I think they are all radio stations, it continues on the back with more regional stations

The thing is, you mention Roger Eagle and how he became disenchanted when the faster style records became more popular than the R&B that he championed, but then you say that the R&B that he championed in today's context should not be championed by the latest generation of soulies because it's not 'proper' Northern Soul. As for the term Gay Disco - why is this ignorant and redundant, a lot of 70's disco records are exactly like that. Shit disco records. People love throwing the word ignorant around don't they, it makes them seem more intellectually superior to us mere mortals who dislike gay disco music.

Very slightly outbid on a very reasonably priced copy of this on Ebay couple of days ago. Surprised everyone missed it

Yes but what's your point?

That's what I was saying, though not so aggresively.

It would do though, it sounds totally different on a cd made from master tapes than a 40 year old mono single, let alone on a download

I LOVE downloading my music, though I wouldn't if I had to pay for it, I don't mean chart albums I'm talking about rare, obscure and interesting deleted music from blogsites; I've got 27,000 tracks in itunes, and no, I know I'll never listen to them all but I put it on random and listen to an hours worth every day and I've heard music that I would have never, ever heard before; I'm still being educated music-wise at the age of almost 50, today I've heard blues, bluegrass, reggae, garage rock, psychedlia and tomorrow I'll hear another 30 or 40 tracks I've never heard before. That is my listening pleasure and it's got nothing to do with the thrill of having records on 7" vinyl, that to me is a totally different, more personal thing and always will be. But I don't know how anyone can knock having too much music!

Brett actually all I wondered why you decided to mourn the demise of vinyl now when it was a decade ago that it disappeared, and more imprtantly, I'm f*cking worried now that you know my every movement on soul source

well those kids and women tend to run ...

No, I thought of it straight away but wasn't sure if you'd get it so I had to simplify it just in case...

Not saying there aren't, but how many people apart from the vocal minority on here, would want to hear them out as opposed to traditional sounds? You say, or some people say, that R&B is getting too far away from what is known as Northern Soul - but to me, the 70's sounds (not all of them obviously) have got nothing to do with the music I fell in love with, the real 60's soul sound...thats all...I don't like it because it's not Northern

Breaking news...man lands on the moon...

Northern appeal to whom though?

It's just being tugged both ways as far as I'm concerned but rhe R&B is the real roots of the music we know as Northern Soul whereas crossover and modern could be subtitled "where it all started to go wrong" and the sound is so different to 'traditional' Northern that people are having to go back further and further. Ten years ago I'd have laughed if anyone said they'd be playing 50's records - now I can understand why. I don't think you missed them being played, I never heard them either, but I think you would nowadays.

Loads - but you need to speak to the experts.

Well it's not the f*cking 70's or 80's is it? All the new discoveries are coming from 1958 to 65 and so it should be. What the hell has any 80's music got to do with Northern Soul?

Oi that's slanderous! That's saying I take 66% when it's actually 15%. Thanks.

It does, thank you, but all the while thats happening I won't be able to use paypal so I bit the bullet and paid the ten quid!

F*ck knows, where do I check? If I have no money in there (paypal) it comes straight off my bank debit card.
