The Sonatas on Hot LIne

But does it need to be, thats my point

I only bought it because I remember Mik selling it a couple of years ago and it rang a bell when I saw it on eBay, I actually quite like it though.

happy to Steve but the unregistered is at your own risk - it will be very securely packed. Very securely indeed.

To be fair, the songwriting credits are Manning - Jones

What a load of b*llocks. Cue a record in, put the fader in the right place and then adjust volume to suit, that's all people want unless you're from Mixmag or something. It's not the world DJ championships from Ibiza, it's some pokey back room in a Miners Welfare Hall.

I picked up one of these the other day, it might be my ears but it sounds like a vocal to "Soul Bossa Nova" ???

Thanks Mike. Happy days. It was all classed as Northern then.

have to agree with you, though it would have fit in well with things like Before 2001 back in 1976, maybe one that sounds better loud

That would have been awesome reading if it was actually readable, shame

Yes and that was completely wrong and would have only taken 30 seconds to explain - but we heard from Kev earlier who told them all this, and they cut his comments out, so as Mik says, the people back at the BBC with scissors in hand really do have little or no interest in telling the whole story because they simply don't care.

That's completely wrong, it was everywhere especially in 1975, you couldn't walk down a street without seeing someone wearing a Soul Wolverhampton or Keep The Faith patch, all the divvy kids bought Get Out and Out On The Floor and it I'd say one in three kids was into it, even if it was only for a brief period.

I didn't mean that 100% - I watch practically every BBC 4 music documentary even if I'm not keen on the subject, so I learned a bit about Dr Feelgood, Gram Parsons, Mott The Hoople, Black Sabbath, Glen Campbell and even sat through a Pink Floyd one once. But I just go back to the punk analogy, apparently there was nothing after 1978 there either.

Couple of these that were 'sold' now relisted as they weren't paid for

Yes I can, but at the same time, I understand why they do these programs like they do...simply because they all think it ended in 1981 and nothing anyone says is going to stop that. The golden period of Northern Soul will depend on what age you are - I know many people who went to the Torch who stopped going when it closed and just wouldn't go to Wigan, for them it was all over so they want to see a documentary set in 1972...someone of 45 years old would probably like to see a documentary about post-1981 goings on.

I thought you insinuated that I did. Sorry if that wasn't the case.

No you're right, the day after Wigan closed in 1981 I disappeared until 2001, I didn't write any magazines, swap tapes with anyone, do a monthly list, go to any events or buy any records during that time. I became a Buddhist Monk based in Tipton and took a vow of silence. No one saw me or spoke to me. I had absolutely no ideaNorthern Soul carried on after Wigan and rely on the likes of yourself to fill me in, being f*cking clueless like.

No of course I'm not joking! But I am getting mixed up. I'm thinking of the Inter City Soul Club. The International Soul Club was run by people who had something to do with the Torch and was amongst other things, an outlet for the Out Of The Past bootleg 45's many soul patches

What are you on about, accept what? - I've been on the scene since 1974 and still am, thanks. Here is it's synopsis from the BBC's own page. Note it mentions the 1970's and nothing else. Therefore, I would expect it to be a documentary about what happened in the 1970's, as would anyone else who read it Film about the northern soul phenomenon, one of the most exciting underground British club movements of the 1970s, a dynamic culture of fashions, dance moves and vinyl obsession.

No it's the post of the century. Any advances?

Yeah they were big news at the time, 1974-75, organised do's, attempted the first weekenders, ran 'soul trains' etc. Remember joining and having their sew on patch!
