Have been passed on news and a request for images regarding a planned book to tie in with the launch of the film Northern Soul While its tied in to the film launch, I've been told that this is going to be a 'loose' tie in and that the end result should be more than the run of the mill type movie tie in publications Here's the call.... CALLING FOR IMAGE SUBMISSIONS. To mark the launch of Northern Soul the film we will be releasing a book, which we are starting to work on now. The book will feature Northern Soul memories from the people that made it happen, along with a lovingly written study of the scene so far, original photography from the film and your personal photos from back in the day. This project has real lifelong soul fans and active scene members at the helm, so rest assured it will be an excellent compliment to the film and a worthwhile study of our beloved scene in it's own right. We'd love to include your memories, so if you would like the opportunity to see your photographs included in the final book, please send scans of your photos and any associated memorabilia (flyers, membership cards or patches) for consideration to the website below. http://northernsoulthefilm.com/sponsor Please be aware we require images to be scanned at 300 dpi and no larger than 2mb. We look forward to seeing your memories.

Last few copies available! Order Teena Marie’s astonishing final album from Universal Music’s online store and get a free John Morales red flexidisc featuring a re-edit of Teena’s all-time groove classic ‘I Need Your Lovin’’. http://bit.ly/tM_u soundcloud clip... Album Info Before her untimely death at the age of 54, Teena Marie wrote, produced, arranged and sang on 13 albums that have sold millions. Starting with her 1979, Rick James-produced debut, ‘Wild and Peaceful’, Teena’s many disco, soul and R&B hits have included ‘Give It To Me Baby’, ‘Behind The Groove’, ‘I Need Your Lovin’’ and ‘Ooo La La La’ - the latter being sampled, famously, by The Fugees. Teena Marie had been working on her 14th studio album at her Pasadena home studio when she passed away. ‘Beautiful’ was seen through to its conclusion by her 20-year-old daughter, Alia Rose. The first single, ‘Luv is a glorious homage to Tee’s Motown roots, with nods to Stevie Wonder’s ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours’. We’re sure the album is up there with the best from a glittering career and one that Alisa Rose has made sure does full justice to her mother’s legacy.

Soul History On The Wall - Art Of Soul Legends Authentic Memorabilia. The Northern Soul scene is so rich in history being the Daddy of club culture, collecting obscure Black American Soul records is a passion for pretty much everybody who is bitten by the bug, along the way we meet our heroes either when they venture to the UK to perform or by a trip over the pond to track them down, meeting these people is another level of the passion and to get an Album, 45, or photograph signed is a very special moment, over the years I have picked up lots of autographs many special and dear to me being personally dedicated which take pride of place framed and glazed on the walls. There of course is a huge amount of memorabilia connected with the Soul scene from Magazines, posters, flyers, badges, specialist limited edition prints, clocks, mugs, posters, coasters and pretty much anything that the Northern Soul logo can go on which is fine but is it true authentic memorabilia? Art Of Soul Legends has been born out of my passion for collecting Soul related autographs, my Pride And Joy Is a Marvin Gaye which I got in the States over twenty years ago, Smokey Robinson, Bettye Lavette, Bobby Bland, Popcorn Wylie, Lavern Baker, Edwin Starr and numerous others pretty much cover the walls in my flat. I've been asked so many times will you sell any of them Mark? they look great, I want one etc. with this in mind I have taken the next step and already interest has been awesome, all items are first generation original signatures presented in quality Black Frames average size being 20" X 16" with White mounts and others are fully double mounted and simply look stunning and would take pride of place in and rare soul collectors record room or soul fans home. General autographs from the movie,sport and pop world is big business but there is no specialist supply of Soul related items until now, this is I hope an introduction to Art Of Soul Legends memorabilia Coming soon - Eddie Floyd, Lavern Baker, Martha Reeves, Chuck Jackson, Edward Hamilton, Chubby Checker, Little Anthony, Jimmy Ruffin and others, all framed and glazed, prices are reasonable and within line with other autographs currently on the market. Wanted signed Albums, 45's, photographs, autograph pages on artists like Jackie Wilson, Major Lance, Temptations, Four Tops, Motown Acts and Northern Soul related.
