love it love it, I have more salsoul and philly than any other sub genre. like virtually everything posted, trouble is an awful lot of NS fans ain't music fans, just collectors that like specific records, and as such will hate everything that varries from there rigid scope of dancefloor fodder.

in the top 3 books ever! like with the bible and war and peace, or maybe shakespear's collected works and Dicken's Great expectations maybe. I hear it maybe on the gcse english cannon soon.

I'm sure they are, I have some great audio file jazz albums but they have to be absolutly mint to to get the best, Vinyl is debatably less durable that other formats.

do you think its a matter of horses for courses? The few folky bits I have, fleet foxes ect, and Jazz for example might fair a little better all in all from digi because of the issues you can with quiet passages, where as music of a dynamic nature, black music for example may bennifit from analogue?

few more to add from the first set, Lee Rodgers- Love and war Harvey Averne- never learned to dance Bongo joe- Pepsi tony Midleton- Spanish Maiden Le Grande Melon- Baby please dont go Bobby Fisher and the bishops- Now your gonna cry Franks Butler- The love I need Limitations- I'm lonley I'm troubled Billy Ray Burnette- Casting my spell on you Troggs- TNT Stone fox Band- down in a hole Furys's - What is soul?

the first official appearance of the tony hestor (spaceland), was on the grapvine lp, i think but ~I was told it isnt him, and was dubbed on by anderson and co- conspirers in the mid 7ts. not certain myself.

that a brilliant but bizarre metaphor .

Had a few dancers and listeners asking after certain tunes so I thought it worthy of including some of my plays. Geese freestyle room 11-12 Jesse Anderson- True love express Lee Sain- Them hotpants Calvin Arnold- I need a rest Elli the phropet- Take a little give a lot Gene Chandler- in my body's house Reflections- Gott get my mind together Timmy Thomas- Stop bothering me Mark iv unlimited- gone Joe Simon- The girls alright with me Magnificent men - I got news Mickey and the Soul generation- Hey brother (demo vers) James Walker and the soul marchers- Walk on More to follow.............

sorry only I've heard quite a few 50 something go on about how they looked down on the ted revivalists from the 7ts, as backward looking and deeply uncool, for gods sake ted was a term of derision in the 9ts for my generation.

there certainly not on or into any kind of scene, just attending themed revival nights run for commercial profit, like er the teds, that your generation tended to look at in disgust. sad really, old men cynically exploiting something that some still take seriously.

I've said it many times before, but for me and many others, OVO, is an intrinsic part of the heritage of the scene and essential, imho to its survival. Collecting and a turnover of fresh sounds be they re-activations or fresh discoveries comes from collector and collecting, has nothing to do with bootleggers or the guys who play them, sometime perfectly validly at local soulnights, where no one give a dip. No OVO, no collectors, no scene, or whats left of it, simple as that. The scene has always been unique from other revivalist music types, rock and roll for example, Northern was always and still is, just a living breathing entity that is in constant flux and development, something more than a buch of teds dressed in bobby sock and clown trousers

yes, sorry for the typo, I'm murder for it, I was told about it, but may indeed be mythical, like bob relf's reaching for the best

I was told about a french tengiers ep, any truth?

sposse I'm spoilt, got a big cellar all to myself, large speakers, and I listen to tunes late @ night when usually, ahem, fully relaxed, so the settings not that disimilar at home.

almost sounds like a mayfield song that.

he did some stuf with the roots a while back.

robin lyn is grt but its out and out garage, in its purest and most brilliant form, which hits on an interesting piont really; there's little difference apart from tempo to what the london massive were doing to what was going on in new jersey at the same time, is there?

i forgot how good the waterstones were, I class most of the stuff I've got on bump 'n groove as house, but I sposse its got a definate street feel, I'm with you on some of the shite that passes as house on the northern scene, its like they think those high end filters on tunes are compemporary when they actually souned so old hat.

it was the late 70's for me with the comics thing but I'm with you on the adds, never been to north america so I was made up to buy a 'twinkie' in macclesfeild last year.

its the back of the van stuff I've held back, hard to work out if some of these were boots of official release though or just very inide releases.

Just wondered if there's anything of listing value in this genre, could it one day be of interest to soul fans? will ever sell a big batch of this genre I've been trying to off load for an age? t seems impossible now, but plenty are on independant lables and seems relativly obscure, probably sold in limited no's to a pretty black audience in the uk. I hated the stuff at the time and remember thinking 'if only there was a house mix on this '12'! anyone collect it? any recconmentdations, is teddy riley the new Messiah?

Dont know if you count as the same age, or got into the scene at the same time, the 8ts, but motown seemed pretty unfashionable, imho, at that time, and I certaily dismissed mt as not as good as the real deal, ie proper northern. OK, 'suspicion' and 'come on back to me baby' were massive but there's loads of common, motown, wheel records that I didnt know and never ever heard in that era. Maybe it was to do with the focus on nighters at that time rather than the preponderance of soul night that seem to dominate nowdays. or I could be talkin shite again, lol.

box of chocolates.
