Thanks MFS45s Yep, and does make you wonder how many copies of the BLUE original were originaly pressed up by the record company on release at the time and what happened to them? possibly a local Hit ? Who Knows, but even so for copies not to turn up for sale in the USA never mind the UK in ANY quantity over the years is a mystery for sure.

Good question as i would not know where to start doing that, so hopefully someone out there can give us an answer or maybe a clue?

And as far as i know was my old DJ Stable Mate Pokes original Copy which was used for the Yellow Repress and came with typed out letter from Garry thanking Robin for the use of the Original Record so That Jesse Boone could Cut A New Master from in his Own Studio, Jesse also said that he could have re-pressed it the same as the first pressing if wanted that way but Gary told him of arrangements made with Robin so he did it differently, so a nice little in sight to the History of this wonderful record. My Blue Copy has the record address along the bottom edge of the label scratched out with a pin which was a bit of a trade mark of Soul Bowl back in the day as ewe all know

Yes i have Mike, but it is NOT for SALE, It's staying in my Play Box, just interested as i was asked if i would sell it it a year or two back and said NO, i would not know where to start to be honest, so just interested to know other peoples thoughts/opinions, hope that answers your question Mike.

If a BLUE copy came up for Auction in the Hands of say, John Manship, any realistic Guess on what it might fetch ?

Thanks Jessie, and as you say a fab tune but hey we are all learning every day what great songs there are out there and this is just one of them for you to love and cherish xx hope you went up on to YouTube or what other music platform you use and hear it in all its Glory, have fun, Rick

Just as a matter of interest then, has Any One on here seen one or lucky enough to have bought and owned one over the years or is it so dam rare it's pretty much off the scale.....

Thanks for that Simon, very interesting Link re "Poke Ruined My Life" and comment left. Will expand on other connections to that Story later......🙂

That Poke segmont explains a lot about the record itself and found it very interesting being a stable mate of Poke as most of you will know during the Cleethorpes Years, and as a DJ and Friend had a lot of time for him. He knew a bloody good tune when he head it 😉

Reason i ask the question as there have been some many supposedly rare records put up for Auction and fetching really Mind Blowing prices which have been said to be not that rare according to many members on here. So, Here is a record that that has never come up for sale/auction on Popsike or Discogs (original blue label) Hugh Boynton (soul-po-tion records SP144) US 1974 Blue Label Original. Hugh Boynton (soul-po-tion records SP144) US 1989 Yellow Label Re-issue. (Lots of these About) So If this came up let's say with JM Rare Record (or anyone else for that matter) for Auction How do we think this would fair in the Grand Scheme of things as this seems like a very rare record? Looking forward very much to your train of thoughts on this one.🙂

Ouch! I had the same thing happen to me at a do by a rather AMPLE CHESTED young Lady who leaned over the decks and caught the Balance Mechanism at back of the Tone Arm badly scratching my copy of Cornell Gunter - Love In My Heart (Together Records) now with a loud click at the intro, was not playing at the time but all cued up to play, was not best pleased as i never even got an apology, was gutted as just purchased from Soul Bowl for £75 which was a lot of money back then and was about to get its first airing for me 😪

Just to be clear the above time start and Finnish according to TV Schedules is 7:45 Start and 9:15 Ending

Just had a listen on YouTube and as expected .....Not Good, Well, not for me any way 🫣

Thank You For your Kind Words and I am so pleased you are enjoying all the lovely Tributes to Mary and the Late Colin, and the Glowing comments and messages from all of her wonderful friends in the Soul Community here on Soul - Source. Mary and Colin are both Extremely Well Thought Of ( as you can see) As are Their Other Two Babies, 'The Cleethorpes Pier' And 'The Cleethorpes Winter Gardens', Without Mary and Colin we would not have had such Iconic Venues to listen to the Music we Love, and such Brilliant Memories, even people who for what ever reasons were not able to attend speak very highly of them wishing they could have been there after hearing from friends what it was like to be on those Dance Floors and the countless tributes in print. I could go on and on but you can see for your selves and feel for your selves the love that people have For Mary, The 'Queen' of Northern Soul And Colin who was always by her Side. Rick 🎷😀

Yes it was called a Phone Box that doubled up as a toilet 😜 It meant getting up out of bed all hours of the morning to ring the states and the same phone box to ring for those in the UK until i got married and my Mrs had a phone put in.....

Very interesting question this, from a personal point of view i started collecting records at the age of 13 or 14 (1963/64) and first DJ'd around '67/68 ( I was 17 \ 18 years old then) Whilst i liked to go for obscure releases (records I didn't know but looked interesting and asked to have a listen to over the phone) usualy from record lists from the USA & UK obtained via Music mags (Soul And Pop) using the back pages advertisements, then as we know the term Northern Soul became a thing with it a lot of Snobbery creeping in and your 'oooooh you should only be playing Rare 60's records' and the purists who wouldn't have anything do with 70's (new releases or other) I got a lot of stick as did a lot of other Dj's did for being open minded and embracing records from any era old or new, my policy was i bought and played records i liked, not what other Dj's were playing just because they were BIG as a lot of BIG records played wern't my cup of tea and regards of Price or Rarety of records (many a cheap record were so much better than some expensive ones so it never bothered me) i just went my own way tried to find the best records i could find and just took it all on the chin 🤔

Would still like to know what you're favourite track by this wonderful singer is Soulsides seeing as the music video is blocked. Just For The Record Mine is Touching And Caring. Ta Muchly, Rick

Happy Birthday To Your Mum Annie Drew 💯 🎂 And I Hope She Gets a Card From The King. She Certainly Deserves One *Have a wonderful Day*

All very confusing regarding the TV viewing Plans for Northern Soul at the BBC Proms 2023 as i too checked the TV Schedules and found Nothing so not at all sure what is going on

When Aired on the 15th July i will watch it and form my own opinion of the Show like most people will. We have all been there befor with these sorts of shows , documentries etc. so why should this one be any different, we will just have to wait and see, if the Scene subject is treated with the respect it deserves we may all be in for a big surprise and it may come out smelling of roses, i really do hope so. 😀

Big, Big Cleethorpes Spin from 1976 from The Trammps Zing Album (also spun at numerous other events like Blackpool Mecca etc)

To Be Fair if you go and have a look at Johns description and information on the single and i quote it from it from that, is that he said, "It Became An Instant Cleethorpes Dance floor Success" Thats's it. He did not mention or Imply it was an All Nghter Play or An All Dayer Play (although yes, it did get those it's plays on its release) And that is the only reason i made a point of reply to Solidsouls Post. As we all know Cleethorpes went on long after the Pier All Nighters ended. The Winter Gardens of Course had one or two All Nighters and Regular All Dayers And your usual Northern Soul Nights along the way until it was closed, turned to Rubble and became a Car Park.......Shame Been some Interesting and Informative replies from members on here including Solidsoul and i thank you all for them all.... Rick 😀
