Hi Ted .. I know I have Taken tons of Pills in my life that was one of many rareities that night I remember Mick buying Ben Aikin on Lomo, defenantly not Andy Spencer as I used to go to his house to buy of him Good Days DAVE KIL

Hi one of my favorites that I could not buy in the 7ts, and my first copy turned up 5 minutes away from my home at a great little All-nighter on Spring Road Wolves, the event was a Paddy & Aggy doo. some great records that night up for sale I remember Paying £12 for it year 86??? sadly in the early 9ts I have to sell my collection (bills debts kids) mortgage at 17.5%, Hence me collecting UK singles in my present collection DAVE KIL

Just a quickie Much has been written about Soul music in the UK, and as Such not to much about the Northern Scene, and if you see Film the Little there is of it ? this is again a bug of mine the complete ignorance and denial especially in 69, it is if we did not exist and by March The Bovver boy was dead if not 2 months earlier, However the word "Skinhead" was used by all and the style become available to all, even markets sold copy cat clothing, I can see it now Jay-Tex shirts and a crombie coat for £4.s 19.11d Levi Jeans 501 zipped were 52/6 to give you a guide as many Boot Boy started there Borstal 6m to 2 the rest of the country was SKINHEAD mad, My piece about politics and black music is a documented fact How ever the debate can continue if you feel there is or was no sense of freedom in the black people of the Southern States FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF MARTIN LUTHER KING, The reference to the fact the scene came from and was driven by record collectors of rare soul ( Record collector #7 I think the late Chris Savery used the words to introduce readers to the rare record aspect of Northern Soul, he also uses the dancers pointe of view? For me I found the scene who was responsible for starting it or even where it started?? I know I was collecting Black music as soon as I left school as they were pricey I robbed many records in the early days so I could DJ in a Pub come to think of it the Disco was also Nicked Tut Tut. and finally there were 2 great black dancers from our area Josh & Kingsley who were dancing to uptempo stuff in 65 at the Stevenage Mecca and were well known to all in this Modland??don't forget we will all have a different story to tell about the early days and for us who lived through this time were just Kids growing up I had Mates Black and White, however my black mates seemed to have life sussed out way before I did as the sense of family unity and respect was strong and I envy them and wanted to be like them?? DAVE (SPIRIT OF 69) KIL

Hi Mate Yes many people say i am deep? This is an asset to me especially when I work as a Counsellor, my style is very post modernist and integrative in psychological approach to the therapeutic to benefit the clients needs, this means as a part of my clinical practice I treat issues in steps over 6 sessions, to guarantee a positive outcome whatever the nature of the problem, however organic issues need psychiatry not counselling?? Basically I have always used and relate to my own loss issues that I have experienced throughout my life, and it is The LOSS issue that is behind most of mankind's depression sadness and anger, Empathy costs nothing but not many of us like to be genuine and transparent about there thoughts and feelings, its easier to stay depressed and have a good laugh now and again than the juxtaposition "ask your self when was the last time you had a laugh that you almost cried" if you cant remember stop and check yourself out! Racist views are not ours ? some one else give them to you/us its never to late to question are you the real you, I strongly believe that we are all equal once we accept who we are as such racism sexism and all the ism's would be eradicated from the world just like we did with smallpox and polio? it is noticeable to myself that the tension in the ever growing black community is the exception of black people from Africa, most black guys don't even know were this feeling comes from, I suggest it goes back 5 generations and black people from the USA and the Caribbean have something that black Africans don't have and it is within there souls that the harshness of slavery and lack of identity, as I say the real reason was a mistake at the start of our Scene the 6ts Mods mixed well so did the Bovver Boys of the late 6ts, however the rare soul scene started from a different stance altogether, Quite simply the desire to Collect rare Soul records in the main rare soul did not happen in London but like many people who lived in the South East and London they did not give up on soul quite the opposite and London has always been head of the game? even the longest running Rare Soul Event is on Oxford Street, the Tiles Club that was in spitting distance from the 100 Club had many black regulars same music policy but it was a current music scene not a rare one?? over the last 20years quite a few black people have started to collect good old Du-sties just the same as we did all those years ago? in the end it will all turn out fine?? DAVE KIL

Hi Soulie / Pete, OK you are right and I am so wrong about the true rareaty of this record, I reckon on a good day for me it would be a MIN £1K, as i no longer have many £1k records I have not got anything to trade with? I still think there are rarer records out there, DAVE KIL

