Just 12" 'Holy Grails'. Don't matter if they got a 7" release as the 12" is normally a different mix anyway. Good call on the Alfie Davison, far better version IMO but wouldn't call Curtis a holy grail as not that rare.

Thought Gary L called you a sheep Simon

Just read the excellent UK holy grail thread & then saw this on e bay. https://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-MODERN-SOUL-BOOGI...7QQcmdZViewItem Any more? Off you go.

No contest really. Step forward Soul Source's very own Wpaulvandyk & take a bow.

I know Dave. The Secret Life Of Pla... Oh what's the point.

Hmmm.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie_Wonder#Classic_period:_1972.E2.80.931976

Is this the same Joe who was at one of our Modernism nights a while back Not be needing the Al Mason any more then Joe

Post 4 on here Mark, you'll love it /House-Music-Soul-t101514.html

I knew you'd say that & I agree with you

Good point Pete. Reggae scene's the same as well. Just compare some of the Ska stuff you like to some of the current Dancehall stuff that gets played now - poles apart. Thing is with the Northern & Modern scene's there's a sticky middle ground. Take for example something like Benny Troy - I Wanna Give You Tomorrow. To the die hard Northern punter it's classed as Modern but to the Modern punter it's classed as Northern (cue some pond life saying it's Disco sh1te ).

Send it back in the same mailer Pete & say you're not happy cos there's a slight crackle on the intro.

Was it Johnny Depp? Oops! Shows how often I go to the flicks. Still leaving the dig at Joe "Disco" Dutton though, bet you've never heard him do a 70's set. You'd be surprised

So R&B DJ's look like Brad Pitt then Beeks Now at least I know where Pikeys Dog gets his username from Sorry Joe but couldn't resist it mate

Yes. I'll pm you Nik.

Can tell you now Beeks there's a few Modden DJ's out there who wish they had that much hair, me included

Thanks for the info Sebastian & Glyn. Looks like it's going to take a bit of good luck to find a copy. Reason I quoted Germany in my original post is because the person who sent me the mp3 of it a while back copied it from a German album & told me there was no 7" release. Knew about the year difference but the M C version sounds far earlier so assumed it was recorded first & not released until later.

Tell you what Davie, you're not far off the mark there fella Shock horror - Modern scene & R&B scene join forces to save the Northern scene

Yep Bit like my taste in music - Like both kinds of Soul, Modern & Modern oldies

Us Mods are allowed a point of view as well Dave besides not a Mod for this forum so just a mere mortal in here like you

Anybody got a copy of Mark Capanni - I Believe In Miracles (original version of Jackson Sisters) they want to part with or any info on said record? Pretty sure it's album only & think it originates from Germany but not sure. Any info more than appreciated. TIA, Mart...

Here we go again

Swan cases are about the best pre-made cases on the market Chalky but there's just one problem with them & that's the handles. They're fine for a small box like a 7" 100 count but for anything bigger they don't half dig into your hands if you're carrying them for any length of time. Got a 12" 100 count Swan case & it's bombproof but still got the scars from carrying it round Bolton one night.

Copied & pasted most of it from previous House threads Roger to save folks typing it all out again (considerate modding eh ). Also thought it would make a change from Simon's 1 line replies

Soul? SOUL?? How dare you call this bloody soul - funky disco sh1te more like. Can hear all this 'boom boom bang bang' stuff in any nightclub on a saturday night. Nearly fell off my Polyveldts when I played this & had to bury my head in my 1978 Wigan holdall. Daren't tell you what happened to our Gladys's 88" circle skirt when she heard it Can't be soul for a start because there ain't a single track on it made before 1970. Can't tell when one record finishes & the next one bloody starts. What use is that to a DJ? Everybody knows a 45 lasts about 3 minutes then the DJ tells you what it was then plays the next one while we clap politely. Can't do that to this bloody rubbish. Where's a man supposed to do a backdrop to this never mind a swallow dive, the splits & six spins. Mix this, mix that & mix t'other? what's all that about? Should go back to mixing concrete sonny my lad. And what's all that about with the covers? What's wrong with a picture of a dancer in his 40" baggies & vest & patches eh? Before you jump in & accuse me of being narrow minded I'll let you know I love all 3 kinds of soul music - club classics, northern & motown & I even danced to the Brothers - Are You Ready For This last week & the week before & the week before that as well so don't tell me I don't know what modern soul is. Soulsorts in the house. More like bloody Spoilsort & not in my house. Signing off now, A very disgruntled Hector from Halifax.....

Beat me to it Andy. Probably also the friendliest weekender as well along with the Wakefield City Soul Club weekender that I am just recovering from (also free). Would also add Brid to the list, only £20 & without doubt the best weekender venue in the UK (IMO).
