Simsy

Sad news. Rest in peace Tony.

Very sad news indeed. R.I.P Jimmy.

I can't recall what Nick was/is asking for them. Price dependant on size I suppose..

So where did Carl Willingham get his copy then I wonder, does anyone know? Brilliant record imo, best thing I've heard since the Profs.

Not forgetting the Monkey! Goo gee gee gar gar.. The Peanut Duck is the thing to do. Carry on.

Exactly!

I thought his Northern accent was pretty good as opposed to Partridge charter which is Norwich.

Yep deffo a north sarf divide thing I'd say. I did make mention of the soz unusualness during general exiting chats with well know Southern characters Colin Innocenti and Roger Stewart and neither of them seemed aware - unless they were just being 'kind' Oh to be a Midlander/Northerner ..

Well I never, I thought it were the reserve of towie tarts alone. Soft southern nancy's on t'northern scene syndrome again Well that's me all out of nit pickings about this excellent film then. Mr Simsy advises Amazon despatch today, bangers mash dinner a re-watch with soul pals Tuesday.

Ah right, so let me get this straight, first use of the word was by Sooty on this label? Thought soz was more of a contemporary kids text speak type thing

Nice review that pal. Not a nit pick, well kind of a nit pick but they only thing I found odd about the film was the use of the word "soz" in the early opening sequence. If you had said soz to me in nineteen seventy something, I wouldn't have known what you were on about. I smiled when I read your comment that the drug taking was not over done. I say this as I thought the drug scenes were ubiquitous and omnipresent. Though again and as you say mate, we know the reality can be not too dissimilar perhaps on occasion. All about going out and making sure you're gonna have a banging good time! I do think a certain amount of slack is admissible and licence granted with regard to exactly what was was played and when etc. I don't doubt I'd experience similar situations when I win the Euromillions and make a film about the 100 Club, starring Johnny Depp as 'Simsy' 'Not coming to a cinema near you'..

About an hour 50.

I thought it was a really good film, a young lad wants to better himself, get better records, be a better DJ. Perfectly credible, lots of humour and just a really enjoyable well made film. Well done ten out of ten!

He was more upbeat than some of our lot!

And why would you want to again half empty ffs

And very different to the theme of this thread, which is about Northern Soul reviews. Quinvy knows his stuff and I hold him in high esteem. That said it makes me smile that we could f*ck up a cup of coffee when we stroke things to death like this... The passion expressed in the film by the characters, the music, the authenticity... How about a little of that?!

I understand that Quinvy.

Probably because it was directed by an Irishman. Shimmy Marcus and the Editor of The Irish Times moulded together would not know 10% of what Elaine Constantine knows about Northern Soul. In fact I think they need to be told that and now. So I'll crack on with that, but in the meantime maybe pinch of salt with these eejits.

Spot on price above I'd say, but maybe for vg+. I got a VG+ copy for £25 a few years back and sold it. Been trying to buy it back since! Think Ex or better could be nearer a hundred.

Post from Freddie Gorman's son on FB reads as follows; For those who keep on posting about uncle Jimmy Ruffin passing on, he did not pass on. However, he really needs healing prayers right now. And when I say right now, I MEAN RIGHT NOW!!! "ª#"ŽJimmyRuffin"¬ "ª#"ŽWhatBecomesOfaBrokenHearted"¬

Well put it this way, I wouldn't start a thread on Soul Source about it.

Not great news that he is seriously ill, but reports of his passing seem to have been exaggerated.
