Heard on FB this well known stoke soul lad has passed. An amazing dancer and promotor of the bear, soul night in Newcastle under lyme during the 80's.

Think the use of the term, Northern soul, is ambiguous in this case, it should be straight forward but isn't. . For me Northern soul has always included a healthy element of sounds from at least the 70's, if your talking rare soul or oldies. Are you asking people to state if it's an oldies night where only 60's are played? Honestly don't think you'd find many, unless it was a wheel revival. Because as stated initially, 70's, what I assume you're referring to, as modern, has been played since the torch.

Just been reading the thread about the biggest ever nighter, which seems to many there worst ever nighter! Atmosphere is generally created by folk being in close Proximity. It doesn't have to be more than 30, in the right size of venue. Personally I'm dying to get out again, especially as I'm going to be facing 150 kids on Thursday, but I think I'd hold out till things are done properly.

Most clubs were on there knees before this, how can they possibly make money with these kind of restrictions?

Used to hear amazing things about dingwalls at the 100 club.

Changing demographics of the soul scene, lots of old scooter people on scene nowadays, one reason not enough 70's and 80's material is given the chance imo.

Like chalky I parted with mine a while back and although it does have some great qualities can't image it's easy to dance to.

Top 5 for me, maybe more like last ten years, haven't got out much in last five. Billy hawks- o' baby Hytones- good news Volumes - ain't going to give you up Black sugar- too late Hermon hitson- bad girl, (yeah I know you all like the other version, but I prefer this!)

The skip mahoney came out on underworld in the Uk, winder why they licensed it? Rather than release on uk salsoul?

Interesting thread ken. It's such a personal thing, that for me has changed and developed over the years, but I reality as I think you're eluding the definition exists purely in the mind of the collector.

Not and get that level of finish. That's my point, it looks like it's done at factory. You'd have to be a proper dab hand with those scissors, a Pele of pritt stick.

Not sure about that personally. If they did looks like they soaked off the old labels first then had the labels cut professionally. Lot of hard work and costly for a vanity project.

Totally agree, underated IMHO. Was playing the grapevine album the other night, forgot it was on that.

I've had a couple of acetates of soul classics before, I had a ' I'm your puppet' and been told there not worth much more than a standard issue. Nowadays though bit of clever speil and who knows? Bet Manship could get a pretty penny, some of them do look asthetically attractive and they certainly seem authentic.

Onyx-Brilliant ' you never fail to amaze me'

Had a boot in the 80's seem to remember it as pretty pitted on the label. Went for the blue one, just to be certain when I re- purchased.

Hope we're going to see you out and about, post covid, doing the Oxfordshire shuffle once more.

Seen buddy at anything from 50- 100

Thanks for the that, didn't realise. Worthy of a mention non the less. Quite possibly, great version though I think wilson's has it' merits too.
