Some of them don't seem too bad. I paid £300.00 more for Louis Paul less than 3 months ago. Phil

I didn't realise it was tongue in cheek, and I am not trying to make you out to be a nazi by any stretch of the imagination. I don't know you so would have no basis upon which to make such an assertion. You made a comment which appeared to be broadly in line with with the philosophy of eugenics, I responded to it. That's all. I agree it's not related th this thread. If you want to open a eugenics thread on freebasing, I'll gladly debate the subject with you.

You didn't answer the question

Some already have.

What IQ do you think that people should have before being allowed to vote? And who would monitor the results of such tests to check that the criteria are being adhered to? I presume that, given the above statement, you agree with the philosophy of Eugenics, As what you describe above is nothing less than state sponsored discrimination. I am sure that were there an IQ test before allowing one to use ones vote then I would fail miserably.

Very valid point Andy. It appears that Mr Trouble's definition of Northern Soul completely ignores the records that were actually the most massive on the scene back in the day. Much as many of us would also like to ignore a lot of them too, we can't if we're being honest. about this scene of ours There have been many "Northern Soul" floorfillers over the years that had nothing to do with "soul music" whatsoever. Andy has highlighted a couple above. Northern Soul is and always has been an extremely broad church and punters can take and enjoy whatever bit of the genre they like. I think a lot of my personal musical taste would gel with Mr Trouble's, particularly in terms of record collecting. But I also love many of Ian's reworkings of tracks I've loved since my youth, together with many of his new tracks too. The claims that this DVD will put off new blood entering the scene and getting the wrong idea is, quite frankly, nonsense. They are much more likely to get the "wrong idea" from many of the CD's that are sold in high street shops that purport to be Northern Soul - CD's featuring some of the worst tracks (IMO) to fill a dancefloor

Why don't you? He started his own thread. You could do the same, couldn't you. You clearly hate everything he does and everything he stands for, so why not just stay off this thread?

I have just read this post and then called up Mr Levine. He is very grateful and thankful for your promise not to contribute to this thread, and if James Trouble will make the same guarantee, then he'd be back on here in flash I am sure that what Dave meant about you not getting it is right IMO too. IT'S ABOUT THE ARTISTS. When I called Ian he played me a "rough" mix of a track recorded this week by Tommy Hunt. I think it's brill. Not everyone will agree when they hear it I'm sure. But ..... It's Tommy Hunt, who's been performing this music since 1956, and still today 52 years later in his 70's can still do it! Amazing. Keep on, keeping on Ian. Phil

RIP Mike. That's some outfit from the Motor City they're putting together up there now.

My self and Mr Dewhirst will release this on Soul Intention - just need to sort the licensing / logistics out with Mr Levine etc. Phil

Yes. But only if you're the one who keeps bringing me my records every day

I wish it was Mandelson. It's darn sight betther than being called Dick I'm on a mission at the moment to purchase every record that I've ever owned, and subsequently sold. Then I'll turn to the ones that I've never previously owned, if I've any money that is

Because today he brought me: The Topics - Have Your Fun - Dream The Contacts - You Gonna Pay - Quadran The Trends - Not Too Old To Cry - ABC Paramount WD The Ringleaders - Baby, What Has Happened To Our Love - M-Pac The Steptones - Lonely One - Diamond Jim Can't wait to get home and play 'em all. I'm well excited Phil

bump

I'm going to let a few doubles go. Starting with this one. A fine quality piece of Northern Soul, and possibly the most excitement you can get in under 2 minutes On offer is an original press white label promo (stamped in run-out) of the Velvet Satins - Nothing Can Compare To You on General American GA-006 Condition is VG+ Offers via PM please. Payment - Paypal, US$ old Roman Coins, uncute diamonds coins accepted. Anything except £'s unless you cover the devaluation - only joking Phil

OK. But the exchange rate is disintegrating before my very eyes. Now at $1.47 to the £ !!!

3Pm BST was 17 minutes ago

Danny Moore - Somebody New - Allrite. Bought for $2.00 at Sams Jams in Detroit and sold for £1000.00 to Pete Lowrie. Result! Particularly now there's loads about

I'm going to the US in a couple of weeks and then again end of December. I forward purchased my $ for my November trip as soon as it started looking a bit dodgy, so got $1.80 for the £. I did the same again today for my December trip and could only get $1.64. That's a 10% difference in just a couple of weeks. I'm hoping that it gets better before I go in December, as I've not bought all the currency that I'll need, but I'm hoping it gets better. We've not been used to having to do this for a long time now. On previous trips of late I've just got a few $ to start me off and used credit cards & cash machines for everything. Phil

Flipping 'Eck I may have to sell mine if it's going for this much. last one I had I sold for £80!!! Mind you that was 1992

Quite simply one of the best male vocalists ever. He touched millions with his singing. I know Levi's in a better place now. Goodnight God Bless. You'll be sorely missed

Could it be The Inverts - Time Will Change - Broadway ??? Phil

Yes. Thankfully they're all OK in the end. Just got to hope it sells now. It should do. It's a great track, and there's plenty of buzz around it. Phil

How much do you want for Vondells & Gene Toones? Phil