Hi all you Black & White Luvvers***This is entry #3 on the reason there are no Blax on the Soul Scene?? Well surprise surprise they went away and made there own scene and there own music??? but how did that come about and why are they on mass believe that Northern Soul scene was not for them:- Are we all white racists? to be truthful I think not, but the true spirit of the rare soul scene was lost in those early days 71 to 75 and by then we all had become masonic about the scene. to understand my point you have to look no further than who is playing the 45s to give you a clue they are not black? and no matter how much we covered the uptempo music of the USA and white UK covers of the style, we left our inspiration of black music out of the scene, basically because it was run by dedicated white people who could pass a honers degree in the subject with the great wealth of factual knowledge and elitist ideals they got to the point that the 45s were accredited to them not the artist that was for all the punters to work out, self centred with CUPs to the extent that they did not acknowledge the real soul fan who sold them the record in the first place??**This insanity was a complete opposite to what the Black youth wanted and highlights the logic of why Ian Levine & Colin Curtis went down the road they did taking the hallowed Blackpool Mecca with Him. Traditionally in the States and very much so in Jamaica the DJ represented a high position in the community, and in particular through the sound mans 45s he was telling the community the NEWS ( Jamaica is a poor third world Country) a quick run down the records of the time the topics are all in 4 to 5 story lines SEX Poverty and Gambling , Drugs as most Jamaican music is controlled by the Producers not the artist, you can almost tell how much Bush Weed they smoked that day as with Ska which follows the rhythm of Rum Hence Rum rhythm Reggae was inspired by cannabis and hence the early sounds that introduced the Reggae Dance were sexual or US hits to Dance the Reggae suited the white working class Bovver boy as it was more manly to dance in the Jamaican Style (basically homophobic tendency here)The Reggae was more about the rhythm of the Hips not the feet suggestive and flirtatious, My first attempts to dance the Reggae were like so many white boys not quite the same as our black mates, the Jamaican way is almost like trying to F**K this movement was named as "welding" and if the Girl accepted the Dance the to welded together? meanwhile my attempts looked more like I was taking the p**s I can assure you I was not, however the white way to dance to the Reggae tried to copy the authentic style however a emphasis was to introduce the knees up mother brown element to the dance Fists up in a boxers style and footwork that consisted of showing all your mates you had a pair of cherry red Air Ware, so the daisy root dance was adopted?? Back in the rare soul Clubs the lack of Black people to show what the dance moves were eg:- the Duck Jerk Dog Pony and so on which is the original purpose of the tune, was given over to talented individuals who were proberly s**t hot at PE in School? and by 73 the spins side walking and hand clapping was a thrill to watch, personally I think the first 6 Wigan All Nighters were the epitome of Northern Soul Dancing as the place was still very much an underground scene and with many Torch goers not attending as they had grown up and got hitch in the Summer of 73 and when you are young March to September is a long time without the Torch on your doorstep (only the boys from the South really travelled to events?) and to conclude this part I put it to you that the lack of understanding of not inviting a black DJ was always going to be a hard one to prove that it really had no intentional racist aspect at all? The last Point is that Black music as I said carries a Message and is by nature a throw away commodity (I am talking from a DJ point off view) who reads yesterdays papers? No way was a norther Soul DJ gong to stop playing a sound until it was or reached a high, and the bootleg cane out? how many of us got "Sweet Sherry" with "Lets have a love in Inst) I feel in part the early stalwarts of the Wheel Mecca Junction & Torch Never in the slightest thought 40yrs on we would still love rare soul and in my case Reggae and can only apologies to the people who discovered Northern Soul after 1975 we forgot to ask our black brothers and sisters to come along, but hey there is a twist is it around 74 that black people in the UK had received the the Gunga Message and started to really slam home the message of liberation and emancipation and put down the old faith to adopt the Rasta Faith I & I RASTAFARI?./**PS Don't you just want to kick white blokes with locks right good and hard in the Knackers? I do and will always will? These are my reflective opinions of my teenage years and the personal involvement I had in the Youth Sub-Cultures of the time, as such I would like to here your account of the BLACK & WHITE situation? DAVE (to Rass Man) KIL

