  1. I will take them all if there's no wol or gubbins on them and the price is right. Dave
  2. Good Evening Mellorsoul, Of course it's all subjective and about individual opinions for sure but it's worth noting that Ady received 5 times more nominations than any other non musical person in that category. The Category he is to be inducted into is 'Outstanding Contribution' (not Most Influential DJ). I think comparing the two as only like for like DJs, is like comparing apples and oranges. Both are indeed fruit but are distinctly different. For me, as a Board Member, I went with the majority of the nominations which I felt was the responsible thing to do as he was so far clear of the remainder of the field and am happy that the end result reflected a good solid choice on behalf of the SS membership and in particular the people who engaged in the process. It's good that these discussions take place though and especially good that members, like yourself, partake in them and contribute when they feel that they can/should. Hopefully, as the project builds people will feel comfortable having these types of discussions during the nominations process. All Good. Regards, Dave
  3. I'd have thought Ady was about as influential as you could get? Both Richard Searling and Soul Sam were also nominated but didn't quite make the final list this time around but I'm sure they'll feature again as we continue to build the project. Just so folks know.... we are in the process of building individual pages for each HOF Inductee that people can also contribute too. All the curren Inductes pages will all be opened together on 01 Nov just as we begin the next round of nominations. Regards, Dave Edit: As you can probably see I've gimped the e and t keys on my laptop so apologies for the erratic spelling errors.
  4. The inaugural inductees for the Soul Source Northern Soul Hall Of Fame have been selected and a list of successful inductees is below. We would like to thank everyone who took part by nominating their selections, which produced a fantastic ‘who’s who’ of Northern Soul for the Board to work through. As you can see by the list, although it’s a subjective project, I don’t think many would argue with their inclusion. Over the next couple of weeks we will be preparing individual pages in order to pay tribute to each Inductee and these pages will be housed within the HOF Forum. The next round of nominations will begin on 01 November so thinking caps on and if your particular favourite didn’t make the list this time, feel free to nominate them again. (And again until they make the list!) The nomination process and the required format are being tweaked for the next round. Hopefully people will be able to use a simplified form at the click of a button. Please feel free to add comments or suggestions for future improvements. Regards, Dave Moore INAUGURAL INDUCTEES TO SOUL SOURCE — NORTHERN SOUL: HALL OF FAME - OCTOBER 2014. FEMALE VOCALISTS Linda Jones : Often quoted as THE quintessential femme soul voice. A tragic end to a glittering soulful legacy. Maxine Brown : An ever popular and respected artist with a whole slew of Northern favourites, MALE VOCALISTS Edwin Starr : Perennial professional, both on wax and on stage. From Detroit legend to UK home boy. Roy Hamilton : Elvis’ favourite singer. Sang it all, from operatic pleaders and beat ballads to storming uptempo dancers. FEMALE GROUP Andantes : As vital to The Sound Of Young America as the Funk Brothers. Unrivalled success as a backing sound. Marvelettes : Motown’s oft overlooked ladies. Great musical legacy. MALE GROUP Masqueraders : Epitome of group harmony. Precisions : Produced classic Northern Soul and many people’s favourite live act over he years. MIXED GROUP (MALE AND FEMALE) Exciters : “Blowing Up My Mind” and appearance at Wigan made this duo a ‘shoe in’ for lots of people. Sapphires : Fantastic group that delivered classic after classic. Perfect foil for Jerry Ross and Joe Renzetti. PRE PRODUCTION Mike Terry : Legendary musician, arranger, producer and all round musical genius. Van McCoy : Did it all. Created legendary sides by a whole host of artists. Legend among Northern Soul fans. POST PRODUCTION Popcorn Wylie : Record label owner, publishing company owner, Detroit maestro. Expect to see Popcorn’s name appear in Pre Production category too I’d expect. Weldon A McDougal III : Producer, manager, label owner, promo man, photographer. Proper ‘record guy’ involved in all aspects of soulful vinyl business. Worked for Berry Gordy, Gamble and Huff and everyone in between. OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION Ady Croasdell : At the centre of the Kent/Ace catalogue of reissues and unissued material, responsible for the longest running soul club in the world and has brought many acts to the attention of soul fans that may otherwise have slipped away. Bob Abrahamian : Soul fan, historian, archivist, presenter of iconic radio show “Sitting In The Park” and a friend to many artists and fans alike.

