Don't think I mentioned the records (they were fine) - noticed you didn't put The Carstairs in your list which got a spin. Thought Winstanley was classic when he slagged the southerners off for playing James Brown.

Yea - listened to it it - the predictable Levine/Winstanley "my records were better than yours" bollox was in there . Yawn Yawn.

Just dig out all your sixties female vocal 7's - flip 'em over & I am sure that is where your answer lies. Sorry Miss Spiteri in the words of Virgil Henry - "You Ain't Sayin' Nothin' New"

Modern & a Re-issue? Could be a tad too many sins in there.

It's very simple really - as my signature has said since the first day of me posting on here. All records were modern once !!!!!!!!!!!!!

To coin an old Major Lance phrase "It's The Beat"

Was just making the point with the "Modern soul sucks" - "if it's not sixties it must be crap" brigade that modern soul has always been part of the Northern soul scene. Truth be told The Brothers is a pure New York Disco record from the mid seventies - if people want to class it as a Northern Soul instrumental that is up to them.

This is where the modern/northern debate always falls apart. There are two types of modern soul to the average northern soul fan. 1. "Modern" - Crap Disco - wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. 2. "Modern" - George Benson, Esther Phillips, Gil Scott Heron, The Brothers etc - 'cos we all know that's not really modern because it was played at all niters so it must be Northern Soul.

I think you will find that Blackpool Mecca was the birth of the Modern Soul Scene - think Sam was still playing Northern when The Highland Room was playing new releases.

In 40 years time Northern Soul will still be Northern Soul. Will a record like Phyllis Hyman "You Know How To Love Me" still be classed as Modern Soul if you are take the general consensus on this topic so far? Bearing in mind that it will be over 70 years old by then.

Would this be the Kenny Burrell/Tim Brown OVO fraternity? or the got it on a re-issue mate fraternity? Threads like this remind of a line spoken by Daniel Craig in The Road To Perdition :- "It's all so f**king hilarious!!"

Ain't that the truth - if you run short during the night - nip to the 24 hr Asda or Tesco - plenty of Northern Soul compilation CDs there in the audio department.

Think the "Soul Police" would say OVO - then temper that with reasons why carvers, EMIdiscs etc are acceptable. Personally it doesn't bother me anymore - nor the thousands of people who have danced to a Frank Wilson re-issue over the years. The scene has never been "pure" - & never will be.

Uptight - Nothing's Too Good For My Baby - Angel Baby - I Want My Baby Back - Livin' For The City - All I Do - Another Star - Pastime Paradise etc. etc. etc. C'mon Pete you,ve got to like some of these!!!!!

I take it you mean as a live act - not some of the wonderful stuff he has done in the studio over the years.

As long as that plate is not a carver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the problem is if you start playing CD only tracks on a CD player - the best place to play CDs I've always found. tell you what Ill just burn the tracks I play on to one - Which is exactly the same as playing a carver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Newday - Wait a minute - On Top £12 Somebody buy this - fantastic group sound - best 12 quid you will ever spend!!!!!

Collecting & DJing are two seperate things. Nobody on here is ever going to convince me that a carver has any more credibility than a track played off a cd where the only "legitimit" release of the track is on a cd. If you crave a certain track that you must have it so badly that owning a carver of it is the only option then that is fine & dandy for your own use but please DON'T DJ with them.

Yes - if a forward thinking promoter has a CD deck in the rig he provides. Or is that too simple an answer.
