Was it on the LP ????????. Russ

I think its about time we all got this in perspective & got back on thread, IL has given his opinion, as have others, dont agree with some of the stuff, do with others.......so lets get back to 'Souled Out' & less of the off topic sniping & the personal attacks from all concerened. Russ

No Russ

I think the film production team are now aware of you Ian, they are obviously not the only people who use SS for self promotion . Welcome back. Russ

I like LF aswell. Russ

Thank you for all the advise (John & Steve) & the offers Bearsy & the offers via PM, I think I'll now sit tight & see what happens...........you guys are great, I very much appreciate all of your help. Russ

That has got to be the funniest post for weeks, Im crying with laughter................ Good luck Nik. Still giggling now. Russ

Thanks guy's. Russ

I have the Rock n Co, but have never heard the changing times..........sound file anyone pse. Russ

Cheers mate, must have missed it. Looking forward to Sunday buddy . Best Russ

Exactly...............its called the x factor.............. Russ

SATIN - Give All Your Love To Me Need this Please. PM me. Thank you. Russ

What a crock................remember Dean spinning this as B & the BJ's & its a superb NS. IMHO of course. Russ

I agree. Russ

Not in 1974 Paul. Russ

Agreed............ Russ

Who's approached the film makers for the after party Allnighter/Soul Night exclusive on the opening Night ...........I'll back next months wages, that the initial discussion has already taken place.................kerchiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg !!!!!!!!!!. Russ n Richard on the line up, posters that resemble the old Wigan ad in Blues n Soul............the media machine of the film industry would almost guarantee the largest attendance at a NS event ever........... Well, good luck to the lucky promoter this could be the 'above ground' NS scenes grande finale...........the big bang.............eeeeerrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmm ????????. Russ

. You need to write a book Rod.............you have a way with words that never ceases to make me smile, thank god for people like your self who can always seem to be able to add a certain amount of proportion, to our some times over passion & romanticised ramblings. Russ

Well to be honest I've had mine some years & was found in the US thats why I wasnt familiar with the pricing of the WD & Stock copies.........but asked the question for those reading the thread, not lucky enough to have paid nothing for thier record collections . Russ

Yes, but if they're used as part of the sound track to emphasise emotion or what ever & not as part of the 'Casino' scenes then I dont see what the problem is, theyre both great soul records, they would never have been played at Nighters back then anyway.............. Russ

Absolutely..............'jumping' the train was part & parcel...........we would jump from the train as it approached Wigan station, then over that wall & you would be holding your breath, as you didnt know if it would be the Bill or the locals waiting for ya, on the other side, you either got nicked or a potential kicking. Even if you managed to successfully avoid that, then as we walked up to station road, it was around closing time for the pubs, so it really was a gauntlet, at the best you got loads of abuse...............but we were the 'special ones' 8 hours on the train & all of that, never once made me think twice, it was all part of the fun & worth every minuit for the magical time we had in WC, in fact its only with hind sight that many of these things, including getting turned over for ya gear by both the bouncers & the big lads & the fact that there were always a large percentage of DS around, even sink in, it was just the norm for a weekend of Northern/Rare Soul. it was about passion for the music, a passion that still burns within me to this day........its why I spend a large part of my life in the pursuit of vinyl, new vinyl mostly, trying to discover a new unheard track or a truly forgotten gem & why Im constantly deconflicting family & work life to continue to pursue what after all is an alternative life style, many of us have lived the life all of our adult life & continue to do so,........................this is why the film has to be done properly, they owe us that much, we & the music have been let down by the media so many times, by selling out & dumbing the scene down to make it palatable for the mainstream, I hope & pray that this film really gives an acurate portrayal of the scene, the music & the times. Russ

Yes, see my post above. Russ

Yep, mines a WD Dave, still has the raised stamp too...........out of interest is there any difference in price between the stock & WD copies ?????. Russ
