  1. Special reissue by who? A boot until proved otherwise for me.
  2. Why would you rather watch Jeremy Kyle? Perhaps you prefer the vulnerable being manipulated, humiliated and exploited?
  3. Does it matter if she was there or not? Like you say you could have ten directors who were there making a film and nine would be wrong in the eyes of the other going by what you say. It is nigh on impossible to make a film depicting how it actually was today. She did a fantastic job getting the look right but it was never meant to represent any one specific year but simply an era wasn’t it? She also had some extremely in the know consultants, movers and shakers at the time and dancers of the time, from which by all accounts she took her lead. Obviously a bit of artistic licence was going to happen as it does on any movie. It is all to easy to sit and nit pick on a forum, we didn’t go through what they did to finance it, go to the extraordinary lengths to get it pretty much right and at least give the viewer an idea what it was like, many have said she managed by and large to do that. It was never going to satisfy some and I don’t think it set out to satisfy everyone, it is at the end of the day entertainment.
  4. Mrs Northern Soul, you obviously don’t know Elaine. She has never made such a claim nor have I heard anyone proclaim that she is such. As fir making a bit of money, if she did, good for her. You obviously aren’t aware of the sacrifices Elaine and Marco made to finance the film. As for your last sentence, that is precisely what it was about for many wasn’t it? To say most didn’t go out and take whatever chemical enhancement they could get their hands on would be telling a few porkies. You can still do that and love the music, many did and some still do.
  5. Dean Anderson & Gez are joined by South Yorkshire connoisseurs of Soul Brian and David Pinches for three hours of quality soul music and chat.
  6. even though something was in a soul pack there might be very few copies. John A said on numerous occasions it was what he had to hand to clear space or two raise funds, slow sellers or records not en vogue. So he might have a handfiul of a title, 20 or so copies, that went in packs and subsequently became en vogue and not really turned up. So what was once a soul pack item isn't necessarily common. Common records fetching more than they should...Ringleaders, Soul Majestics, Ruby Andrews, Frank Beverley.....
  7. Its another guy who was at school with him and sang with him and said he was black He lived 6 blocks from PJdoowop according to one comment.
  8. I always play Lps nowadays the odd time I get behind the decks.
  9. According to the youtube comments, the guy that went to school with Bobby Kline, sang with his brother and Bobby, says he was african american. That seems to be the most credible of the comments, there’s that word again
  10. Been plenty of copies of the 45 over the years but it is a keeper for those who have it or get it. Its no rarer than the Lp really as the 45 came with the Lp. The Lp though is picking up demand as Djs realise it isn’t all ablut 45s and you can play Lps.
  11. Also if you read the comments he is both black and white according to people who knew Bobby. Maybe we have two Bobby Kline's?
  12. I was referring to the wiki page which casts him as a member.
  13. I’ve done the google mate, it tells us nothing practically. Wiki is notorious for false info too. I reckon they have taken him as a member because of his credit on the disc rather than any credible source.
  14. Read the comments for the youtube clip below. Someone says they went to school with Bobby Kline and that he and his brother sang with him. He also states Bobby Kline was African American. His girlfriend or ex also comments but gives us nothing. The comments by PJdoowop are the ones that are the most interesting
  15. Do you have some links Drew!
  16. Another sad loss https://eu.commercialappeal.com/story/news/2019/05/28/stax-mad-lads-vocalist-john-gary-williams-has-died-memphis-music/1258895001/

  19. Reading the main Doowop pages/blogs, they don’t mention Kline as a member of the Ocapellos.
  20. Dunno why as there are 1000s of originals not 200 as some seem to think. There are also plenty of Djs with these so called classic biggies so why the need to compete or add to the count? Are people so incapable of creating something by themselves and not follow the flock. Be the shepherd not the
  21. I think the opposite for any aspiring Dj, grow a pair and use some imagination. You are highly unlikely to get on the treadmill at the top end with all the cheque book Djs about, seek out some of the lesser played stuff. I mean lets face it the only reason many of these records are the price they are is because of so many chasing them in the hope they will get £50 Dj money at the dog and duck, vastly over priced and rarely anything to do with rarity.
  22. Used to be in every sales box in the 80s and 90s, both labels, 100s of em.
  23. @Venus I think posted the video, maybe she can help. Carol's daughter was on backing.
  24. Great photo of the lady that John Anderson posted on facebook at one time...
