There was also a rumor that David and the Giants where also Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels You Get Your Kicks? I can't hear the connection as Mitch has a very distinct accent? Maybe its because they are both blue eyed soul from sixties Americana? You Get Your Kicks is still a great record.

I think the rumor was that it was a David Cassidy cover up?

Northernsoul Barn Finds There is an old story, probably an urban myth, of a chap looking for a decent car to restore and he chats to an old farmer who takes him to a barn where a superb Rolls Royce is sitting all in dust sheets and well preserved, the farmer sell the car for a pittance and this is called a "Barn Find". Every now and again you hear of a Northernsoul Barn Find where a disc or some memorabilia turns up very cheap in an unsuspecting place. I have had a little touch of luck over the years finding a "Moments" LP in Germany amongst a load of toys some kids where selling out side their house. It's always a joyous thing to find a little piece of gold in an unexpected place. During my time in the Army I have been given small unwanted collections of Northernsoul and this has happened twice to me. Years ago I was lucky enough to be given a unique piece of Wigan Casino's history by Jim McClusky, Mike had had some T-Shirts done with a print of the Casino frontage, the T-Shirts where being considered along side the Casino patch but the patch was chosen and the T-Shirt became obsolete, Jim gave it to me and it is amongst my most treasured possessions. What "Barn Finds" have you found? Records or memrobilia?????

Is this true??????

I was told it was him

J.Blackfoot - Taxi, flip it over for Where Is Love, cracking track and well and truly forgotten! Dust it off and get it played!!! 48183

nabay - believe it or not - Believe it or not Did any one really jump from the balcony? Throughout the years there have been many strange stories about the many iconic venues, some easily dismissed and others that have embedded into Northernsoul Folklore. One of the strangest stories that I heard was of some one leaping from the balcony in order to dance to a favorite record, is this true or is this complete rubbish?

I DJ'd in the main room on Saturday night at Holiday In Holland, played Fire Island featuring Loleatta Holloway - Shout To The Top followed by DRIZABONE - Pressure they didn't want to know and just wanted to dance to Moses Smith - "Girl across the street" and the like. It was like a kids fookin party, as long as I played the tried and tested formulated same old same old they where happy as Larry, I swore I'd never do it again as I could have just played the Northernsoul equivalent to Jive Bunny. The Scooter Scene did help prop up the Northernsoul Scene in the late eighties and very early nineties but there have never ever been any records broken on the Scooter Scene, there have been a few records championed such as "Suspicion", "Love is serious business", "I want to give you tomorrow", and the "Drifter" but these where as a result of The Northernsoul Scene. DJ's such as Tony Class where products of The 100 Club visits, John Buck RSG tailed off the Scootering Scene (now back and at The Crown?). I'm not saying that Scooterists don't take their music seriously; I am saying that they aren't serious about music. The Snake and The Vibrations type Northern probably connect some of the Soul Night Soulies and the EBay Scooterists together in a wonderful weekend away kinda Disney like experience.

joe bataan deffo! Great tunes, you'll be hard pressed to find a bad one

"Take me in, oh tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake

"That, you would think, would be that. But northern soul was the subculture that refused to die, kept alive by the original practitioners and rediscovered over and over again by subsequent generations" Not too sure Russ read that bit? I have nothing personal against him but he seams to have a lot to say about some thing he abandoned in 1981 and there never seams to be a nod towards those who weren't "the original practitioners" who actual did keep it alive.

Soul, boy, you say "for some reason they seam more open minded" Are you saying they'll dance to any thing or are you trying to suggest that the Hobby Mods are into more up front Northernsoul than what is happening up and down the country at our allnighters? Think ya got the wrong end of the stick but I'm glad you had a great weekend. www.tafsc.com

My thoughts exactly

"Martha Reeves Getting All Cocky In Record Collector" Got to be the best ever title for a thread on Soul Source

How a track ends up as a Northernsoul spin is often quite interesting with loads of stories that give that little bit of interest. DAVID & THE GIANTS - TEN MILE HIGH is such a track, for a while it was rumored that it was a David Cassidy cover up but this was untrue. I personally love the track and it was certainly one of those that I cut my teeth on. I heard a version of it yesterday that has an over dub? Of: 6 5 "3 main engines up and burning" 2 1 "And lift off", can any one throw any light on this? I have never heard this before and I am wondering if it is another version or if a fan has done it? Super Love just doesn't do it for me but I know it is a fave of many, I even like Wigan's Ovation's version of Ten Miles High. Apparently David and The Giants still perform together occasionally.

That's what I was trying to say lol

Me thinks Pete Smith and ScooterNik have hit this smack on the button. Paullo along with a slack handful have peppered the scootering scene with articles and comment based on pilfered memories and observations that have been viewed through a long range telescope that leaves many scratching heads with oil stained fingers. The scooter scene mirrors very well the Northernsoul scene, Paullo's absence from the nitty gritty, grass roots, bum numbing, oily fingered, muddy fields, lean years makes him an unconvincing commentator. Anecdotal history often sounds great but these are just fire side stories with as much observational comment as a day trippers grasp on a moment and the real story and the many connecting threads are lost in favor of an uncluttered package. Paullo writes with a glass of some thing fizzy in one hand and a handful of "luvvies" in the other hand. There is as much substance and depth as a CD cover. But what do we want from a sound bite?
