Far from up my own arse, I was pointing out that you are, to put it mildly, clueless.
By using such examples to prove your extremely lame argument and in questioning my knowledge of Soul music because I happen to have a reasonable level of knowledge about other types of music proves this to me.
Ergo it wouldn't be difficult for me to have forgotten more than you know - since you clearly know, to put it in local parlance 'knob all'.
.
The three records you quoted as having a high content of 'Rock and Roll' are all 'Northern Soul' records, whether you can get your head around it or not.
None of them are played on the Rock and Roll scene - and why would they be? There are plenty of great Strollers, Jivers and Rockabilly tracks out there without the Rock and Roll scene having to resort to playing mid 60s Rhythm and Blues / Soul records... so R&R? Nah don't think so...
Seeing three members of the Masqueraders (a Soul group that last time i pulled one of their 45s off the shelves) sat enjoying the music in the R&B room at Prestatyn vindicated playing what i play for me (not that it needs vindication).
At the end of the day, any record that has been played and accepeted on any scene, becomes part of that scene.
So until you can come up with a stronger argument, I suggest you go on refosoul and find some better examples of Rock and Roll that is played in Northern Soul venues.
p.s. if there was no R&B (or Rock and Roll as you mistakenly call it) there would have been no Soul music - fact.