Hi just a quick response to the remark"Skinheads like Reggae music":- in 68/71 the majority of youth that had adopted the fashion of the 68 Bovver Boy also listened to Reggae and that's about it< as it is my clear recolection that the small group of origanal Boot Boys were the ones who introduced Reggea to there mates and not the other way round with the exception of those who lived in areas of South & West London BRIXTON SHEPARDS BUSH. at the age of 17 my first love of music was Reggea at the time I was totaly unaware that Reggae was the new style of music to come from Jamaca, and like most people of my age at the time had only hered a handful of Jamacan Tunes mainly Prince Buster Desmond Decker 007 and a couple of instrementals Namely "Guns of Navarone" & "Phoenix City" these tunes were typacal club sounds and even at the Twisted Wheel club they played a few more ska records in line with the Flamingo policy also they played white pop music with the right sound, so records like the Gaylads "lady in the Red dress" Frankie Vali "you ready now" were very popular. But Reggea if played at all in a club would have been any of records on the Straighton UP/ Tighton UPs 1 2 & 3 or the Red Red Wine LP in fact if you ask most people to name 25 reggea tunes who were around in 69 it would be very hard thing to do? My recollection is that out of all the Poeple who addopted the "Skinhead Style" in Hartfordshire from towns like Hemal Hatfield Welgar Stevenage and so on 10 people that I can put a name to would enter a Blues Club they proberly did not know about them or lacked the bottle to Knock at the Door (I recomend you to listen to the opening of the Spooners Crowd 45) (a) To get in you had to be known by the sound man or house owner. (b)you had to be trusted in the fact that the whole set up was illegal, © you were not racist it was there House Party and respect was given to and recieved from. Reggae was a new sound and as such in 68/9 depending on location and sound man you proberly were hearing differant tunes, this became obvious to me when I first met Jim Silles 25 years ago and records that I called classics were Differant from his selection so my Winston Shan MATILDA on Bullet was a top ten tune for me Jim put it way down his list and remembers the "B" side as the Tune? and it goes on the big differance between me and Jim was very clear as our recollection show He lived in Olimpia as a Kid I had lived in Approve Schools as such his contact with black kids was normal to me I had to learn Quick as such my inherrited racist views at time got in the way of things but quite clearly both our latant teenage years was based on equality and charictore and not Stero typeing but my termanolagy had a lot to be desired as i commenly referd to my black mates as SPADES and this is highlited when entering North West London in 69 with its gangs from Harlsdon and Willsdon calling them selves the WHITES and RUDE BOYS, and even the gaul to use the the word Mafia as the Hendon Boot Boys did, In summary the best conparrasion I can Make is with the young kids of to-day HOODIES once again the origanal Hoodies were quite simular to the Boot boys of the 6ts and just as Violant it is noticeable to me that knife crime has risen over the years and the victem is nearly always potrayed as a good boy, but I bet for some daft reason he adopted the Hoodie Style and as such he was singled out in the same way as BootBoys would attack someone for nothing The Golden Rule of Gang Mentality is to cause fear it is the best way of making sure you are not the victem (if you dress or ware the uniform with out acceptance you will be targetted) this rule is as old as the hills and for some youth like myself in the day the Slogan of "DONT TOUCH ME" was so true, and the Reggea issue is interesting to me as it was just for me and it was new, And explaines a lot about the way the Norther soul scene developed it could be to-day a very differant scene if more black people had moved to the other Cities but as we know these places had a more historical link to India and Pakistan and the Cotton trade and of course this is were most racist remarks are based as Black people from Jamaca speak english even if it is a first hard to understand "De Shop pon de corner" "Rass Clot & Pussy Clot" were words that we tresured at the time especialy when being hastled by the Old Bill ti rass. I forgot to mention that quite a few Black lads from Wolves went to the Casino and played on the very fact that they were Black and Hard some of you may of ment them in the Bog??? By the way Mick Smith Hates Reggae and I love it? the age differance between us is 2 years hence he looks down on this period and he is MOD were I am Trouble?? DAVE KIL

An excellant and very true observation. and what I deliberatly avioded was the late 7ts with OI! & the MOD revival, once again I hate it when some one say I was a mod in the early 8ts?? rather than the concept of the style and culture of the Mods had a impact on me that i enjoyed the revival years, And what about the Black kids now in there late 5ts all my mates who were black were Jamacan born and they to had a hatred for issues that did not fit into there life style and still does< I have never met a Jamacan man who like African blacks?? DAVE K

