    I agree with much of what you say, but Your Line above -Now, here we are in 2018, almost fifty years later, and every Tom, Dick and Harry, weighed down with a baby boomer inheritance and a final salary pension, can afford to spend thirty grand on a box of seven inch goodies, and call himself a DJ at any one of a gazillion events which are on every night of the week. It's not the same as it was. Completely different set of circumstances entirely...But this... Also applies to every Tom, Dick and Harry spending peanuts on (boot) seven inch goodies, etc etc. and then the music becomes proliferated (to my mind in an undesirable way) by wannabe DJ's. NB. i'm not and never have been a DJ myself.

    I think (unless i've missed the point in your response Joey) it's slightly different to own the record (carry it maybe, or not) and play out the 'sub'. As opposed to not owning the OV at all, and playing out the 'sub'. Personally...i don't want to go to where there is no DJ investment in the OV.

    Yup-I think we’re on the same page.

    thanks-yeah got that. maths not my strong point. It's what happens ( to me anyway) when you're a dodding 'ol bugger.

    What’s on my mind is this: in not so many years from now anyone that went to WC 1973 (say as a 15 yrs old) will be less and less in terms of first hand. (i think...maths is not my big point). I can’t believe i’m calling it a journey... but for me, my journey is a personal thing. I don’t feel the need to talk about it a lot, like badges/credentials at an interview (that would have been so funny back then, what could we have possibly compared it to). You did it and got it, or you didn’t. No hugs and kisses. That doesn’t mean i’m anti anyone who sprinkles their post with reminisce’s. Big regret- i never saw Stafford, etc. -but love just about everything that came out. My cuppa tea. Bearing in mind the OP ‘a youth culture left in the hands of old men’ - which old men will this be left to, by then? Yes, hopefully, the likes of Jordan, etc, - and NS will be in safe hands. Rather than those that seek to re-engineer or re-define the cultural history. P.S. i instigated a private message with mod BBAML, so our previous on this is sorted.

    There is also the The ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) system. It's less useful for originals-oldies but very useful for Rights Owners on anything that's used for comps, etc Go to FAQ on- https://isrc.soundexchange.com/#!/search

    I find this a bit harsh from a moderator- but OK i'm off.

    the strange world of Northern Soul... NF Porter is married to Frank Zappa's sister, Patrice.

    I can see Paul Von Mertens has influence...but i’d still like to know why they picked The Devonns as their name?

    So there i was reading John Lias vol 2 Spinning Around -and John Abbey pops up as one of the producers on a Tami Lynn -'Love Is here and now you're gone'(LP). Others in the producer line-up were Jerry Wexler, Wardell Q, Brad Shapiro,and Bert Berns. and i quote ( from the book) "John Abbey is in exalted producer company on Lynn's one proper album, whch came about as a result of her surprise Northern Soul driven UK hit 'I'm gonna run away from you'".

    I asked Pete Roberts a few years back ( i think...it was a few years back anyway) if The Equals- 'Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys' was played? I had vivid memories of the song-and the throng- but not the venue. If it was played, It would have been at the 'knockings of the club's final throw of the dice' late 70? “OK, I’m loosened up now, children" - was it just a faded memory of a different venue?

    he would Joey- "The Soul of Man under Socialism" is an 1891 essay by Oscar Wilde in which he expounds a libertarian socialist worldview

    I sort of get where you are coming from Steve. We have enough disagreements (surely) on N.S. without introducing other music stuff. Or at least I think that’s what you are driving at?

    Please: Does anyone know anything about this Arlen release? Side One ‘Hey Girl... Side Two ‘Silly Little Girl’. (N.B. I’m not looking for a review of the songs or the other label release like Sounds South, ABC-Paramount, etc, which i have) ta ATB

    More information about "Northern Soul Connections #15 - Ronnie & Robyn"
    Northern Soul Connections #15 - Ronnie & Robyn For those that need a read at bank holiday...or are waiting for Cleethorpes. Northern Connections #15 There is only ever one Single-Truth, and then versions, accounts and even faded memories. And unless you are "the subject or directly related to the subject in time" there is no way to be 100% sure about that single-truth. So although I believe I have the compelling evidence for my views... On Ronnie & Robyn, Sidro, D'Orleons, and the rest, there are many sources of testimony, both verbatim & ancidotal. This is my version and it is anchored to primary printed documentary references. No other contributions, first-hand or otherwise from the past are disputed here or made to be less valuable. Instead i leave it to you to take what you wish. In a 1960's music business where almost everyone hos o 'nom de guerre' what follows may merely be a chance occurrence which is only remarkable for being apparently connected. Any corrections, or further enlightenment is encouraged and appreciated. She was a Michigan State ballroom Champion. He was a 1963-64 State champion drummer and singer with Bobby Dayton and the Daytonos. They were from Farmington, West Bloomfield. Together they were Ronnie & Robyn. added by site to accompany the above....

    I've spent a couple of hours this morning skim reading (because it needs much longer to digest properly) Vol 2. Together with Vol 1, it's my "one book" which i would take to Desert Island ( disks). well done John, and many thanks. ATB
