Product Description

Tamla Motown, Stax, Atlantic, Blue Note - just four of the key labels that produced some of the greatest music of all time. In the 60s, a phenomenon began in the North of England where a whole generation worshipped the soul music of the era and travelled the country to weekenders and all-nighters in the search for the perfect soul record. To this day, soul is one of the most passionately supported music phenomena in the world - here is a prime example of one person's absolute dedication.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Story of a Love for Soul - So Real You Can Belive You Where There - Well Done to Reg Stickings., 25 Jun 2008

By	Mrs. E. Sibley "Elaine Sibley" (Scotland - UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book an amazing read. I almost felt I was being taken by the hand to a place where we can all say we wanted to be, it's like when you hear of the stories of love, pain and laughter that people tell and you feel you wish you had been a part of it. Reg has a heartfelt way of sharing his passion for the sounds of soul that so many of us can relate to. We are also taken on a journey of dreams and determination. As I read 'Searching for Soul' I found myself back in a time when music was important to so many of us. I couldn't help but smile as I read through the list of sounds that had slipped my mind, thinking wow I remember that brilliant sound. It made me take out my old records dust them off and chill while I listened. Thank you for sharing your life of music so far......I say so far because I hope there will be more to come. I had tears of sadness and felt the loss of loved ones too. You know you made me think how lucky we all are we could follow the love for music so much easier than some can today.......I guess we have computers and mobiles to thank for that! I take my hat off to Reg he let me in on an experience that I had never been on. Although I was in my teens in the 70s and loved music. I never went to Wigan or the wonderful places the story takes us through but I feel that I have been there, even smelt the blood sweat and tears and felt that talc on the bouncing floor....through the eyes of a person who has such a passion for his music which he can relate to chapters of his life like I do with a photo album. Thank you for sharing your story told with good honest passion.

One more thing to add you are an encouragement to everyone who has ever been told, and people yet to be told, that they will not do well by our wonderful education system! For someone who can openly admit that reading and writing have been a struggle and to go on and achieve this book you are truly AMAZING - well done.

A brilliant read that I couldn't put down - Thanks for the tears, love and laughter.

Elaine - John'O'Groats - Scotland - If you have not read this yet - go on treat yourself

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant but disappointing, 17 Jul 2009

By	F. Davies (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found the book so good i could not put it down and i received the book at 10am and finished it at 4pm. I have to admit i shed a few tears along the way.Although i was never a out and out Northern soul fan i did all those years ago feel the fans of that genre were ripped of with atrocious tinny sound systems in the clubs.In my title for my review i use the word disappointing and this is because Reg seems to be a bit Homophobic which does not rest easy with me at all.The gay scene and the gay clubs were responsible for breaking some of the best tracks you have ever heard.But respect to Reg for a wonderful read.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a very lucky man.., 11 Dec 2007

By	Soul Heaven "Davey Jones" (New York) - See all my reviews

........is one of the opening lines in Reg's book, and I consider myself a very lucky man, to have met Reg, and his family, and to have a copy of this wonderful book to hand. Reg is an inspiration, to those of us who want to write a book. Reg had difficulites reading and writing in the early days, and this book is a testimonial to Reg's hard work. Written in a style, that is so warm, heartfelt and open - the language we all speak.

In Reg's own words - this is a journey that we have all been through, irrespective of musical tastes, this journey evokes all those wonderful memories of a time when the world was a little nicer to us all.

You will cry, laugh and be inspired by this gem. You can't help but warm to little Reg, and his exploits from the 1960's to the present day.

I have been lucky to have Reg read excerpts to me from his book, and I eagerly await the audio storybook.

I would say - that you will warm to this story and to Reg, as soon as you pick it up and read the first page............The Journey Begins.
