Whatever the outcome here, isn`t this not an open forum? wasn`t this thread started to find out what peoples reaction to this record was? if critisism is not what was wanted then why ask the question? there are certain comments that are very dubious and that was why i was agreeing to chalky`s post, i was not comparing the record itself to records like duffy or frank popp merely the concept of newly released record, if theres one thing the northern soul scene holds it history and history has proved that new released sounds as with those ive mentioned have not stood the test of time, whilst i wish the band every success in there venture, but i can`t personally see this being played at local events 10yrs down the line, as i do believe that the scene must move forward and have allready said the vast amount of records that are unplayed/underplayed is immense, you are asking for an opinion and thats what were giving here thats all, nothing personal
