I’ve had this issue before. Dependent on the extent of the pressing error, I use a TINY strategically placed dot on the label right at the edge of the centre at the point where the label and the adapter touch, and place the record there. Fine if at home, not so after a few pints on the decks in a dimly lit club I must admit.

Soul Reflections: 45rpm Singles and EP Picture Covers (Soul Artists 1960-1971) ebook / PDF - by E. Mark Windle ***£4.99 - Order via link below*** The popularity of 1960s soul music globally is evidenced by the vast range of releases of US soul records in other countries. With the resurgence of interest in 1960s soul and R&B throughout Europe and elsewhere, these formats have now taken on an appeal of their own. Picture covers carry intrinsic historical value. Cover art may consist of photographic images of artists, use a stylistic approach, or a combination of both. Where photographic portraits are presented, in some cases they provide the only known images of lesser known soul artists. Around 150 picture covers are presented from the US but also Europe, UK, Japan and other countries. Each record carries a footnote of points of historical interest. This book should appeal to all lovers of soul music including collectors of classic , northern / rare soul, Motown and blue eyed soul.

1975: A Year in the Life of Northern Soul - a new book by Tim Brown. HUGE seller over Christmas, and now back in stock! ***Order via link below*** In the author's words: The first ever detailed look at one specific year in the history of Northern Soul focuses on its most important one. It was the year when seventies soul was embraced to sit alongside traditional sixties stompers in all dancehalls and venues such as Cleethorpes Pier and The Ritz, Manchester, as all-dayers took a hold on the scene. Wigan Casino and the Blackpool Mecca remained as twin towers of the nightlife, however. Television, radio, and newspapers were fascinated by the ultimate underground music scene and this book analyses their interest. Tim Brown, author of "The Wigan Casino Years", details the events, stories and discoveries as they unfolded, many of which are recounted for the first time. A definitive account of a year in the life of Northern Soul, richly illustrated in full gloss colour (hardback, new, 208 pages).
