  1. First week back under the Sun after a six month hiatus , had to capture the massive sunspot that's currently crossing the disc that's about nine Earth diameters across give or take ... Skywatcher Evostar 150 + Canon 6D + Baader ND3.8 Astrosolar Imaging film. Stack of 60 frames.
  2. Any unscented talc is acceptable , that Johnson's sh*te is a dead giveaway that you've inadvertently stumbled into a handbaggers festival ... The stench started to stink up venues back in the 90s when the first wave of "returnees" appeared after "doing their duty" and contributing to the over-population of the planet , they had cupboards full of the baby stuff to get shot of.
  3. I honestly found it as disturbing as walking through the entrance to an empty Auschwitz-Birkenau at the crack of dawn before the coachloads arrived. I apparently didn't utter a word for the entire 6 hours we were at the two sites ...
  4. Just watched one I've been waiting for ages to come online , and well worth the wait , quiet and eerily gentle but truly horrific . "The Zone of Interest" And this evening I shall partake of the other new release on the similar subject . "One Life"
  5. "The Rookie" has reappeared with Season 6 after a long wait due to the strikes ...
  6. Gawd forbid that records that made #1 across most of europe ever get played out at a northern night , that would be barrel-scraping of the lowest order ... Donny bloody Osmond covered it ten years later , if that's not enough to get it sent straight to rare soul Room 101 then nothing is.
  7. Still no response from the "EP" owner then , I thought it unlikely that a scan would appear ...
  8. Just finished the brilliant "Mare of Easttown" , highly recommend this.
  9. A quick forum search for "cover versions" will take you to a myriad of threads on the subject to get you started ...
  10. Nice story ... But honestly I'd have been mortified if my parents had ever suggested 'escorting' me out on a Friday/Saturday night at 18. It was always a case of "Where you off to this weekend ... ?" , followed by "See you when you get back"... Very different times back in the 70s/80s and I dare say before that.
  11. https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/292326-i-searched-for-soul-and-fiund-the-star-intrepid-tales-of.html
  12. The only niter I remember being disrupted by a "bomb scare" was at the Wirrina in Peterboro' around the same time , early 80's. Some antagonism between the Wirrina and Fleet promoters I believe.
  13. So where's the requested scan of this "real" EP ... ?
  14. I've just started watching "Blackshore" , off to a promising start.
  15. Ted Massey Rare Soul Tapes #1 and #2 are two of the first ones on my page sir ...
  16. "Um um um um ..... " was his only UK Top 40 appearance.
  17. None that I'm looking to get rid of but there's some old'uns on my Mixcloud page , have hundreds more that I haven't got round to digitising yet though. https://www.mixcloud.com/Woodbutcher/uploads/?order=oldest Karl has a few to peruse too on his page as well as his Stafford site ... https://www.mixcloud.com/Chalkster/uploads/?order=oldest
  18. The High Numbers has always made good money , often above this.
  19. Nastily overlaid track , the original sequence knocks that into a cocked hat , might not be "Norvern Soul" enough for the blinkered souls on here but it's classy and no mistake ...
  20. Quick heads-up as to one to avoid ... "I.S.S." One word ... Garbage ...
  21. The type of venues using dated cliched NS bullsh*t like KTF etc , etc ... !
  22. Just finished bingeing on "The Tunnel" , fabulous Anglo-French drama series.
  23. Looks just the same as the "World Championship" at Blackpool ... apart from the fact that the tune and dancing are way better ...
  24. Perhaps the "Soul Staatssicherheit" should also get in touch with the 'Official Norvern Soul Dance Academy" to prevent any possibility of classes being offered in this perverted exhibitionism.
  25. Used to love watching Les Parren and Carole Drinkwater from St Neots/Brampton cutting a rug at St Ives ... Methinks it's about time the "Soul Gestapo" got together and published the definitive set of "Northern Soul Do's and Don'ts" so that the rest of us know exactly what's acceptable ...
