Shocked and saddened to hear this. God bless Ted. Peter

Precisely Chalky - it's a crap record. Peter

Thanks for posting them up Steve. As a personal observation I've never understood the Wayne Gibson record? It may have something to do with the fact that it was always played on the Waltzer at Mablethorpe amusement park when I worked up there as a summer job in the mid 70's. I just don't like it and personally don't think it fits in a northern soul playlist/do. Peter

Sad news indeed Karl. Jimmy was well known in this household for his amazing sets at Rock City and further afield. Progressive, knowledgeable and above all, a DJ who kept us dancers happy. A true stalwart of the Northern Soul scene. Sincere condolences to his family and close friends, he will be sadly missed. Best wishes. Peter

Hi Richard It's been a while my old friend. Not so bad here thank you. I hope all is well with you. I presume you're referring to my recommendation regarding Quarry? Peter

I find Mobland too tongue in cheek I'm afraid. I didn't rate This City is Ours either. People really need to watch Quarry. Peter

Bosch is well cool. Peter

That Chris, is nothing short of spectacular. Peter

I always like to have a look at the auction results; it's part of what makes up my overall interest in the northern soul scene. I don't collect anymore, and I'm not a seller. Just an interested voyeur. Peter

It's always a wow whenever I see a hare; it's not often. Great photograph. Peter

In the olden days you were given three back street blues for two quid and a gentle push in the direction of the dance floor. You danced non stop for about six hours. Bingo, you got it. Peter

Wow! The mind boggles - and she does it all with a straight face; and such loving sincerity. Peter

The brilliance of Lamont Dozier.

I've been watching Quarry. It's about a Vietnam veteran who returns home and gets sucked into the underworld. Some great acting, brilliant character performances. And; it has a wicked sound track theme, proper soul and blues music from the little club scenes, and whenever there's a radio playing. It has people flicking through vinyl 45's and albums and record shops. It's set in Memphis, and was filmed there and in New Orleans. It also features the racial tensions that existed at the time, and the racist violence that the black community had to endure. Well worth a watch. Quarry (TV Series 2016) - IMDb Peter Edit Been watching a bit more and upgrading my well worth a watch to it's an extremely good watch - best thing I've watched for ages.

You're just showing off Steve! There are a number of different releases - I like them all. Back in the day, dancing my socks off I never knew/wouldn't have noticed whether the bongos were bonging or not! It's a modern soul anthem; I love it. I hope all is well mate. Peter

Great show Dean, great guests and great picks. Always tuned in of a Thursday. I hope you're well mate. Peter

I fancy that but have heard it's a but gruesome - it might upset my current very fragile mental health. I'm being serious. Peter

A very good Romanian thriller on Netflix - Subteran. I binge watched it. Peter

I'd love to see an otter in the wild. I know they're making a come back in some rivers. Much to the disdain of some anglers - one or two on here! Great pics Mick, well done mate. Peter

You can do whatever you like. I've not read a single comment where anyone has suggested that you do anything otherwise. I do think that you are starting to sound a little petulant. Peter

Not sure how many other dealers would/have a 50% reduction offer on their stock. Peter

I think everyone at Johnny's - including himself, have done a sterling job on what must have been/still is a monumental task. I don't collect anymore but when I did I always found John and his set up to be first class. I've heard nothing yet to change my mind. Delays were always going to happen and could have reasonably been expected. Peter

This was me dancing in the 80's - in my regular spot, surrounded by loads of other dancers, loving the music, the times and the company.

All niters in the 80's were rammed. Lots of people left the scene in the 80's, but big venues were still rocking with us dancers often struggling for space. I always danced in the same sort of place - to the left of the stage looking at it, close up. The music was awesome with lots of quality rare modern stuff, lots of 60's "newies" and some well known classics. Loads of people missed the 80's and then returned moaning. You can't win! Peter
