Hi Geeselad, Is the flip on Joyce Kennedy HiFi or good girl?

Never knew or met The Big Bub, only heard about him from Stuart Cosgroves book. Seems like he was certainly a character on the scene who met his fate no thanks to Thatch*r. I really hope this is one of his 45's it would be a fitting tribute. RIP Bub

Ben Sherman lost their way years ago. Granted in the 60's/70's they may have been relevant but since selling out to overseas manufacturers they lost the ethos of the brand. The Paul Weller collaborations a decade ago were ok but of recent times the way to go is DNA Groove or Mikkel Rude - decent collar rolls and interesting checks, Ben Sherman just offer boring patterns and tent sized shirts. If this was any other designer people would be screaming sacrilege for relating it to the northern soul scene. As for 'keeping it real' for not being professional, that's just ridiculous. If they want to make a few quid dancing for a brand then good luck to them! Most of the clobber in the vid is absolute shi*e like

It's the Numero reissue that came free with the compilation in 2011 isn't it?

Another by Willie Harper

2004 release I think, goes for decent money

Exactly, apartheid has always been associated with South Africa but for some reason the USA has escaped the accusation

For a short time he did, as did Stokely Carmichael but he also said this: To be honest Malcolm x's (and the nation of islam) views have never sat well with me. The black power movement is much more multi faceted than the white power movement which has always been in favour of segregation and oppression by violent means. The black panther movement never supported segregation. The black power movement may not have been perfect and had internal differences of opinion but the ku klux clan, national front or Nazis they were not. IMO that's why I don't think they are comparable.

Black power is not separatist or racist. It is for the social and political empowerment of black people who have been subject to racial prejudice for centuries. It's not black supremacy or hatred of other races. White power is the call for separation of the races and the ideology that other races are inferior.

You can't seriously compare the two. Black Power acts on self love and equality, the other on hate and supremacy.

This was from a few years back now....

If they are playing good music then does it really matter? To say that if they don't use the Mic then they shouldn't be dj'ng is a bit harsh. Let the music do the talking, if someone is interested in a selection they can ask the dj about it. Personally i find chit chat between records boring, old hat & slows up the night/atmosphere. I don't doubt it had it's place once upon a time but not nowadays.

Most decent mixers will have a split cue that visually shows the sound level on each channel. Not sure what headphones you have but my sennheiser headphones would wake the dead if cranked up full!

Towanda Barnes is bl**dy good price for someone!

The only events I attend are ones where the dj now swears upon the manship bootleg book that only ovo is played. Slow night but at least I can sleep xx

Maybe old John is too busy kicking the telly at not getting the Frank Wilson acetate?

Surprised people didn't know this already? The blinkered world of Northern Soul I guess!

Ahhh scooter rallies, now I understand

My opinion is it's bloody terrible, sounds like the flipping osmonds if you like it then fair do's, that's entirely up to you

10 days left to go too! £289 so far for a broken record Cheatin kind

It was relisted and sold for £45

By The Jackson Vol. 5!!

This is a Taiwanese Motown LP from 1969/70. The sleeve is actually thin paper with a plastic inner and outer bag rather than being laminated, terribly printed as well. How this ended up in a car boot in north wales I do not know!!?

This has been pipeline for nearly three years - the publisher keeps putting the release date back, let's hope it comes out this time as promised - it looks like a cracking read!!
