SHEFFSOUL

i first saw talc used at the Queens hall allnighter in april (i think) 1974. The damp concrete floor of the old tramshed was definitely not condusive to northern soul dancing, the dance fashion at the time was the fast spins and most dancers used it for that....

george blackwell - demo? Joe Hicks demo? johnny dunn demo? (veep) not the repress

shortly after it was pressed first time in late 74/75..original copies were about for £6...i bought one ..i think there are plenty of copies but prob in collections..£250-300 seems a fair current value..

again massive at the casino..i always liked it..but never liked ' what a difference..' or 'night of the wolf'..

agree..TD Valentine was massive in '74 stll a good tune!

names ive forgotten..the rest will always stay with me as a very lucky escape... sometime around '76 myself and a guy called Ray travelled from Skegness to the casino..i'd been going since '74 and after the niter we went for a pint of milk from the corner shop with a girlfriend, leaving another guy we barely knew in the car park. Upon our return we were collared by the DS who arrested barely known guy 'walking around in a daze' asked if he was alone he replied 'No i'm waiting for friends' (duh)..all four of us were arrested and taken to Wigan nick, searched..and asked to provide a urine sampleThe jail was packed with soulies some heavy types among them.I refused for several hours then realised a hopeless situation.I complied, we were released and told that we'd be up in court in Wigan in a month.Back in Skegness Ray and i moped about, shunning all things 'northern'.We'd a job DJing on Saturdays evenings and had to cancel a booking due to a wedding in Wigan!!.Then out the blue!..a letter stating we'd no longer be required but to take this as a severe warning!! weeks later we returned to the casino and learned that our lucky escape being due to the fact that the court was overbooked, Wigan DS choosing to concentrate on known dealers etc rather than (what would've been first time offenders) among then a Manchester crew with a guy called Big Willie? anyway we were off the hook..I'd been searched many times before and after but that was the closest shave..many i suspect were'nt so fortunate..

some well known ones..can anyone complete the list.. COASTERS - CRAZY BABY - FREDDIE JONES MELVIN CARTER - MIDNIGHT BREW - JOHNNY JACKSON

ANY CHANCE OF POSTING THE DEEP SIDE?

i had approx 6 copies of the enchantments vis soul bowl soul packs ..i hated it cos i thiught the vocals were crap..i sold them at cllethorpes via a pal.. for approx £1-2 each...

never seen this imprint before..i thought the patches label was a fake being used by SS on his Willie Hutch bootleg..

thanks

found this on popsike.. NORTHERN SOUL - WILLIE MITCHELL - THE CHAMPION End price: USD 144 End date: 2007-05-04 Start price: USD 40 Start date: 2007-04-27 Number of bids: 6 Auctioned at: ebay Country: Great Britain Picture copyright held by photographer. If you are the photographer of this picture and would like it removed please email us. Genuine original sixties issue of The Champion pts 1 & 2. The US original is an EP and it was later released in 1976 in the UK on London. This is the only way as far as I know to own it as a genuine sixties issue single. The numbers on the label are upside down, which is a sign of an original Decca distributed record, as with original John E. Pauls ect. I've had Manship confirm the authenticity of the item. There is a small tear on one side and a sticker mark on the other. I've graded it at VG+ visually, but it plays through beautifully. This is the same copy that was sold on ebay about two or so years ago. I will refund in full within 7 days if you are not happy with the item. Contact me for shipping costs/insurance. I will ship worldwide. Thanks!

many songs were released later than country of origin discs...esp tamla motown..even chuck berry & bo diddley on London were released in the UK way after orig release in US...heres what i know..i bought the willie mitchell 45 with a bunch of 45's mostly 60's tamla motown, Atlantic , stateside all on SA ..all were unplayed in original sleeves, at first i thought they were UK for export due to the Dollys record bar stamp on some of the sleeves, however the owner of the warehouse told me he'd bought out Dollys entire when she closed in early 70's.. she had a store in Brixton Hill, a suburb of Johannesburg, NOT BRIXTON HILL London as i'd thought..i'm not trying to big the 45 up..i'm just curious to its release..i had the US LP when it was a biggie at Wigan..but never knew of a 45 45rpm issue apart from the black london release in the 70,s...any info appreciated...

with label scans...so, whats the story? looks 60's but maybe later..anyone else have one..

AGREE..HE DOES GREAT PODCASTS..BUT TELL ME HOW DO YOU DOWNLOAD THEM?
