They might be on here....

I remember in about 78 and 79 there were actual Teddy boy families with mam,dad and the kids.I always thought that it was odd....i was a kid in dealer boots and an adidas top.The dads always had an exagerrated look from the fifties early teds with grey in their hair, tons of tattoos,loads of rings and Mud style drapes.I'm looking forward to seeng northern soul families on the bus.

If you decided that the scene seems to be lacking and you put on an event and started to deejay wiith the records you have listed above....that seems to be the problem....ie too many Indians with poundland arrows.

Don't the "heritage" deejays feel embarrassed following a "non heritage" dj with a box load of originals.I followed Ginger Taylor on a few weeks ago at The Dome...he stayed on stage chatting etc while I was pulling out tracks.I would have felt a right twat pulling out Soul Fox boots...I love Stoke btw and have only seen a dodgy copy of Jackie Edwards I Feel So Bad being played by Chris King...maybe Kev should have a matrix camera.

He obviously doesn't know what second pressing means and thought he had got s bargain.Jesus....if you are going to get into paying large amounts of money out for records...do your homework....its even worse...he is on here and could have used the search facility..you put 2 nd Press for Petes sake!!

Will take the James Bynum ..what's the PayPal.Thanks

10604 Lexington is a nice family house with a swimming pool and has been that way since 1972

I remember hearing it on a cd Levine played in the car going up to see Kev Roberts to do his radio show...had other stuff on it as well like The Interpretations..Four Vandals etc.I quite like the record.

Northern soul....its patches...its bootlegs...its originals...its big dancehalls...its speed....its uptempo dance music.....its working class...its holdalls....its talc.....its discovering the next new undeplayed or discovered track....and its dancing...including acrobatics.

There were a few of them at the last Stoke...good at the acrobatics....but practicing moves on the dancefloor is a bit much...that's what the mirror and worn carpet is for.

What's the B side of Walkin By by The Boss 4 or The Contenders You Gotta Do.. I'm.sure there's a connection with this thread.

From memory no male vocals.....will dig it out.

I thought he found Gettin to Me in a London record shop.....I found a publishers acetate of I Can't Break The New To Myself ....recorded in the UK on a rare collectable record by The Dakotas on the other side of Spider And The Fly.Spider and the Fly is great freakbeat...I Can't Break The News is a poor cover version.

I've got a one sided Carlin.acetate of this....just has the title and Supremes in pencil....doesn't sound like there's any 4 Tops on it.Wonder if its the same.

Still got that Roots Of a Revolution double lp which compiles all his early King stuff inc a few outakes.His Money Won't Change You has always been a fave and I was very suprised transferring a loads of reel to reels to find a blistering female version.

I'm off to Soul City in Cologne this week ...I don't see it as a northern soul gig or part of the northern soul scene...just enjoyable music.I also love the northern scene with its 40 years of baggage..a scene with a lot of old suitcases to rummage through...two different scenes.

Love some of the pop stuff....its dancers music.Love is a Gamble by Jackie Lee is one that's currently in my head.A mate of mine laughs when I play him rare soulHe's a jazz head.He just says ..its black pop music from the sixties.

I'm off to Cologne again next week...I don't expect a northern soul gig....to me its like The Windsor suite at Stoke.It's another scene entirely a bit like the 80 s rare groove scene in vibe...to compare it to the UK northern soul scene with 40 years of history and evolution is wrong.

Also recorded by Triangle in the Us.

Like them both but the Melvin Parker is right up my street.....
