    Thanks Gene. Very sad to hear this. Really nice guy. RIP Toby.

    Is this Winston's mate, who used to go to The Dome, Scenesville, These Old Shoes and other London dos over 10 years ago?

    I think you’re about 10-15 years too late in posting that. There’s plenty of house DJ’s dj’ing from a USB stick that present new music and are creative. The format is irrelevant to that surely. In my opinion, it’s more difficult to become a very good DJ than it is to build arecord collection. Sure, you can pick up the basics quickly, but not become somebody who people enjoy listening to time after time. There’s plenty of people with good record collections on the northern soul scene that are quite boring DJ’s.

    Which Valarie Simpson track was it?

    Maurice White - RIP

    RIP Maurice. The brains and driving force behind one the greatest soul bands of all time. Excellent live performers too. I saw them at Wembley Arena in 1988. I can't seem to be able to embed the you tube clip but below is a link to "That's The Way Of The World" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vIIZydXDqg

    It must be the same Chris Brown. Excellent DJ

    After all that typing, you've added it to the wrong thread Russ

    I read in the Look In Your Box forum that Mario Biondi has had plays out recently at a northern do. FFS!

    What about that Bob Sinclar rubbish? It's always been a broad church, with the occasional novelty record making it. As the years go by and music gets more diverse, I guess it's inevitable that the boundaries get stretched. I'm all for it providing the records are of a high quality. Unfortunately, some of the popular tunes are not.

    No the press with the big hole credits LesMcCann on the flip Value is £5?

    Excellent. Thanks Dave. Bretby was the first allnighter I started going to north of London. I was still in my 20s at the time. I thought I wouldn't know a record and it would be all obscure independent releases. On my first visit there, I was pleasantly surprised to hear Ann Nesby, Mary J. Blige, Blackstreet, Incognito, Maxwell, Maze amongst a load of stuff I wasn't familiar with.

    Mine are in the garage and not difficult to get at. I'll try to take a look over the weekend. It may have got a mention but I don't recall any fanfare.

    Really? I was buying loads of LPs at the time and thought I had my finger on the pulse but don't recall this at all. I was buying Willie Clayton, Miles Jaye, By All Means, Regina Belle, David Peaston, Will Downing, Adeva, Alyson Williams, Tashan, Betty Wright, Chanelle, Maze, etc. There was loads of fantastic new releases to concentrate on. Mind you, I wasn't going out to dos. Being a young lad in Kent, there wasn't anything going on about from live shows in London.

    I had no idea. I haven't seen Paul for a while. What a wonderful thing to do. All the best to Paul!

    Terrible record. One of the worst ever to be played.
  16. Daved
    I do. Say It Isn't So is a mess imo. When I first heard it in the mid 80s I couldn't believe that it was big at Wigan. It just sounds like a very rough demo to me with no polish whatsoever.

    Wasn't London's Chosen Mass held at a place in Tooley Street for some time? Modern room on the ground level and northern room upstairs. Great do!

    I was under the impression from reading the Detroit 67 book that the term came from Berry Gordy's Soul label.

    RIP Nicholas. So may great songs. Just Get Better With Time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_39oqbamufU

    The Tom Moulton remix also appears on the Philly Regrooved 3 CD, running at 5.45 mins. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philly-Re-Grooved-Tom-Moulton-Remixes/dp/B00AR1VU06/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1452156748&sr=8-2&keywords=tom+moulton

    Thanks Chalky. Very enjoyable. If you're going to write a book then the controversy of The Rocket is probably worth a chapter on its own. It would also be interesting to get an indication of attendances at some of these places in order to get some perspective. FYI, just some corrections on names: Lin Taylor Jo Wallace Paul Thomas Peter
  22. Daved
    Agreed. Great chart and a great show. One of the few I listen to weekly.

    Soul Shine on Expansion is my favourite compo of the year. Not one bad track on it and the first 3 are excellent. I played this a lot over the summer. In fact all 3 Soul Togetherness releases this year were very good. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Soul-Shine-Various-Artists/dp/B010E92GXA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450427983&sr=8-1&keywords=soul+shine+cd

    There's a great clip at the beginning of Straight Outa Compton, where a very young Dr Dre is in his bedroom sifting through his LPs playing Roy Ayers "Everybody Loves The Sunshine".

    There was no Marvin release at the time. It first came out when the Let's Get It On Deluxe CD came out in around 2000. Not sure is there was a Deluxe LP too at the same time.
