Can't you do better than that Kegsy!

What have you posted Ivor?

When I started going to soul do's I became a right soul snob - I don't know why because I knew fcuk all about Northern Soul. Still don't! Anyway, when attending non soul do's which became less and less as my all niter career took off I used to react pretty badly to disco dj's who used to say "Now for a bit of northern" - and then play shit like Needle in a Hay Stack, some other rubbish like Diana Ross - you know the sort of crap. My snobbery also came to the fore when people would say "Mm, you're into Motown aren't you" etc. As a result - and at my own loss, I discounted loads of good stuff over the years - because I thought it was Motown shit, or it was stuff like Band Of Gold, Freda Payne - which I thought was rubbish just because the disco DJ dare call it northern soul. "You wouldn't know a northern soul record if it poked you in the eye" I used to scoff. "Too rare for you to have any in your crappy box of pop records". Obviously, I've learnt over the years how wrong I was - just a great big snob! Anyone have any views? Peter

Bit of mid tempo modern from me today. Gene Chandler - Does She Have a Friend. I've mentioned this a few times before - name dropping bore, but my mate played drums for Gene. Peter

I've never really liked it Bazza - probably cos I couldn't do em and never did. I was pleased when the majority of people packed in doing em - 30 odd years ago.

You know some nice soul music my friend. Incredible voice - proper soul music. Good on yer. Peter

Very nice Steve. From the heart of the man. Otis has done some great stuff hasn't he. I knew nothing about him till I was mesmerised by The Only Way is Up back in the day. Nice one buddy. Peter

I've missed this by all accounts! Ended up joining the wrong fecking site - I think. Anyone got a link that works? I'm afraid Mel's attempt at being the Pied Piper of SS failed miserably - but she did try! Thanks Peter

Hello Harry - Hope you Di and the kids are well. It's a fooker of a tune. I love it. Peter

Probably my last one for the evening - and one which has had plenty of debate over the years (including a few threads on here) Hows about a bit of Micky Moonshine. I don't care what anyone says - ave it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ-_42HgUsw And I have got this somewhere. Peter

The Five Stair Steps is probably the most soulful but I'm pretty sure it was the Shammets that got me hooked. I wish it was friday and I didn't feel so ill! Peter

I'm on a roll Barry! I had to have help with Ted and Sharmo for this one. The Shametts - used to love it - still do.

Hi Simon, err Alf. It's a fabulous tune isn't it. Hope you're well buddy. Peter

Thanks Ted. Thats it. Great tune.

Great tune this. Trying to think of the female more upbeat version - my memory tells me that there is one! Cheers Peter

Am I allowed to post stuff that I haven't bought Barry? Another great memory v record for me - Gia Mateo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15SRftKNw6Q Mega memories.

It's a nice record.

Mm, well not exactly that word! And Pete - it would be easy to read my post as being negative, it wasn't. When I read Sean's post I said blimey too. It was a great compliment from Mr Hampsey. Peter

I used exactly that word Bimey!

Very quick off the mark Mr Rix

You can fecking leave it as it is now - after all the hard work we've put in. Seriously, though it's an improvement - slicker etc. P

That works too. Must be the black arts at work. LOL

Yep, sorry mate. I didn't mean that. I was referring to the other reply. What I meant is that you cannot see the entire page of scans without scrolling down a bit - which as I said is because there are so many on a page. it isn't a problem and its better than having to load page after page with a few scans on each. Tis working Pete

Yep, it's working Pete. You do have to scroll down to view each scan but it isn't a problem and I think you would need to anyhow with so many on a single page. I would rather that than have less on a page and have to keep loading. Looks good too!
