<p>I do believe that GS Simon is 100% correct. Mod/Modernism is constantly moving and unfortunately the self named Northern Soul followers should really be coined, 'froze in timers ' and should not associate with the modernist movement. ;-)</p>

<p>LW, i took a recent hankering for a PX. Having not ridden one since 1982,it was a big let down and have now moved it on! Give me a GS,SS or SX any day....true classics and well deserving of the Phrase!!</p>

<p>Hello GS Simon,</p>
<p>The terminology can be confusing, I agree, especially as 'southern soul' does refer to soul that was geographically made in the southern states and, by coincidence, most 'northern soul' tends to come from areas outside the south of USA (Detroit, Chicago, Washington, New York, LA). However, I would be reluctant to assume that all of the soul that was considered high quality or successful in the US in the mid-60s was available on import or distributed by a British label…</p>
<p>Hello GS Simon,</p>
<p>The terminology can be confusing, I agree, especially as 'southern soul' does refer to soul that was geographically made in the southern states and, by coincidence, most 'northern soul' tends to come from areas outside the south of USA (Detroit, Chicago, Washington, New York, LA). However, I would be reluctant to assume that all of the soul that was considered high quality or successful in the US in the mid-60s was available on import or distributed by a British label at the same time. So, lots of music made on Chess and its subsidiaries wasn't heard until later in the UK, and that's why I think a lot of mods stick with northern soul, cos there were other factors that meant mods in the UK couldn't get to hear the sounds when they came out. I suppose because the northern scene is pretty exhaustive in its searching, the collectors have unearthed records that vary in quality. I agree that in some cases, records get played because they are rare, not so much because they are as great as The Temptations or Marvin Gaye. But I guess after 40 + years, these songs are now classics of their kind and much loved</p> OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!

<p>yes john and james i think your views are very valid ,and fair,,,but i was also thinking that northern soul,is only that ,when exported to UK from the states,so really in the states they would not know what NS is ,only soul,so ,if you like soul ,you must like this NAF 2nd rate soul,to me there are some great tunes,but i would say 85% of it was u.s.a throw backs,when you look at all the bands trying to brake through in the music industry you are only looking at a 10% success rate,all the rest…</p>

<p>Its a relativaly new mix: Mod/Northern,only recently have 'Soulies' suited them self up with a Gingham shirt and no tie! So it has been modded in that respect! Though this has been really prevelant in recent years, the old school look of Button down,Levis and doc martens was probably the most common look beforehand. I think back in the early eighties that was why the new 'Scooterboy' culture slid into the scene so easily! And god they were crying out for something to relate to having walked…</p>

There was a mass exodus from the mod scene with all the Sheep following there peers, but it a different story now with a huge amount returning to the mod scene,thank god for them that old saying' once a mod always a mod' else they would look like real plonkers!</p>
