"they are expected to follow when now they should be leading" yes. they won't on the northern scene as the price of original releases is a joke, even common records now demand silly money for how rare they are. outside the northern scene, there should be great hope that young people can come through as they are not restricted by a format handed down and enforced by those with vested (financial) interests, so they can obtain the music they want to play out without getting into major debt for their hobby/passion. just putting my tin hat on

i think you're wrong, northern soul has already lasted 40 years, rock and roll died well before the mid 90's. there are more young people into northern soul than rock and roll. I didn't think we were talking about northern soul anyway, were we? isn't that one of the UK subsections? that's because you need to get your hair cut as well Dave

As far as I see it, briefly, outside the uk there are less factions defined by historical events, and more younger people who are hearing the music from a new perspective, but still having respect for those that have been before. Don't anyone get fooled into thinking our non-British cousins are any less informed or have any less taste than we do, nor that they need guiding in any direction. If anything, we in the UK could take quite a lot of leaves out of their book. and Colin needs to get his hair cut

are you aware of this? https://www.soulstrut.com/ubbthreads/showfl...ge=2#Post719417 may help you, cheers Paul

it wasn't quite an instrumental, but it would have been better to have been one on this occasion as the vocal is dreadful on the blackbyrd lp. also check out the version by Funk Inc on fantasy which is really good, has that 3 pieces sound. cheers Sutty

not actually mine Gav, a friend is selling it, been in storage since its released, unplayed. https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...=ADME:B:SS:US:1 'radio mix' is the one sampling ron matlock that gets played ciao Paul

ok thanks Paul, anyone know any dutch ex-pat Surinamese soul collectors looking to offload any records let me know i'll contact hans!

imagine the jon legend track sung by lou rawls...

some time ago i picked up a bunch of second hand deep lp comps called 'soul from the vault - rare deep dynamite' - 5 volumes in all, also there are artist ones such as best of danny white, james phelps vs george freeman, best of barbara brown, best of willie hightower, the history of bobby adams, and 'the fame sound', all excellent stuff. anyone familiar with these? when did they come out and from where, no label name so they don't look like they're exactly legit. also a bizarre lp with a topless woman on the cover called 'soul sensations vol. 1' which has some great stuff on, gloria walker, winstons, lee fields, and strangely also some laurel aitken and derrick harriott. came with a bunch of lp's from a dutch guy so guessing it was a dutch release (on the soul special label). were there any other volumes? all these records feature fantastic deep sides and i have never really hardly any luck locating any of them on 45, the tracks appear to be pretty obscure. cheers Paul

cough... not just on craigs site (never one to miss an opportunity ;-)) https://www.gemm.com/c/search.pl?currency=U...;command=Search mines in better nick, cheaper and the sleeve is signed by dann penn who wrote it. he sang it to me acapella and called it 'aw that old sheet music stuff...' also got a copy of the cd of the album if anyones interested. cheers Paul

'the sun came out' is a great tune, vocally akin to levi stubbs

Don't post much here but check the descriptions on these 2 sales from the same seller https://cgi.ebay.com/Northern-Soul-Towanda-...6QQcmdZViewItem https://cgi.ebay.com/Northern-Soul-Towanda-...6QQcmdZViewItem seems to have forgotten 300 copies were pressed 2 years ago when the second copy of the same 'reissue' was listed... at a higher price... cheers Paul

Yes I have it somewhere...and it's 'hypnotized' from the Clifton Dyson 'slow your body down' LP, with a Clifton Dyson track on the other side of the 12 not on the album, cheers Paul

i have the mix u want for sale on a mint 12 on my gemm site if you're interested, its on soulfuric and its part 2 of the 12"set, the 12's were issued seperately in the US, https://www.gemm.com/item/MICHAEL--PROCTOR/...2/GML812746542/ Sams playing Michael Proctor by that rate he'll be playing Kenny Latimore in 2010 and quentin harris by 2016 cheers Paul

I assume you must be talking about general theft of items from hotels and not theft from events? I've dj'ed abroad loads of times and never felt theft was a threat, you're less likely to have your records stolen outside the UK than in it. more likely that everything will be trashed if you put the records in the hold of the plane, no matter what type of record box you use. baggage handling always find a way to destroy baggage even on the shortest flight, so make sure you take them on as hand luggage. if you are concerned about theft, speak to the promoters, there is always somewhere to lock them up safely i've found, as they usually want their records safe and sound as well, and they do go the extra mile to keep you happy usually. cheers Sutty

yes it's a good read, its about southern soul as it says, presuming ones interest lies not just in records played at all nighters in the uk

nevr heard the b side before but it sounds great to me, i want it. fantastic, never heard it before, thanks for posting it up here, totally sublime 70's soul and thank you - Paul

sounds like a mod revival group like secret affair or the like to me?

hi maxine - hope all is well with you and Keith, hope to see you soon, Paul and Jay x.

thanks for that, these are 2 1-sided acetates so they could be different artists, as a third acetate turned out to be Joy Leonard on Hercules, all info is appreciated, best Sutty

hi folks wondered if anyone can identify these 2 tracks taken from 60's acetates with no other details than the song title and dick charles publishing, and whether they were ever released spellbound_edit.mp3dont_let_it_get_you_down_edit.mp3 they're not to my personal taste but they have just been turned up, tia Sutty

i don't think the soundtrack was ever released
