There's always been "pants" stuff happening on the Northern Soul scene - whether it be the "last, last, last, last, last................ever nighter at Wigan, or some of the absolute shocking records that have been played and hyped up. It's always gonna happen. I don't see anything wrong with wanting to see the likes of Dean Parrish perform - I saw him at Cleethorpes a few years back and felt it was quite a privelege. As for having your picture taken with two RW etc - well yes, it's a bit of a joke. I would not object to a rather large pizza after a night of beer and dancing - saves you having to find a takeway on the way home!

Sam always rocks behind the decks - he's always enthusiastic about what's being played.

I think this is a great double sider. I sold one a few years back without playing the flip - Next Stop. Somone on here posted a clip up for me - I can't remember who it was now. Anyway - whilst doing some renovation work on the house recently I found another one - unfortuntately under a pile of rubble from the demolished chimney breast! What's this fetch now - I think I sold my mint one for fifty - perhaps six years ago?

As long as it gets yer where you want to go mate - and the heater works in the winter!

Sounds like you could be sorted now Ken. I've just sold a great little car - a nice looking silver, old shape renault clio. It was immac for the year - and diesel. Super little car - I'd have let you have that cheap. I'm sure you'll be ok with yer fiat.

I'm not so sure - I'm gonna watch this closely.

Forgot what a voice the man has! Nice stuff mate.

It was there a minute a go!

Ok Pete - I concede. Reddy-orange!

Reddy-orange = Pink!

I don't care! I think the HSJ was pink too from memory - highly irrelevant, but I think it was.

Top man Pete - it was Holly St James! I know a lot of people think this is fooking shite! I still like it. Now, what did I do with that record.

It hurt me real bad Bearsy.

This is slightly off topic - and perhaps a little tedious, but................... For some reason I can't get Mr Fox from the label out of my head - because I had some boot or other on this "label". Seem to recall it was a big, big record at the time - but can't think what it was?

Good thread Bearsy - Ouch! I began my soul career like most - initiated with the 60's sounds - you mention the Salvadors - what a classy tune. I like good soul music. I still like the oldies but these days prefer seventies and anything up to new release stuff. The best era musically - in terms of what was being played, for me was 1977 - 1984. Richard Searling at the Casion was awesome - his new sixties and modern were phenomenal. 1979 and the oldies/newies debate - I went along with Sam, Arthur, Poke etc. Having said this I like all sorts.

I wish I still had that tune on PAP!

But Bearsy I thought you only liked Mod and oldies stuff! We'll soon have you as fully fledged member of the dark side!

Yes - throw in some fondue and we're onto a winner!

The fifties! I'm a very young soul boy then - I'm a sixties child.

What do you mean - sooner have?

That's interesting mate - I remember hearing this somewhere but didn't think it was Clifton Hall - I'm sure you're right though. Any ideas as to who spun it there?

I'm gonna did my copy out tonight, dust it down and play it. All I can remember about the record is that it's white! Mind you - given my DIY accident when removing the chimney breast recently it may well be black. Any serious offers for a very rare, black, one off pm me!

I like this record a lot - very atmospheric. It's one of those sounds that takes me right back to the late seventies. I think I have a copy too - but seem to think mine is on a white label? I'm sure mine is a boot.
