‘Northern Soul’ is shorthand for a once ‘underground’ subculture that originally developed among young, mostly working-class people in the north of England in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The same capacitor (again not on the schematic) is also found on T60 amps designated for export to the USA. That both amps were produced for export is clear from the presence of a grey 0.01uf 500v Radiospares "snubber" capacitor (not represented on the schematics) at their mains switches (positioned to the left of the choke in the AC50).

"The one from George is the 12-string Rickenbacker, the Shea Stadium one, which he also used on recordings." Years ago, what I got for my 21st birthday was a movie camera from Ringo and a guitar from George and a Monarch guitar from John ". The guitar I play on the track - but not on the video - of "This is Where I Came In" is an acoustic Gibson Monarch. MAURICE: (Smiling, nodding) "That's right.
