.....and they would have a point - Woof! Len

I don't know what I mean now! Len

You got it! ........Obviously all what I have written is just my opinion......that just happens to be correct All the best, Len P.s - Post Number 312 - Best post of the thread See ya tomorrow.......but surely that's it now......

Oh no, no, no that's perfectly ok, 70's and Modern Soul is absolutely fine - It's that word 'Soul' you see, and I have to say in ref to post 304 (Labeat) 'R'n'B edged Northern' or as I call it 'Soulful R 'n' B' is also welcome at soul events - because it's soulful. There is a difference between the two tunes I posted earlier - 'The Trends' and 'That other one' All the best, Len

Why is O.V.O so important?......... Len

You dance how the h*ll you like 'young man' Yes you did dance to most of the tunes I played, and I am a little surprised at some of the tunes you have posted up - That's not a dig, just my observation because of this. Whether you like em or not though, doesn't come into it - It's whether they should be included at soul events. Answer - No All the best, Len

Antidote for you! Get well soon! All the best, Len 'THE DYNAMICS - I NEED YOUR LOVE' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC7qmek_xKw

Original post from Dave Ward - My last all-nighter was 1985, so forgive me if I'm off the mark here, R&B to me was cool, not Northern Soul dance music, but cool. Why is there this hatred towards R&B now ? I've seen photo's of people wearing anti-R&B T-shirts ? Is it something todays DJ's are pushing, that offends people. A couple of examples I could hear or look up on YTube, would help me understand. ......So Dave, has 'all of the above' helped you understand?........at all........ All the best, Len

Not if I have anything to do with it matey All the best, Len

Hi Jocko, I meant 'I'm Gone'.......away from the computer, as it seems real life was happening just outside my front door........I must have forgot it would make no sense! But back to 'this'.......'I'm Gone' IS Northern Soul - WITH BELLS ON!.........(Ahem.......just so ya know) All the best, Len

I'm gone. Len

.....Just left the room again, and I noticed that my whole road has been blocked off, with three fire engines, and loads of Police out there. So I nipped out to have a word with the Plod, and it seems a murder has taken place (allegedly) and a whole house has been set on fire, and put out.......whilst I was here 'chatting' on Soul-source......"I didn't see or hear anything your honour because I was on Soul-source"....... .......Blimey....... I kid you not - You will see it on the news tomorrow. All the best, Len

Can you see me?! .....I've just been on the phone - Yes, out of the room! Len

No they're not mate, just the one is (The Trends) ....Just so you know Ouch!.....Ok I asked for that kick All the best, Len

This could go on forever! - I love 'Bobby Bland - Shoes' ......and back full circle to my very first post......."If it ain't soul, it ain't soul" I think it's great that 'you lot' get it so wrong.......or is it me that does?.......In any case - it's what makes us all tick! All the best. Len

That is a unique record that fitted so well when first played, and was very 'left field'. It has stood the test of time, and I still think it's pretty unique. All the best, Len

Something I do like - ....Because it's got 'Soul'! All the best, Len 'The Trends - If You Don't Dig The Blues' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwSPco8exUw

There ya go mate - One awful record All the best, Len THE 5 ROYALES Catch That Teardrop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3jrOOUeGPw

I think this is why all of us disagree with each other...…Personally I focus on the word ‘Soul’, and expect just that, but the term ‘Northern Soul’ really does mean up-tempo 60’s dance music ……“Hooray!” (I hear Terry shout) The problem I have, is that I don’t want ‘Northern Soul’ all night, I want ‘Soul’, which includes Mid-tempo, and some 70’s type tunes (This is why some people don’t use the term) Have to say though, as ‘Incognito’ pointed out (post 192) during the period he mentioned, lots of different stuff was played (Including some R’n’B), and it was played in the right ratio so all flowed together nicely - You simply didn’t get time to get bored. All the best, Len

Cheers Ted, I remember Tony Parker mentioning you as a collector years before I met you, but that was later. I also remember you came to D.J for him at The Pemberton Centre (First time round) I can't remember if that was before All-brighton, after, or around the same time!.....Oh well All the best, Len

Just kidding mate - Always hated the said record, but each to his own....or should I say 'my own' - the damn dance floor is always packed to it.......could never understand it, but there ya go....... .......I won't stand behind you from now on All the best, Len

Me. Len

You'll catch up Len

......."You say Tomatoes, I say Tomangoes, Tomatoes,Tomangoes, Tomatoes, Tomangoes - Let's call the whole thing off" Len

Ain't that the f*ckin truth Ruth! .......awful record Len
