A couple of songs I have heard recently,  a vocal version of Frantic Escape by the Innocent Bystanders and a version of Shing-A-Ling by The Cooperettes, with different lyrics and Artist. Any idea what the song titles are ?

In Australia in April, and did the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk. Stopped for drink at a beach cafe and Make me yours by Bettye Swann was playing.

Heres a few I remember from those days

Paula Parfitt - Love is wonderful.

Dobie Gray - Out on the floor

Chuck Wood - 7 days too long

Weakspot - Evelyn Thomas

Where is the love - Betty Wright

The Flasher - Mistura

Moody Woman - Jerry Butler

+ anything off Jumping at the go go  and Motown chartbuster albums.

Used to go to the Fleet on & off from 1979 to 1986, Remember the Modern sounds, Independant women - jan Jones, How can I tell her - Curtis. My baby's got  ESP -  Four below zero. Even heard Searching - Change and Never too much - Luther Vandross played. Went to one of the modern dos upstairs @ the pizza place, the sounds were great but don't remember it being well supported.

Some Peterborough & EASC badges. I will try and dig a few more out.

Excellent read lots of memories there,and a good overview of the scene post Wigan.

Heard The Fascinations 'Girls are out to get you'  in M&S in Peterborough  a few weeks ago. 

Blimey some pretty harsh words for a film that hasn't actually come out yet...  come on boys, and Landy Bug especially, get a bit of perspective... and respect, the makers of the film surely look at this thread, very down heartening to see comments like the above on an artistic endeavor they have put their Heart and soul into, you try to interpret something as complex as 'Northern soul' in any medium; writing negative comments is about the lowest.

 

If you see the film and dont like it, well write a review and we can debate that, but dont judge it till you have seen it.. As for the music, I think were all agreed the selection cant be faulted, not one single dog, in fact every track is a serious Northern soul track, except of course the Artistic's version of 'Chase is on' is far superior to Johnny Howard.. and I know I'm not alone on that one either..

I prefer the Johnny Howard version myself, but like The Artistics too. Talking of The Artistics ,Hope we have is a great track.

Looking forward to The Film, I am sure it will show the scene as we remember it in the 70s.

Thought Paul Masons doc for the Culture show was refreshing but the One Show not so, but still better than the cringe fest on the Paul OGrady show a few years ago.
