  1. Hi there, things have changed and the old northern soul scene is dead and gone. However controvertial this may be, no subculture cannot be forever a way of life.. nowaday it's a way of socializing and a way of sharing an interest in a beatiful kind of music, alien to mainstream and the all embracing comercialization. Or at least that's the way i live it. all the best, andrea

  2. I hate labels but… Northern Soul definitely does for me!

    If being into Northern Soul means,

    feeling something strong which appeals you from inside when listening to certain soulful tunes.

     being part of the crowd in a nighter can make you feel you have redeem you from a whole week of misery

    you cannot remain indifferent to soul music and you feel you have to go to the dance floor.

    The rest is just part of our times and passing things…                                     in the end why care about what the others say or think? You cannot lead the life you want when giving too much importance to other people opinions

  3. Punters now generally wear polo/shirts, mocassins and normal trousers, a bit of 60/70 fashion and it's not so common to see buggies... you don't have to wear them but it's romantic in a way.

     

    And in the end, how could you not be nostalgic with all the sh**t you see these days? Discos, concerts, music, fashions, styles, bands, magazines are all so meaningless. Youth culture declined drammatically and I don't think many can deny that

  4. The last Paulette on the open market if I remember rightly went for £1200.  It has regularly, well when it has come up for sale which isn't too often fetched £800 plus which isn't surprising really considering it is a popular spin (just not on soul source), and it is rare.

    Well, my point was I would rather spend £1,332.68 for the masqueraders although the record is not that rare than the £ 800 for paulette. Just my opinion... the price is made by how much I'm willing to pay for it rather than how rare. But I know that the others don't reason like that

     

  5. That Paulette record is f&cking terrible, it might as well be by Lulu it's that poppy - someone paid $2000 for it?

    It's the starting price... and it went for $1500 or more in the past...

    I wasn't so drastic but it's more or less what i meant

  6. Has the backing track been used on another 45?

    I know the tune very well from 40 odd years ago but I can`t recall the vocals....and I would think I should as the vocals are dreadful. 

    I don't know. I don't particularly like this record. It's just the price that stroke me

    I mean that you can understand when a sound is built in a studio (morern stuff) and something spontaneous with real musicians.

    I can use as an example the difference with old science movies and modern holliwood ones. When directors didn't have money had to use their imagination to create interest in their public and there you could see the hand of a genius.... the same thing happens with old songs... only grat artists could create great tunes from nothing... hope I made myself clear

  9. Hi all,

     

    I'm planing to come to England to watch the new movie. Which cinemas will show it? Will it be shown throughout the UK at the same time? Will there be any event which will accompany the premiérè? I can't wait....

     

    All the best,

    Andrea
