When I go to a venue I expect the DJ to play original vinyl and he expects me to pay with real money. If he is playing CD's then I expect to get in with monopoly money.

I'm not too sure if this is in the correct section but could some one find out whether my tea is ready? I have been shouting to our lass but she either can't hear me or she is fookin ignoring me?

When these came out it was well before the big bang happed and I for one enjoyed the CDs. I took them to Bosnia when I was serving in Banja Luka in the Republika Srpska and did a weekly radio spot on a local Serb Radio station called "BIG RADIO", Mike can you remember it? They used a Moooooooooooo cow noise to cover the first or last few seconds of each track for copy right? Goldmine (soul Supply) Ltd was an important slice of our soul pie.

Bogue, I hope you're not criticizing my new leather jacket!! I challenge you to "The white boy dance" Every one loves a good dance off "You cant start a fire, you cant start a fire without a spark This guns for hire even if were just dancing in the dark"

Nowt wrong with going out and enjoying your sen but there is also nothing wrong with having a giggle at some one else's expense, I love the video and it makes me howl each time I watch it. Watch again the bit that turns into "Dancing in the dark" Bruce Springsteen when a young Courteney Cox joins Bruce (3:25) on stage at the end for the "White Boy Dance" also lampooned by Eddie Murphy. I'll sling the video up...... Now tell me that's not remotely funny and your fookin lying to prove a point or you're just humorless? This is not a challenge against soul nights this is not a Middleton thread; it's just a fat bloke who wears shorts and sandals finding a bit of humor in a scene that by far takes its self well too seriously. I will apologies for any offence, discomfort or embarrassment caused by this controversial post but the video is still fookin funny!

Bless

God I love this clip, within ten seconds our main dancer ignores the blonde bird leaving her in the middle of the floor, a chap walks across with a drink, an adoring fan challenges him to a "Guess if it's a high five or a hand shake" competition then some bird nearly gets kicked in the head whilst crossing the dance floor. We then get our Budweiser drinker strolling back chugging at his beer on the way, tis like Red Neck Soul

Sling the picture up

Thats a first for me!!!! where did you find that??

IS THIS A VISION OF Hell? So what's missing in this video? 1. Bloke swings a punch 2. Bird chucks eight pounds of talc on the floor then fooks off never to be seen again 3. Two girls drop their blue colored drink onto the dance floor 4. Some one crosses the floor giving his mate a piggy back 5. Hand bags on the dance floor 6. Another bloke mimics the dancer 7. The camera gets dropped 8. Power cut 9. CD gets stuck 10. Dancers trousers split 11. Bird falls over 12. Dancer falls over 13. They all fall over 14. Two birds stand on the floor having a chat Fookin mega!

still not heard this fooker either Paul???? have you got a file ??<

Cheers pete

love to hear Maxine do this live......

Ady was this ever played at the 100 Club and if not why not?

Can any one put this version up?

Sorry Godzilla, I'll type slower. The clip I have taken from Youtube does not say who it is, take a sneaky peaky I have re read the original thread and there are possibly four versions with a tentative version "Gino - Its Only A Paper Moon", the jury is still out on that one but I can hear similarities. I would still very much like to hear the four version and definitely id them. Thanks though for pointing out that I am a bit of a knob, but most know that already, keep on truckin.

I remember standing on a chair at Cleathorpse watching her, absolutely brilliant!!!! Any one who can't get down to this hasn't got a fookin pulse!

A touch of velvet A sting of brass Ask any "Soulie" for their favorite record ever ever ever and they will tell you how impossible it is to answer that question as there are so many wonderful tunes. Ask me and I will tell you "A touch of velvet a sting of brass" is my all time record ever ever ever ever! There are loads of records that blow my socks off, some make me want to do the funky chicken and some make me curl into a ball and sob like a child. This great instrumental from Mark Wirtz and the Ladybirds, credited as Mood Mosaic, back in 1966. Used by Dave Lee Travis as his theme tune on pirate Radio Caroline. Britannia ruled the airwaves! For me it was the defining moment that made me choose the path towards every thing Northernsoul, I love the silky smooth purity and crystal clear production. The harpsichord is a complete joy, the brass and the perfect backing from the ladybirds; you can't help but mimic that silly yet completely right "wahhh wahhh oooh oooh ohhh ohhh ohhhhhh". The hook that took me into the clouds to see the angles was and still is the strings, I can feel my whole body literally lifting into the air as if tempted into a different, better, plain, and that's no mean feet as I am a big fat pie eater now! I wish with all my might that this exceptional tune could shake off its "Divvy" mantle and be played on the Nighter circuit once again, I love I love it love it!! Below I am adding two versions of the tune, one is Mark Wirtz and the Ladybirds, credited as Mood Mosaic and the other I do not know? It may well be "RON GRAINER ORCHESTRA", but I have a feeling it isn't??? What do you think.........

Barry, always good to care mate!

Time Machine Track What's yours? My "time machine track" is Terri Wells - I'll Be Around. It transports me instantly to the summer of 1984 when I was just about to join the Army. I was courting my first wife and smashing her back doors in every chance I got mega year, mega mega track!! Terri Wells - I'll Be Around was on a duke box in Hull Kingston General Hospital Social Club and I nearly put my wages in listening to this superb version of a soul classic. What's your "Time Machine Track" and where does it take you?

How many "Fred's" did you know who went to The 100 Club? I knew Fred Herron from Luton, any more?

Not been for a while but I am going to rectify that soon. The 100 Club for me was a taste of home. I think it was the first ever Allnighter that I had been to that you could actually get an alcoholic drink at, I must admit to finding this a little strange, the only time you could get a drink to Northernsoul was at a an Alldayer? I remember never having my bleedin membership card with me, it was yellow and ripped, still have it today. Kinda weird having a nighter in the middle of London, Oxford Street is well busy in the day time then when the night falls and the crazy people are left roaming the streets a queue of right dodgy characters forms out side a seedy jazz club. As one o'clock approaches the last of the jazz cats stumble out of their zip zap zippedy zap drinking hole stumbling towards taxis and Sunday morning hang overs, the odd one looking back in confusion at the bizarre gathering of Soulies waiting to be let in. No matter where you where in the queue, no matter how long you had waited, the place always seamed to be full and every seat and table taken. The ubiquitous Hawaiian shirt, slicked back hair and Japanese student, the visiting TV type and trendy bendy never diluted the real nitty gritty Northernsoul essence and this was its strength. I always thought the music was a little hit and miss during my early visits, there didn't seam to be cohesion or direction, maybe it was me? I think that because it carried the Northernsoul torch standing alone I kinda expected some thing different than I got? I suppose I wanted what I hate now and that is floor fillers, my my how taste buds can change.

I like the amount of threads it has
