Roburt Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I know quite a few boot 45's fetch decent money these days (sometimes coz the buyer is confused about what he's actually getting but other times coz of true demand), but do any of the old 80's boot LP's fetch above £5 or so ?? I still have quite a few 1980's Soul Supply albums that if I recall correctly I bought direct from the shop in Mansfield (40 White Hart St) in the mid 80's. I believe they cost me £5 for 6 LP's as the shop seemed to have 100's of copies of each one just sitting in the racks. Mainly contained 1960's indie label things that had been big Wigan tracks but a couple featured some or all 1970's recordings that had also been big on the scene. I don't think any of the LP's have been out of their sleeves in over 20 years but guess they don't fetch enough to make it worthwhile moving em on.
Sunnysoul Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Weren't all the Soul Supply releases legally licensed ?

KevH Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Not sure on price,but i think a friend of mine has a couple of these.That's the shop where Tich worked,owned by Kev Roberts.?

Mick Sway Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 FYI I was recently the subject of a rather objectionable e mail, threatening me with legal action for just linking "Bootlegs and Re-issues" together in the title of an on line photo collection, of 45 record scans. It made me realise how dangerous it can be referring to a series of records as "bootlegs" without any material evidence.

pikeys dog Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 You could also buy them in HMV, Our Price records and GT News - that's where mine came from. Sheffield City Library had them in their vinyl section as well - if they were 'boots' how the hell did they end up with them?
Soul-slider Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I got some of mine from 'Andy's Records' in the high street. I got the first 3 'Soul Supply' single Lps then they started the double 'Northern Soul Story' and the first 2 volumes are fantastic gatefold sleeves with some terrific photos. A couple of the later ones had a poster inside. I'm pretty sure some of those double volumes have fetched £25 on the bay.
Premium Stuff Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Is there a complete lost of these LPs somewhere with the track listings? Have a couple of the early ones including those nice gatefold sleeve double LPs. Cheers Richard 1
Soul-slider Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 The first 'Soul Supply' single L.Ps that came out just prior to 'The Northern Soul Story' doubles were: 'That Driving Beat' SS101 'That Driving Beat' SS101 (alt cover, alt track listing) SS102 (?) 'Soulful Kinda Music' SS103 'The Untouchables' SS104 'The Modern Times' SS105 All these have tracks that then came out on the Northern Soul Story doubles (not sure of 102 as I don't have it unless they just changed the number on the SS101 alternative LP which is probably likely).
Soul-slider Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 SS104 fairly tough one to get and a corker!
Premium Stuff Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Cheers mate - yes, that's a good one - got that I'm pleased to say
Petebangor Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Ive got the 'Modern soul story volume 1' double Lp. It's got some great tracks on it, including the ever in demand Stevens and Foster 'I want to be loved' There's a couple for sale on Discogs €45 and $75 . A bit steep, I would have thought

SS102 is 'For Collectors Only' and like SS104, has some excellent tracks on it. 1
Davetay Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Can't remember how many single LPs there were without checking? There were 20 double LPs, Northern Soul vols 1 to 16, Modern Soul vols 1 to 3 and a Detroit double. I sold the 16 Northern ones to someone on here about 3 years ago.

Daved Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 I've got a couple more too. I can't remember the exact titles but one was full of instrumentals only. Soulful Kinda Music is a great LP.
Premium Stuff Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 The instrumentals one was "After The Session" I think. Have it somewhere. Cheers Richard 1
Pete S Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 All of the single albums were then used as part of the Northern Soul Story double albums.
Ernie Andrews Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) You could buy them in local record shops here in Aberdeen Edited September 10, 2013 by Ernie Andrews
pogo paul Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 You could buy them in local record shops here in Aberdeen Same in Devon, great source for introducing new sounds,unknown to me.Then buying original 45's at nighters. Although not great quality recordings, which was rectified with the superior Kent releases !
Peter99 Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 So are they legitimate releases or boots? I sometimes get the impression that people are quicker to judge/condemn certain people and not others. Just an observation like. Peter
Roburt Posted September 10, 2013 Author Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) So are they legitimate releases or boots? Peter I have it on good authority (American label owners, artists, etc.) that many (all?) of the tracks included on these releases weren't licensed from their owners and royalties weren't paid to track owners, song writers, etc.) ......... so in my book that makes them Boots.

boba Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 i have a random question based on one of those jackets. That Soul Incorporated "What goes up must come down" was really only released as Soul Inc. on Emblem, and never came out as "Soul Incorporated" on a "Boo" label, correct? Was this LP the source of the information (or if wrong, misinformation)? Thanks in advance.

I'm asking because I'm trying to correct an entry in Soul Harmony Singles that has this single listed on "Boo". There is no reference to a "Boo recording" anywhere on the Emblem 45. Maybe it was someone's cover up related thing?

boba Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks a lot, i think that seals the deal on it not existing on "Boo" (aside from the fact that I've never seen it). Maybe someone bootlegged it on it with fake credits or something, maybe it was cover-up related, maybe it was just something they put on the LP -- not relevant to me at this point.

George G Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 I still have a few of these that I bought from a Boston (US) record store c. 1990. Might be interesting to know how many US stores were selling them. They were somewhat influental on me - I was well aware of Northern Soul but had no idea what most of the records sounded like, it was cool to match stuff on want lists to the songs on the LPs. Crediting people, labels, publishers without doing anything about the actual legalities was the MO for Bomp records and the Pebbles/High in the Mid 60s garage comps. It gave the appearance to a casual snooper that it was somewhat credible.

They were in all UK record shops - Our Price, Virgin, all the High Street outlets had them, I bought all of them as they were issued from Our Price in Hastings, maybe after about NS Story 7 or 8 they had more trouble distributing them as I remember having to send off for a few after that.

Thanks in advance. there were quite a few mistakes on these LP's, some even came with stickers with the correct info over the mistakes, I always thought that sort of thing only added to the 'Obscure' feel they had, Personally I love them all..
