  1. Several spring to mind to epitomise Northern Soul - rareness shouldn't come into it at all - its all about the beat and danceability! Mine would have to be - Invitations - What's Wrong With Me Baby, Fascinations - Girls . . ., Bobby Sheen's Doctor Love and I really like Pete's suggestion of Jimmie Raye's Philly Dog Around The World - an absolute bloody powerhouse of a record!
  2. Can't imagine there's a better example - an absolutely superb record!
  3. People piling out of the fire escapes I read somewhere. People were always on the fire escape - right behind the dancefloor - it got so hot in there on a Saturday night!
  4. If the Shredded Wheat advert upset you and you're not convinced that the Northern Soul film was made out of love and dedication then you must have burst a fuckin bloodvessel seeing Wigans Ovation on Top of the Pops - now that was cringeworthy!!
  5. Cheers! Fantastic stuff on there.
  6. Personal choice I know but surely the Contours Just a Little Misunderstanding is the stand-out dance number, closely followed by - Temptations - I Want A Love I Can See Tempts again! - Little Miss Sweetness Four Tops - I'll Turn To Stone also contenders - There's No Stopping Us Now, Stevies hey Love, Come Spy With Me and the Tops I Got a Feeling.
  7. Blimey - the punters look so young don't they!
  8. Just noticed this - I was at four of those nights - mind you there were loads of great acts on at the Plaza and at Stafford as well in the main ballroom and Wolvo Civic has always been famous for its acoustics - it was chosen to host loads of BBC In Concert series for this reason.
  9. no he don't!!
  10. gotta echo the same sentiments - was always a major figure on the scene - get well soon Ian.
  11. Sure Thing is a very good CD cover programme - a little complicated to start with but will allow most combinations of artwork and text. It can be downloaded free from any of the major download sites with its crack.
  12. Close call for me - between Miracles Tracks of my Tears, Four Tops Baby I Need Your Lovin, and the superlative Suspicion, but I'll give it to the Isley's This Old Heart Of Mine - the first of my many, many TMG purchases!
  13. What a soppy you lot are! snivelling into your hankies i bet. Oh alright then - The Artistics - This Heart Of Mine or Percy Sledge's version of Any Day Now! - there I've done it and I'm crying now.
  14. absolutely brilliant tune init!!
  15. My cars reg is CV08FCA so I've changed my name to Cindy Voluptuous Old Bag F**k C$$ts and Ars~~oles!!!!!
  16. Cindy Lauper recorded a very good blues album last year featuring B.B. King, Ann Peebles, Jonny Lang and Allen Toussaint! Maybe you should get your head out of your arse and give people a chance!
  17. Gil Scott Heron - fuckin crap Detroit Executives - ditto Case of Tyme - ditto Any of the manufactured shit/b*llocks from wigan - i.e. Footsie / Wigans Ovation - ditto x2
  18. Very sad news - some great, great records
  19. Superb videos mate!
  20. Bloody hell - they'll be doing the Okey Cokey next!
  21. If any of you subscribe to Blockbuster the American Folk Blues Festivals are available on there site to rent or buy - all three volumes!
  22. explain yourself - why would you willingly want anyone to police anything you enjoy? do the records sound any different? can't you dance to em? free love, live and let live - are they bad things?
  23. Luckily most of the punters in the clubs ain't in this esoteric band of bigheads like you lot - ha ha! - just listen to yourselves - there's a real world out there - take part in it now and again and lose the elitist approach to life!
  24. Count The Days - what a fantastic record - RIP
