One good thing about FB that no one's mentioned is the chance to connect with the artists, got quite a few as friends on there. A situation that you couldn't have dreamed of 20 years ago!

I agree with Bearsy, FB is good fun sometimes and one of the reasons for me is its a great source of old photos from people I know and also don't know (Gethros "where are they now" page in particular) Soul Source is still my no1 port of call though and is unrivalled for info on this great scene and music of ours I also think the events section is its one downfall though, nowhere near as good as it used to be but its not the end of the world

Anyone want to buy a kidney?

Whoever trickiedickie is he should be guided towards some form of help for his own good Absolutely unbelievable

There was also the okeh small 45 reissues mike, US done for the northern market early 70s

US for me, the TMG's have never really had any appeal Am I right in thinking that this is generally speaking an age thing? ie TMG collectors are the older generation who were active in the 60s and very early 70s before imports were common. Any avid UK collectors under the age of 55 please put your hand up

All the rest by a long way, no contest for me although I like a bit of motown. The northern classics are what I was introduced to so unlike those at the older end of the scale motown wasn't my first love

Darrell Banks for me as well, the first version I heard. Seems pretty unanimous

Yeah but you think oranges are apples

Keyboard to keyboard

Yes mate but that R&B had a totally different meaning to the R&B which is a subset/spin off from northern soul which has only been used relatively recently

This is like two people in a room arguing over fruit, one is trying to convince the other that apples are oranges Ray Agee, The Invitations - Watch Out Little Girl & The Constellations - I Didn't Know How just aren't R&B in my book

I'd rather not hear them thanks

Yes Yes No No…………….. Thats where these discussions go pear shaped for me, everybody's definitions and perceptions are different

Can I just clarify this - are you saying The Constellations - I Didn't KNow How To is at the soulful end of R&B?

Has everyone been drinking tonight?

Abso-frickin-lutely

Picked up a Monorays for a fraction of that only a few years ago, its like some sort of parallel universe……………………...

Jesus, another one gone! Remember Mona from my earliest days at Notts Palais all dayers 75/76 time, as a young kid he was one of the older lads we used to look up to. Haven't seen him for a couple of years, but knew he wasn't in the best of health. Sad times….. RIP mate

NO

Thanks for all the input. So this is another case of a record being around for a few years before becoming known to the majority of people. Maybe the guy who claimed it was played at Va Va was right? Cant discount it completely but I don't think Ian Levine DJ'd there did he?

If you haven't been to a venue for so long you'll enjoy it and you won't look too out of place dressed like that, plenty still do
