Great thanx 45cellar!!!!!

Anybody????? I think Manship auctioned one last year????

Just wondered about the the first issue (MW3002) of this classic track?? What is the value & rarity of the Mowest 3002 Frankie Valli The Night????

What about crossover northern funk like this one by the Three Smoking Guns - Revenge ...Die Krähe sacht ...Ein bissel ''Herbst von Morgen'' muss sein dann ist Dein Herz voll Sonnenschein....

Good post mate !!!! Although over here in Germany pure soul nights are more popular then the ones that mix soul, ska, funk and reggae in one room. It really worked well in the early 80's and 90's to mix it all up but now only smaller events or two separate rooms playing either style will do alright in mixing it all up.

100 % with ya on that + people should also learn how to dance to Northern or at least give it o good try.

Hmm, from the hardcore collectors perspective it may depend on age and crate digging years to be able to find a few new personal soul gems again and again !!!! I believe finding new 4 beats 2 the bar monsters which float your boat is for many hardcore oldtimers a little on the thin side but I believe for a dancer of any age there are still quite a few left!!! Anyway it goes round in circles and in 20 years time most of the big soul brains will be replaced with fresh or medium fried soul brains so then many tunes will be new to quite a few soulies all over again !!!

You bought off the bay recently nicht wahr??? Nice rocksteady on the flip!!!

sorted

Yep top tune great price but saddly not played enough!!!

Ya bastards, my buying break will probably last for about 2 minutes after checking out all the tracks mentioned on here but hey!!!! The Inspirations Tell Daddy PKC .........Fantastic obscure blue-eyed horn-laden cover of Clarence Carter's 'Tell Daddy' !!!!! I played it out twice to some great reaction from the punters!! The Jade Siesta Is Over RDL ...........As mentioned before great latin mover and one of my current favourites!!!! Albert Esberido Roar Of The Crowd Tina....Faster then the Grand Prixs version and blimey it always makes me wanna dance !!! ............ Roy Roberts You Move Me HOF Jimmy Raye That'll Get It Moonshot These two have been choosen last year or the year before I think but everytime I played them out, the dance floor was rocking and I believe they will get even bigger this year!!!

Ah well I guess it was 2384 - Chuck Jackson - I Got The Need / Beautiful Woman - 1977

I am little braindead right know but Chuck Jackson's ''Beautiful Woman'' and ''I've got the need'' are original LP ONLY tracks but have been reissued as a 45 in the UK due to demand a little later right ?? Cheers

Well, the ''European Soul Scene`` started out from basically not much left over from whatever happened in the 60's regarding soul. The music itself and it's association to other scenes were Soul played in important part was the driving force for it to start off in the first place early 80's from basically nothing. So, from humble beginnings when Kent LP's were the order of the day you have now a fully fletched scene. So, you can start again or even just bubble along and end up with a striving scene once again in the UK!!!!! Point is the UK scene may gets a lot smaller but it will certainly stay for good!!! As for not many youngster getting into it....When I was living in London I went to quite a few Northern Nights/Allnighters with a younger crowd. The same applies to some other places like Manchester. Also, some parties play Northern mixed with other styles which are not attended by the older Northern Brigade. For instance I was putting on gigs in London 99-2005 with two bands playing live music and afterwards Dj's were playing a mix of Northern Soul Indie Ska Disco.....with only some Northern faces attending !!! Some of the new ``soulies`` started to get into it and I saw them down at the 100 club a few months later. Ok. they are not out in force yet but a younger Soul crowd does exist!!! Although some may not like it but artists like Amy W. certainly make the sound hip again even though most of the chart released tunes will not be played at soul nights. Point is the UK scene may gets a lot smaller but it will certainly stay for good with youngster not out in huge numbers but still around!!! Some big tickets will certainly drop a little in price sooner or later but there are lots of cheap goodies out there which youngster can affort to buy and they DO!!!!!! Vinyl sales are up in general and that means firstly your digital argument is slightly flawed as well as the fact that pressing plants can offer reasonable prices to press up vinyl. So, new releases can be played on vinyl like Cooking On Three Burners (This Girl) !!!! By the way I started off with bootlegs and reissues and slowly found my way to original vinyl only!!!! What encourage me as a youngster into Northern Soul was the music and the dancing and certainly not the price of a frigging record!!! Later on I started to collect originals but some of my mates were just listening and dancing their heads off and that's the way with most Soulies some collect and some don't bother. Btw. thank god we are a tiny minority in the music world and not frigging mainstream!!! I think a smaller scene will do the UK good so it can go back to basics playing unknowns + oldies on original vinyl for an up for it mixed crowd!!!! All the best and...........keep the faith

ups db post

Hmm, the UK scene will get a fair bit smaller but like in Europe that doesn't mean it ain't no good. There are plenty of Soul Nights, Allnighters & Weekenders in Germany and maybe its also time to travel again up and down the country for you guys in the UK to go ''soulin'' . Northern Soul started to get played in the early 80's in Germany but we still have a lot of youngsters getting into it right now. Also, it will always have that connection with Mods, Scooterboys and Skinheads over here therfore you will always have some youngster coming from that angle into the ''soul scene''. And I believe the same applies to the UK. More and more vinyl and even the big tickets get sold to collectors and djs outside the UK. Because in the end THE MUSIC IS JUST TO FRIGGING GREAT TO IGNORE !!!! While in the 80's and early 90's in Europe not many could for various reasons afford to play originals or weren't bothered, now many more promoters/Djs and punters prefer the original format to be played. Nevertheless we have also many pub nights were people play whatever format they like. I think you guys were spoiled rotten with so many great events over the years but now you get older you'll have venues closing down and obviously less and less people attending events. But there are a few youngsters around which of course do not by any means match the amount of people from the early days. The younger crowd can mainly be found in the bigger cities in the UK but some oldtimers with passion will always be around. So, the soul scene will always exist, maybe smaller but certainly all over the globe!!! Oh have I mentioned retro Soul in the charts....Sharon Jones, Raphael Saadiq....They are all great artists and have released their new output on............VINYL ....& getting younger folks into soul..... As for vinyl disappearing,.....it was deemed dead ages ago but now production is on the rise again and people not only prefer it for its nostalgic reasons but also for its durability, costs and sound qualitiy. ...books were deemed dead...cinemas were deemed dead when TV arrived... So let me say Soul and Vinyl is here to stay Keep The Faith
