Received mine a couple of days ago but this is the first chance I've had to say thanks Richard. Not played all yet but some belting stuff so far. Plenty of 'new to me' tunes (which isn't hard) as well. Top fella. Have put a healthy donation behind the bar of my local as promised!!!! Me not being a collector of records, The Gary Glitter Fan thought that I had ordered something dodgy when she found a brownpaper parcel from the states on the doorstep!!!!!!!! KTF. Drew.

Thanks for the reply Shute. I would hit the floor for both of these if heard out. KTF. Drew.

Not played the random plays on The Soul Club Jukebox for a week or two but along with stuff posted on here it's a cracking way for me to hear 'new to me' tunes. Just listened to two belters.............Ain't You Glad You Chose Love. Gladys Knight and The Pips....and......Deena Johnson I'm a Sad Girl. Actually, the more I listen I think I have heard both before.................................the liqueur is kicking in now!!! KTF. Drew.

You are proberbly right Pete. I have for years thought I had taped it as part of the Live Aid night. Either way, bloody fantastic bit of the Motown 25yrs show. KTF. Drew.

Does'nt this just this just bring a smile to your face and a tear you your eye!!!! I've got this on video tape; seem to remember it was on TV as part of the Live Aid night (what year was that?) Not sure if that was the first time it was shown on British TV. Two wonderful groups but TFTs are favourites of mine . I could watch and listen to Levi Stubs all day every day!!!! Nice on. KTF. Drew.

I can't remember if it was at Oldham Polish Club or the Middleton allnighter this saturday gone that I heard a tune that had the line in "I'm slowly molding" or just "slowly molding". At least I think that was what was being sang. No It wasn't Cody Black's Slowly Molding which I am familiar with. Anyone know of a song with those or similar words in also? KTF. Drew.

Last week in The Nat.West main branch in Underbank, Stockport.......Barefootin' Robert Parker. I was in and out in a moment so don't know what was either side of it. KTF. Drew.

There's a record on The Soulclub Jukebox.....Make It Easy by Pinkooshins!!!!! Not the worst record I've ever heard but certainly the first time I've heard it. Quite catchy when played a few times. Strange name, is it a 'cover up' name and the origional artiste's name was lost forever when the cover-up material was removed so it stayed Pinkooshins? (has something like that ever happened! ). Is this someone more well known but who put the record out under a pseudonym? Or just a 'one off' group with a daft name? KTF. Drew

Not soul related unfortunately but was once centre screen on th news being 'chaired' off a sit down picket line by the police at Eddie Shar's place in Warrington during his dipute with the print unions. Got 'bol**cked' when I got in work the next day as I'd phoned in sick to be there. KTF. Drew.

Only knew Mr Heartache before reading this post and sad news. Awesome record along with several others that I will now listen to reguarly. Listening to You Got what I Need as I type. Wonderful!! Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!! RIP sir. KTF. Drew.

Went to that little scout hut type disco (The Den) myself as a teenager. Don't remember it running for very long but yet another place where we in Stockport got NS in the mid 70's closer to home, along with Thursday nights at Brinny Youth Club. Such places then,youth clubs,local village hall dances etc all over the country are just as much part of the NS story as the big venues I suppose. KTF. Drew.

I'm sure I heard this when I was at school!!!! KTF. Drew.

Thought a recent thread on this might have been taken up but maybe it's been done before? Anyway here goes: Top trumps wasn't around when I was a kid but I am oh so painfully aware of the game after hours of playing Manchester United Stars; World Cup Rugby Stars etc, etc Top trumps with my lad. Soul/ Northern Soul Top Trumps! What should be the scoring catagories? Longeverty; rarity; most plays what? Still thinking on mine but what would your NS Top Trump card have on it? KTF. Drew.

Any session involving The Four Tops. Bet there was some laughing and fooling around from Levi Stubbs. I smile whenever I see that man smile. KTF. Drew.

This is awesome!!!! Does being unissued mean that it is likely not to be known to soulies/collecters from way back when? This, being played out and loud would have me up. KTF. Drew.

Just checking this post has made my day! Another top tune. Only trouble is whenever I ask for this out I'm met with either blank looks or some fob off! Rare? Just not played? What? KTF. Drew.

Top tune. KTF. Drew.

God! You lot astound me! KTF. Drew.

Last night we went to my son's football club presentation night at Stockport County's ground. Usual stuff; lots of clapping and then a disco! After the lads had stopped doing Peter Kay slides on the dance floor the DJ managed to get a load of the mums up dancing. After enduring sh*te such as Third Finger Left Hand, Jimmy Mack and Build Me Up Buttercup in his Motown/soul section, I approached said spotty DJ to see what elase I might get out of him (do others always do this at weddings and such?). From his lap top set-up I managed to get Our Love Will Grow...The Showmen, It'll Never Be Over For Me....Timi Yuro and Livin' In A Bottle...Brother To Brother; and the dance floor filled up a little more!! Now considering that I was desperate to get to a 'do' in Droylsden but was getting the "you're going nowhere" looks from the Gary Glitter Fan, I think getting the 3 above mentioned records out of the night was a result!! KTF. Drew.

Oi! Who you callin' a girl!!! :angry: KTF. Drew.

...........towards the end of The Soulclub Jukebox version of Spyder Turner's I've Got To Get Myself Together? Sounds like a gun shot! Is it because it is taken from a radio show or something and that sound is laid over to stop copying/booting? Not on all copies is it? KTF. Drew.

Yikes Mikey!!!!!!!!!!!!! The thought of some blokes in their 40's dressing as they did on the punk scene back in the day is much more frightening than seeing some of our lot who are in their 40's and 50's dressing in retro soulie gear!!! KTF. Drew.

I'm bewilderd!!! But not about the above post, just about the complexity of it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to side with OVO but as a 'numbpty' I want to hear the tunes that I think are great and the ones that you all know are great but I have not heard before. Makes absolutely no diffderence to me if said record is played by Soul Sam or some bloke who isn't known but has the same record! Not sure all that makes sense!!!! KTF. Drew.

Does this really happen!! Sometimes, after reading these debates, I'm glad that I'm a 'returnee' and still learning about records that are common to folks from the 80's, 90's and so on and have no idea who broke them etc. I like the record being played so I dance or listen, issue over for me. I can't believe that some on the scene would only go for a record if it was spun by a certain DJ!!!! What the f**k is that all about!!!! KTF. Drew.

I'm not that bright mate; or clued up!!! KTF. Drew.
