messers plant and page certainly owe a lot to that track and are indebted to Bobby, sad loss, and under credited guitar hero.

that might make a great video, lol, but bearsy I'm mystified why, for some, soul has to be attatched to the human voice, as plaintive as it can be, certain instruments, strings, horns, guitar, piano can all resonate just as deeply. i just heard Miles Davis, 'summertime' on R2, again if thats not soul oozing from horn, what the hell is it? you'll proper think I've lost the plot now! but just listen to it, and that sound he creates makes me ache in a way that just means soul to me. otis had it, janis had it, Jimmi Hendrix and billy holliday, christ even lou reed had soul. Its not a genre for me its a feeling. and you cant attatch it to a style date or even the human voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh2QN1OoXvg

fair do's russ, I've not had a hi fi set up at home for 20 years, but I've always had a mixer and decks, so I sposse i'm spoilt really. the qualities of frigging with the eq are much underplayed on the NS scene imho. We have loads of threads on here about cleaning records in various form but enhancing a tune with the gain and eq can be highly effective and is seldom mentioned. You cant play album cuts well unless you know how to use one either.

one, maybe two per set is about right for me, i love instrumental music as much as I love voices, do they have soul? well, I can remember Frank ellison articles that bored me to tears on the subject, all I'll say can you honestly, hand on heart say this doesnt have soul????? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0MopHto_So

thats sounds just like a smokey cut from the 6ts, outstanding deserves to be massive.

why would anyone book someone in a modern room that couldnt use the equipment?

from a DJ's perspective you should frig about with the eq, gain and volume at every possible opportunity, you cant call yourself a dj if you dont, its your job!

Sure I can remember the original owner talking about planning the building out by placing toy soldiers in a scale model to check capacity. It was on Evisons show years ago when he did a torch special.

over the last 10 years fpr me its questionable if any dj has really shaped the scene, records have by and large stopped crossing over into the mainstream. there have been influencial dj's, carl heard's name is notable but the real influence comes from the promoters with the ever growing insidious creep of commerciality.

borrowed this recently, having read oodles on the subject, tis a good insightful read form a culture veiwpoint, not a great deal about the music in it tho.

not often enough to be honest.

'you arent down for that thing' then 'what do I pay for that spot' could of been a board game maybe be like ' what do I pay for old kent rd' long shot but its hard to hear that single voice clearly.

I can remember watchin Njoi's Saffron mining miming to anthem, thinking, this isnt right, I know that 'im in love with you' is just a sample from an old disco tune, there loads of others, there was an act on totp that ripped off that ' reach up' acca and some guy mimed it.

I can remember going to keele around summer 90 and loads saying 'where you been? dont tell me, you've gone raving'

We get a mix of classics followers and guys who want quality deep house, we try to strike a balance but there's more tolerance and less built up predudice to others peeps tastes

I got one of them and wondered the same, looks pretty obscure, fantastic track too, that sax break is wild.

after having a discussion about sasha ripping off Graeme Park with his landlord vs nicole mix recently, I had to titter, its already happening, check out the track ID's on various oldskool sites or maybe shine in leeds, or, blatant plug, lovehouse in cheshire. I even play original 12's only.

spot on!

my first all nighter, thanks for putting these up Chalky, a real blast from the past.

I nearly fliped when I heard the longer cut of this, awsome.

very well put sean, trouble is one of those scene's is thriving the other dying on its arse or at least so small as to be pretty much insignifigant to the other. Northern soul is now the nostalgia scene, a complete bastardisation of the scene's origianal ethics, I for one cant help but feel passionate about a bunch of 'divs' taking over the name at least and believing they know what its all about. I understand anyone who passionatly defends what they believe is right, even if they know the outcome is inevitable. Unfortunatly the progressive side of the scene is far from united with various factions within it thus disminishing the little influence it has. The family ties Sean speaks of have been severed forever, both pretty much isolated from one and other in the main, that IMHO is the saddest and real change in the last 5 years.

bring back the moderns rooms!

all quality.

just, finally got the white booty, and I'm chuffed to deaf, subtly different than the released version, and far better mastering imho, one to grab now while there still around

too many to include all my faves but here some for starters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U95wtChb9wM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noGMDDiUPRA and this, I have it about 5 times on different formats/ mixes but just had to get a proper bootleg mix, the boot is just the only one to really have https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh7frsXNWlo
