Never quite 'got this' tune....... I actually know his ex-wife

Will Collins & Will Powers - Anything I can do

I once bought some low cost UK label stuff and they had the name "Jon Slater" written on them. The next day I was listening to Richard Searling show and he commented and a record that had handwriting on it finishing the sentence with "just like Jon Slater who used to sign his name on all his records" I wonder who Jon Slater was ?

That doesn't count, if are actually from a country then go back there to visit and go to an all-nighter, no sorry not valid. My Manila, Philippines still the furthest.

Mind you got me another Rado Green Horse :innocent:

Had to send this back, didn't work hat a shame :innocent:

Our 2nd ever Northern Soul event was from Shepperton to Blackpool in a 3 speed Ford Popular, even lorries were overtaking us At Hinchley Wood traffic lights some MGB driver who couldn't wait drove into the side of the driver door It took us about 12 hours to get there (circa 1972)

Mechelen to Stoke, left 04.40am got to Stoke 19.30pm.............................. Once went to Manila in the Philippines for a Northern Soul event, honest !!

How did you get on, find one ?

You don't need anybodys permission on here to play or not to play a record, get a life and play what you want.....

Always wondered how people danced to this tempo....................

I use a Stanton cartridge, top dog, woof woof woof.............

These guys may be of some help................................... https://www.google.be/imgres?imgurl=https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-tArwiQ8QGU/SmYHkERw24I/AAAAAAAABa8/XWvJlHlF6i8/s320/VanMcCoy_in%2Bmemoria%2Bdijpg.jpg&imgrefurl=https://dance70countdown.blogspot.com/2009/07/dedicato-alla-memoria-di-van-mccoy.html&usg=__whD80mFHTx7y9fIJt9RwM5osQCM=&h=320&w=320&sz=24&hl=nl&start=9&zoom=1&tbnid=RV2vGx7L0_smdM:&tbnh=118&tbnw=118&prev=/images%3Fq%3DVan%2BMcCoy%2Blove%2Bis%2Bthe%2Banswer%26um%3D1%26hl%3Dnl%26sa%3DN%26rlz%3D1R2ADRA_enBE399%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1

There were more than you'd think, most tended to be small and/or tucked out of the way. The A Train Guildford Plaza - where they got their stuff from I'll never know but boy did they play some hot stuff. Portsmouth Marina, legendary all-nighter, pure Northern Soul, most of the records bought down by northerners in the Navy. Woking Atalanta - 100% soul and rocksteady - clubland legend Bob Potter behind the decks. I'm sure there's more............................................... .

I don't know which Ricky Tick I went to meethinks Croydon, did Pantiles loadsa times

"it would seem to be a common theme that some of shall we say the more upfront rare soul venues are finding it difficult to get decent numbers through the doors, lost count how many times I read the music was brilliant but numbers were down, seems a little odd to me that when you look at the playlists many of the DJ's are playing top end records which command the big ticket prices on auctions etc. yet fail to draw the masses in which seems to make a nonsence to the whole rare soul ethic." Here's the relevant part of Marks original posting - that's what I answered, nothing to do with oldies am beta dan rare hence my desire for the rare guys and gals to stop so defensive. Facts are facts, I hope my contribution answered the question.

Actually I'm enjoying Belgian Popcorn and 70s stuff more than I ever did But nothing sends shivers down my spine than "the Spellbinders - Help me" type of choon.....................after all it's wotz I woz born wiv..........

I quoted BIDDS because that's the one that seems to be held up as an example of a forward looking soul event, maybe it is, maybe it's not, maybe it's cutting edge music that people will look back and say "yeah that was cool" I'm sure that will be the case, thing is it will be a small amount of people who do and hey!! that's their choice and right. I've been to about 5 venues where "rare soul" was the main sort of music, just not my taste I'm afraid, I've heard little turns me on. Trust me there's a bunch of oldies I can't hear anymore even some I've never liked much, I like to think I have an open mind, if I like it then I like it and visa versa. Perhaps people who do promote the RS scene could tone down their ferociousness and be less defensive, after all it's hardly a matter of life or death..................

Belgian Popcorn anyone ?
