Most of Atlantics were burnt in a fire. There are odd Chess tracks here and there like Kent's alternative version of Terry Callier 'Look At Me Now' but no specific reissue programme that I know of.

I'm sure being a tight Yorkshireman must help too! That's what I get told anyway.

Wotcher Swish, Chas makes it to the Cleethorpes weekender every year and i still see Jumbo and others occasionally. Love from the Harboro' Lot Ady

Ted Taylor was Roger Stewart at the 100 Club via Pete Wid, i think they were responsible for Esther Phillips Just Say goodbye. Have we had the Antellects, Annabel Fox Johnny Maestro Kurt Harris Platters Not My Girl Sensations Demanding Man Hytones both Good News and Runaway Girl?

8 Days a Week is brilliant. Funkier fans go for Taxman.

100 Club first of course!

Whoops, that's slightly bolloxed my sleevenotes. At least they were half right. i thought 40 nights was the side to be spun early. was yours just at local dos or big uns?

It's a 100 Club tune, you'd better give it me back!

He did and was quite a celebrity on the Beatles collectors circuit. He wrote a book on it. No other Northern suggestions? Got To Get You Into My Life is the most obvious one, Day Tripper heads that way a bit, Otis liked it. george harrison was a big soul fan and thanked Dave godin backstage at RSG for all his hard work for the cause.

Never mind that, whaddabout best Beatles dancers. I'll open with Good Morning, Good Morning from Sgt Peppers, even the animal noises can't ruin it.

Yes master tape from Eddie, thanks to my dear friend and fellow Soul Saucer, Ian Levine introducing us. Did I give Butch an acetate then. Andy Rix tracked down the Prophets and I think eventually got one out of them. wasn't that the one that arrived in 8 pieces as he'd just put it in an envelope? Another playable one turned up later. Presumably Antellects and Primers have been mentioned. What about Herman Lewis or that one on Lime. I don't think records like Garland's Ain't That good Enough or Girl I Love You got played until the 80s. john Edwards versions of Ain't That and How Can I Go On Without You certainly didn't. Howabout Jimmy Andrews Big City Playboy, shed loads of RCAs and Scepter/Wand and 1,00 big beat ballads. not to mention the Latin slot!

I wouldn't I'd say more like £11.

Yes to the clapped out scooter, i had it for about three months. No to the parka, gimme a break. Don't forget Nick Washer who turned up loads, some of which went through Mike Ritson and a little bit later came Clarkie who was major.

Actually I really like it and it could have quite easily been played at our early 6TS nights, i wonder if Tony concurs?

And associating it with me when I've never heard it.

As I said Soul Of The North was an article heading not a description of a type of music, that came later as Northern Soul which he had been using for some time. Sorry to be pedantic.

As Andy or someone else said, its random and for you to sneer at my listening to it when I've never even heard it, then I like to point that out. I will now listen to it and give you my view, but please don't think that every record I listen to is the epitome of my Northern Soul taste.

I'm pleased you know more about my own life than I do. I could have sworn I worked there 1973-74 when I went on my US trip and lost my job when i came back. Now you've corrected me on my life, I must be 54 instead of 56, and it must be the 6TS 27th anniversary this year. At least I'll be able to have another Kent's 25th celebration next year now!

Don't forget to mention t'Undred Club if he wants to know where Londoners can hear some of it. X

What is it with these DJs?

OK, I've scanned most of it now. Can't we all just agree that he discovered everything and start another topic?

Tony could use the LWJ story, but perhaps not if it's too scandalous.

Thanks, so I listen to a Dore track I don't know for research, as we own the label, and he assumes it's the sort of soul i like and somehow reflects on my taste! That follows. I think the thread was on to Shrine at this stage so it makes even less sense.

This is so bloody tiresome, I'm trying to finish off my Garland Green comp and i have to trawl through here and correct you on the way things actually happened, as opposed to the dream world in your head! Dave told me several times that he came up with the phrase when northern kids would come down to Soul City on a Saturday looking for uptempo, usually old, imports from the mid 60s. He used to say to David Nathan. "Pass me that box of northern soul" for these kids, when they had twigged on to the kind of records they wanted and put them in a separate box. I never once heard him describe it as the Soul Of The north, I think that was just a title for one of his Blues & Soul columns. If the kids had wanted mainly a certain style of R&B records, that would have been called northern soul. They obviously didn't but what I'm saying is it was based solely on the whereabouts of the customers, not the style of music.

I have no idea what you're talking about here; I don't think I've ever done soundclips, I'm not sure what they are.
