I bought one in the UK around that time of a major very knowledgeable dealer. No cut off bottom or raised numbers. I was always weary of it being an original, but sold it to another major very knowledgeable dealer who said it was an original. The blotching got progressively worse over time which i assumed a reaction in in the glue.

Another one i love. Ray Winstone on organ, Shifty on guitar and Butch on drums, what's not to like?!

Correct Karl. Many record like CJ were imported by JA within months of their release. Some to specifically sell to Japan for the 'sweet soul' side. Bought by visitors to West Winch and the other side played out at 'northern soul' events, hence classified as a NS record. Sam Fletcher played on the Belgian Popcorn scene, played in the UK, and became a NS record.

I 'suffer' from a very, very, very mild form of it and a little of eidetic memory too. Maybe i should have partook in some of Billy from Stoke's merchandise at Stafford!

It's pity more people on the NS scene don't suffer from hyperthymesia (Hyperthymesia is a condition that leads people to be able to remember an abnormally large number of their life experiences in vivid detail. It is extraordinarily rare, with only about 60 people in the world having been diagnosed with the condition as of 2021.) Apparently it would be more common, but it is instantly cancelled out by the ingestion of amphetamine type drugs!

isn't NS a 'brand' to some degree nowadays? One which the populous in general can associate in some way? i.e. BBC news story this week, if then words were there, people wouldn't necessarily take any notice of the story?. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-birmingham-59064957

At that time Rob Thomas had those 4, plus another 2 or three copies where in the room. I seem to remember that some copies had grooves over the whole of the disk whilst a couple only 2/3rds . I don't know which were 'skippers', but assumed those with the grooves closer together were skippers due the fact they were more cramped up.

last weekend i was going through some old CDs and found a load from a CD swap on SS where the top value of the record was something like £20 - maybe that should be revisited (but no doubt the £20 tag is £100 now!) i think there was even a niter with the same ethos, but i don't know if it was ever repeated?
-
Agreed. I wonder if we'll ever see a 'northern soul records' equivalent of this post on Wikipedia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stolen_paintings

You've got more chance of getting a 100 copies of MDB than an original of this, thankfully legally reissued. Not bad for a bunch of G.I.s gigging in their spare time on a German airebase!

i get bored very easily so most tunes are flavour of the minute rather the month, but never get tired of this one being on replay. it's got everything and more besides, best thing I've heard in decades

What do auction prices tell us about current values
Simon T replied to Bbrich's topic in All About the SOUL
There could be thousands of collectors who only have one very expensive Holly Grail as their 'collection', i don't think the expression "fur coat, no knickers" came about by accident! -
The Don Gardner went to Australia via the short-lived company 'Lee Rogers Couriers Ltd' following a recommendation from another satisfied customer

The demos don't skip, except this one. The 'reissues' are styrene, I seem to remember

You've just had egg and chips and you dutifully hand washing your solitary plate: The detergent molecules look like a lollipop ---------O . The stick ------- is water hating (hydrophobic) and goes into the grease droplets. The lollipop end O is water loving (hydrophilic) and 'disperses' into the dish water, hence the water goes down the plug hole, taking the grease with it. Your plate is lovely and clean until you have beans on toast the next day If you want to give the acetate a gentle 'scrub', buy a child's toothbrush, bristles as soft as possible.

Mild detergent, luke warm water for the white oxidation NOTHING ALCOHOL BASED, LIGHTER FUEL, ACETONE ON ACETATES!!!!!!!

I thought it must have been around then. Gary Spencer did me a tape as Rubin Parker, plus Vondells (Athens Rouge) and a track which was a unrelesed Phil-LA test press - can't remember title, but it was on the bit of the taped that severely mangled and snapped.
-
Roughly what year was this?

My thoughts: Probably one for the cinema as cinematography is great. Young Aretha is a fantastic actress. Forest is his usual brilliant self. Jennifer is OK, much better singer than actor but was Aretha 'chosen one' for the part. You won't learn anything much new about AF, needs a 'part two' www.imdb.com/title/tt2452150/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 ARETHA IN A NUTSHELL_WMV V9.wmv

one Thursday morning in West Winch: "I'm the attorney for Robert Irvin, James Wagstaff, & Tony Sharp calling with regards to the Barons of Soul record you are selling." "Sorry that's already gone to Japan"
