Guest Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I am looking but I can't work out how to do that. Do you know what I have to do ??? Ian If you scroll down to the end of the thread on the left hand side you will see a box that says "moderation options" click on the arrow next to it and an option "close topic" will show just click on that.

Guest Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 On the bottom left hand of the thread there is a box that says moderation options. Click on that and one of the options is "close thread" Hope that helps Thankyou. Mike Hughes already did it before I had to, so it merely continues on here, although it makes me a bit sad that the number of views won't look as impressive. But I hope the old thread continues to be available to read, especially after so much work went into it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest HiTtHeBoNgO Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 We end the last thread with 2,984 posts on it, and 85,633 views. I would be very interested to find out if other Soul Source threads had ever reached that number, and if so in how much time ?? I wonder if we broke any records. this has to be the biggest online mass debate on a soul forum ever well done Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Phew who knows!! You have definitely put the cat amongst the Pigeons Ian!! I don't know why that happens. Some people just don't "get" me. I have tried to make a fair case to prove that a lot of my actions were motivated by the best intentions, but I was always aware that coming on here, where I had received the worst criticism in the past, was never going to be THAT easy.

Reg Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) I don't know why that happens. Some people just don't "get" me. I have tried to make a fair case to prove that a lot of my actions were motivated by the best intentions, but I was always aware that coming on here, where I had received the worst criticism in the past, was never going to be THAT easy. I think that most people on here are very fair. Apart from the odd loony on here it hasn't been that negative on the whole- even people that you've not seen eye to eye with in the past. And paul-s,however wierd he has seemed, only said all that because he thought you had upset his mate Joan (who is lovely by the way). So hopefully this new thread** will be nice and informative without too much bickering because lifes too short innit ** don't quote me though Edited September 6, 2008 by Reg Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

soulfulsaint Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Ok Ian, I don't think this was discussed on the previous thread. You have chosen the name Centre City Records, presumably after the business district in Philadelphia. Or maybe inspired by Fat Larry's Band? So which has been the city that has given you the most overall soul satisfaction as a fan, DJ and as a producer - Philadelphia, Detroit, Memphis, Washington? We all have our soft spots, and Detroit usually wins out but I'd welcome your opinion. And don't say Blackpool. Stuart Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Gene Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Took me till a second thread to catch up on all this! I will be getting a copy of the DVD when it comes out, as the reasoning behind it makes more sense now I have read about it. Reading the thread I was saddened to learn that Freddie Butler had passed away. On a record trip to Detroit in the early 90s (with Geoff W) we were introduced to Freddie by a scootering friend of mine. My friend worked in a hardware store, and Freddie was a plumber and used to come into the shop all the time. I think his business was Freddie & Sons. I still have his business card somewhere. Geoff and I had a great chat with him - he picked us up in Caddy and drove us around detroit. The DVD will be a great momento where I can say "I met that guy!" when his song comes on.

Thanks for the hard work Ian (and all the others who have worked on the project) Gene Freddy Butler was lovely. I know a lot of people we filmed did pass away. I guess it's inevitable when the songs are already forty five years old in some cases. I typed a list in part one of a lot of the ones who I know are gone. The problem is that some of the more obscure ones may have left us without any of us being aware. I only found out about Tommy Ridgley because someone took the trouble to phone me because he had asked them to. Are there any other sad losses I may not be aware of ?? These treasures are all in the box set, and all have since left us... The Carstairs, Erma Franklin, James Fountain, Tommy Ridgley, Emanuel Lasky, Freddy Butler. Joe Stubbs, Willie Hutch, Otis Leavill, Johnny Moore, two thirds of The Lovetones, ALL The Tempos, Doris Troy, Little Ann, Sam Ward, Saundra Edwards, Edwin Starr, Earl Van Dyke, Bobby Sheen, Jackie Day, C.P. Spencer, Walter lead singer of The Olympics, Bob Relf, Ray Pollard When you see the list like that, it's pretty damn sobering. Have I forgotten any ??

On a record trip to Detroit in the early 90s (with Geoff W) we were introduced to Freddie by a scootering friend of mine. Actually, Gene, that was you and me, not Geoff. Remember we ate breakfast with him at a diner and then sat in the back seat of his Cadillac while he sang his songs. I still have his business card "Fred and Sons Plumbing". Your scooter friend had a very cool early 1960's Lincoln with suicide doors that he was selling. And I remember him trying to think of Freddie's name. He said "some guy who recorded at Motown" was a regular customer of his. Butler something. And we went through the list... Billy? Jerry? Freddie? Yep, that's him...

Chris Palmer (went to New Orleans to work at a scooter shop later) was the one who knew Freddie. I forget the name of the guy with the suicide door car, he had a Carmen Ghia as well...but I might be wrong. Too much 2 stroke fume. Geoff and I met Gino Washington.

Sandy was the soul guru after you and his shop was full of soul as was his house on Lytham Road. Went there one day and it was rammed with un-played soul. Is Sandy/Freda still around?

That's the absolute finite definitive list, from out of my personal files. Motorcity folded up in 1992, after a DISASTROUS deal with Morgan Khan's new distribution company, which truly put the final nail in the Motorcity coffin.

Little-stevie Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Could Part Two beat it ????? Lets hope not Ian You got so many views because of the cat fights with other forum members.. If it was all nice and clean then you would still get plenty views but not the whole world looking to see if world war 3 was starting.. Don't worry, its not about how many views, its about the quality of the posts on each topic.. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Simon Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Lets hope not Ian You got so many views because of the cat fights with other forum members.. If it was all nice and clean then you would still get plenty views but not the whole world looking to see if world war 3 was starting.. Don't worry, its not about how many views, its about the quality of the posts on each topic.. I think the line under the main subject header says it all "Continuing on from the Sixty Pages in Part One." Come on Ian admit it you may have a little bit of an ego thing going on there!
