as you've a great memory for soul fashions can you remember the dragonette tops from 74? I had the short sleeve type with V neck which I bought in Leeds afer the Queens hall niter, theres a pic of a guy wearing the vest type on an early pic from the casino, a good guess is summer 74 as i think it appeared in the sept 1st anniversary advert in B&S.

Nah, but what you're saying is mostly true.Thing is its not just northern soul. Its the world we live in..too many cooks..once upon a time only the serious & dedicated usually succeeded now info & knowledge can be cherrry picked from the net.As Warhol said " Everyone will be famous for 15 mins.." Competition is intense, & of course the result is ..it gets diluted.Glad I enjoyed Northern in its heyday..or at least I thought so..72-75.

saw you are in Staines..I'm in datchet. Whats the lightwater do?
-
yep, also had it ..prob my first 'northern' LP before 'live @ torch/Ric Tic relics' DJ colonel custer who spun the sounds in the Maple room at Skegness around 72/74 always played every night to get the dance floor going.It was many peoples first intro to northern. I found another copy last year at boot sale v good nick, havent seen the one with purple sleeve before.

I'd be interested to see the skinners label, if you could send a pic..not many people seem to remember 'em. I recall the most popular colour was white, did they use other colours??
-
yes...I moved to mansfield briefly from Skegness around end '74. Worked at the Mansfield shoe corp. Used to go to the Swan..Derek Banner DJ'd I think..bought Manifesto off him for £3.50. Also did Syd Booths, guy called Phil Kingswood ran it..other faces were Sid, Yank,Marilyn...great time. What about Julian Jeloneks?????
-

back in 73/74 we had a shop in Skegness called 'Blue Serge'.We stocked the Frank Wright shoes & I had a pair of the blue/black with diagonal pattern, I called 'em diamonds & the name stuck. Anyone remember the 'dragonette' t shirts/vests from '74? don't suppose anyone has one, or a decent pic?

I saw said gold badge sometime around '74 prob at the queens hall..
-
thanks for this..i have a pendulum patch from way back & thought I'd embroider it to preserve the colour..got halfway & still never finished it...

I saw Mickie Champion about about 10 years ago at a small club in east LA. She didn't know her 45 was popular in UK.She could still sing well enough but must've been 65+ then, also told me that the recording session for 'what good' was from the late 50's, I always thought it has a rocking rythmn.She also said she only had a few maybe 3 recording sessions mainly for Modern records.
