Soulsmith

I remember him originally being almost a champion of the NS scene. But he was seduced by the emerging Jazz Funk scene. From then on he wrote sometimes in a disparaging way about our beloved scene. As far as I was concerned he was batting for the opposition. But I think he did later write a column apologising for his lack of faith. Which sort of makes it ok Col.

Have sent PM

Anything by either Florence Devore or the The Cap-itals?

Or look on Or look on https://members.ebay.co.uk/aboutme/a.daley/. A Daley........Arthur Daley?.......very good

What are you recommending?

You've obviously never heard me moan. If I was ever employed by the Samiratans people would be jumping off buildings left, right & centre. Contrary to your beliefs, "all I want is not here" The first link I get is - The website's certificate was signed by an unknown certifying authority. You might be connecting to a website that is pretending to be "www.yousendit.com" which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to continue anyway? The second link downloads a file "VSRS196.rm" that my comp can't open

"Top of the World drew small crowds by Wigan Casino standards, and it eschewed the 'pop' northern soul " I never went..did it?

Beats me! 50 dollars for a press? I picked up 100 club orig for just slightly more last year. Some people......

Cheers Ian, but I just wouldn't. Sometimes you just have to draw a line. Regret not available to Mac listeners.

Is that it then? I'm consigned to listening to Chic's "Good Times" ad infinitum.

Currently grinding my way through the day listening to 'Virgin Radio Groove' Its an OK station, but if I had to sum it up in word it would be 'Shalimar' Any soul Internet Radio stations you recommend Mon - Friday 9-5pm? Cheers Col.

Lenny Williams - 10 Ways Of Loving You (but there's only 8)

I think its a money belt. Sounds more interesting than it is.

Missed the JTs thread. I've got a Willie and the Mighty Magnificents LP that i could let go. Which one does he need? Col.

Heres another idea for James Coit I really can't stress how friggin' easy this is. Set oven temperature of 200F. Put a bowl upside-down on a cookie sheet, whack the record on top, and set it in the oven for about five minutes. Pull it out (use a hotpad or you'll burn yourself!), whip off the flimsy record, and shove it down inside another bowl to mold it. They don't give off toxic fumes or anything, and they don't get melty enough that you see fingerprints. You've only got a few seconds to work with it though, so be quick. I think I'm going to glue some marbles to the bottom to act as legs and use a piece of tape to cover up the hole. Voila! Ultra trendy potato chip bowls

You only get out of something what you contribute to it. Ask yourself what you contribute? If its not much start some interesting threads. Col.

Morning Pete Won't add to the debate 'cos its pretty much all been said. But you tag 'inner calm'......is that some sort of personal challenge? Col.

Nice selection Pete The first track is almost there, vocal delivery not right for these ears. They should have got Monique to record it

Great clip, loved the energy. Cheers for sticking it up. But as a record I'd say it was closer to rock n roll than soul.

Now that was amusing.

Luxury. You lucky git, all we had where 'tracker' bikes made from spare parts at the dump & knocked out by some geezer called Stig.

Southerners experiences ref late 70s all niters are very different to northerners as you can see in Moniques comments. A saturday all nighter at Wigan often involved writing off the best part of 48 hours. Not that I have too many regrets......

I can see the logic in that.

Yeah good reply. But I now know that there are quite a few lamp lovers out there Check out this site. https://www.cafepress.com/kadesigns/893774 Col
