they may have had a wider more commercial appeal but as a dance scene it's still underground...it's hardly your saturday night clubbing scene is it?

this is the one posted on here some time back....

mass market? theres only 300 to 400 hard core nighter goers and probably only a few 1000 on any given weekend attending soul venues, hardly mass market. far more attending years ago when it was underground. un·der·ground ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ndr-ground) adj.

I was just about to say he doesn't get out enough till I saw your reply Andy

Sure will anyone got anymore cover ups for Shane

Roger Banks has it now, or he did. He plays it occasionally. Its on site....just search for Charmaines.

Gypsy by Ellen & Shandels does exist, it's on La Salle. There was one on JM auction.

It is. Tempos - Debonaires on Soul Click Honey & Bees - Tina Roberts on Security Sammy Campbell - Out A Sights on Saru (Rest Of My Life) Don Ray - Monorays on 20th Century Fabulous Impacts - Moments on Hog. At that time only the un-credited studio acetate existed, no issues known of.

I will Supremes...Soul MOR pop most of their output IMHO Anyway most of us like the old arguements But does anyone really give a shit what anyone else thinks? as long as I like it I don't care what anyone else thinks same for you and ypour son I would imagine? I'll debate or argue, whatever, but at the end of the day it's me alone I have to please...unless I'm Djing of course Glad to see your leading him down the right path though

Keb Darge Floorfillers, Echoes mid 80's.

Sam Williams quality mate

have seen a couple since I did that list for Andy. A friend since got one bit cheaper than usual asking price too

might not be worth bootlegging but it's still worth £300 to 400 quid

add at least another nought to the 100 can be misleading title or description really

Sid Jones had a copy on Saturday.

$900 was july 2004. was one on ebay in November for $417 and a few months previous for $545.

agree with your comments. Have seen/heard some DJ's play some fantastic records but unfortunately the way the set was put together it just didn't work, didn't flow etc so would be like you say pretty misleading to how the night went.

trouble is not that many venues that don't play played out oldies very few that cater for the leser known side of the scene many playlists I see would make me think twice about some venues so tend not to take much notice of them. If you are about on a regular basis you tend to get to know the dj's on the scene and what they tend to play. Normally I can make my own judgement from a flyer as to what to expect regardless of what the promoters promise

seeing records like that on a playlist, as good as they may be would put me off going to a venue unfortunately. Heard them a million times and no wish to hear them out anymore.

Hmmmmm.....tough one this. First one definately never chnages, but the rest can change like the weather but here goes for now.... 1. Tommy Ridgely - My Love Gets Stronger - International City...simply awesome! 2. Mello Souls - We Can Make It - Mello..the epitome of Northern Soul, rare as hens teeth, uptempo manic black soul dancer. 3. Diane Lewis - You Ain't Got A Chance. Again what Northern Soul is all about to me, great dancer. 4. Billy Hambric - She Said Goodbye/I Found True Love - Drum. Two great sides, both classic Northern! 5. Jean Wells - With My Love And What You've Got - Calla. F*cking great dancer

and here's me thinking it was already well known been about and played for years

Seen it recently out in a box for £250. Personally wouldn't pay more than £250/£300 either, just demand hiking the price if it is any more, seems to be up for sale on a fairly regular basis and getting over played too IMO
