    Just a cover version done to milk the scene

    But Soul Bros Inc and Eddie Parker are not Northern Soul records, well they weren’t recorded as Northern soul. They were however accepted by the Northern Soul scene, given wider prominence and rescued from failure and obscurity by the Northern Soul scene, a scene that has accepted just about every popular and not so popular musical genre going.

    Think we will agree to disagree
  4. Chalky
    Oh they are and probably just as divided

    There isn't a club worth walking to now. Everything was new and exciting BITD. Now its the same old same tired records trotted out at every venue.

    Whilst R&R and C&W are not pure, they take others, R&R various forms of black music as well as C&W to make Rock & Roll. C&W also took various forms of music to make the one identifiable genre. Whereas Northern Soul didn't take and infuse or mix genres, the genres within Northern Soul stayed separate, pop records were still pop, R&B still R&B soul still soul and so on. That's why Northern Soul is an umbrella term for one scene encompassing various forms of music.

    This weeks show features special guest Crewe's Martin Meyler and a 3,2,1 from the North East's Allan Coney.

    I am with the others and disagree, it is made up of various catagories, Northern Soul is the scene IMO which encompasses various genres of music.

    I guess she is focusing on the struggles of the majority of us growing up, yes I know not everyone struggled but most of us were working class and we all happened to follow a genre of music whereby the vast majority of the artists struggled with so many obstacles in their way to a better life. You should all offer your services and be interviewed if you feel so strongly about the subject or leave her to get on with it.

    I was watching some nature program and it said a woodpecker wraps it’s tongue round it’s brain or summat like that when knocking on the tree etc to protect it, stop it from bouncing round the skull.

    Whilst that is true, many records that are not as rare as many think have fetched a vast sum. Probably seen more Tomangoes and Magnetics in recent times than Cecil. It is still one of the scenes greats and thats what attracts many, not the rarity.
  15. Chalky
    But not rare and in collections is pretty irrelevant when it comes to all time classics and especially one such as Cecil Washington. Logic goes out of he window and it is a Dj must have. We see examples on a weekly basis where he price defies all logic.
  16. Chalky
    If Magnetics is £7k then this will be something similar IMO. Scene changer of a record at the time, truly superb. It has everything for the dancer really.

    I was going by the date when I checked on Discogs
  18. Chalky
    It's clearly a fake/home made acetate. Capitol Magnetics Winchester plant wasn't opened until 1974, the recording is from 1970.

    You are right you can’t, how they deal with it is how they can be praised or criticised

    Time promoters went back to memberships, I think Sian at Rugby has.
  21. Chalky
    There has been far more copies offered privately, lists, Facebook, soul source etc, it has been up for sale somewhere on a pretty regular basis. Most dealers no longer use ebay. If some fool is willing to pay that much for a record that in the scheme of things is pretty common then more fool them, no wonder the market is buggered.
  22. Chalky
    DoS, really? It isn't even rare and to see it fetching almost twice the price of Jimmie & The Entertainers, well the lunatics have certainly got out today. Wee far rarer and it almost eclipsed that.
  23. Chalky
    This weeks show see's Dean's show being presented by Charlotte and Jordan with two hours of great music and banter from them both.
  24. Chalky
    When the acetate first arrived three cuts were done, I won't referring to these but later cuts.
  25. Chalky
    It is unissued on a 45 and only exist on an acetate which is a one off, those one sided things are bootlegs
