Every day free on you tube plus 7,000 steps a day, cut out sugar , walk after main meal or split it down into 2 walks a day say 3,500 each - don’t pressure yourself and if you can 20 mins at the start of the day meditate -

I read an article years ago that back when groups were touring due to demand, if they advertised 

The Four Tops - it could be anyone (within reason) as it wasn’t the Org Four Tops

While going through the daily records for sale , I came across this track - thinking it maybe a different version of Mr Big Shot - deffo no - 1979 And by the sound of the record I would guess it was aimed at the without wanting of offend anyone same gender couples - and the clubs at the time - jump in if you know the back story 

double life 
Massive fast track I first heard around 76 - true white soul that has stood the test of time - Thanks for the memories Jerry

Wonder if he knew how big a hit he had on the NS scene back then  

Mid 70ts at St Ives - deffo no

No penalty - pulled shirt 

Only scored 5 goals in the last 7 years for Scotland - he would have bottled it anyway

Dutch fans gotta love em - I worked for a Dutch company for a few years, and whenever Holland play Germany the Dutch hold up banners with “Can we have our grandfathers bike back” as when the Germans retreated WWII they nicked all the bikes to pedal get back to Germany

Back in the 70ts there was oldies sounds and newie sounds or shufflers and I guess now looking back new old sounds being played for the first time  - usually a DJ would put 3 or 4 newies sounds together - wasn’t about how old the record was it was about the sound  

Youve been gone to long

Seven day lover

Night of the Wolf

Burning spear 

Visibly looking down at the floor of the Casino , when they changed the sound you could see people leave the dance floor as well as go onto the dance floor 

changed the tempo yea right like we cared - wizzing our heads off 

Bok to Bach was a Blackpool Mecca record
so discovered after 73

Simon - I remember it taking the roof off the Casino from mid 70ts however a UK release in 68 it would have been smashed out at the Wheel / Torch / Va Vas and every single oldies night at all venues - great clapping bits to it, which you don’t hear as much now but hey - magic sound - I actually brought the demo from the Casino for £5 back in 76 however it’s got a chip out in the intro which is one of the major leads into a record - but apart from that plays great

Honestly - Am not bothered, I think we’re over thinking this as long as they keep off the dance floor with there drinks am all good - I only go to oldies nights, so technically newcomers will hear the oldies for the first time - making the sound to them new
Imagine hearing Freddie Chavez for the first time

I also don’t see that many people under 50 attending - who are really into NS, I see some people (usually in a group of 4) attending as most soul events are a safe environment, and you know what the music sounds a bit like Motown - they enjoy themselves and it’s there monthly date night out - all good  

Just saw these in Camden Market £255 - mine cost £17 back in the day

Mine also had one of the pockets with elastic thread so if the DS pulled me - I had somewhere to tuck the wrap, out the way

When people ask “What is Northern Soul”

Freddie nails it in one song

Thanks for raising my heart beat in the sweat at the Casino, while dancing and grasping for air - Never to be forgotten - RIP
