I remember my mate Mick Humphries paying £4 for it at the Lantern All Nighter in Market Harborough around 1970, that was a fortune then, nearly a weeks wages and the EMI would have been a cheaper option. The record collecting scene wasn't at all developed even a UK issue from 4 years before was very tough to find. There were only a hand full of occasional dealers and only one or two people travelling to the States.

There are undoubtedly proper original release EMI Discs, I have several and that Garnet Mimms looks genuine but you'd need to know some of the history of the disc before you could authenticate it.
-
Well that's way earlier than the London cut ones (a little place off denmark st, the old Tin Pan Alley) so it's odd that I remember them being such a novelty. Either way they were considered almost as good as the real thing back then; you could advertise 'Times A Wasting' at your dance (see my recent treatise in Northern Monsters!) and not many would care what label it was on.
-
The ones cut in London in the early 70s, which I'm pretty sure were the first on the scene as no-one up North seemed to know where to get them done, were at one point considered almost as good to own as the original. Certain dealers would sell the original to a Northern DJ, not letting him know they'd done it and felt like they had got one over on the buyer in the deal. Big records were called "Sounds" and if you had the "Sound" it didn't make much difference what label it was. A bootleg was worth the same as an original once it was pressed.

S-S is lovely but not a dancer, the title begins with "Can't" but I keep getting the rest of it wrong!

One of them is an unissued Opals Okeh recording, there's the Holly Maxwell unissued Chess and the Demures I Wanna Be Good To You all unissued masters. A crossover one I play by the Paramount 4 is similar and I think as good as Unique Blend and there's a stunning male vocal group acetate by the Quotations I Wanna Thank You Baby. They're all from different sources but I reckon I've got as good a batch of new stuff as in the RCA unissued days. It's just finding the time and the crowd to play them to.

Johnny G, Jack's manager, just rang me to say there were rumours at Stoke this weekend that the next Jack's nighter had been cancelled. Not at all, it's never been in doubt. Butch, Mick Smith, Keith Money, Warren Boogaloo, Adam Torel and I will be playing some superlative soul sounds from 10pm-7am. The rumour probably started because the R&B nighter Hard As Nails that I have nothing to do with has cancelled all their future nights at the venue. See y'all on the 18th when 6TS 28th anniversary tickets for the 100 Club nighter on Sept 22nd go on sale. Ady

That'd be me squire, I worked for the chaps who ran it and learned my dealing trade there. The US trips were for myself, I still live near the Beeb. Most famous find on there was a 25 box of Jimmy Thomas' The Beautiful Night' when it was massive and there were only one or two known copies.

I nearly covered one of theirs, may have been the 'Every Night' one. But I didn't.

Duke & Leonard "just Do The Best You Can"
Ady Croasdell replied to Sunnysoul's topic in Record Wants
Thanks Dan, it might help and though I tend to Gareth's argument it could conceivably be the man on his travels or even a lease to a NYC label, I've got enough egg on my face from stuff in the past to never discount anything nowadays. -
Duke & Leonard "just Do The Best You Can"
Ady Croasdell replied to Sunnysoul's topic in Record Wants
I think Gareth's about right, didn't Casey-Jones produce other stuff too? Len J would have done his own production. He's dead now but I'm trying to track his family down, his work needs documenting properly. Any leads would be gratefully received. Gareth you should have got to the 100 Club earlier I played it about 10pm! -
That's the one Hun' thanks a bunch Ady

No Sian, but it's brilliant and I've just lost half an hour of a very busy day! The one I want is about posters of big soul revue's from the 60s, it was on here about a year ago I think. Thanks Ady

Anyone give me a link to the thread we had going on old US soul posters particularly the big Revue type ones. Ta Ady PS Excuse my French

Due to computers being really mean and nasty to me and the odd crisis or three, I’ve not been able to do a proper mail-out or even get the new memberships sorted properly. Rest assured you’ll all get in tonight, the memberships are optional now anyway with the new licensing laws and you don’t really need them. The new membership cards will be on the door to be picked up. We’ve got a great DJ line up tonight featuring Butch, Mick Smith, John Weston, Mick H, Paul McKay and myself. As a rough guide, we’ll be playing club soul and well known stuff up to 1 am and the rarer dog’s bollocks after that through till 6 am. Don’t forget you can legally drink now right through to 5 am; so pace yourselves! Ady

Early 6ts/100 Club Membership List - Wot Number U Got?
Ady Croasdell replied to a topic in All About the SOUL
The first design was totally different as shown on the cover of the Right Back Where We Started From, then Clarkie did a new design and we stuck with that for a few years, changing colours when we ran out. At some stage in the 80s we started up the numbering system again so I'm afraid the first 300 originals will all be on the one-sided oblong ones. -
Northern` N Drinkin` Dont Mix,or Does It Poll
Ady Croasdell replied to a topic in All About the SOUL
Tell 'em they'll be OK until 5am now with the new 9-6 license. And with the extra bouncers around the drinks on the floor scenario should be over. -
At Cleethorpes it lasts ten minutes, no-one takes it too seriously, some lucky sods get dosh, CDs and books and enough people enjoy it to warrant it's continuation. Hop next door for a bit of Modern or upstairs for ten minutes R&B if it's all too much!
