Is the auction still going cos decided this is one toooooon i just can't miss QOF XX

I'll take the anglo copy

How can I put it - I went to Prestatyn this year on my own, my family live locally so that was a bit easier i suppose. I didn't know one person, got the pass from someone on the forum who is now I hope a good pal, and the feeling in my heart when I walked into the victoria bar and heard that music was "I'm Home" Nothing ever will ever be able to reproduce that moment for me. I dont even think the first time I ever went to wigan was as emotional as I was 15/16 and I didn't realise how important it was at the time to be part of something so incredible. lol QOF XX

Still thinking about it after your cutting remarks in your reply to my question. Next time you could try using these new post-it notes light adhesive, won't ruin your bay city rollers label then, cos i know it's special to you. tee hee QOF XX

Think will put a snipe bid in would realy set off my collection - fingers crossed i may be lucky bin lookin for this for ages:ohmy: All I can say it's a good job it's rare cos won't have to listen to it, if it was the last copy on earth would buy it and make an ashtray QOF XX

I agree with all the comments as above - there is no such thing as an ex soulie,once it's in your heart (or your feet) there is no escape. It's not just the music and the dancing it's about the people and the whole scene, the whole feeling you get at an all nighter, or any night come to think of it if the music and the poeple are right. It comes as a package and their are not many other music genres that are like that or have lasted so long. Shouldn't think there is anyone here on this forum who could put their hand on heart and say that they have never listened to anything else. But what makes you a soulie is that you just keep coming back, the pull is so strong - just surrender to it and enjoy every moment, you know it makes sense lol QOF XX

I totally agree about the attitude always trying to get the younger ones i know to come - took the son to prestatyn and after about an hour there he was on the dance floor and he's not the most confident of people but he realised no one cared what he looked liked as long as he was enjoying himself. QOF XX

A young friend of mine who is 22 and full of confidence and will dance to anything, has been to a couple of small dos locally and last night she was trying to explain to another youngster what it was like - she described it as middle aged people doing "HARDCORE" and she wouldn't dare try it, so they're coming to the next Bedford (ex Kempston) night in june, I hope they get enough confidence to get OOTF. I won't reveal who they were talking about being hardcore cos he's bigger than me and may read the post. (you never know he may be flattered, but toooo risky) QOF XX

Not from me!just better than him thats all. link

I agree with you and if it helps people get over dance floor nerves good luck to them QOF XX

Would advise consulting your GP first and suggest they re-enforce the floor QOF XX

Don't you think there should be an upper age limit on the acrobatics bit say 40 top wack. Or at least a health warning NORTHERN SOUL DANCING CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH QOF XX

Do you think the £10000 postage to me in a la land is a bit steep QOF XX

I have just been given a box of records from an old pal to sort for him. Most of it soul stuff circa 72-76 lot of it is main stream soul/boogie/funk type stuff that I frankly know very little about - do we have a resident expert on the forum you could point me to QOF XX

Probably worth having for posterity in ten years time when reminiscing and someone said I wonder who bought .............. you can proudly say I DID!!! Could go down as the rarest record of our time!! QOF XX

Thanks Martin for sending me the thread needed a good laugh after the day i've had................where's the tissues QOF XX

I always forward them back on to ebay and get same reply, but is there nothing ebay or the www police can trace these guys QOF XX

Got three the same in a day last week - pain in the butt and worrying that some people do not know its a scam. i.e. older people who use ebay or people that are not regualr users and wouldn't know QOF XX

Off Thread again but easier. Are you going to THe Plinston on the 6th May? QOF XX

Only got it on CD missed it on ebay last week really p**sed about that. Now playing Carol Fredricks "Couldn't Care Less" again sadly only on CD. QOF XX

Appols to everyone for being off thread for a mo - but he loved it. He is a Music lover full stop and DJs Dance/House etc, and plays in a rock band. He has just stareted getting into mod stuff and ska (unbeknown to me) and has already decided he's coming again next year. Think he is coming to the all nighter at Llandudno tomorrow with me as well. Thanks for the contacts for passes greatly appreciated. Took my big sis on the sunday and she wants to go again as well - she always was a big soul fan, more of an ottis type follower than NS but still loved it. QOF XX

Although my all time fave will always be Dusty, kim weston and brenda holloway are vg as well, more my cuppa oh and Barbara Lynn singing "you left the water runining" far easier on the old lugs. QOF XX PS RB you're 7 mins early with the St G thingy

I am now nearer 50 than 40 and have heard plenty of AF over the years probably most of it NOT at nighters or NS, but she still doesn't float my boat, just grates on me realy but its only IMO. QOF XX

Doooooooooooooh QOF X

trust me they were'nt spinning amarillo at the time
