Agree with Jim gives me shivers too - ace record regardless of vinyl price etc etc. Just a brilliant soul record.

VG+ or upward please!

Acetates cut for only the best jocks to spin - until the inevitable booting!

Wish i could of got up to this too but no motor or more importantly money. Gl d it was a good night.

You should do that - you could post it up here and we could all add stuff to it and maybe someone could do a backing track to it?

Pretty sure the Himself LP mentioned Pervis' teenage son played bass! Rest of the LP was naff btw, this stood out by a country mile.

The Ken Booth flip is great moody rocksteady too!!

Sometimes i have wonderful dreams where i'm at an infinitely massive record fair and there's boxes of Cairos for £1. And i've got huge dungarees on with giant pockets full of £50 notes.

Does the funky soul thing a total disservice

I actually can't wait for the Soul bowl special at Prestat. I'm going to cut the proverbial rug right there in the corner.

This is a great record - James had another (may be the flip of this) by them that was a gorgeous mid tempo

Nearly started weeping looking at those lists. Great read btw!

After this vg+ upward if poss? Thanks!

Green version by far!

"Again I will say ....creativity without truth is nothing" This strikes me as a very disingenuous line. But what does it really mean? I think you mean that 'creativity without truth means nothing' - to you. What is absolute truth of the scene at the time - your own personal experience and testimony? There seem to be plenty who feel even Elaine's film is too dark and depressing to how they remember it (some even claiming there were NO drugs at these venues) - perhaps their truth is closer to the SW commercial or Soulboy?

Things are changing and the world is a different place to what it was - what you say about the soul scene is probably true and why it is / was brilliant and important; but this recent glut of media attention means nothing more than it is of passing interest to them. They'll move on - come back - and move on again as they have with the mod scene for years. Grow up, deal with it and get on with it in 2015.

I think you're unfair to comment about people financially gaining from the scene without finding out about their involvement in it, especially when you do it on an internet forum, (a place where we can all hide behind pseudonyms and pretend histories) and clearly with only a few posts to your name. It's also clear from the tone of your post you have a particular beef with 'Constantine and Santucci'. That's your problem of course and one that's deeply yawn inducing. It's funny that you should pick up on them in particular when other well known long time scene members have been squeezing the northern soul angle for money for years, with their bootlegs, tat and inflated record prices, not to mention dodgy CD's sold at a premium, all grand exposure for such an underground scene. Where's the criticism of all the berks who have regularly paraded around on TV at the very mention of Wigan (and have been for years) declaring it all their idea and gurning for the camera every step of the way? How is any of this different from The Word, This England, Felix, Soulboy the movie, KFC or any of the rest of it? The cherry picking damages your argument irrevocably I think. Cheers, Joel
