    If it was booted on Out of The Past it must have been pretty close to the Torch era, given who was involved with that particular logo.
  2. Kegsy
    Most probably, it was definitely around that time.
  3. Kegsy
    Would have thought so which means it may have been done prior to the torch maybe up the junction days. Could have even been played at the wheel.
  4. Kegsy
    Pressed up when the Torch was open, if memory serves.

    Having just looked at the vinyl album back cover it isn't on there, and it isn't on the CD version either, which contains some bonus tracks.

    Both Mecca plays, but they were not the required, at Wigan at the time, uptempo banging Northern. There were dozens of tunes like these that never made it at the time, but have had their true recognition since. There are also tunes,that were played back then, like Court Davis , that SHOULD have stayed under the radar IMHO.

    And on every bleeding copy of that god awful record he never forgot it once.

    You may already be aware of this, but if not here goes. The "soul music scene" existed long before the "northern soul scene", plus the soul scene continued alongside the northern scene with clubs playing more disco, funky soul music, that was unlikely to be played on the Northern Scene. As I said you may be aware of this, but its important to understand the distinction. Many people would attend both types of venue, whereas some wouldn't be seen dead at the their non preferred format. I suppose what I'm trying to say is, that the northern scene grew out of the original soul scene but did NOT supercede or replace it.

    Too late for that love.

    Good point, young fella me lad, I missed that bit, perhaps the terms of reference need more clarification. A "History of Northern Soul" and "the impact of soul music in Britain from the 1960s to the late 1970s." are two totally different kettles of fish.
  11. Kegsy
    I think the man has set his timescale in the first line, plus he says "soul music" and not specifically "Northern Soul" which didn't have a name til 1971/72. It's a common error on the scene, that it's always been about was is now called "Northern", when in actual fact it was originally any soul music, fast, slow or mid-tempo. Plus if you go further back into the Mod scene of the early/mid sixties, where the roots really lie, all sorts of music was played.
  12. Kegsy
    Well that's probably 3 quid more than our friend Mr Bentley would offer, plus he would expect free shipping.
  13. Kegsy
    Thanks for the replies lads, will try a couple tomorrow, after testing on a C&W record !!!!!!!!.
  14. Kegsy
    Don't have either, would Turps/white spirit be as good ?.

    I have a £500 record that is in M- condition except for some dry/hardened glue on the run in. It had been kept in an paper sleeve that had been sellotaped along the bottom. The record has picked up a small amount of the glue, not much, the record can still be cued up carefully. What's the best way to remove the glue.
  16. Kegsy
    Fair enough.
  17. Kegsy
    For a record described as VG-/G+, holy bleeding moly, more money than sense anybody ?.
  18. Kegsy
    Definitely played at the Torch, although I reckon it pre-dates the Torch, I think it was played at a nighter in Bradford, the L'Ambassadour. If so then it may even have got spins at The Wheel, I never went so don't know, but somebody will. The timing would be right as people were picking up on Ric-Tic, Mirwood and other labels in the later Wheel years.
  19. Kegsy
    A rarer Black Issue copy VG+ at least, maybe a bit better but not quite Ex 3/4 light marks on each side. There is a name written on label, (but its in black marker, on the black part of the label ???) and can only be seen at certain angles when the light catches it. £650 inc UK postage (overseas will be extra). Please PM me if you are interested. Thanks for looking.

    I don't think it was released in the U.K. due to it's popularity as it was 1971 not long after it was released in the States. I remember it being played on A&M as a new release. I'm not trying to question J.A. and his reasons for whatever he did, I'm trying to establish a time line for it's discovery, it being played and the find from the recording engineer. I think Steve G. has answered the question now as he reckons it was an unknown before J.A. picked up those 8 copies.
  21. Kegsy
    Yes, but it also came out in the UK when released so it was never really that rare.
  22. Kegsy
    It begs the question when this meeting took place. Was the record already known or did J.A. hear and like it. If the record was already known/big, then why leave any copies behind, unless of course the engineer wouldn't part with them. It also begs the question, if the record wasn't already known, why go anywhere near Sussex records as there is little else of interest to the rare soul collector, on the label.
  23. Kegsy
    OK will do, may see him today if not tomorrow evening for sure. Maybe you can give him a bell.
  24. Kegsy
    Seconded, definate Mecca play before anywhere else.
  25. Kegsy
    It's certainly an odd one, as just about every other number around 213, Decisions, Presidents, Bill Withers etc. were available by the boatload on Bradford Market. I think Sussex survived til about 75 or early 76, which would make the time line wrong for the label closure, as the record was played long before that.
