The biggest problem now, which affects everything from whats played, to whether a venue is busy or not, or actually any good or worth attending is the fact that as a scene we’ve basically self destructed. From having a scene which was a defined genre, with an approximate consensus on what constituted a Northern record (by and large), now we have so many scenes within one scene that it raises the question of whether ‘Northern’ is still a genre any more. We seem unable to stop reinventing what it is, in an effort to keep coming up with ‘new’. So now when you go to a venue, you could be listening to some semi Doo Wopp record made in 1961, or an R&B record made in 62, or something made and recorded last week! There is no reliable, identifiable consensus on what Northern is anymore. In the past if someone told me a record I ddnt know was great Northern, it probably was. Now if someone tells me something is great Northern, I find myself asking privately...”yes, but what kind of Northern?” When I was a teenager in the 70’s I could pretty accurately tell someone that a lot of Northern was similar to Motown, or at the very least 4 beats to the bar, with a black sound, strong backbeat etc. But what would I tell em Northern is now??? Most people within 5 years of my age (65) grew up with Motown, it was in the charts and played everywhere. So that sound was in our heads, so sliding into Northern with a very similar sound, was easy and perhaps even inevitable. But theres generations since who dont have that Motown/60’s soul sound in their heads or historic musical experience, and so they dont necesarily have the benchmarks to assess Northern as it used to be. My impression is that there is a community of punters who dont really know much about music; 60’s with a beat doesnt make it Northern, black with no beat doesnt make it Northern either, nor does you liking it and enjoy dancing to it. Equally having a collection and wanting to dj does not in itself equal a dj! As a scene its probably lost its way, add to that venue overkill, and the age of a lot of us, its probably past its ‘sell by’ as a scene. But that said, the finest examples of the best Rare Soul music a person could ever hear, still exist, and will forever, regardless of their being a ‘scene’ or not.

Yeah no problem, totally understand. Its not goin anywhere,its in my collection. I meant to reply back in Oct when i first saw your post but totally forgot, then something today reminded me lol. Cant remember who I had this off, but it must have been a trade with a dj coz there are vague signs of cover up on the run out; only noticed them today when assessing condition. Must hve been Keb or Guy I guess. Tim

My demo is £100. Condition is: Visually looks vg+ to Ex. Audio is pretty much flawless NM/M at either low or high volume, other than the run in which has a bit of audible fuzziness/ low level crackle. Ive always been a very fussy collector and the condition has been good enough for me to keep it, if that helps. Tim

Hi, I know Im very late with this, but did you get fixed up? I have an orange demo. Tim

Hi, I have the rare White Demo of this, in NM condition. £150. Thanks Tim
