Well I understyand the sentiment Simon, but the reality is it is a film - and with a film it is never going to be a totally factually accurate representation. Just be thankful it's not being produced in Hollywood with Mel Gibson playing the part of the hero Russ Winstanley pitched against Sam Mendes as the villian playing Ricardo Searlingi. From what I've seen is just about some yoofs in the 70s with a back-cloth of northern soul and chasing "birds" around - nothing wrong with that as a plot - it's not attempting to be a factual reincarnation of the Casino. It's just a film, it'll either be good, watchable, entertaining or it won't. I am not convinced people will see something set in the 70s as being "what NS is all about" today - they don't look at Miss Marple and think that's how people are today do they? There's more risk of them being mistaken about the scene today if they stumble into a Wigan shopping centre......when the annual pantomine is on. Doubt many new bloods will get into NS off the back of this either - if my kids are anything to go by they'll ask "Is that what it was like back then Dad? Ha Ha Ha". But yes we need to get new people into the scene, how? Well that's a different thread..........

It's obviously an old American expression, and yes think Godin used it first on the soul scene......

Nice tune there Brett, never really had it's day. Other side is great too.

Hi Steve - are you happier now? : Steve

From Philly I think but she is a mystery artist......Steve

There's some good tracks on that album, I had the Margo Michaels cut onto a 7. Only problem is it's not long enough......would have liked an extended version......where's Neil Rushton when you need him?

Geoff have pmd ya

Perhaps the bidders thought they were bidding on a 45

first two I am pretty certain - no. fourth one no.

Well I'd agree with that. Yup RX8 still going strong. Can't be long now before it er.......qualifies for a government scrappage scheme.

If I can watch "Life on Mars" I am sure I can watch this.

The style has also changed, peoples tastes evolve too......lots more funkier edged sounds played now. Tastes do change. I think of some of the 80s new releases we used to rave over, they sound dreadful now......

I'd rather not if it meant we had to shell out £2,000 for each box of moldie clapped out oldies.....

Theres good music and bad music, simple as that. Some oldies are cr*p. Some newies are cr*p. Some newies are great, some oldies are great. I understand that a lot of people don't want to hear the same old bores, myself included. And that includes some good soul records - I'd be delighted never to hear Mel Britt again, ever. I am bored to death of it. But I always think that anyone that limits their choice to "oldies only" is somewhat musically retarded. It's the soul scene equivelent of those people that like Status Quo, Phil Collins etc. "because they always have" and despite the fact that acts like that haven't turned in a new tune for at least twenty years. A large part of the enjoyment for me is hearing something new.

Nice one Dave. Just raided my Okeh shelf and found it.

A piece of local news about some school kids learning about northern soul as it was in the 70s. Fine, can't get excited about it, except to say when I was at school it was all Tudors and Stuarts. Good on the kids,I am sure some of their grandparents actually went to the Casino.

Yup all the cash in the world and I don't believe you'll get it.....unless someone has an acetate or something. Steve

aything that can be done with a styrene job that has distortion on it?

Sure is. Happy birthday to your good lady.

Lets put the cat amongst the pidgeons then... Leon bRYANT "Mighty body (Hotsy Totsy)". Casanova "Coffee" Leon Petersen "Don't squeeze the sherm" Cats Eyes "Life" Sammy Davis Jr "Take a chance on me" Ral Donner "Don't let it slip away" Prince Buster Isaac Hayes Connection "Disco connection"

Great guy. Still alive and well in deepest Nawfawk. Catching up over a beer or three at Gt Yarmouth...

Bargain price Dave....and as for the Scott 3 - Steve you need to add that to your list.....Steve

You having a larf surely mate? Description "G" G. Good . The lowest grade we sell. Heavily used record with audible scratches. the record can even jump. There are minty copies about, but admitedly most people that have it won't sell it. As a record it still hasn't had it's day.

AGree with my learned colleagues who say if pitching enhances the daceability then do it. I have one 60s record I pitch at +6 and it sounds great out. Don't pitch if it makes the vocal sound like a Pinky & perky track....

A rare one - a bearded Ady Croasdell And Clarkie at West Hampstead.....in the communal toilet kitchen
