Does Underground soul mean its been buried................................................ I'll get me coat

Good One John hey about time we got you back on at the friendship Geeeoooooordie

When I see stuff like this I e-mail the seller and tell them what shit they are selling and tell them as long as they have holes in their arses they will never understand our scene. There are a few who have got a good handle on it but obviously plonkers like these need a good basting Geeeoooooordie

The term crossover is not limited to the soul scene it has been used for years for tunes eveolving from the R&B into the rock and roll scene it has been used to coin some of Elvis Presley's music that he took/covered from the out and out blues tunes and made into rock and roll hits. Years ago at school in our music lessons we were treated to a taped feature that was called the "history of Music" and the term was used in there. I suppose that the term just happens to fit different genres that have their music spaning the decades Hope this helps Geeeoooooordie

Jesus, Just paused me ......... movie and Lo and behold the same backing tracks on this thread. Geeooordie

PeteS I cat believe for one minute you like to argue.....Oh by the way those modern soul tracks you were after have arrived and........ooops I was supposed to keep quite about you being a closet modern soul lover. oops youve done it now geordie Geeooordie

Mark Billytheboot contacted him and asked some heavy questions within a few hours they were all pulled from ebay Now call me cynical but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geeooordie :diablo:

Chalky Derek Greenhoff is just round the corner from me I see him two or three times a month. Hes in good health his record collection is getting healthy again and I'll pass on your best Geeooordie

Replies Firstly FLIPSIDE nights last month was my first time for this event........Brilliant Hoss Rocked.... As Ben said.................... and Carl Willingham as ever he blew the roof off..so Sherdians flidside nights are a Go Go Go for anyone who wants to open their ears to brilliant music. great danceable, soulful, R&B. As for Dean barlow some one said it was popcorn UTTER CRAP... as is the record read below a conversation I had with Headsy some time ago Years ago when I was manager of the compass club whitley Bay (remember that) I had to have different nights to make ends meet so Tuesday night was "Rock and roll" night (only coz the gereatric teddy boys got kicked out of the high point hotel and I needed to fill a dead night) We had a live Band (the "wild cats" who had a lead guitarist of none other than, Hilton Valintine, ex lead guitar of the Animals) the band was actually very good............................. ..............and a DJ spot for the break and at the end. The DJ was a real wanker and he kept playing this god awful record that the rockers used to go wild over. One bloke, a record collector, used to gush "great sound this" as the said tune was pounded week after week until I was fit to snap the fucking thing. Years later after not hearing this rock and roll R&B tune I go to a northern do and nearly jumped on the stage and throttled the DJ for playing that tune that haunted me for so long it is......... DEAN BARLOW THIRD WANKER FROM THE RIGHT I WAS TOLD "BIG NORTHERN SOUND, ADY CROASDALE FOUND THIS" (dont know if thats true) AND ITS ON HIS KENT ALBUMS, (MUST BE SOUL THEN EH...no offence meant Ady ) God Give me strength are a lot of the sounds crossing over from the R&R into our music scene ?...certainly some ive heard recently seem so (watch out for the incoming Geeoordie) Geeooordie

Not examples but I do know a few people who are going into this in quite a big way one guy has them framed in his study,,,They actually look pretty good as well. He was paying about 50p a upto last year now the prices are getting a bit hefty for some of the classic sounds sheet music Geeooordie

Alison/Pete, Choons is pitiful its actually spelt.......... choones...... and ive used that since the 70's so has a whole host of people I knocked around with back then, ....mind you mostly geordies from the banks of the tyne and we couldnt grasp basic england even then) Dont know about the rave bit......f*** me wernt you two ever young and spoke in a way so that your parents couldnt undestand and get an idea of what you were upto. Geeoooordie PS im not a sad bastard either (billytheboot no comments from you)

Hi All Just read these threads and a conversation I had with a guy about 12 months ago which at the time i thought not alot of, has zoomed into my Grey matter. I was told off this guy (Who is a massive collector of about 30,000 records to date and for that reason will not give out his name, he also travels to the states about 5 times a year collecting, I have not found him to be a bullshiter in any way,) He said that on one of his visits late last year he had heard of a guy who had and was about to filter into the market - near/if not perfect counterfeits of big value records, and apparently had his hands on some original plates as well... whether this is the same character or they really are genuine I dont know but it seems strange. Has anyone else heard about this <_< Geeoooordie

Chalky your Right its in every walk of life I posted that in otehr threads So Tubbs you tell me what is your strategy for being the avenger of organised crime, because in many instances thats what it is, And in my good old days working in the entertainment/club game I saw things that would make your toes curl....frightening too. Its not right, its not fair, its bloody down right annoying but just do your part and dont buy any of it. coz like it or lump it it aint going away. Geeoooordie

Dan, Top Banana reply (to quote my youngest).... Hey like the avatar also Im still trying to work out how all this lot goes together have to mail trevski as he changes his layout daily. Your right we should at least try to do something but probably our best and sometimes only line of defence is as you say not to buy them. We are as well sadly coming into a time period where all the rights for many artists will dissappear through law and it will be a free for all for the scavengers and shilocks of the dishonest record world and...........bloody hell Dan your rubbing off onto me. hey look at the other thread (morals) Ive posted you a reply Geeoooordie

