  1. Aaaahhhhhh.........................chills the heart of my cockles..................
  2. Best 3 minutes of all time was first time at a Northern Soul venue, the Cats, walking in Alan S was playing The Four Larks Groovin' at the Go Go from then on I knew what heaven was going to be like
  3. 2 years ago walking into the hotel where Abdul Fakir from the Four Tops was staying and chatting with him, me remembering seeing him in 1975 Best Golden 2 hours was meeting the legendary Arthur Wright in my hotel in LA, the guy is awesome. Best golden 5 hours was hanging out with, seeing naked and getting drunk with Leola Jiles from the Apollos Best Golden Day was getting the Ad-Libs, Spellbinders & Chris Bartley together in a hotel in New jersey Best Golden car ride was me driving Sandi Sheldon around London.

  4. Hope you got it OK, always thought this was a boss sound. Meethinks it was an old Twisted Wheel sound for some weird reason not get an original UK release, strange as "I spy" was a hit............. Did it ever get played at the Torch ?
  5. Don't mind what condition as long as it's playable.......
  6. Thought local council has ordered place closed in any case, the fire just made that closure more permenant
  7. Now here's something you don't see everyday. An original mini-album from Smokey Robinson and The Miracles. Tracks are : · Tracks of my tears · Going to a go go · Ooh baby baby · My girl has gone · Choosy beggar · In case you need love These were made to put into juke-boxes back in the 1960's - this one is mint, album cover still in plastic cover, included are the full set of juke-box tickets and a miniature album cover photo. £15.00 + £2.00 UK shipping costs, all sorts of payment methods accepted. Thanks for looking.
  8. Most R n B I've heard sounds like it's been recorded in an airport toilet. The ONLY reason it's barged it's way onto the soul scene is that people who "didn't make it" first time round or have come on the the scene much later want to make (or to be seen making) a contribution today and as most, if not pretty much all, Motownesque sounds (Motown is 50 years old today !!) have been discovered and played on the scene only this low 'nee' no quality R n B is out there. R n B gets camoulflaged as being "the" progressive soul sound of today, never was so much poppycock written by so few................ Like Rock & Roll? Webby, don't insult the Rockers of this world.....................
  9. Hi, check them out at this location................................. https://shop.ebay.co.uk/watchguyone/m.html?_trkparms=65%253A1%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A6&_dmd=1&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_vc=1 Thanks, good luck & good bidding.....................
  10. I've always been of the opnion that this was the re-issue............................
  11. In a "male" or "female" context ?
  12. Ever considered a career promoting Hovis ??
  13. Cats early '72, they were playing "Groovin' at the go go" next week to the Mecca and it was Cracking up over you
  14. Thanks to the 57 people who replied ...............all sorted now I would also like to take this opportunity to publically thank Julian Bentley...................as you all know Julian was awarded the Medal Of Valour from the RSPCA for rescueing a tadpole from a puddle on his front driveway, the citation reads "Whilst under heavy fire from passing pidgeons Julian persevered and sucessfully in scooped up Trebor the Tadpole and carried him to safe waters, never once thinking of himself or his bank account" good going Julie...... Julian has a been a supplier of fine vinyl ever since those early days down Manchester way, in spite of the fact it rains there 99.9% of the time Julian was always there to greet me with outstreched palm, thanks mate..............
  15. Looking for a "Come go with me" Gloria Jones (can be that 70s re-issue if need be) and "Goose Pimples" Shirley J Scott.
  16. Me, not once............
  17. One of the traits of getting old is that I can remember something from I was 5 years old, but not what happened a week ago. Remind me, is it you Paul or Malc organising the re-union this year ??? Sorry I'll go and sit in the corner now
  18. I'll be adding some more this evening, check it out..............
  19. What is a "weekend soulie" ???
  20. I expect a huge mass flooding of Northern Soul fans in the streets at cinemas that show the movie. the Police will be hard pressed to control the crowds as they "push from the back" to get into the theatres. I predict dancing in the isles, flooded toilets & loadsa hand-clapping. The makers will end up becoming millionaires and moving out to the Cayman islands to bank their easily gotten gains..........becoming fat cats in a matter of hours.............
  21. Just revised the link..........................
  22. https://shop.ebay.co....=&_trksid=p4340 Over 30 Northern Soul favourites, including Christine Cooper, Younghearts, Dells, Chalfontes, etc Good luck & good bidding.
  23. Coming up from the South as a cocky, know all Londoner, we were knocked out by the style, intensity and quality of the dancing, we wouldn't have dared to try emulate the locals, although a mate of mine picked it up really quickly
