is very reasonable for me, so either it continues, or it doesn't. Time will tell.

In the meantime I will be posting up videos on the Ian Levine thread as long as it still exists.

If it offends, please find the many thousands of other wonderful threads available for your delight and predilection here on Soul Source, and ignore this one.

You reviewing this song is rather akin to me reviewing Soul Sam's DJ set.

I DJ'd at the third ever Wigan allnighter in 1973. You're three years out.

Great clip of Bobby Hebb.

Love Love Love is my all time fave. I remember hearing that and Queen Of Fools, Too Late, Baby Boy etc at the Burnley Rose Room Tuesday night sessions from 71 to 72 when you came down with Tash and the team. Jebby was the DJ then.

[Guest sarahleen]

to think this all started with an advert for extras and has become an advert for ian levine, napolean coudnt have planned it better , egomania at its worse. my brain hurts.anyone for souled out film "trolls" ?

[Guest]

There's no point in answering people's comments on the thread about "Souled Out", as they risk being deleted, and I have no wish to type out comments that will be removed.

Mike asked those going off-topic to start a new thread, and so I have.

I will try to be at least more civil than I am on A.N.S., but I refuse to be castrated.

I will not post on the "Souled Out" thread unless it is to specifically comment on items relevant to the film, and my abject horror at the Soul Police dissing it before it's even been made.

I have opened this thread specifically to answer comments and fight back. I realise that if someone puts a nasty comment on one of my videos on YouTube I can be as rude as I like back to them and delete their comments, and block them from having any further access to my videos at all.

I have no such luxury here.

As I said, I shall try to be civil, certainly to most, but find it very hard to be civil to those few for whom I have ZERO respect.

A lot of the artists we know and love got work and and some a new start in their careers, thanks to people like Ian.

Look at your contributions to the scene over the last 35 years or so and see if you have put as much time an effort in.

I'll keep it brief mate, well done for all your hard work on such excellent projects as Motor City much loved by many.

Let the curtain go up.....

[Guest]

Should start a thread in media ian,it,s the place for the above.

No because I'm discussing all and sundry on this one thread - places I've DJ'd, records I've made, people I have fallen out with, people I care about, videos I've made, and my feelings about forty years of Northern Soul.

It's this or nothing.

[Guest sarahleen]

but at least youv stuck around to talk, fair play

[Guest]

Bollocks. I did as Mike asked and opened up a new thread to avoid my discussions on the thread about the film going off-topic.

Why are you here in this particular thread, as it clearly is of no interest to you ??

You made the effort to click into it, now didn't you, my little treasure elf ???
