    Or we can listen to new and undiscovered sixties northern soul sounds alongside the underplayed instead of sounds from the funk scene/latin jazz scene/doo wop scenes/rockn roll/reggae scenes.I wouldnt go to a jazz/latin night and expect to hear Eddie Parker although i wouldn't be suprised to hear Charlie Parker

    I think it's a great record but there's hundreds out there with the similar sort of riffs......oh yes it's called Deep Funk.It seems northern deejays are getting on the deep funk bandwagon ten years too late and force feeding it on the northern soul scene.A few of these type of records aren't bad but there's deejays who play whole sets of it.I'ts an Emperors new clothes scenario.It was/is still being tried with latino lowrider/doo wop sounds and the latin soul thing.It seems people will play anything to avoid the traditional sounding northern records.I'm waiting for The Damned/Pistols etc to be touted as the new thing then I'm selling it as northern punk. Think I might start spinning this........he's a proper northern soul

    Don't know whether this little documentary has been flagged up before but it's very interesting.....DJ Derek the oldest white reggae deejay.Makes some northern deejays seem young... the man is still young in his head which is all that matters https://vimeo.com/1758371

    Always fancied a wooden box .........all the northern deejays used to have them, a 150 count box. This is the nearest I could find on the net...........don't like all the catches etc on it.Might get my chippie mate to knock one up https://www.reggaerecord.com/en/catalog/description.php?code=200180 .Im sure old Singer sewing machine boxes used to get used.

    Four Tempos-Got To Have You................amazing tune...they outdo the Four Tops on this.This Is The Way I feel aint bad either and both cheap as chips Was it ever spun anywhere as a newie?

    I thought it was a Canadian group and Kev Roberts imported them in bulk.Great record though.Did they do anything else decent?

    Got Moving On by Kenoly.........is this just as good?.Movin on has a late sixties funky feel but not uuuuughhhh ugggh more Baby Boy.

    Detest Just Say Goodbye.....maudlin rubbish. I even dislike the Dave Pike instrumental................but love Catch Me I'm Falling.

    Drake and the you should eat solids-Please Leave Me Sandy and the Pebbles-He's My Kind Of Fellow.............remember ringing Richard Domar up for this years ago.....youre ringing me at the wrong time. Tymes-What would i do Jeanette Williams-All of a sudden Edwin Starr-Youre My Mellow The Ellingtons-Destined To Become A Loser..............definately can't be tagged with the "just right for now" selling punchline.

    An Ian Levine spin from around 2001 .He stuck it on a CD " Sounds Of The Rocket" and it got a few spins there.You might want to try him..... Just listened to it again on youtube where there is a very hissy copy.Still a great uptempo northern soul track and can't see why it should fail in a club and why stuff like this isn't pushed instead of that Dean Barlow rubbish.

    Another one for the Northern Teddy Boys ...........had the boot and got rid.I've heard people are playing The Hermit Of Misty Mountain now.I still have that somewhere (an original) note to self (new ashtray).Wasn't Mason Williams Classical Gas like Esperanto? Carbon Copy https://www.youtube.c...h?v=yTLaSVBQAlI. Ben E King https://www.youtube.c...h?v=AhJpAfeNQgQ

    I'm sure this is a harpsichord instrumental on a white label.....I'm sure it was booted as well yes the harpsichord skip is filling up fast.What was the instrumental on Sound Stage 7.........ah Suzys Serenade.Sounds like Rolf Harris having an eppy on his stylophone.

