He must have skipped the Temptations.

Just got 1, 2 and 4 off Amazon for less than £25 for the three.

Can anyone confirm that the "Unknown Female" credited with "You'll Always Be In Style" on Volume 4 is The Ad Libs?

Got my iPod on Shuffle Play and Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy has just come on. Is my iPod inspired?

This thread has changed into All About The Brussoul. Should be in Members Sprouts.

Talking of hairstyles, can anyone remember the fashion for having the sides dyed blonde. That was definitely 80 / 81.

Believe it or not Manus, the guy went on to become a Royal Naval officer. Says it all really.

Great photos Barry. I'll have to see if I can find the ones I took on my old Instamatic.

Back in 1978, not long after I joined the navy, another lad in my mess was also on the scene. What few records we had between us we kept together in a single box and would just play each others sounds. One weekend the other lad took the box home. When he got back he told me that the box had been stolen. Whether this was the case or not I'll never know, I had little choice but to accept his version of events as I couldn't prove any different. The fact that he didn't offer to compensate me pissed me off, given the fact that he'd "lost" them. I wouldn't have accepted anything off him, but it would have been nice for him to offer. I don't know to this day if he was telling the truth, but I never trusted him again.

Magic Barry, you'll have to do a reveal for all the SS members. I'm guessing you had access to her phone prior to the conversation. Only way to explain it.

Seasons best to you and your team Mike, and all members.

It may be a good idea to invest in an ultra violet marker and light for your prized vinyl. I know it won't stop thieves taking them in the first place but it will be easier to prove original ownership should the vinyl resurface. It is a shame anybody should have to do this on the scene, but obviously there's a few light fingered f*ckers out there who think nothing of betraying peoples trust in them.

Anybody who would steal from a mate is lower than a snake's belly.

Ain't No Danger is on Northern Soul's Classiest Rarities Vol 1. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Northern-Souls-Classiest-Rarities-Vol-1/dp/B00005M08S I Can't Get A Hold of Myself is on The Northern Soul Story Vol 1: The Twisted Wheel. https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Northern-Soul-Story-Vol-1/dp/tracks/B000RB6UUQ/ref=dp_tracks_all_1#disc_1

Looks like there's going to be a few surplus Barbara McNairs about. Got my missing Marvin Gaye from Universal on Monday but it only came in a plastic sleeve. Don't know whether to keep the spare BM or sell it on.

Do most of my listening to JazzFM in the car, so all this about four other ways to listen to it other than DAB is bollox.

Agreed, I've heard it regularly in the last year well before the video came out.

Amazon are currently selling a double CD and DVD box set for £5. The DVD features the short film Function at the Junction and the documentary Way of the Crowd. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Northern-Soul-Various-Artists/dp/tracks/B00AZGKGOE/ref=dp_tracks_all_1#disc_1 Would make a good stocking filler.

Just seen the download code up for sale on ebay with a starting price of £4.99. At least the seller does stipulate it is only the download and not the actual vinyl. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NORTHERN-SOUL-MOTOWN-7s-RARE-AND-UNRELEASED-VINYL-MP3-DOWNLOAD-/251405991902?pt=UK_Records&hash=item3a88f6ffde

Nice one Barry. I was expecting to get some interesting background information on the group. I'll have a smile on my face every time I hear that track now.

I just look at the pictures now.

It's what's commonly known in the medical profession as Beer Ear (Tinnyitus).
