3rd Benidorm International Northern Soul Fiesta Update May 2018
Bit of an update for Fiesta Goers... As usual we will commence the shinnanegans on Wednesday Night with a couple of parties: One Main Room and the Cotton Club will host a 70s night which was enjoyed by so many last year. We have The Underground Mod Night on Friday Night which will feature a FULL LIVE SHOW from Barcelona' s premier band: The Twisted Wheels. The Scooter Show is on Saturday afternoon. Eddie Holman LIVE! in The Auditorio on Saturday Night whilst The Cotton Club will feature 2 Allnighters (Fri & Sat), hosted by the Cream of the European Soul Scene. In amongst all this are the Movin' On A Groove Soul Sessions at The Talk Of The Coast! So... bring a thirst, an appetite, yer best dancin' shooze and a sense of humour! Don't be peaking too early peeps! - Dave Soul Source event guide entry has more details here https://www.soul-source.co.uk/calendar/event/52827-the-third-benidorm-international-northern-soul-fiesta/

News: Northern Soul Connections #13 - Sherry & Inverts Neighbourhood
These features are great, thanks for sharing them. Just to add a little snippet of info... I asked Billy Jackson about the Tower 45 and he was adamant it wasn't his work. When I pointed out that it must have been as he worked closely with Jimmy Wisner the 'penny dropped'. "Ah in that case it is Jimmy putting me down as the writer so I might make a few bucks". He and Jimmy were close in those days and Jimmy apparently did that on a number of occasions to help Billy out. A decade ago a couple of us reunited them for a fantastic lunch where we simply put the dictaphone recorder on and let them run with their memories. Sadly both now passed away but a fantastic legacy from both of them will ensure they are always remembered and revered in music circles. Regards, Dave

Is it, time to sell up.?
I think everyone should sell up. Lets get all the 45s out there on the market and flog 'em off so the price tumbles and we all start from scratch again. Whose going first! LOL! Dave

Betty Boo-Spellbound
Play it! 100% play it! It's an unreleased at the time masterpiece. There's a world of difference in my eyes to 'DJs' playing something like this and trotting out 17 dodgy reissues/bootlegs. Some of the Pied Piper stuff from Ady was originally released on CD so when the 45s were done should we not buy 'em and play 'em? Surely that can't be right? Best, Dave

Postage cost to spain
I don't accept signed for. It's a service that is a pain in the arse for me. I live 20 miles from the Post Office. Many signed for packages are addressed to addresses that the posties here don't actually deliver too. Especially in rural areas. Which means a 40 mile round trip. Whereas regular post gets dropped in my box at the end of the street. Just putting some perspective on it is all. Dave

Postage cost to spain
That's certainly not my experience mate. I've had 1000s of packages delivered from all over the world and only ever had 1 drama (which turned up via Venezuela 3 months late). Juan, my postie would be aghast that his service is regarded as 'notorious'. Dave

I love em all but voted for Mr Jackson. His vocal gymnastics just shaded it for me. Dave

Johnny Stiles - Harthon Legend Passes
It's with a sad heart that I have to pass on that Mr Johnny Stiles, the guy who was one third of The Harthon Trio has passed away. With Luther Randolph in a hospice the end of an era is approaching. I'm so glad that he and Luther saw The Philly Book and enjoyed it so much. As is usual in my world at these times I will not focus on the sad passing of a man whose music touched us and whose appearance at the 3rd Hitsville Weekender left us with a raft of wonderful memories. I'll raise a glass to the legacy of his musical life and play a few 45s that proudly bear his name. Sleep well Johnny and our most heartfelt congratulations Sir on a job well done! - Dave

Jim smirk
Very sad to hear of yet another of that famous gang of lads that were true friends to each other and so many others. Glenn and Dave will have a third stool now as they no doubt spend endless hours enjoying each others company. A very sad day. Condolences to all family and friends. Dave

Drill holes in records
On the subject of returns there are a few of us who believe this mark on many early Detroit 45s is also part of that deletion return system. The mark seems to be a DR and is in the same handwriting. there was also the gold paint splotch that prevented returned unsold stock from being mixed up with full price stock too. Dave
