Why does the footage of Whistle Test and Morecambe look great even 30 years later and the footage from.yesterday look as though Poundland and Billy Smarts Circus had done a Co production film on Northern.

The take the old duffer down the pub scene appeared cooler...I swear I saw a woman who looked as though she was a character from a shortbread tin on there....it's like a northern Mud or Showaddywaddy.

Will take this Mr blue...tried messaging but not getting through.

I'll stick with Downton Abbey...you are not aware of the other non baggy non oldies scene the cool youngsters are involved in.Not to be confused with the English baggy youngsters.

Stevie..don't think that you read my post properly...that is exactly what I was saying..there are sussed,smart young kids doing it in their own way without having to dress up in seventies bags..who are passionate about collecting and deejaying new discoveries in their own way.The saviours are not the kids dressing up.

What happened to So#@ty.Wasn't the mystique of this music that you had to go and find it..and that it didn't come to you.There seems to be quite a few zealots who think that it will disintegrate if we don't encourage 12 year old in their dad's clothing from Jan 11 th 1976 to take it over.The real cool kids are forging their own unique take on it collecting rare original records and have their own smart clothing style.Meanwhile the kids that are lauded in the UK are copying a style from the seventies.Just like Mud and Showaddywaddy were a grotesque parody of the fifties. The best tv pieces were Morecambe...proper deejays John Vincent and Searling talking about the music...Bobby Herb You Want To Change Me.I Still Remember The Feeling...Whistle Test...Ady about finding records...Magic Touch etc.These people should be contacting Mick H,John Poole,Ted Massey and some of the proper young deejays Pogson,Maslin or even for a European slant Marc Forest or Matt Fox.

I'm sure I have a Barbara Acklin Love Makes a Woman along with a Billy Butler Come On Over both pulled out of a San Francisco shop in 1999.

Two scenes....more like 8 scenes.The X over young smart European scene into original records ie funky early seventies and a bit of rnb...progressive people,northern oldies events now populated by baggy trouser wearing late forties onwards people playing the same old records on originals,local events playing boots,ex mods and current mods with their r nb and mid tempo soul nights.Rare soul nights...expensive originals....I just want uptempo northern soul Inc underplayed and newies.

mmmm

Spares of Blues And Soul would be interested in copies of Black Music, Northern Noise/Posters or memorabilia (old tat) and my missing numbers.....it makes a change from deltics and brush fours or even Delta stamps.

Wanted.VG Condition or above....,pm me with your price.

Who remembers Dave Evisons soul mugs? There was a period from the early eighties up until 87 or 88 when the tat became minimal.I then remember Dave Evisons soul mugs being sold in the back of Echoes.I think this was the Tats return.This stuff goes with the photoshop owls and hearts.There's even a Facebook patch now.... 20 years time.Yep was online that day that The Snake was posted.It was a great night on the keyboard.Ktf...Koko...Wtf!

Im after this awful record and posted up a want recently.Where are those plenty copies?

I paid £320 for my Betty Lloyd about two years ago. I would have happily paid £200 for it but i just couldn't find it any cheaper and i do research before i buy hence me finding out about the Jesse Davis.

Coincidentally Ive just uploaded a load of footage inc Brenda at Shea Stadium supporting The Beatles.....go to 40.00 she does I Can't Help Myself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_MHEmEt2hE&feature=youtu.be

I mentioned this a few weeks on the biggest price drop thread.I contacted him about 6 months ago.He had some mint copies but sold them and the rest all have bubbles.He said he was selling them for his brother and there was a boxfull.Can't see why he should stop selling if he is getting $700 per copy.Money talks. https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?pagenum=1&searchtext=jesse+davis+hang+on&incldescr=&sortord=ddate&thumbs=&currsel=

Toad most of the mods don't even understand that the mod scene carried on in the mid seventies.The same ethos new black music and scooters.The 1964 look and the suedehead look was dropped because that was retro...The scooter was a Gp..New!! and the music was uptempo northern.It was only in 79 with the southern revival that the sixties mod look came back.It is funny how when other scenes implode ie the deep funk scene the deejays jump over.James Trouble for one and a host of ex mod deejays bring the funk,r and b and Latin.Great music....but keep the scenes separate.Apologies for no paragraphs I'm tapping this on a train.

I'm open to all sorts of black music to be played on the scene and really look forward to going out to northern soul events and being enlightened to r and b.I can't wait until these enlightened deejays open my mind to Bolivian nose flute soul.It's got all the earthy qualities needed.It's not like the early pan pipes sound which is far too earthy.When I go out I want to dance to it all under the northern soul Umbrella Pharrell,TopsyTurvey,Crass,funk edged soul,ska,early Charlie Parker style bebop,Cajun and Zydeco,UK preduced Library music oh and if there's time for a late sixties obscure soul record it would be appreciated.

What's happened to Sooty????

It's a blues record of course.I love all these r&b records but personally I don't see them as part of the northern soul scene...these were the records that Sandi Sheldon and the uptempo stuff were breaking away from.All of the r&b records wouldn't have been out of place from The Wheel/Scene Club/Last Chance etc and are grittier.Mod music for people in skinny trousers and suits into the sixties style.Northern Soul ....it's not hard.Uptempo late sixties Soul based on the mid late sixties Motown Sound.When it goes wrong is when it's trying to teach old dogs new tricks.Now Capitol Soul Club explained the southern revivalist mod movement from the early eighties.....Shmon-Mr Dynamite,Im Your Breadmaker,Shake Your Hips,Don't Start Crying Now etc etc are the r&b records that they got off on and these style of records are what the Southern Mods took with them when the mod scene imploded and one half went soul and the other half went psych.Now the northern mod Scene pre Quad (which had been an ongoing movement and progressive)and before the southern Mod Revival were into the full on uptempo northern sounds....ie your Sandi Sheldons,Terrible Tom's,Joe Hicks etc etc. Here's Bob Monkhouse from 73......when R&B was not on the radar for mods but northern soul definately was.

Nate Evans and Mean Grean.....Nate Evans and Bus...Im sure Mean Green is the dimply vinyl boot.

More importantly who plays the spoons on it...can't be Clive Dunn.

Just for you Ian Scarborough 1971

I had a good conversation with Mani about the scooter scene when I saw Domino Bones.Definitely knows his onions and a lambretta man...still into Dellortos.I've the mid seventies scooter scene footage in colour from super 8.Scarborough 78,Southend 78 and 79.Definitely a northern thing before Quad.