Now then Dan Alan Partridge I like him.......... dont get me going now, Ha ha Geeooooordie

Wha hey Dan thats what I like, someone who comes back fighting, makes this scene what it is, Some good points as well but lets be real, How much did Ernie actually get???? hey im not saying Ady didnt do the right thing..he did.... but I bet the money was Probably not a lot, once all the initial layout etc was taken into consideration, the Contract and licensing holders get most of the money, ie the record companies Re Dave rimmers comment in the Patrinell Statton Threads, that it is Rare that the artists hold the rights to any thing....he's right The artists get the shit end of the wedge most of the time. As I kept saying I dont like boots, I even said I dont buy boots, I went to pains to say Im a purist What are your thoughts on the PRS the very legal vehicle that is there to protect the artists etc and ensure royalties get paid???? NOOOOoooo body has commented on that .....why...... coz its a hazy crazy framework that gets virtually nothing back to the artist and few people understand it, but it is a start in trying to get at least something back. Im not advocating anyone should buy boots or even condon them, after nearly 28 years collecting Ive resigned myself to the fact that its not going to go away and that goes for any kind of counterfeit products in all walks of life.... I just make sure I dont buy them. Your comment: Looking back at my original posts on this, maybe I came across as a bit sanctimonious and holier-than-thou. Yeh you did.... thats why I went after your comment....come on its fun to have these discussions and hey dont get me wrong, also educational to get others comments that can change your perspective which some of your last (biography) threads did... so cheers for that............ and on top of that it seems that everyone was getting their bollocks out which was fun also. Chin Up dan We live to fight another Day Geeooooordie

Mark I was told you had verity 10 to 1 to win x factor and couldnt miss an episode Chalky your right to much music to worry about tele Geeoooordie

Tubbs Yes and......................???????????????? You obviously have not read my threads I have not said boots are ok what I have said is, they are there, they always will be there, and theres probably shag all me and thee can do about it, I buy originals only and are not keen on the shady dealers, but have long stopped trying to sweat the things that I have f**k all influence over, this scene is far bigger than anyone. Artists are ripped off legally as well as illegally via unfair contracts etc etc that probably costs them more than a few hundred bootlegs sold at a car boot on a Sunday morning ...so lets get it into perspective and hurray for Pete for letting us know whats been booted so no mug can buy them Geeoooordie

Pikeys dog In my opinion spinning one of these lookalikes at a venue fools no-one and devalues the scene as a whole....by doing this you're pissing up the backs of hard working collectors and DJs who strive to 'keep it real'. I agree with the above you wrote, thats the real crux of the matter, that it devalues not just the scene but the artists as well, Shane what do you think yer awfully quiet Geeooooorrdie Ha Ha mike just read yer reply your right but its great to be able to debate even if its done to death....now then that disposable income bit...I read about it somewhere and thought it sounded good so I added it

Mike, Love the banter, its sometimes hard to get your thoughts across in text so it can come out "vague" however there are more serious parts to my original text like the PRS etc that gets overlooked and these are the systems that are (supposed to be) legally in place to help artists, Nobody seems (at least not in the above threads) to be concerned about generating CDs on the computer or tapes etc etc...... is this not the same?? But heaven forbide some one presses it on to vinyl the jungle drums start hammering bad news .....Why???????????????? bootlegging has been there since vinyl was introduced.... like it or not (and I dont) we've just got to get used to it PS did you get your bollocks back in one piece Geeooooooordie

Whooops mike hit a nerve have I Bought originals all your life and live to pay back the artsist do you Arf Arf Why is it sweeping, I dont moan about boots there part of the scene, and when Im out and about those who whinge to me have, in the main, been people who bought boots themselves years ago. So in my experience the comment sticks So you can have yer bollocks back.....on a tray Geeoooooordie

Hi Godzilla, Your right there, the current modern releases from Sharon Duffy were recorded 10 years ago the rights have been recently purchased by a person with plenty of wonga and poor auld sharon will get a paltry fee for her singing and slogging through the last 10 years in the wilderness. The only people who get rich are the record companies, Now im not saying they dont sometimes have a hefty initial layout to recoup but reality is the artist gets peanuts in comparison Geoooooooordie PS Shane you didnt have much to say on this (most unusual) Ha Ha

Pete, Wasnt implying you only sold boots apologies if it came across that way I just cant abide these born again purists....... Im one....... but I dont ram it down peoples throats I do know what its like to have piss all money but just need to have a tune even if it was on a tape played on me auld philips tape recorder which went every where with me................... Now theres a point did these whingers not have there auld portable cassette players that went everywhere with them at weekends and the battery was almost failing as you got to a venue ....am I missing something but wouldnt that be the same as bootlegging .....and are Dan and Co making up CDs on their PCs for playing or passing off to their friends Geeeooooooordie P.S. pete send me a list
