  1. Babies forced into a youth culture by old men (and women).
  2. ....and no talcum powder. It's not a creche.
  3. Been waiting for the volume 4 boxset to drop in price..... https://thesoundofvinyl.com/Outlet/Boxsets/The-Motown-7s-Vinyl-Box-Volume-4/5GSV0I1K0SA
  4. Piles of people pronounce that wrong.
  5. Had a mate who always pronounced the Superlatives as the Super Relatives.
  6. Candi Staton? I've always pronounced it Staten, as in the island, but I believe it's pronounced Stayton.
  7. We Were Dancers Once....And Young.
  8. Wouldn't rush out and buy the album on the strength of either of those two sides. Just washed over me.
  9. Me doing the day job, and receiving my Long Service & Good Conduct Medal from Commodore Morgan, Flag Officer Scotland & Northern Ireland, back in 1993.
  10. That's me on the left with Kev Sowerby, taken sometime in the '90's......
  11. All you need to know here Rick.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_(music_style)
  12. Good for you. Hope this cheers you up, and to keep Baby Boy happy..... My my At Station Road Winstanley did surrender Oh yeah And Ian met his destiny in quite a similar way The 45s on the shelves Are always repeating themselves Cas-ino, I was pissed off when they closed the door Northern Soul, promise to love you for ever more The Top 500, l couldn't escape if I wanted to Northern Soul, knowing I misspent my youth with you Oh oh Northern Soul, finally growing old with you
  13. There is a surgical procedure, an abbarectomy, that involves removing part of the parietal lobe responsible for taste.
  14. Didn't know Harold Wilson was a fan. I can imagine him and Mary rolling the carpet back in the sitting room at No 10 and putting the Showstoppers on the radiogram.
  15. Of course there's a youth culture, it's the sub-cultures that are missing. Northern Soul is a sub-culture that lost its youth tag a few decades ago.
  16. You look a bit blurred Steve, were you drinking?
  17. Did it start bearing fruit as a result of you drip feeding it beer?

  19. Andre looks a lot like a well known Hollywood actor....

  21. Comedy Sale of the Day Records sold and records bought Auctions held and bidding wars fought Astounding what some mugs will pay For the Comedy Sale of the Day. A regular subject for much discourse For many members of Soul Source This daily event, let’s thank eBay For the Comedy Sale of the Day. Perfect condition, an absolute minter With a label fresh off an inkjet printer Don’t believe a word that the sellers say About the Comedy Sale of the Day. You’ve already bid above your max With customs charges and Value Added Tax And shipping costs from the US of A You’ve won the Comedy Sale of the Day. More snap, crackle and pop than a well-known cereal The condition of the vinyl seems immaterial Why list a record that doesn’t even play? It’s the Comedy Sale of the Day.
  22. Dead wax takes on a whole new meaning.
  23. I've crossed over from the John Cooper Clarke thread..... What Did They Wear At The Mecca? What did they wear at the Mecca, was it Italian mohair suits Or Hawaiian shirts and sandals with big wide baggy zoots? It depends on when you went mate, and the fashion at the time Some of the gear they wore there could be considered a crime The sixties and early seventies, the attendees dressed to impress But from the mid seventies onwards was anybody’s guess. What did they wear at the Mecca when they danced to Northern Soul? Unlike the Jazz Funk era when they dressed like Kid Creole With a pair of Sta-prest trousers, brogues and button down shirt on Topped off with a Barathea blazer, made to measure from Mr Burton The lads all looked the part, and the ladies even better You wouldn’t think they’d arrived on the back of a Lambretta. What did they wear at the Mecca, when trouser bottom widths increased? A case of anything goes when the strict dress code had ceased Baggy pants and bowling shirts were definitely de rigueur True to say we didn’t exactly cut a dashing figure Then Punk, Disco, New Romance and Jazzy Funk were upon us And the Mecca crowd looked like they’d shopped in the local Army Surplus.
  24. Ward Sister, nice one.
  25. Astral Trip in the main hall at Wigan.
