Very sad news My first accounter to Dave Godin's writings was as a young 14 year old in mid 70s, then and later on his column was always the first "turn to", when think back have to say his writings were very influential. There are a couple of articles from the early 70s in the new and old articles sections. While they are event specfic, do have a large number of old b&s available and will be searching thorugh them later for ones that illustrates his passion and commitment both to the music and the artists, suggestions welcome Blackpool Mecca 1971

Following was posted up in motown legends news article in news/articles section - thought may be of interest, not sure how well known but so what. More of his bio can be found at soul weekenders site visit site and of course can catch him performing at the Motown Legends weekender Brief soundbite of Ritchie Pitts bio from site Born in Brooklyn N.Y. Richie's path to fame in the soul world started in the famous New York group The Velours who had several U.S. hits over the late 50's and mid '60's. they also recorded the sought after Northern Soul 45 "I'm gonna change" Around 1967 the Velours were invited to tour England. On arrival here they found they were being billed as The Fabulous Temptations ! However they carried on with the tour of emerging soul clubs like The Twisted Wheel in Manchester, Clouds in Derby and The Mojo in Sheffield where they went down a storm often doing 2 or 3 shows a night. It was at the Mojo where Richie met a young Pete Stringfellow who suggested the group change their name to The Fantastics. On their second tour of the U.K. they came back as The Fantastics and went down a storm and decided to stay !

think that matchs own current taking of it, but interesting that "modern" crew seem to be using it in a more wider way , and others using it for northern 70s think key word as Russ says is "personal definition" , same as all the other terms , "r &b" and even "northern" itself best way is sack em all and just make your own up imo Russ whats the story on Stan Martin-Big Mouth Woman seen it as lp track sound clip anyone

maybe not the greatest but sure sounds good here with volume at max nice shout lenny mike

said in earlier post thought Ian Cuncliffe and mucker had something to do with it, but of course could be confused does pop in here, will email

quite a buzz on Prince Paul earlier this year on M Little did hear that a well known dealer/dj sold a third copy to a Japanese collector , anyone confirm ? myself dont think flip's anywhere close to the main side , but thats just my ears

trev sounds like a broswer prob right click it and choose "save as" let us know if joy if not can do something else m

Last shout for this, ending soon due to fact names have to be in of winners, so if fancy a shot at grabbing a freebie weekend (see news for details of just what is on offer!) ....shoot away https://www.soul-source.co.uk/smart...m.php?itemid=92

Danny ta for suggestions there are "extras" that can add in future such as "rate" posts and even a "rate" members and stacks of others for now just looking at , getting current set up squared away, not so much a reward thing but just a visuall thing, not really that important , just some customising

yep Good topic starting Brett way "terms" get interperated does make me smile think to be fair way miff takes it is the most logical way - and if somehow were going to redifine all these defintions from afresh - would be the best one - though at moment as with most terms "logical" doen't play a part , and maybe not the right way for all - imo of course working on way I myself take it ( when the style changed late 60s) one track for me would have to be Jimmy Ellis- Happy to be -Century City

for now looks like going for something along lines of dealers descrips rough guide below Unknown Sleeper Tape Swapper Getting Plays Rarely Seen In-Demander Floorfiller Offers Not for sale any last min improvements? once sussed , if anyone who has suggested stuff can remind us in a month or two and someone else can have a go

just using multiquotes to sort this out

Dave check out that chav site mentioned on here then follow the link to chavtowns site and you will find a Chav review on Dudley

Comp up in news/article section due to the nearness of one of the prizes the closing date/time is 1400 hrs Friday 15 October so no pondering link here thanks to prize contributors and also Chalky and Janine for their help

Apoligies for more site admin stuff , but fairly important Know some have had problems with login After much digging and trying things have found out why 1. If a member had joined more than once with the same email address ( such as when forget password etc etc) When the recent upgrade was carried out This caused problems and turned accounts off or 2. Certain MAC Browser users couldn't log in - think this has been resolved as seems one who had probs managed to login Hopefully now know the reason for other can sort If are having any login problems - please get in touch with the "CONTACT" link at top of main page - and send user name and email want to use for account and can sort out this fault has caused a fair bit of hassle - but just in case anyone gets wrong idea Site has NEVER deleted any user account, have only suspended one person in all time running So if can't login ... get in touch Hopefully this has been resolved now ta mike

Be great if all ebay link sellers did this, always wary off following blind ebay links as once on there can end up spending both too much time and to much money plus as titles posted show in the site search engine could be good for the seller as could lead to more potenial bidders

yep hooked me there Christian though had to say it, you know how it is maybe its time has come , mucker picked up one recently, price 500 ish I think, insert green smiley mike

nah don't give levine any credit what so ever, it was already popular when he got it handed it him sure was a few comments on here when he tried to blag the credit for other djs efforts, Russ Vickers, Alex Jones , John Weston to name a few been pushing it out and think was Ian Cuncliffe and his mucker who responsible for it first showing up Great "smile on your face " record imo and that snake charmer intro slays me

yep could do the job, cheers kc been bit side tracked since posting, and as you say the current ones may sound bit off to some - will go for them unless a strong amount of support for any others by the time come back to this did want to try and get chav in somewhere though
