Cheers Sebastian Really nice stuff!

Haha, sorry??? That wasn;t aimed at you mate - I couldn't remember who signed it and who told me to go carrot myself if I tried. It was a good night though - as usual. Apart from being really, really ill at some services. I think it was watching D Raistrick eating a full english that did it!

Cheers mate - my pixie theory rubbished again.

I was there that night too, it was a Scottish flag and I remember Richard saying 'The only good thing about that flag is it's colours!' and laughing (obviously a Spurs quote :rolleyes: ). Did I get round to asking you to sign the petition - I remember more than a few of the 60's die hards telling me to go turnip myself!

I was only saying on here the other week...............pixies do exist.

Getting better

On reflection, I do not think pills will be the answer to Scarborosoul's anger management and an*l retention issues, he may be better off lying down in a darkened room and finding some obliging female to give him a quick rub down with a wet copy of "the sporting life"I'm orffffffffffffffffff to find cover from the ensuing flack You're probably right - is that smoke coming from yer trainers!

Mmm - I think the pretty little blue ones. Yeah - give me the pretty little blue ones! Little precious's.

Aah - the pink ones.

You're right Pete - very passionate and enthusiastic - perhaps a little blinded by all that enthusiasm? We're all entitled to our views.

No - as a patch it's crap.

Yes - thats a well reasoned response. Bo""ocks to everyone because you don;t like what they say. If you can;t see how the "scene" has changed over the last 30 odd years you probably need to start taking some different medication.

Only Survivor - Bobby Womack

This is my view - you may shout me down if you wish. It's a bit all over the place too! The Music The northern soul "scene" has been through many changes as it is - the most significant being the introduction of newer soul sounds which heralded the "modern" soul scene. Whilst newer stuff had been played previously at the Mecca and Cleethorpes the real "split" came in the very early 80's - when emotions reached fever pitch at Wigan Casino. I remember well the huge banner being hung over the balcony - Keep the Faith Not the Funk - which wac clearly aimed at Sam, and to a lesser degree Richard. Me and an old mate from Boston tried to garner some support for Sam by way of a petition - but to no avail. I'm pretty sure that that was Sams last night. In my personal view the newer sounds gave the scene a real lift - and did in fact succeed in bringing new and younger people into the fold. As time went on enthusiasm for the new music grew - and sheer popularity ensured that the new music thrived along side the traditional 60's oldies. Then of course came Keb and Guy and the 60's "newies" stuff - and again musically, the scene moved forward. Today we have a very diverse mix of music being played - and this has to be good as it pleases a wider audience. My only comment would be that we need to keep our music "soulful" - it has been what sets our "scene" apart from other music scenes. The Crowd Lets not kid ourselves - the scene has always been a little "elitist". I remember when I first started going -which was years ago, we used to call people "plastic soulies" and "divs"! I probably got called it myself. Things got a little better in the early 80's - even the dress code became a little more informal - out went the bags and the polyveldts and white socks etc. People started to wear "normal" stuff - and I think this eroded some of the elitism a bit further. We've never been that good at getting younger people involved though have we? Dan is perfectly correct in saying that without new blood the scene will definitely have a shelf life. I just rambling on ............................ In a nutshell I think we need to be encouraging anyone who has an interest in our music - whether they be people who come and go to a few do's or not. The music is wonderful - why shouldn;t we share it. As long as we keep the soul in our soul. Now I think I've just talked a load of bo**ocks!

Yep it's a great tune for sure.

I don't care what anyone else says. The Blue Sharks is the bestest - it matters not that it is rarer. It is just better!

I agree with you Pete - why should you be out of pocket for purchasing something which isn't what it says on the tin. I'd go for the partial refund - which you feel is a fair compromise. If he can't agree leave him the bad feedback.

The version of this tune - a great record.
