Urban Myths Of Northern Soul


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys/gals,

Always been intrigued by 'ghost' records & super rare discs & the stories & urban myths behind them.

So thought I'd start my first thread here, so go easy on me, hope it's in the right place & hope the subject hasn't been done to death already.

I'll kick off with a record by MAJOR LANCE, THINK NOTHING ABOUT IT on Okeh 7200, does this record actually exist in this format?

Has anyone ever seen it & does anyone know the story why this record actually never got cut? (or maybe it did).

Feel free to chip in with your own 'northern myth'.

Cheers ears

Aid.

It certainly got recorded, although whether it made it to the pressing plant is a different matter

Okeh 7200 - Think Nothing About It* / It's Alright - 1964 *Recorded 18-October-1963.

Steve and I used to submit the occasional Top 5 Plays from the Glenrothes YM niters to Echoes. One time - 'phet fuelled mischieviousness, it must be said - we invented a tune in the hope of luring some bugger into claiming they used to have it. Sadly, no one took the bait and pretended they knew Oscar Montenegro - You Fooled A Fool (Burning Beak) but a couple of lads did ask about it at the next niter...:lol:

I think more to the point 'Has had a fantastic oldies collection' over the years, but won't hang on to much if tradeable against a more urgent want :lol: - particularly oldies.

In fact very little of any of his collection is sacrosanct against a more important want. Recently traded Richard Caiton - I like to get near you and Tearra - Just Loving You as just two examples that most people would take to their grave.
