    Im going to play Friggin In The Riggin at our next do ....always wanted the Pistols to have a northern soul record

    Can you ask your mate which weekend or particular night was the cut off point for proper northern soul/not proper northern soul so I can have a new shelf description for my 45's. check the old blues and souls playlists and fill any gaps.

    Paid £150 for mine on a demo.......issues are a lot harder. https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?pagenum=1&searchtext=carol+and+gerri&incldescr=&sortord=ddate&thumbs=&currsel=

    Nick(Lockstock/Joe Meek) Moran turned up at the Rocket...let him in free but his mates paid.Little did he know just around the corner was Meek's old flat.Dale Winton was/is into the music and was at the Rocket.Didn't John Peel visit Wigan for a radio show.I have deejayed soul at a private party in Waterloo at a gallery and John Entwhistle turned up....does that count. He was a nice bloke and drunk courvasier like it was going out of fashion.Seen a picture of Anna Ford at Wigan and that Eric Knowles bloke.Richard Searling ex producer of a pre Joy Division band Warsaw has known to deejay as ex KRS 1 member Chris King.

    Heres a load.Not sure which is the rarest. I have a Holly Maxwell Only When Youre Lonely autographed demo as well.Bought it by mistake....I wanted Thats Not Love.....even Bearsy might like some of these...maybe not!!

    Will give the other podcasts a listen.....

    Thanks for the link and gave it a good listen....I'm afraid I'm not upfront.The Ralph Jackson was great,Johnny Praye is amazing (I knew that one anyway),the King Cobras was good,Harvey Scales Trackdown not bad,Wally Coco is great (knew that one).I thought the Clay Brown was poor.There are too many mid tempo records for my liking.The beat is missing!!! I can see why the oldies fans won't crossover.It is mostly good music to listen to at home but not my cuppa t when I want to dance all night.Heres a mix I did for youtube.This is more my cuppat. .

    Can I have a list of the 10 biggest Upfront current sounds to listen to and I can decide whether I'm oldies or upfront.

    I'm assuming that some originally came out on black and were reissued on orange and some had their first release on orange.That Lp with Change Your Ways came out in the UK on a green label LP and that oil strike vinyl....you can bend it in half. Man Without A Woman-Michael and Raymond.Willie Kendricks came out on a 3 track boot a lot later.Must dig that green label lp out....always thought it was a duffer apart from Willie's track.

    Love the latin....don't hear much of this sort of stuff though.
  13. Wiggyflat
    Got a copy of this with Pep written on the side.....not even checked if its a boot or original yet.

    "No boyo you get off "t" Austria and Berlin with them there opened minded music policy with young uns" me I'm checking the Trade Martin Matrix

    Was this ever issued in the UK...I'm sure I heard it came out on Stateside.A mod scene spin from 85 for Dom Bassett

    How about separating the real deal from the pretenders and promoters sticking on the flyer ovo only so punters can see instantly that they are attending a venue with integrity whether it be popcorn/northern/latin or whatever and how about a plug for soulsource....we get over 200 punters sometimes and about 5 read soulsource.

    Ronnie Walker-Its A Good Feeling thinking it was the Falcons song....I wish!

    I think years ago there were very few alternatives and you had to really travel to hear the music and it was uptempo sixties until the Mecca stuff and look at the uproar that caused....now there are about 20 different varieties under the umbrella of northern soul and it's all been diluted.Ebay/internet/films/press/CD's has blown the mystique it once had.You can travel to five different nights and get 5 different variations. I had to start a night up in the south east as in my opinion there wasn't a night that played traditional northern soul and I'm not just talking hammered oldies.A lot put northern soul/rare soul/boogaloo/latin but that's not what I was after.I do think you have to set your stall out and be blatant on the flyers.I knocked up a youtube vide of the sort of stuff i spin....nobody can be under any illusion when they come and start asking for Doug Banks etc.As for a nantional weekly large niter...there would be 700 dj's and 5 dancers and 1 dancer on the floor at a time due to the different varieties.

    Love all of this music.........but it has no place on the northern soul scene.Im going to push the boundaries and dig out my Funkapolitan,Animal Nightlife,Working Week,Morrisey Mullen and Light Of The World records out and claim it's the new thing.I'm not sure if some people on here are actually into northern.
  21. Wiggyflat
    I'm Your Pimp-Skullsnaps.....dated badly.. pimps just don't do it anymore I Can't Help Lovin Dat Man-Ila Van.........It's the boobity boops that grate I've Got To Have Your Love-Pierre Hunt....the backing singers sound like they have just finished singing The Generation Game
  22. Wiggyflat
    Shep-Im sitting In.....the Val Doonican of northern Give the dog a bone......female vocal with dog yapping noises. I have blotted the artist out of my head. Lisa Miller-Loneliest Christmas Tree......come on who broke these sounds. Im now getting sick of The Cheater as well....two times at IOW...oh dear.Murdered under the patio...
  23. Wiggyflat
    Issue of Barry for me and a yellow Joe Brown demo....Im running for cover as I have about 20 in that list.It's a British thing.That Bill Kenwright is one of the worst vocal performances I have ever heard...no wonder he got into Theatre. Someone actually played Hang On by Vick Flick...this is a substandard Booker T sort of sound. Am I the only one that doesn't like L Allen Cant We Talk It Over.Reminds me of Arthur Mullard and Thora Hird on a duet or John Shuttleworth on the hammond.
  24. Wiggyflat
    Joe Browns version is just that bit better than Bensons.Can't we name and shame the deejays who broke these sounds...still can't believe Chase Side Shoot Up was played at the Torch.