Back in the day only girls had camaras, its true thats why origanal 6ts photos are rare or just inderviduels poseing for there picture, and it would be certain kick in? DAVE KIL

This is part of the point of why there is not many young people on the scene. I think it goes back to our own youth and a misconception that arises from youth sub-cultures at the end of the 6ts, and the way they have been interpreted in a negative way as a cop out to make a point of stereo typing individuals as racist & bigot's? As a teenager in 68 & 69 and with the social & educational methods used in the 50/6ts of individuals being made example of so others could achieve and other social changes: sex & drugs being more ever more the IN thing rather than being Straight, and also the factor of influence of our elder teens, in my case both sister and brother were original Mods* 63 & 65 are in particular exciting years to look at, my year was 67 and straight out of a kids home, with the anger and frustration of my childhood like quite a few people that I still know you were labeled as a delinquent, add that to issues in my live that have made an impact on me, such as 3 pm on Saturday at Upton Park the catalyst for the most dynamical change happened? basically on mass a united and untouchable attitude happened? with this came the violence and nonchalant disdain to anything that did not represent yourself, this included the "Old Bill" soft peace loving long hair types, students, Grebes and in particular the new HELLS ANGELS they were a target along with Homosexuals and so on Northerners and anything that was not West Ham if you fitted virtually every category going? However it is the Black v white issue that the press and later sub-cultures would aspire to? Living in North Harts was the ideal location as my home town had nothing to offer, it was a standard practice to travel about to go dancing Luton Cambridge Bedford Stevenage and in my case the Royal in Totonham and as I always state Soho for the special nights, all Dance Halls in my area at that time were there for one reason only to clash and take over as our Dance-hall, it is strange to reflect on this attitude maybe that's why when I went "up north" the share absence of meaning less violence was really quite cool, However I have always kept my guard up, especially if you were someone known to have Gear on them. However to my knowledge and as stated my comments are factual as this sub-culture was mine not a little kids point of view? that's another story based on "skinheads" not a team I would use to describe the time at all. the Black & White issue? throughout the 6ts especially on the (MOD) Scene the real places to go were City centre night life a City that had already a multicultural society emerging, in particular I could mention many Cities but 2 stand out from the rest although Sheffield and Leicester come to mind (my brother went to the Night Owl) but London and Manchester are the 2 of most interest to try and answer your question LONDON all things about the Mod Scene and Club Scene have been covered so much so, that I have met people who know more about the places I used to frequent than me and they are 10 years younger??. Once again there were some great clubs in SOHO and indeed in South London Ram Jam Club was the best The Upper Cut in Forest Gate with its GO-GO Girls (nice touch Billy) West London's many Shebeens and Jamaican Clubs, in fact in all that time 68 to 73 the ratio of Black to White was always higher for Black people I did whiteness push ups but no racial tension at all maybe it because there were no issues of segregation it was party Night, as a kid of 17 I did get hustled a few times but that's what happens, most clubs played a mixture of black and white music but the atmosphere was always good the only interruption came from the 3.30 to 4.30 Old Bill raids and there dreaded Black Marias? and if you were pulled in a night in the cells of West End Central Cop Shop was a experience you would not want a a good kicking in was at the reception good days?? So in London the clubs had a mixture and balance, in Manchester when on the few times I was at the Wheel Club the Ratio was clearly not the same even though the Wheel had a almost Identical music policy as the Flamingo, of course the answer was not a racist one its that at that time more people from the Win-dies lived in London, in fact I wonder How many Jews went to the Flamingo compared to the Twisted Wheel and of course it was London & Brum that had the top Jamaican Clubs and yes I know Nottingham had good clubs? however as the rare soul scene developed in the North (of Bedford} it is clear that the black & white did not exist in the way or context of London. To conclude the case is one of demographics and by 74 I had stopped going to the Jamaican Clubs and there was a unfriendly welcome to most white people as the Roots music started to happen. As for Black & White Issues all I can state when I was 17 I used racist words to black people with out considering the impact on them, but hey it was the late 6ts and I was a poorly educated angry 17 year old, and yes I did go "PAKI" bashing as it was called, however times move on at the Torch reunion attended with my Son in law he is Indian from his blood roots but solid British through and through and I am proud of him to be my son? this is a excellent and mature question and I hope it is not ignored again? and gets some input perhaps from a younger individual?
