The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free.
But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient.
Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead.
Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?
Time for me to propose No. 20 of the FE Soulful 100: This was the first "proper" Northern Soul record that I ever bought, by that I mean one that wasn't a bootleg or a pressing. It cost the princely sum of £2.50 on Cameo and seemed to me a fortune at the time
I've got one of those examples of The Strange World of Northern Soul here: Here's a record with a funky backing (DT - you might enjoy) and I recall from my youth that this was absolutely huge at Wigan, very few records set the dancefloor alight like this one, an original copy on Maverick was a very rare item indeed. Personally I've always disliked it, but it's woven into the fabric of northern soul and I wondered how it would be received here .... you never hear it played nowadays. Probably because the dancers couldn't keep up with the beat!
Yeah. I think you have to view it in the context of a teenager smacked out of his/her brain on phet. The ingredients of a brilliant dancing record are all there.
You know something guys? I wish I'd never posted that Terrible Tom record - I was only testing the water Tell you what, here is an absolute stormer to make up for it - we've never had this one before, I hope you enjoy it as much as me:
I thought I might indulge of my "other" passion for your entertainment
