Yep I was talking about "This England" Wigan Casino/////

All depends what the seller puts on the export slip (the green part)…..charges are based on the value declared on that form…..

Big Pants!

Thinking about it, the best portrayals of the scene have usually been local / regional productions (Pete Smith put together a DVD or 3 of them all a few years ago - some great features) rather than prime time BBC1 national ones at 7pm…..I also hid behind the sofa at "This England" when it was first broadcast (8.30 pm) and how it portrayed the scene…..some things never change I guess, although I don't need to hide behind sofas anymore!

"Northern soul"? ?

On it goes....six pages of a "mass shock realisation" last night that....for the vast majority of people the northern soul scene it became a good time revivalist scene many years ago. Dancing, dressing up, memoribilia etc. All that good stuff about "underground", something special / "this thing of ours", secret clubs, discovering obscure records, the mystique of the scene, drug busts etc. left port Northern Soul many years ago now. As for all the "I am shocked at people in baggies / Bay City Rollers clown wear...they are an embarrasment" etc. etc. chat. Wake up, this has been part of the scene for years, go to any of the 50+ soul nights on this Saturday and you'll see it all around you. I honestly don't know where you've all been hiding all this time.....

A hundred reasons.....early 60s there were import controls, if you wanted your record released in the US, then you had to release a US record here....often they took the first one available. But essentially it was either because it was a regional hit, or because someone somewhere thought it had the potential to be a hit in the UK. Radio Luxemborg and Forces abroad radio also played their part. Some genuine soul fans also played their part (Vicki Wickham who ran Toast records for example), and there were plenty of early visitors to the US championing the music back here (Godin, John Abbey, James Hamilton, Guy Stevens, David Nathan etc.) or running fan clubs and writing to the record companies asking for the records to be released. Stateside for example was set up to release American music here. Sorry rushed answer.....running to meeting...

Good point John. News at Ten now - want to see what they have to say on the One show…..and the controversy

Mass produced crap…..not even this so called "Artisan" bread

Cumbrian cheapskate £2.05 apparently for two bits of bread and a few crisps….

How much would you pay for the Crisp Sandwich then?

How were the people on the One Show any different from what you see at the major weekenders / oldies nighters? Just a cross section of people dancing to music and enjoying themselves. Yes the songs were obvious, but that's just what it's like in so many venues these days…..Anyone that doesn't think that is what the majority of the scene is like today, just needs to get out a bit more and witness it….or maybe they don't.

welcome back.

1006 here Ian if you want it…..Sweet rock two sides….

Russ or someone is on record from the 70s saying thats how he got his name…..No smoking….

Someone please post up a reminder on Wednesday, otherwise I'll forget to watch

I have test pressing with "Don't be sorry be careful" MS1017….HDH kept chopping and changing…..don't think it ever came out commercially….unless someone has one….

1017 "Don't be sorry be careful" it is Ian….

Music Merchant 1017 B side Ian a version of Don't be…. be careful" the Laura Lee song? Satisfaction Unlimited on Hot Wax made it to at least a test press.

I must be the only person in the world that cannot hear Velvet Hammer in Pharrell Williams. To me they are two seperate records....is it time for an ear syringe?

it is completely factionalized......50 shades of northern....but as Krissii said (quite fairly) on another thread, for a lot of people (civilians) it is just about an occasional night out with mates and reliving something familiar from their past. Not everyone is hardcore and as passionate as us.
