Great guy, fab shows & always very helpful when I was looking for obscure little gems !!! I think his shows were very inspirational for many many people !!!! RIP !!!

and dance & enjoy life to the full !!!! btw fab post !!!

Mike & Dave can you please stay with the topic

...so now in 2014 what underplayed or fairly unknown tunes hit the right spot on the dance floor at your favourite soul club and are local dancefloor favourites or even national soul monsters ?????

Jack Montgomery Don't Turn Your Back On Me summer/spring allnighter season: Fat Jack Band Hey It's Summer autumn/ winter allnighter season: Felice Tayler It May Be Winter Outside Billy Sha Rae I'm gone

I am amazed how many big rare tunes are still to be found in the US... over the last two years many big tunes were on sale either private or on ebay... ....and now one of my alltime faves is on ebay...Don Gardner Cheating Kind... maybe one day I'll own it

fab mix of sounds !!!!!

some great tracks so far I would also include Charlene & The Soul Serenaders Can You Win From my experience his track is even very appreciated by a more oldies orientated crowd. I am sure this would go down well at events like Stoke

The next one is shapping up nicely with another top dj line up... Marc Forrest + The Jan and myself playing some old mucker soul

I've just watched it and altough there is a little cheese on top I was expecting a P.O.G.'s alike avalanche of piss taking and a mind numbing baggies & circle skirt bonanza....but it wasn't. Ok there are bits & bobs which are a little naff but that's media for ya....''the presenter saying ...ya have got your costumes on...'' does show the ''funny'' side of the scene which is not really my cup of tea but hey.... Overall it was trying to give a little background information about Northern Soul and push the film which somehow has big distribution problems to get the frigging thing in the cinemas !! The last bit where a youngish crowd dressed rather mixed in casual, mod and some baggies... smiling, dancing to a track outside the top 500 and having a laugh, did present a rather toooo rosy picture of northern soul... if ya mix a few more old misable farts asking for the top 500, some pc only warriers, an armada of over over 50`s patched up in circle skirts & baggies and the odd chin stroker ya get the right picture. What would have been fab, if the guy with the red hat on who was dancing and jumping up and down behind the presenters and young Dave at the end, would have come into the frame smiling like mad and saying the drugs were frigging great... Imagine being an old school skinhead and having to endure some proper false media crab for over 40 years.... there is something to moan about if you are into it This feature is by no means great but imho not as bad as I have envisaged it after reading some comments on here..... Anyway lets go back to a proper ovo debate

Can someone please load up a video on youtube or whatever so that we can watch it in europe

bloody hell about a million people reading this topic right now ... anyway can someone record it for folks living outside the UK please

sorted thanks

Buddy Ace - Pleasing You please pm

They will crop up from time to time as they always have done !!! Some collectors will sell up or just sell some big tunes in the need for a few extra bob for a stair lift. The odd collector may speculate for another influx of punters within the next couple of years but if this doesn't happen prices will drop slowly.

just for a bit of fun.... can you please put all off topic posts in one topic called ''Computer Says No'' ??? I think that would make a jolly good read and may lighten up some people !! You never know, it may be of great use for some social study on internet forum activities btw thanks for ya great work !! !

Try your local funk, hip hop, soul, rnb record shop that sells a lot of new vinyl !! I have bought one in Berlin two weeks ago !!! They are probably not aware that it sold out & gone up in value I think it will remain at around 25 pounds or even go up in value !!!

Thanx for the playlist, fab fab tunes !!!! It's always so nice to have you & Peter at the Motte Allnighter !!! It's so nice to have you party animals around although Peter was trying to trip me up the cheeky sod ....but the revenge was sweet with a gentle notch to his leg with me crutches while he was having a beer I am getting better but I guess there is no soulin around for me this weekend I am watching many documentaries at the moment & I guess by the end of next week I am doing my phd
