Amy , I am that person with autism and ADHD ! A look at all posts on here perfectly illustrate your prognosis, all the symptons are so patently visible , My Question ,what is the cure? Best post for years.

Fantastic mag, new to me ! I always thought Dave Mc Cadden and Soul Galore was good,, but this is better , imagine the work ,pre Techno involved.

Hi Mike &Team S.S. , Cheers for post ,as your EU members cannot view BBC I Player broadcasts, LOL John , Malaga,Spain. ( Ps ,Love the irony of Stuarts comment ,"There are no rules in enjoying Northern Soul , What ??;)

Anyone kindly fill me in on Chris Daltons Potugal Dates for 2024 venue , Cheers .

Hi Soul A Go Go, I assume you refer to UK (non Eu ) to Spain (EU) ? Post Brexit as follows Goods are charged 21% IVA ,Spanish Vat ,Delays at Barajas airport for customs checks ,maybe a month, custom/import duties, charges are fixed on value ,even if you declare as gift on CN22, duties are still charged, a bit of a lottery! This is worst case scenario tracked or signed seems to be irrelavent the EU authority countries are random in their application of member state rules. I no longer buy from non EU dealers ,basically the time factor and added costs . .Having said that any items from Soul Source Store have sailed through, in 5 Days!! best of luck Cheers John Malaga,Spain.

Ditto ,Ha,Ha, Checkout my earlier post ,RNS, Paula Parfitt/ jay & Americans , C/U, Amazngly this similar NS?, Boat Floater still on Ebay at seven or Eight hundred Squid !!! Feliz Navidad ! John , Malaga

Your memory does serve you well ! "Domino"was played at soul nights in the mid 70,s as a Vocal to the then popular Al De Lory Instro "Right on ", to which it is not, but very similar. Don,t know about "Wild Night" but then again Van,s soul credentials are indisputable.

What a great Soul Source contributor ; allways tolerant ,friendly and positive ,I will miss his great posts!

Rare Northern soul. com are currently advertising with soundbite Paula Parfitt "Bring me Home"C/u . As a Brainteaser can you work out who it is ? I have worked it out, It would cost you 850 pounds to find out, Cheers John.

Baby this made me Weep with Joy !! Amazing interview , Enjoy !!

Elaine Constantines BAFTA nominated and NME Film of the year ,Cult Classic,"Northern Soul"to be screened tonight on BBC2 at 11-15pm August 22nd.

Quando ,Quando ? The clues in the question ,exactly When ( Maybe also where ) did rarity dominate to many on the scene? As geese correctly states, nobody at the Room, Wheel ,Toptwenty, Cats Mecca etc late sixties up to Casino 74,, would ask consider, expect , the DJ to discuss how rare, or the number of copies or price, they where simply great dance sounds! From mid seventies perhaps,, exclusivity was born, today rarity is cited by main record suppliers as a big factor in quality and price.

U.S. Atco ,Totally Clean Lables Please , better than discogs prices ? ,Cheers for Looking ,.

August 26th ,is date for showing on BBC 2 TV. Following fabulous reviews on SS and mainstream Media!

A "Touch " more versions of "Velvet" The Marketts in 1966, US and euro issue. ( Bells Delana, Stirring up some Soul) Westminister String band Black Lace 1976 uk Aim . Ron Grainer Oz Theme Toon supremos take , was at the behest of Barry,Wigans Ovation prod, Kingston. .When rights for "Touch" and "Joe 90"could not be obtained the re ,recording route was given to Ronnie of Prisoner Tv Toon fame ( A technique pioneered by Iconic Soul legend Ian levine) If you want more Of "Velvet " check out the late Rons "When love Grows Cold"CC 10, a sad "Sting of Brass" part2!! Got to agree with S.S Egghead ,Roburt John, Mood Mosaics is top of the pile , Health warning , Do not attempt to google Doncasters Agga Doo,ers take! Final thought, why ,amonst all the classic Soul , R and B,Heartstoppers of the time would instrumentals like "Velvet" ," Scratchy", "Fife Piper" "Green Door" etc,etc . be chosen, and popular at the Mojo , Wheel,Etc ?

9.30 pm BBC 2 tonite ,Saturday. The Life and career of an artist of colour,with conflicting sexual and religious issues, growing up in the segregated U.S.deep south. Maybe ,just perhaps this 90 min documentary will feature his 1967 Okeh sessions with Arthur Wright and Williams and Watson,which produced 4 N.S. bangers ?

Normally resist Drunken late night rants, But no such tranquillity on saturday BBC 2 , After the usual praise for the great Burt Bacharach, Dusty, Dionne , Raindrops etc, Sandie Shaw video of her abysmal take on " Always Something There to Remind Me " ,the bottom strapline , said originally recorded by Lou Taylor!!! LOL John Malaga.

Hi Ted , I share your pain , I have been burgaled 3 times in the past 10 years , it is the worst feeling,,,, all my belongings ramsacked , but no personal harm,,,,, all items can be replaced ! Stay Strong , Time Does Heal,,," Nil Caborundum Bastardo" , On behalf Of All Soul Source Friends,,, LOL John Malaga Spain..

In 1968 ,I saw the Showstoppers perform on their first UK tour on the back of "Houseparty" at The Peppermint Lounge Club in Fraser Street Liverpool,. Comprising of Soloman Burkes 2 Sons and another pair of Brothers . They where very polished and professional and great Vocal harmonies and slick dance moves ,particularly on their rendition of the Artistics "Im Gonna Miss You". Milton Samuel who created the UK Beacon lable licensed the release of "Houseparty " for the princely sum of £30!! It was a Top 10 hit in Uk and very popular in Europe , not so in the US. I Saw them again at the wheel in 71 now signed to Jerry Ross and his Heritage lable this group apparently where the Persuaders as the original line up was no more. I can not say if this is true, as my observational powers at the time where somewhat limited.

Amazing memories, my fave venue from the forgotten years The Winding Wheel ,Chesterfield..

"Back To The Future" , Larry is Back ! Superb Mix Of Modern ,Motown and Northern a real COOL presenter,Highly Ennjoyable, LOL Cheers ,Johnny ,Malaga ,Spain.
