Yeah I know what you mean. But even there you've said 'late 60's'. No one (still) has really answered the Tony Galla question thus far ...

Hell you could shove it all under a 'northern' umbrella and that'd just about cover it. But on closer inspection and for the point of discussion I was interested to know more about the early stuff.

Thought this year may come up ... do tell

Pop that's crossed over then ...

Just seems everyone thinks this is the later 60's/early 70's stuff . What about the earlier sixties white stuff that wasn't strictly soul, that was played. How's that classified?

The Principal? Did say 'places like'. May have been later, not sure ...

Perhaps I should rename this thread to a 'memorable year'. Goes without saying there are good times ahead. But nothing wrong with remembering the good times that have already been imo.

Have to be 1985 for me I think. Was going to places like, Peterborough, Loughborough, Leicester, Keele,Trentham Gardens, Buzzard, 100 Club etc. Remember Girl across the street being massive (that's Moses Smith btw, not Jeanette @ # 36 lol). Magnificent Men, Lovin's gone to my head. Hand clapping. Buying records from Rob Smith that had '1.50 worn' on them. Buying the Northern Soul Story Vol 1 - Soul Supply at a nighter before it had been released. A fantastic and exciting time of discovery and wonderment for me and although I know more now and more sounds have been unearthed. I look back to 85' through rose tinted specs and fond memories ...

Wasn't sure if the definition had been fully agreed upon...

Be lost without this site. Particulary at work as this is a respite from the riggers of the working day.

Nice one Ken. Easy on the ear is that.

Undisputed #1 Funkmeister? He's told he is And if anyone thinks otherwise, he says you can pop round and have a fight with him!

Jimmy Trouble is the man for the funk forum, is he not?

Standard version;

Indeed it is and a lot less than £35/£50. You could/should maybe get the book and a record with the change?

These were the concerns, as previously stated. So what does the s.w.o.n.s set cost (roughly)?

Nice. Got a scan? Or a soundclip?

Yeah Matt Bolton said something about this, the last time this was discussed. He also said it looked like they were shot in someone's front room.

Giants wunnit?

So does this mean the SEVENS issue is worth at least a 50?

Ian Sims.

That's interesting to hear Billy. So far reports on s.w.o.n.s ain't been that great to be honest.
