vinyl, 7" northern soul singles, in this age of cd and digital music you tend to forget about the vinyl stash hidden away in boxes in a wardrobe, over 500 rare soul gem's, i dug a couple of boxes out this afternoon and as i flicked through them i could still remember where i bought most of them from, all-nighter's, mail order from 'black music' or 'blues and soul', [old school, postal orders sent off in an envelope, no internet, amazon or i-tunes], trading records with mates or one of those heart skipping-a-beat moments when you found a gem in a junk-shop or record shop who weren't too savvy on a day trip 'dahn souf', sitting on some cold railway station waiting for a train to get you to a 'niter or to get you home in a morning after a night of amphetamine fueled dancing, try as you might, you can't 'download' that......
