Face screws up in a good way: Thank you baby - Soul Brothers Six

...whilst soul from the 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's might be good, rare, &/or danceable it ain't Northern Soul if it 'aint 60's.

So, forget your Voices of East Harlem, Carstairs, Charles Johnson, Lew Curton et al; good tunes no question but Northern Soul - no!

So... Soul/dance songs recorded in the 60s - including crossover & downbeat - and not discovered/unearthed/introduced until the 70s & 80s are NS? It's a shame a cultural distinction had to be made, I know at the time, I didn't mind the Londoners getting funky to 'pass the peas' by the J.Bs.

Loved the Blue Rooms used to get the train from Sale to picadilly and from picadilly to Stockport fell asleep many a time and woke in Stafford

The music was fresh and different I am sure Ian and Colin experimented a lot there . Dave Evison used to do a spot . A good sound system and a big mirror along the back wall , remember the poseurs dancing facing the mirror .

It was also bad when you stayed in the Club too long, and miss the last train from Picc' to Stockport - had to hang around until the early hours to catch a freight-train.

Got a lot of fond memories of the Blue Room - remember it seeming very posh to me at the time - well, compared to the Pendulum.

Leeds Central 72-73?. I knew a lot of the sounds before I went, so nothing stands out, except I do recall a D.J. playing: Do-it to-it - back to back - about 5 times! (Think he was trying to get it to 'Break' - as they say). Pissed everyone off.

Are there any Wheel people out there - that can tell me which year this event happen. Got it from a book but, no year given.

Detroit 1967 M-S records,#201 A side is ""Undercover" and B side is "Cover Up" Both credited to Joe Hunter. Not overly expensive but dosnt come up very often....there was one in sales but I think its now gone.

Brilliant Latin tinged instrumental that sounds a lot later than 67.

Theres a scan of it

Thanks for that - you've answered all my questions Got the tape from someone down in wolves - so I don't know if it was a Cat's sound or not. Cheers

You've got the name wrong - it's Bongalis

Cheers

Have had this tune on a cassette-tape since about '73? Credited as 'Undercover by Bogalis' But I've 'googled it' for more info - and had no results. Can anyone out-there enlighten me.
