SHEFFSOUL

...just goes to show..peoples opinions are as diverse as the 'scene'...footsee was massive and i still play my original emi disc of the first and best version (aka the sound of soul)..guys from uncle was also massive albeit briefly..frankie valli 'the night' is one of the greatest allniter sounds ever..'Panic' a casino monster and still sounds great..Tony Blackburn..joe 90 theme..and others were much worse..just listen to one of pete S wigan tapes from 74/75...you'll hear how popular some of those records were..

gotta be the earliest unless someones turns up a first night tape..i taped an allniter in april '74 (long since busted & lost) but taped another in June '74..i have it somewhere..but can recall it contained Kev Roberts,R Searling and Pep playing many classics and even motown (one way out) and Kev playing Ila Vanns 'You made me this way and The Free 'Takin it away'(took me years just to figure the title/artist) plus Connie Clarke, cool jerk '68 inst,Wombat,Yvonne Baker,Hollywood persuaders,Instigation,Stagemasters,..

Irma Thomas?..not exactly a ballad tho?

why?..its average at best..pretty crap otherwise..

..just picked up a copy of this..which (if any) tracks are/were sampled or played?..my fave is prob 'Excuses'...

chuck berry recordings were often speeded up then pressed...

hmm..i dispute that....i found a few demos in 73/74 in soul packs....

..two records i remember bitd were ride on - ebony jam and soon everything is gonna be alright.third time around .but cant remember which sides were more popular..i think it was the instrs..but i may be wrong...anyone recall?

..i'll give yer a tenner!

is this about a salvadors Boot?

yes another tricky one..i bought my first off Soul Bowl mid 70's..convinced it was real....BOOT!...orig is a pale olive as opposed to a more deeper, forest green..

as an overview..i guess the Manship PG5 gives lots of examples if you can manage to trawl through the exhaustive listings..but i thought the question was worth posting as many have never seen an original to compare ( Joe Douglas being a case in point) and BITD i remember the Capitol boots as tricky..so i hope people will keep posting as they have knowledge not always generally known .Oh btw another mystery is the boot of the Soul patrol 'save your love'. I recently posted about this as i'd bought a copy and was unsure to it being genuine. Neil Rushton , who had commissioned the boots mid 70,s said mine was orig..but opinion was still divided..and again the boot is prob rarer than its sibling...

and a lot of lemon lips..mine included

boot has a narrower deadwax, virtue matrix correct way round, and a small oval over the top of the E in En caldwell..

well as i added to earlier post..must be about 25 years..

..never knew joe Douglas had been booted..shit..just checked mine..its a BOOT!..and ive had it approx 25 years..could have sold it many times over..so most thought it was original...

i think there are a few like that..Detroit landapples for one..

usually non originals are identifiable by a series of label ,matrix ,pressing flaws..which are the hardest to decipher? and are ANY..foolproof...

hmm...always wondered...i first remember it from Samanthas/JV...

finally found some history..but the track PDRFM..mustve first been played almost as a new release (bit like the skullsnaps) so who first played it on the northern scene? was it from the album, which may have sparked the UK 45 release?

WHITE/..WOW..GREAT VOICE , IN FACT A GREAT 45.. hmm...can't find the thread...

VERY GOOD!!...I ALSO LIKE HIS 2005 VERSION FROM THE 'KEEP ON BELIEVING' ALBUM..AND ITS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE RIP OFF GLOLIGHT INSTRUMENTAL...

I'M ALMOST CERTAIN IT WAS '74..BECAUSE I WAS WITH DAVE RAISTRICK (WHO HAD A COPY) IN BLACKPOOL..JUST COME OUT OF SCOEYS..AND (WE KNEW IT WAS A BOOT) WERE CHATTING ABOUT LABEL DESIGN AND DAVE COMMENTED..' EVEN THO ITS A BOOTLEG..IT'LL BE WORTH SOMETHING ONE DAY..' IT JUST STUCK IN MY MIND....

LEARNING TO TRUST MY MAN AND PLEASE DONT RUN FROM ME.WERE THERE EVER US RELEASES 45/LP? IF NOT WHY? ANYONE KNOW? IS THIS THE SAME GC OF PARLIAMENTS/FUNKADELIC?

wow..must be good then..any chance of uncovering? or posting the track?
