i like been off the scene as much as on it mainly due to the fact that when i do visit a do allnighter its great to catch up with everyone,get the gossip etc.My scene is record collecting not the northern soul scene that i only occasionally frequent mainly due to alot of the dislikes in the other posts and not enough hours in the day etc. Looking forward to another usa trip this year to look for records to me for the last 3-4 years ive done this more and went to less dos mainly because its a good break and a different perspective etc. THE most awesome memory for me on the northern scene was not wigan or anything like that but the first time butch played jesse james love is allright ,to me it all fell into place ,i thought to myself as i had a subliminal momment [that philly drum roll will not be bettered]this will not get anybetter ,goosepimples down the spine and you know what it hasnt! i love the friendliness and in a way the bitchiness as well seldom does any other music evoke such passion,but at the end of the day i love the flip sides more than the monsters cos they usually are ballads or deep soul and that is my main passion now.