  6. Threads merged. Regards, Dave (Site Mod Team)
  7. Moved to All About the Soul Form as probably better exposure here. Regards, Dave (Site Mod Team)
  8. Guys, The nominations for the inaugural inductees to our Hall Of Fame are now closed. A great first round with wide spectrum of folks nominated. Lots for the Selection Board to consider. The inaugural inductees, 2 in each category, will b announced in a week's time on 01 Oct. Many thanks to all who participated, we've made a great start, a real platform to build on. See you next round! Regards, Dave
  9. Pretty sure it's a made up tp from 1/4inch Agfa studio tape. Will let the current owner of said tape confirm. Regards, Dave
  10. No worries Mate, just send 'em along in a PM. Regards, Dave
  11. Topic moved to more relevant Forum. Regards, Dave (Mod Team)
  12. Jason, Just send in what you want Mate. If you prefer just send it to me via PM and I'll log your nominations Mate. No worries. Regards, Dave
  13. Of course there are limitations. It's not the bleedin' Grammys ffs. Of course it's a long drawn out affair. It's designed to be as inclusive as possible for the membership. There's a 2 month window to start and develop as many threads as you like in the Hall Of Fame Forum. Go for it Mate! Christ on a bike Flynny, if you smoked you'd be wanting me round to push your chest in and out! Regards, Dave
  14. I'd have thought they went hand in hand? Regards, Dave
  15. Ady.... have you read The Charter? Or seen the current list of nominations? Or seen the voting so far? It's all already in place Mate. It just needs people to have a proper look around the Hall Of Fame Forum. It's only going to be as successful as the membership want it to be. It's a 2 way thing. It will grow I'm sure. Little tweaks are already planned for the second round of nominations. Have you got your speech ready? Regards, Dave
  16. There is a forum available Dave. It's called.......drum roll......the Northern Soul Hall Of Fame Forum. LOL! There has actually been a lot more than 5/6 entries. People can send in their nominations in a number of ways and most have chosen to submit the Nomination Form. So their nominations come straight to me and I record them. It's a new venture, we haven't got past the first round yet and I'm quite pleased at the way the nominations have included artists and folks from a wide spectrum of our music. Once the nomination period closes, (20 Sept), the selected inaugural inductees will be announced (01 Oct). The inductees will receive a certificate (that we are still finalising) and I'm hoping it will be framed. (depending on funding). Then on 01 Novmber... it all starts again and you can nominate again. Hope that clears some stuff up for folks. If you want to only nominate in one class, or only in certain classes, just drop me a line and I'll log your nomination. Here's the ongoing list of nominations for the first inductees. a good start I'd have thought. If anyone has any questions of want anything clarifying just holler up peeps, in here or by PM. The NSHOF is here to stay! Regards, Dave
  17. Kris, Have moved to Radio Forum as that's where it'll get the right exposure. Regards, Dave
  18. There were 10 million regular Casino goers. Can't fail can it! Regards, Dave
  19. 'Til The End Of Time'. No release for this as yet I think. Great version of the Metros and Joe Buckman 45. Regards, Dave
  20. Top tackle. Well done! Regards, Dave
  21. Ok Mate, I'll try and track down a copy. Thanks for the heads up. Regards, Dave
  22. Pete you got a copy. If so could you scan it for me Mate. I'd love to credit Dave with the story. Mad as a March hare but a heart of gold! Regards, Dave
  23. Neil, Did you ever met Irving or Bruce in person? Any photos Mate? Regards, Dave
