  1. Found this, probably wasn't lost, but nice anyway, I'll see what else I come across
  2. I never said I didn't like 70's soul, I just don't like a lot of what they call 'modern soul', my bedroom walls were covered in the centre pages of Black Music once I'd taken the Slade posters down...used to love the stuff that got in the charts, played at the discos, I loved most of the uptempo Cleethorpes type 70's dancers, I just don't like the later stuff that Searling was playing, and I don't like the Carstairs simply because I think it's badly sung and just not a very good track. Will that do?
  3. Of course, you can tell by the enthusiasm.
  4. Vintage Al, TopPop, Dutch TV, February 1972
  5. Sorry Dad.
  6. A beauty!
  7. Are you his Grandad or something?
  8. I understand, but why not just play it at an R&B do? This is what I'm not quite getting. If we want to go out and hear Northern Soul - why not play Northern Soul?
  9. There are some saintly people on this site, there really are. Praise the Lord we have such honest people amongst us.
  10. But this music (Ruth Brown) has nothing to do with Northern Soul, you might as well just call them Rhythm & Blues nights and take NS out of the equation altogether. Different planet. If that's what the younger people are into, then there will be no Northern Soul Scene in 10 years time.
  11. These were made at the same plant that did Shrine and Arock, the glue they used must have been terrible, that's why so many of those label's records have a label missing
  12. The problem with Ian's podcasts, and I said this to him, is the fact that there are no track listings, I know why there are no track listings - it's because he wants people to have to listen to them to discover what's on there - but at 2 or 3 hours a time, a lot of people just don't have that much time to listen to the whole thing. If you see a track list you can often work out what's 60's, what's 70's, and therefore avoid the excruciating crossover stuff, but without one, you just have to sit and fast forward and the whole process is too clunky for me.
  13. I was wondering that as well
  14. Well it was supposed to be a concert, I wouldn't have gone but the missus won free tickets, it was in Brum...Candi Staton support act, she was great.
  15. I remember I loved Tired Of Being Alone and especially Lets Stay Together when I was 11/12 years old, I've always liked Al Green and those Hi productions, so I thought I'd listen to a greatest hits set tonight for a change, they still sound absolutely timeless, so my top 3 Al Green's are: Sha la la (make me happy) I'm still in love with you Let's stay together then there's How Can You Mend A Broken Heart... I went to see him a few years ago but was a bit disappointed as he spent way too much time bantering with the audience rather than singing. Great, great artist though.
  16. Not a lot of good now is it, I don't feel the urge to go nesting and scrumping at 53 years and 358 days old.
  17. Only in the sense that I never had a bike...
  18. No, it's Northern...
  19. Again, I agree with you!
  20. The Ballads - I can't see your love - Veejay £2,500 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Northern-soul-45-Ballads-Cant-See-Your-Love-VeeJay-/291092630384?pt=UK_Records&hash=item43c6790b70 same guy has a Johnny Sayles for £700 and a Martha Reeves on TMG for £300
  21. Both are Northern, surely - from an artist that spans R & B, Soul, Country and Pop.
