Never liked the word NORTHERN myself for all the reason you've stated.

Correct, so you have to advertise the club/event differently, not just at soul events and let people know what they will be playing.

Matt I think it depends when you got into it, by what you stated I would guess you're a tad younger than me, and if I'm correct the scene by the time you got there it was a different route, ask yourself how and why you got into it, there must have been some influence, you just didn't wake up and say I want to be a rare soul boy.

Just a thought: When I started out on the long trip to where I am to day, I went to the local youth, local night clubs and soul nights then onto all dayers/nighters. A lot of the tunes I heard at my local night club where also played at soul venues, I'm not talking about re-issues here, although of course they were being played, it was the way it was and a lot of these charted, but I'm talking about the new releases of the day, the philly tunes and the soul disco stuff, some great music and a lot of them rightly classed as classics today. I went to the Mecca reunion on Saturday and I could have been in my local disco back in the 70's hearing the likes of Taraves, Moments, and others and I'm gussing we've missed a trick here, the way to get youngest interested is via the good stuff that's being released today, but we've become too snobby either about rarity or not playing it because it's on a UK label or dare I say it simply because it is a new release. I'm not nescessary saying we should play it at all the niters by default some of them don't lend themselves, Bidds for example, but why not say Stoke it's surely big enough (crowd wise) to be able to throw some of these tune in during the night, and I see nothing wrong in playing these tunes at soul nights and if it helps get a younger crowd through the door, hopefully their next step is that they crossover to the more uncommercial items, just like we did back in the day. Are we ready, willing and able to play the likes of Eli Paperboy Reed at our soul venues.

People have always picked up bargins off ebay, too many records for everyone to buy so it's pretty obvious that some great records go through for nothing, sold some of my own on ebay for peanuts compared to book price it's the luck of the draw as both a buyer and seller.

Have to check my copy now, not noticed it before.

Are we guessing which title you're after????

This has to be a joke

Any younger and they will be in nappies.

Steve you traded it with me, it was £60 now I remember not £100 which I originally thought.

Yes booted, but also a real record on Roulette and my prefered version.

You could always buy it cheap on UK Pye DD, it still sounds the same.

Went to everyone, great nights, great memories, me and Sue, at the Ritz.

With Nige on this there was a great sales area, remember getting loads of Golden World Demo's there one night, someone had just come back from the States with a suitcase full of Detroit 45's,

I'm sure my UK release is 45rpm.

I agree you can't play every record, but a f**king lot of the biggest floorfillers are never played full stop so it can't be a true reflection of the Casino. I'm not saying they are great soul records, but they were certainly Casino floorfillers, and to ignore them is rewriting history.

Heard loads of horror stories, but up to now haven't experience a problem and I send a fair few to Italy, not just soul but other types of music, maybe just been lucky.

Had another email from Paul over the weekend. Yes Robbie Lawson still sing. He sings gospel music. Catamount Records was started by Stan Krause one of his first albums he put out was by a group called The Royal Counts and 2 songs on the album I wrote when I was 15 years old. the songs were Made Up My Mind, and The Time. I didn't get credit for writing the songs on the album because The Group never told Stan that I wrote the songs until the album was out. Stan gave me one check for $29.00 . A couple of years later I partnered up with Stan and I produced the Superbs song Love's Unpredictable.Then I went out on my own. I also wrote I Still Love You by the Superlatives.You probably know that I wrote and produced all of Jimmy Briscoe and the Little Beavers songs also the Soul Generations. I also wrote Hypertention by Calendar.I also wrote and produced Rhyze albums plus a lote more. You probably already know that.. Yes I still have some old songs never released but I have to bake the tape and some are really damaged. I kept Robby Lawsons masters in a vault when I realized how valubale they were. I might have one or 2 things on robby Lawson and I would have to look for them. I own 98% of my songs and masters because I released everything on my own labels. Paul Kyser

Bobby Thurston Sweetest Piece Of The Pie music CD album $22.85 in stock at CD ... in hearse chasing, issued just months after the great singer's death. ... The LP came out in 1978 so if the above statement is true then he must have passed away either in 1977 or 78, but no firm confirmation.
