I suppose the head spins are the reason why so many men on the scene are follicly challenged and the hat wearing has come in to vogue. lol

Is this link any good , seems to be giving a release date of 17.12.17 which I think is a misprint , I just takes you to the link Mike provided earlier. https://www.kingdomcomeforever.com/

These types of programmes even though embarrassing and leave northern soul devotees open to ridicule the biggest embarrassment is going on in local social clubs every weekend , people getting dressed up , playing clapped out oldies and buying bootlegs and stupid merchandise. Tuned in to my local radio station on Saturday for the local football it was followed by a guy called John Kaye playing records that were mostly clapped out in the late seventies with requests from people quoting '' keep the faith '' ffs. You have only to look at the pictures on here at some of the clubs do,s they are more akin to a pensioners birthday party than a northern soul night.

Same here , would have thought Christian names , because you could get duplicate names down the line.

So true but then the problem with that is it takes away a bit of the excitement out of the actual first playing because you are familiar with the tunes. Used to enjoy the written review and if they got it wrong in your opinion you could always scream wtf its crap , I am a album buyer mainly. Funny f**kers us record buyers

I mainly stopped buying new releases when Voices From The Shadows folded because when they where in business you knew if Dearlove, Barker recommended any thing chances are I would like it. After they went it was basically buying blind and I bought more duds than good uns so I went back to buying the older stuff again.

Just one thing, I agree this site is full of people buying records made by white artists but one point I would make is that by and large these records were probably made at the direction of the record company to try and get the said artist a hit on the back of the success of motown at the time. I think you would agree though some of the pop played at wigan had F**k all to do with soul music in any form or fashion and most people today are a bit embarrassed what was danced to back then. I own some great records produced by white artists who I would call soul singers , Eddie Hinton, George Soule come to mind . I did not know who Sam Smith was till this topic came up and I do not think I will be buying any of his stuff after giving it a listen Mayer Hawthorne , Paper Boy Reed now I,m listening

What's proper soul music to you Pete ? The music of black America or certain white 60s pop that got plays on the scene in years gone by as you stated in a post of mine . You stated in an earlier post that to sing soul music you had to be hungry and poor and I would assume black ? Just because records that are played on the Northern Soul scene and people still buy them hardly makes them soul records . Most soul artist are to me black and just because an artist such as Paul Anka had a couple of soul orientated records it does not make him a soul singer and the same goes for Little Richard for that matter.

Can never understand why such topics as these turn up on soulsource where the members are into the music of black America. I would have thought even Sam Smith and the like would not describe themselves as soul singers. And also as Chalky says some great soul music is still been made today. Just one gripe from me, what really does my head is the knobs like Bradley Walsh turning at Christmas time with cover versions of standards , who the f88k buys those type of albums.

An earlier topic here from 2007 . https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/61633-jackie-leedarkest-days-abc-again/

Great selection Chalky really enjoyed it , thanks for taking the time to compile it and to upload it.

Thanks for the heads up , just ordered a copy on online for click and collect £3 with free delivery to my local store.

Levanna McClean, Billy Paul, Gilbert O,Sullivan and Simon And Garfunkel, James Brown are the ones I seem to know. Could be wrong though !

Looks genuine to me a few little differences but everybody's signature changes , and why would someone forge a signature of Wylie it hardly adds to the value, and for some people it detracts.

If the style is the same , then the records could have been signed years apart , my signature changes daily !

These cds were from 10 years ago , and I think only 500 were available free. Maybe someone would do you a copy , I would but I don't own one.

Lonely Lover - The Inverts ?

I only heard the Temps version a few months ago and it blew me away, the only version what seems to have deviated from the others. It took. me a while to realize it was the same song.

The Temptations gave it a working over on their Houseparty lp. Sorry missed the Temps on the list . doh

Lorraine Johnson did a version.

On the said Cd this track is credited to Mancha but is that not just a typo and is it Tony Hester ? See link below from 45world. https://www.45worlds.com/cdalbum/cd/gscd53

Jeff Perry is on The Haynes Ultimate Guide To Northern Soul. CD

Tavares lp Hard Core Poetry has always been a fave of mine. Rumours by Freda is also a great track.

Phil Terrell ?
