Algsoul

Nor is fcukin Duffy or DJ geneshit or Angie Stone . And just for the facts Northern Soul is term used . I've got oldies ,crossover rare and R+B but to me its good old soul music , some people need to get out more and broaden there minds

hard work this thread. my bag is northern, but like anything with a soulfull grove.

its whats in the grove that counts.

Question...

How new or old is the newest/oldest modern soul record and how old does it have to be before its an oldie?

I,like yourself Barney am an unashamed oldies lover.

I have tried to listen in the car and at home to newer stuff and the leseer underplayed stuff but it just doesn't fit the sound of the original oldie that gives me the hairs on the back of the neck feel.

I don't like jazz or stuff that has spiralling sounds or too much sax (there is some great sax sounds in oldies but not spiralling)

I do like old RnB.

Listen to whatever makes you happy, I do.

Also get sick of folks being slagged off for what they wear ...its up to them ...no one else.

Once upon a time what you wore was a statement and was an apsect of the music we followed .....as we get older we no longer have to "prove " we love the music by wearing "a uniform".

All personal choice these days, so enjoy your oldies and the answer to your question Barney... No You aren't a dinosaur

get on the dance floor, give it a go to all types of our music.

feels good.

Mario Bondi is in good hands it would seem and quite rightly so, so no worries there then.

I have been spinning this since 2004 (Was a Bee version) Purchaced from Crazy Beat Records.

I have also reserved a 7" demo but rest assured it will still be getting massive spins from me.

As for going Mainstream by being played by i assume Mainstream DJ's when were they ever responsible for making the music WE love Mainstream hits? The reason this record is being disscussed on here in the first place i believe is because it was heard played out at some of our soul venues and also at a weekender not mainstream radio, i would have thought Mainstream radio has had ample time to spin it by now what with all the different releases /mixes being made available over the last 4 years, obviously does not fit in their play list (Too good and not commercial drival)

When you go back a few years to the rare occasions that "Northern Soul" made the charts (Then removed because they were classed as reginal hits) They only charted because of being played on the "Northern Scene" NOT Mainstream radio.

When the Trammps made the charts with "Hold back the night" again The "Northern Soul" scene gave them a HIT record here in the UK and elsewhere too, more power to their elbow, this as Malc Burton will back me up has been disscussed on here many times befor.

just a thought. played was a bee myself at my club four years ago , got told whats this crap . now same folk asking for it . ?
