Just a thought if it were thirty years ago and EPR was black would it still be pop ? we would have been falling over ourselves to buy it

Bought the CD the other day loving it , not a bad track on it

If I cant have Funk then this,ll do nicely thanks

The funkiest of funky funk rooms for me please .....................urg get down wit ya bad self

Sorry I cant help you but I must congratulate you on a fantastic new word UNGOOGLEABLE brilliant

Can you get one in Turquoise ,black and white without the writing please .?

A lot of the Motown albums inner sleeves had promotions on them selling merchandice and such , but I wouldnt have thought there was a market for this stuff its hardly rare . What a strange world a fool and his money

Got more soul do,s behind me than I have in front of me so I aint moaning just going to enjoy what Ive got . Who would have believed thirty odd years ago that the scene would still be around ? . It doesnt need analysing just enjoying

I am loving this thread some of the label scans are outstanding thanks for posting them

Skiing in the oops................Ten miles High , but not this week

Another one to chuck into the mix "The policy is Quality" gets me everytime , what does that mean?

Harper valley PTA with a wah wah This guy certanly put the C**t in country

Ko ko Taylor , Gwen Mcrae two outstanding RnB artists with records that fit the northern soul template , Fats Domino it keeps raining one of my all time favorites Northern or RnB who cares its brilliant and that doesnt fit the template . I personally have never heard a DJ play out and out Rock and roll or doo wop at a soul event , having said that there are some blurry edges, but isnt that what keeps the scene moving . If the punters dont like it the DJ will soon get the message

Aye the forties were the lean years for our scene there was rationing you know

My top tip for newbies is dont take it or yourself to seriously , remember what we were all like 20/ 30 odd years ago blocked out of our heads and having a laugh

I remember Reg Coates he used to play the Poco a Poco in Stockport He,d swing the mike out over the audience and reel it back in how he never twatted anyone I,ll never know

Easter sunday 1976 on my way to the Ritz a bloke jumped in front of the train at Heaton Chapel station put me right off my eggs . Above the door was a sign that read "Some of the most beautifull women in the world have walked through these doors " liars I met my ex wife there Despite all that one of the best venues ever

So many brilliant memories associated with that tune Ive not heard it played out for a long time , shame really its a cracking tune and its got a good B side aswell

The only LP you will ever need all killer no filler absolute class from begining to end .

I am in no way a serios collector but I have a few I love my British labels , the thrill for me is that they were so readilly available and yet so many of them slipped through our fingers , and now rightly so are highly prized collectors items . As far as I am concerned they are original relleases albeit on British labels .

Its gonna end long after tonight is all over Thats it time has passed me by , I,m on my way seeya

This one does it for me

Pretty apt really the clocks go forward tonight and I,m on a night shift Still a pile of shite though hope I never hear it again .

Yes but Ive not heard it out nor would I want to the lyrics are well meaning but the song is dire .

The world is like a great big onion , no its not
