I know the following tracks were credited to the real artists: Reubel Bell, D‘Italians, Master Four, Embers, Sisters Three, Hal Hardy, Charmers, Inverts, Vito & Salutations, Bill Horton, Jackie Day, Eddie Holman, Chuck Carter, Jimmy Richards, Roscoe Shelton, Little Ann, Brooks Bros, Bobby Adams. And these are the cover ups I recalled: Phrenetics - uncredited acetate Tina Britt - Bunny Shivel on Capitol Fantastic Four - unissued Temptations Patty J - Paulette on Contact Can somebody help me with the others?

It's also on the German Jay Boy 45. Probably faulty tape.

Obviously, all members of this forum in general and all members frequenting this thread in particular. Have you answered in their name?

Who is "we"?

Just wondering, how do you guys want Northern Soul to continue as a dance scene?

1k reserve for Ronnie Dyson? Really???

Might have been just the stamper wearing off during the press?

Had my reservations when I read the opening post. Expected to see the same 3/4 figure tunes listed "as usual". But @Mal C listed a nice varied list that gives a good impression of what "modern" tunes are played these days in the UK. And many cheaper tunes among them. And it includes a few surprises as well like Ogletree Bros. Seems like it finally got the plays it deserves. Ah well, biggest modern nighter sounds. How about Jackson Sister - I believe in miracles? Even though it's been played as a new release it seems to be as popular as ever.

Not UK only I'm afraid.

I'm far from being a traditional northern soul fan. Infact I'm quite into new non-retro sound releases. But this one here, I'd say this is isn't soul at all. more like some cosmic balearic trance whatever underlayed with some beat.

yes you're right. adjusting pitch would be much harder.

And not just scratching. It's also easier to mix your records.

I'm no fan of national tournaments especially when germany is involved, so I follow the euro less than half-heartedly, maybe quarter-heartedly. But anyway, my teenage daughter watches almost every game. And based on what she told me I predict the final to be: a) spain - france or b) spain - germany (just realized, this is bs, they will be playing against each other in the quarter finals)

Please no "what you're willing to pay". Just name your price and I will say yes or no. Thank you.

I'm after a nice copy of Lillian Dupree - Hide and seek on D-Town. Please PM me if you can help. Thanks!

Yes, a more recent bootleg does exist. Don't know how to identify it but I understand it's of very low fi sound quality.

Charly Records was mentioned quite often in the "end is nigh" thread but didn't want to hijack that thread. I noticed that out of the blue Charly Records (weren't they bankrupt?) rose again and are releasing many 7" and LP's aiming for the Northern Soul market. Many of the 7" seem to feature alternative takes or unreleased tracks. Some of these alternative versions seem to be tailormade productions (Ian Levine again?). And then there's that "Levanna" comp which causes quite some stir. Does anybody know the story behind this flood of releases? Who's behind them?

Many thanks! It does sound like Little Anthony. Yet in parts the vocals sound a bit too fast. Like it was speeded up. I'm not sure it's him. Anyway, nice recording. But no Northern Soul appeal in my opinion. Like right in the middle between Kiki Dee and Derek Martin

Is there a soundfile anywhere available? I'm curious what it's like. The Derek Martin version is more in a Frank Sinatra posh night club swing kinda way.......

Oh was it Bee Gees? I thought it was Trammps. But anyway, that's not the point is it?

Earliest footage of people line dancing to blackamerican music that I remember is from around 1978....Saturday Night Fever... 😉

Even though green was probably the predominant colour there are plenty of legit black Challenge 45s around. Knickerbockers, Champs, etc.

Now that's something that I've been puzzling about a long time. Not if the Volumes on Pama does exist or not. I think it's established by now it doesn't. But why on earth would somebody fabricate such a fake scan and publish it? For what purpose?

Close. Philippines 45.

A few months ago I bought a job lot of 45s. Among them were ~80 UK Pop demos from the mid 50s to the mid 60s. Most were single sided with an "empty" groove on the flip. This one here looks just like one of those pressings.
