No I did know what you mean about The Sharonettes, but the vocalist on Love You Baby might be someone like Sherlie Matthews?

Yes, excellent version that

No I'm afraid there is. We all know what it is, just looks as if you don't. Umbrella my arse, my 84 year old next door neighbour would recognise something like Philly Dog Around The World as Northern Soul, he wouldn't say "Hmm, it might be this sub genre of Northern Soul called R & B but it does come under the umbrella of Northern Soul".

Don't agree: the female version of Love You Baby is very good, whoever it is, and it'll be a professional black singer from LA no doubt so not some white cover artist. The remake of No One Else Can Take Your Place is better than the original as well...in my opinion.

Don't bother, it doesn't hold a candle to Open The Door or Our Love...

Yeah I really enjoyed going to Wigan Casino in the 1970's to dance the night away to R & B, I loved collecting R & B records and being part of that R & B clique, you know that underground movement called R & B, in fact there's a film just about to come all about this scene in the 70's, surprisingly the film is called "Northern Soul"...

I have a documentary about the Fame Studios but it's from around 1970 - have any of you seen it?

For £200 I'll teach you how to spell

£100 for this, who, when, why?

I'd love to know when those three records went from being Northern Soul to being R & B...

Gimme two boss lines baby it's r & b time

Because it's got lots of the same digit. I got one recently with four 4's in a row.

Skype

Yes it does

No it's not dummy spitting it's a face to face argument, dummy spitting is making a statement and then walking away

Kinnell thats what I said!

Dunno but they discovered lots of records I'd already reviewed in the 90's.

You could apply that analogy to every record that's ever been released, nobody ever set out to make a Northern Soul record in the 60's, but the records were made, do exist and ARE Northern Soul, latterly. IT was cut as an R&B record by an R&B artist but it transcended that, as did thousands of others, "Baby Love" was cut as an R&B record by an R&B artist but I doubt anyone would be playing that on the "R&B Scene"?

We are, and it's a Northern Soul record, what are you on about Mace with your daft points-scoring comments, there was no R&B scene when this record was discovered and played, it was and is a Northern Soul record from an R&B performer as are Jimmy Robins, "Shoes" etc.

Mate I don't really care if it keeps this topic high on the charts!

Listen I don't mean to be rude but it's been suggested to me by a bidder that people who have no intention of bidding on the item should, erm, mind their own business. Just saying like.

What utter rubbish, it's a Northern record that the "R&B scene" probably didn't even know about until it came out on CD in the 90's.

I will of course take the advice on board, though I'm pretty sure they will both see this topic and can easily contact me.

Tainted Love sure got a lot of people into Northern and even now hearing the intro can send shivers down the spine, what a record...this really is Northern Soul

Not as confused as I am. I can't tell people what to bid, they just make the offer. (Person one asked to keep his bid going to 5500, person to came in with a straight bid of 5500). The bid increment is £100 anyway, so if someone came in at 2 seconds to 6 and said 5520, it wouldn't count.
