Thanks everyone and Martyn who PMed. Any idea where I can hear it on line, or a bit of it?

And a bit of sound if poss too. Ta Ady

Just about the first UK Northern bootleg by Jeff King of Leicester market, done before Northern had been named that (the scene was known as the Old Soul scene if anything then).

Sounds right, thanks gene, i guess I couldn't really have disguised that title!

Come on Smiffy, remind me what the hell I called it!

Great stuff, it's in the Far East now then! Do you know the person with it and could they do a high res scan for us please?

Thanks, I trust your memory better than mine

Thanks Benji. I'm not 100 % sure that's the one though, for some reason I remember it as a bell sound or associated acetate, could well be wrong though.

Does anyone have a scan of it or know who ended up with the copy I found and sold to Keb?

It's a wonderful achievement Mike and the Moderatorifiers (and the rest of us who still haven't grown up). As we say in London "Absolutely marvelous dahling. Mwah mwah"

It's the Additions and only on a Kent CD Dave Hamilton's Detroit Dancers Vol 2 CDKEND 177 as it was previously unreleased

This should have been the day we had six 100 Club threads going then!

I must admit, I'm swayed by Chorleysoul and modernRod. Roger Eagle: black music pioneer but not particularly Northern Soul pioneer, it sounds like he'd be happy with that too.

I started in Northants in early 69 and that scene had been about a few years already. Though the Wheel was accepted to be the brand leader it was far from influencing the scene like Wigan did in the 70s and when it closed down it only slightly strengthened our scene with more northerners coming down as one of the few areas to still have nighters. I'm sure Roger was a major contributor to the rare black music scene in general and especially in the north. i can see why some people are pissed off at his putting down the early Wheel scene but he'd probably had enough by then and wanted a change. His dissing is possibly symptomatic of not understanding it fully and the same happened in London, long time enthusiasts didn't like the new kids turning up records they hadn't seen before and not playing by the established authority's rules. Which is of course was what Dave Godin being an anarchist loved about it.

That's interesting, we had unissued tapes on the Del-Fis who were early Vandellas I think.

Excellent Marc, any chance of a scan of both sides? Low res will be fine. You ain't got the Melvin Davis on Ke Ke have you I need a good sound file to A-B it to a demo tape we found.

We got a master-tape of 436 in Dave Hamilton's tape collection. I don't know the Leon Peterson any Dave Hamilton credits?

If so who is it by? The titles should be Everything's Gonna Be Alright/Come Home To Me it's the release before JJ Barnes'

Baz, There's also GWP's Grapevine label that had these two great releases on it. Ady TAYLOR, DEBBIE Stop GWP GRAPEVINE 202 TAYLOR, DEBBIE Don't Nobody Mess With My Baby GWP GRAPEVINE 202 PERSIANS, The I Can't Take It Anymore GWP GRAPEVINE 201 PERSIANS, The Detour GWP GRAPEVINE 201

Which were t'others Dave and have you got them? I dug out some acetates for you, i just need to find where I put them!

Says interested parteeeeeeeeeeeee.

call yourselves collectors! Get shifting those boxes.

Could anyone do me a scan and/or soundfile of any of these please. Ta Ady

It's still paying her mortgage though!
