Northern Soul Uk

It is the 'First' vinyl release, but a bootleg is an illegal issue, so apart from the bootleg, it was never officially released by Tamla Motown. Although, saying that I have seen it listed on the 'Tamla Motown' subsidiary label 'Soul'? The plot thickens.

Heard this the other night on TV. Nice song and vocals. Is it an attempt at Motown/Soul?

Hits the spot every time! And this!

I have been asked to guest on an internet radio station on Tuesday 4th September at 7pm-9pm. The show will be an insight as to what music influenced me and made me want to start DJing. The playlist will be a mixture of Northern Soul, Funk, Jazz/Funk and obscure Disco. I am sure that you will love it. So why not tune in on; www.cowbellradio.co.uk.

OOOH!! Bitchy! I can't complain about playing Rave, it's not done bad for me! Ian you might want to tune in to https://www.cowbellradio.co.uk/ on Tuesday September 4th at 7pm. I have been asked to do a 2 hour DJ/Interview show about what got me into the music and the tunes that made/make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, even to this day. I have been asked to choose 25 of my all time favorite tracks that influenced me. I know you will love all of them Ian. No Rave in sight by the way, all Nothern, Jazz/Funk and relatively obscure Disco tunes.

I would but I am DJing in York tonight, Rave would you believe. But I have DJd with Louie Vega a couple of times and seen him play numerous times. He is amazing! and if I wasn't working I would be there in a breath!

Yes, but that was a LONG time ago!

When I had a break from Northern, like many of us did, I got into the House/Rave scene big style and actually DJd it for a good length of time, and still do a bit. I was amazed to be honest at how similar the Rave scene in particular was to the Northern scene. Traveling miles to the club you liked the best, taking drugs, dancing all night, and very loved up. I used to say to them, I have seen all this before in the 70s, but they couldn't get to grips with it until I explained the Northern scene of which most of them were too young to remember. There are a lot of people that used to and still are into Northern that got into the dance scene and vice versa. What REALLY pee's me off, is that whenever there is a documentary made about the Dance scene in the UK, it always seems to concentrate on the South and Manchester, and Leeds never gets a mention. Leeds was responsible for many household club names such as 'Back2Basics, Hard Times, Orbit, Ark, Leeds Warehouse, Kaos, Soak and the 'Leeds Gallery' where I was resident DJ/Promoter for 9 years. I just wish that the programmers would start to see that it was not all about the South and Hacienda, and look a little further with their research. Eric Morillo was good though

I agree! They are about 20 years too late if they are talking about the start of the underground dance music scene in the UK. Might have been a better idea to start from now, and work backwards.

You need to be really careful! using any liquid formula could and often does make the ink run or come off.

Oh Crumbs!

This is my original, got it on the night :-) Also my original 'Torch' badge. Good days eh?

Used to go from Leeds to Bridlington with the 'Central' scooter club, camp at Bempton in Brid. I remember one year we were camped at the side of a raised railway embankment, not knowing that at the other side were camped a load of Rockers. We found out in the middle of the night though, when our tents were being pelted with bricks and stones, we made a fast getaway I can tell you. It was always Bridlington for the mods and scooter boys, and Scarborough for the rockers, until one year the Mods decided that they wanted to go to Scarborough instead, so hundreds of Scooters rode in to Scarborough and kicked f**k out of the rockers and out of Scarborough, and from then on the Mods went there every year. One memory stands out on that year when a rocker was riding up the front on his bike and some Mod hit him in the face with his crash helmet at about 30mph, sending the rocker backward off his bike, and the bike carried on into the sea wall. Ah! good old days

Yes and something else that happens a lot is that one person will ask for a request, and you might say, "I'll try to play it if I can find it", and then they send one or more of their mates to ask for the same record, trying to make it look like there's few want to hear it. I tend to cotton on quickly nowadays and say "The more people you get to ask for it, the less chance you have of me playing it"

get ready for the fireworks.

What a tune, not played out that much because of it having too many breaks, was played a little in the old days though, and very cheap to own. Sounds Orchestral - Cast your fate to the wind.
