I think the bootlegs are rare Andy, Ive not seen many anyway

Its not exactly rocket science................. Also the words chip, shoulder & on come to mind

Agree with Rod, you'd have to go a long way to find a better seller. Grading is spot on and if you win one i guarantee it will be dropping through your letterbox in 7 days. Only downside is he always gets top prices so chances of a bargain are slim

I suppose it depends where you go, I can only remember hearing it 2 or 3 times since Wigan Great record BTW, love it

Yeah I went to that mate, bought a yellow copy of the Superlatives for a fiver - funny how some things stick in your mind, can't remember much else about it

Thats what most collectors do with their records....

What did he say that i didn't? This is just a wind up

"This is where the confusion comes in. There is a musical genre called Northern soul. It was coined by the African American community itself. Soul, Northern soul, Southern soul, Juke style soul, Jive, Go-Go, etc. These are terminologies given to these genres by the community. The people themselves. In time Those outside of the community may attempt to call it something else and claim it originated some where else or was coined some where else. It would be harder to do these days, but not impossible. "NORTHERN SOUL" is an example of how this can happen. The true History of this community in the field of their own music and terminologies has been dealt such injustice it's almost unreal." I really don't see what you're arguing here. There isn't any confusion. Our "northern soul" is not the same as your "northern soul' Your use of the term was first, so what? who cares? You're arguing about two entirely separate things, one of which you know very little about

I agree , its crap mate but I doubt if anything will ever be done about it

Same here I've got a box full that I can't bear to throw away, I got them ready to go in the bin a while ago but somehow they ended up in my shed

I'm afraid you're missing the point entirely, there could have been little green men on mars calling something or other northern soul. The "northern soul" that is discussed on this forum is the music scene that originated in England and has nothing to do with "what we referred to as garage parties particularly in D.C, Philly, parts of Richmond and northern Virginia as our "NORTHERN SOUL BROTHERS" apart from where northern soul music comes from of course

Sad news - he was lovely bloke, RIP mate

You're got a vivid imagination Carl...........

How many young people were there though? I'm extremely sceptical about this "new generation of young uns who will carry the scene on" that people keep talking about.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that she'd denied ever recording this in the 60s?

Travesty - coming to a soul night near you courtesy of Bootleg Bill your friendly neighbourhood Northern Soul "DJ"................

Abssolutely, I'm gonna get a neck injury looking at ebay - I just sit there shaking my head thinking WTF??

Yeah thats right mate, a lot of top DJ's did it for next to nothing because they knew we were running the club for the right reasons which says a lot to me - its not always about money. The right people in a room enjoying quality music together

Personally I'm trying to limit my exposure to Eddie Parker - I'm gone which is on the verge of becoming overplayed for me and I'd hate to get fed up of it

Was just gonna post the same thing - "DJ's" please take note!!!!!!

The first lot are still easily available so I'll list them at £6 each or £30 for the lot (plus actual cost of postage) All are M- 005 Danny Cobus / Chico & Buddy 008 Otis Redding / Barbara & The Browns 018 Willie Bollinger / Willie Walker 021 Paramount Four / James Carpenter 022 JT Rhythm / OC Tolbert 025 Pat Hunt / Mamie Perry SOLD Now a couple not so easy: 007 Luther Ingram / Chet "Poison" Ivey - the only copy I can see for sale is on discogs @ £65 002 Pretenders / John Edwards - can't find any copies of this for sale but theres one on popsike that went for £50 in 2014 SOLD - it went for £50 So Ive no idea how to price these last two so anyone interested make me an offer Cheers

Beat me to it.....

So true Back on topic - 4 grand for a G+ cracked record??? What planet is this bloke from??

Crikey what would you give to have been there that night? RIP Eddie, another one gone.........

I only mention if its a messy one
