Those of us of a certain vintage (old), will have been highly influenced by Motown Chartbusters, especially 3 and This is Soul........ then you go to a party, and somebody slips on This is Sue. Now that was a bit of an eyeopener to a 14 year old ragarse from Salford.......... Tony

Whilst ageeing that the marketing angle of these "retro" shirts is flawed, I woukld disagree with what you wear has nowt to do with the music. I would say that from the 50's with the Teds, through the Mods, Rockers , Skins, Suedes, Greasers, Hippies, Punks, New Romantics etc the fashion you wore came-Mostly, from the type of music you were into. And, in almost every case, the look came from the streets and the clubs found it's way into the mainstream and was watered down for the plastic wannabees. Or has my memory gone again?? Tony

" Ain't No Mountain High Enough" To chuck the feckin' thing off. Tony

The, err, ahem "Discreet Northern Fist" had me a bit worried Tony

Be interested to see that if you get one, only ever seen the boot. ATB Tony

With "Behave Yourself" being a cracker in it's own right Tony

It's incredible that some of this stuff got out. FFS how does Soul Self Satisfaction get a Lebanese issue ???? Tony

Well, it'd be rude not to. Tony

Doubt they would have had the same success without the Motown Machine behind them, and, didn't Berry offer Joe a better deal ?? Tony

Not strictly Soul but well worth a look would be "Grace of The Heart"(I think). Based on the story of Carole King, Tony

I could be wrong (it has happened ) But I seem to recall that the Now Sounds and the Don release are slightly different takes. Tony

You appear to be correct Just picked one up Tony

Loved The Five Heartbeats Tony

Obvious really, when you think about it. Tony

Not only one the greatest instrumentals, but one of the greatest NORTHERN SOUL records of all time, one of the reasons I was blown away the music when I first entered The Pendulum in '72. ATB Tony

Well, that's different. What's the story ?? Tony

was the Rhino called Neal by any chance ?? Tony

Just the one ?? Jimmy Burns- I really love you ATB Tony
