Got this somewhere I think Pete - It's good. Mm, might have to retract that - could be on a cd. Nice though. You're taking records out like there's no tomorrow - I blew all mine up with the gas explosion. Why, did I bring that up - the flash backs will be back with a vengance! :sweatingbullets: LOL

Yep, great stuff Steve. Gene might be a big name in some circles - I reckon he's a tad under rated. And my mate did play drums for him! LOL Peter

Been digging around my spare room for stuff. I know I'm not as good as you guys with lesser known stuff - but this is good IMO. Oscar Perry - love the name Oscar, has some good stuff to his name - this is my favourite. Main String - let's be having yer! Proper soul music this - don't it make you feel good, having someone to love you. Peter

Does anyone know how much money is neede prior to that deadline in early November? I couldn't see anything in the linked article. Thanks Peter

Not from what I've heard Paul. There was talk of some spanking with a wet womans weekly a while back - but that was a completely different thread! Peter

I just sent a something request on FB - err, can I join sort of thing! Don't really do much FB but I'll dip my toe in if they'll ave me! LOl Peter

I didn't know half of that! That's why I like you Mr Hampsey - you are indeed awful! But I like you! LOL

I shall give it a whirl Melly. Took me fecking long enough to get there - it would be a crime not too! Peter

You have some very, very handsome records Sean. I like the look of that. Mm, just noticed it was produced by Eugene Record - must be the same Over Dose of Joy guy - that's a nice record too. Peter

Bless you Len That's a lovely positive post.

Melly I managed to log in - even joined up, got mesen a new name, and everything. Been sat in that fecking chat room for hours - on me own, no fecker to chat to. Been talking to mesen - no fecker has even had the decency to say hello! It's a killer loneliness, a killer! LOL

Absolutely Roger. It's strange - perverse really, that even way back then there were things that I thought, mm, that's awful - but as a new kid on the block you daren't say so. Things like Black Power, the Mickey Mouse thing - they were quite big records in the late 70's when I started out. I've never really understood them - and not sure that I ever will. Some of the other stuff though was sheer stupidity and naivety - Gladys Knight is superb - as is Freda Payne. We sort of get there in the end. Peter

I'll ask Mike for some more

Life long learning Macca. I now think i have impeccable taste when it comes to soul music.

That made me smile Steve. Good job they can't smack me with a rule anymore. Maybe a smartish slap across the arse with a wet womans weekly! :sweatingbullets:

I do try Len

I can't like your post as I have run out of, err, likes!

I'm loving Make Yours a happy Home at the minute

Like I said - I was a knob!

That's the sort of thing Kegsy. I blanket snubbed everything from the likes of Gladys Knight etc - I'm pleased I saw the error of my ways.

There used to be a kid where I lived who probably did two all niters with us - we wouldn't take him after the first two cos he showed us up. Anyway, he was the king of northern soul acrobatic dancing at all the local town hall discos - in fairness to him he wasn't a bad dancer. He was a proper div though - a real plastic. Used to take a few records with him and get the disco dj to play em. From memory it was stuff like The Flasher, Footsee and some shite motown. His mum who used to frequent the local pubs and clubs used to start every conversation with "ooh, you should see our John northern soul dancing. He's won some prizes you know and the big boys are going to take him to some real northern soul clubs". Yeah, like fcuk we were! LOL Peter

I thought this might open up some serious debate!
