    Has Sharon Scott been tracked down? Is she still with us? What a fabulous tune CIBY is!

    Sounds as if he need a straightjacket more than anything else. What a f***ing loon!

    Pye International Disco Demand was well before This England, was it not? 1974 in my mind's eye. We were delivered Solid Soul Sensations from IL that same year, so it wasn't all shite by any means. From Human Jungle to Patti Jo. TSWONS.

    Don't think orthodoxy has actually been confirmed so far. From being secular, there are all sorts of directions he could have gone in. He could have turned to liberal progressive or reformed Judaism. He'll probably be mystified as to why people's interest in this question goes beyond his relatively brief though controversial tenure on the NSS.

    Papa Ooo Mow Mow was big though.

    As in Simone de Beauvoir? She was a rum 'un...

    Think he was on about stress but got waylaid by all the buckin' venom. In Spanish it's Simón, the stress falls on the second syllable as indicated by the accent absent from the French version. File under bollocks.

    Religious 'rebirth' can have an astonishing effect on the individual involved. They tend to throw out the old in order to bring in the new. If he is now Orthodox as opposed to lapsed, I imagine he will have atoned for his former sins and will consider the old Simone another person, a broken vessel that was simply waiting on his God's divine countenance to fill him up. As a result he'd probably say that Russ and Mike Post were in league with Lucifer on AOTR. Or probably not.

    One wouldn't associate that din with JBS and the Lovin' Spoonful either. I'm in shock.

    Sorry Simsy, replied to the wrong post. I meant to reply to post 92.

    The lead singer of Los Canarios Teddy Bautista became the president of the Spanish SGAE (General Society of Authors & Editors) a few years back. This is the outfit responsible for enforcing intellectual propery rights, collection of royalties etc, He was forced to resign amid allegations of massive corruption. On his bloody knees now...

    Think the bootlegging charge is one that can be levelled at a quite a few on this scene and they're still up to their tricks 40 years on, and probably more prolific than back in the day, what with Internet.

    Thanks, just looked at the other label design and it's on it! Doh!

    Which record company distributed Drew nationally?

    You never know what you're gonna wake up to, do you? Never got to meet Joe in person but his 'short shrift', don't mess with a yorkshire man humour had me laughing out loud many a time on here. RIP Joe and my thoughts to your family.

    Amazing how people have been paying up to a 1000US for G, G+, VG copies (Popsike)... That's a pretty shagged record, innit? How much for minter then?

    A mate of mine was pulled on the stairs up to the balcony and taken in. Winstanley just continually shoots holes in his feet. It's hilarious when you stop to think about it. Is he suggesting that the DS and Marshall-Walker had an unwritten rule not to bust anyone INSIDE the place?

    Could we really do without the shysters, gangsters, oddballs and generally frothing at the mouth, red eyes in the dark loons that populated the scene from the beginning? I don't think so. Anything else just smacks of revisionism. The name Simon Soussan was on the lips of so many people, clueful and clueless, in the 70s. Why would we have it any other way? I've loved reading these stories. It's a shame he can't found, debts pardoned and given a rafter shaking welcome at next years Prestatyn that this year chose to honour JA. Forgiveness is next to godliness. What?

    I was surprised to see Freddy Chavez being played that early on. I thought I was hearing it as newie in 76! No feckin' idea, obviously!

    It's not absolutely compulsory to even venture onto the dance floor. Plenty of people out there who've attended allniters for years without so much as stepping onto the boards. The scene is much more than just a a heavin' floor. I'd say I spent most of my formative years in record rooms/lounges, alcoves, balconies, stage wings, loos and corridors. If you're moved to dance, just do your own thing while respecting people's space around you. Agree with SteveG about supposed pecking order at Wigan. Front, back, left, right, half way up/down, certainly never felt inhibited when answering " the call"...

    Looks like you'll definitely get some takers then, mate! Good luck with that!

    Who are these nitwits forking out dosh like that? Had the Dushons for years and sold it about 5 years ago for £40.

    Not good news. Have to say he was the first artist associated with the Northern Soul Scene I saw perform live in my old home-town Peterborough, around 1975. The scene classics are part of our personal DNA, and The Right Track is right up there in the top ten as far as 'records that define the genre' are concerned. Other Billy Butler records I loved and still love are Help Yourself, Sweet Darling, I'll Bet You, Come On Over To My Side and the fabulous ballad I Don't Want To Lose You, which is total class. Hope he gets to read some of these tributes.

    These six for me pretty much summed up St. Ives in the summer of 1977 when it began to rival both Wigan and Cleethorpes. Fond memories and my favourite period on the scene 76-77.