    Was speaking to a rockabilly at the Kursaal on sat....he goes there's one northern soul record i really love....Emperor of My Babys Heart.....nooooooooooooo stop there. I've made the connection.It's all the doowop loving teds on the scene that like this..you know quiff,hawaiian shirt and baggy jeans mob...It's old fashioned maudlin popcorn rubbish.Had the boot with something else on the other side.Couldn't have it infecting my other records so got rid.......how about these Elvis alikes....Bellboys-I don't want to lose you now ohhhhoooohhh or Dont Let It Slip Away-Ral Donner on Starfire backed by Wait A Minute Now.....Otis Blackwell-Its All Over Me.Not good

    Are those red/blue paper sleeves any good in deejay boxes...or do they keep getting ripped like the ordinary paper ones.Are there any alternatives to the white cardboard Im sure I saw some coloured cardboard ones somewhere.Got loads of them grubby seventies brown cardboard ones.....not nice.
  15. Wiggyflat
    Holly Maxwell-Only When Youre Lonely..............morbid maudlin screech...what was I thinking off. Will be hitting the bay soon if it misses the bin.Do you want to swap it for Lee Roye.? Tim Tam And The Turn Ons-Wait a Minute......got asked for this as a request... what!!...sold it for pennies.I agree that Rosebuds is crap as well.Got loads

    The place is covered in CCTV.Were they stolen or lost though?.If you have proof they were stolen then report it as a crime online.British Transport Police.Get a list of London record shops and visit/send them the list......had a similar thing happen to me about 20 years ago.Deejaying in Kilburn....had a few too many.Taxi home.All records in the house but one box missing.Check everywhere and then try and track the taxi down.Look in the boot.Nothing.....6 months later girlfriend calls me at work.Ive just found your record box tucked into next doors front door alcove.Taxi driver put it there by mistake..I thought i was the drunk one.Also had a nasty episode with an ex who sold/got rid of a load of my records...I was also involved in recovering all of Cat Stevens original mastertapes from a Polish crime gang.....but thats another story.Hope you have some luck.

    Did a house clearance a few weeks ago and found a load of Canadian Beatles Lp's (8 or 9) along with that Unfinished Business Lp.Unfortunately just checked the Pepper and no executives.Found a load of reel to reel tapes as well fom Canadian radio which are marked Doors and Jefferson Airplane. I need a machine that plays these though.....on a soul note there was one solitary single by Eric Mercury.Anybody want the John Lennon Lp???

    Just got these today By Yourself-Jay D Martin (Tower Demo) It Didn't Take Much-Percy Wiggins (RCA Demo) Youll Never Make The Grade-Sunlovers (Yellow Mutt & Jeff) In The Long Run-Curtis Blandon (Wand Demo) Lonely World-Sensations (Way Out issue) Youve Been Leading Me On-Steinways (Tollie issue ) And might get spun this Sat...

    Had something similar on a copy of Determination.I thought the extra £11.53 I had to pay was a customs charge but it was sent by UPS and Royal Mail charged a handling fee of £8.00 and then £3.53 vat. Declared value was $32.00.Any big amounts US wise I contact the seller re declared values before I get stung on import duty etc but this looks like anything sent UPS Royal Mail are asking for a handling charge.They never deliver anyway....I'm always at their sorting office with cards!.

    It is the slower version on minit.Just got rid of my Canterbury boot and reinvested the money into a yellow styrene copy from the US with LR 64811 scratched in the matrix and then C7-C506A-RE.. the other side has 64811-x..I've probably bought another boot!!

    Some people are recreating their youth.Some people are not viewing it as nostalgia.Some people are introducing new genres. https://vimeo.com/16725074

    Loads of talk on soulsource about latin/latin jazz etc etc so it's time there was a thread started.Apologies for some of the scans but they are all from camera phone...this crop are a mixture of pure latin jazz/boogaloo/descargas etc etc...
  23. Wiggyflat
    The UK releases of Ray Baretto-Acid,Louiz Ramirez,Willie Bobo, Cal Tjader,Jimmy Castor-Magic Sax/Hey Leroy....amaze me.Were they hoping for a fluke hit? or aiming at the hispanic community in the UK?.
  24. Wiggyflat
    I'm sure someone said there was a post Wigan one....sold at Maxims??

    Think Jesse Johnson and Something New To Do had their day... Russ was telling me he plugged this for 2 weeks and dropped it when it never took off.Gerri Grainger-I Can Take It Like A Man
