  1. spot on really, for me its always been about what makesyou collect, is it the deisre to hear fresh tunes; to delve deeper and learn about underground music or do you look up at say Sean Chapman and think, 'I wannabe like him', or maybe even, ' i cant afford to do that, so I'll buy boots, no one cares anyway'
  2. its all so true, but so sad and depressing.
  3. Just had a flash back seeing the bottom flyer, what a line up, a who's who, of top northern Dj's from that era.
  4. best time I had record shopping was queens day a few years back, when loads of locals use it as an excuse to flog their old junk outside there graght's, found loads of interesting bits, including a dutch fan club only Timmi Yuro EP.
  5. janis sou-less, well tony dont start me on that one, next you'll be saying Hendrix didn't play the guitar with any soul, or Coltane wasnt a soul-ful Horn player, its an atitiude not a style of delivery surely.
  6. I'd say that was the best shop I've been to in Dam too0, freindly staff too, its in the 9 streets area if my memories serve me well, and had some wonderful orig funk albu8ms on display behind the counter last time I was there.
  7. Alabama shakes, just came across this act on r6 this morning, and mighty fine they are too, anyone else like it? have the album? seen them? top notch on this track at least methinks!

  10. Ptetty certain this was early 87, I'd say around spring time.
  11. I think a lot of folks from other scenes would find it pretty bizzarre that Dj's and collectors dont want to share there music and ideas on the northern soul scene.
  12. cant believe how big 'pegs' were!
  13. shite, I'd love to be there, but the missus is bleeding working nights again! top artist.
  14. some marking, probably not the one's your describing, can be quite evocotive and apealing, who was he or she? are they still living ect. I have a pressing with 'pete lawson' scrawled on it that I'd never part with even though I wasnt close to pete, he was one of the scene's beautiful, mental characters.
  15. noin alcoholic bar I seem to remember?
  16. great prod and song on this, and the voice aint as bad as much of his stuff but It'd be better with a whole lot of other 60's soul singers vocal on it. I can hear a fantastic version by chuck or Clyde Mcphater in my head.
  17. oh christ pass me the rennies, those words are proper sticking in my throat, LP only? I want one!
  18. I was just asking about the state of play in general and honestly hadnt considered 'the true meaning of modern soul', but its certainly been informative, I'd assumed there was a little more coherance to the scene, if by the sound of it, you can call it a scene, rather than various scenes.
  19. I think what's really dawned on me recently is that in all too many nights/ nighters of the northern ilk the focus is on collecting and collectors, or even ego's and egoing, rather than purely the music, its probably not as bad as it was in the 8ts and 9ts, when nighters were often allnight record fairs for many, but there's still a sizable portion who never dance and seldom listen.
  20. Boogie? indie soul? club classics?
