I think it's ace, personally, just right for a nighter IMHO, but at the same time I can't imagine a big name dj who'd play it out either. Sad statement of how safe our scene has become. It does deserve to be massive in the backrooms at least, and hope to dance to it somewhere real soon.

That'll be bonny Tyler then

I bet there's someone playing around with an edit as we speak.

Just heard Eddie pillar and keb, debating on this apparently thorny issue, on the excellent mod cast radio show. I've always thought it's just a pop tune that might get requested by a certain type of less discerning punter at a soul/ Motown night. Surely it wasn't played at nighters as a new release, was it?.

Wounded soul, pm if interested, UK post £3. Syl Foreman - Before I Leave You - big star - vg £30 on hold! rare green label variant. Play through fine with just a little surface noise that's overpowered by the music The Deltas - Hey Girl Just Like You / Do What Comes Easy- Chicago music bag - vg. £20 Vinyl is really clean, with just a few light marks. Labels have extensive water damage, hence price. Earl Wright - Them Love Blues / I Don't Know - virgo- vg £20 Vinyl has just light marks and plays great, label has some water damage. Still a good dj copy- Dan Brantley - You Got To Prove It / Begging Just Ain't My Bag - federal vg- £30 Has wear and a 2 cm edge crack. Hence price. Plays great. Great dancer similar to Daryll Banks and Major Burke's

A great listen, keb fully deserves the title legend, you won't get many better guys more interesting on our humble scene. Where can I find the other parts, mar mate?

Was massive in the 80's, Keele ect. Yeah, I can still go for that. https://youtu.be/R1wxj8B9Alw

Those toilets and re stocking the bar with a shopping trolly mid way through, only added to the ambiance.

Domar always used to tout this as a mecca record, didn't go, was it actually played? Has to be a contender if it was, I'm a zeppelin fan so love it, but in a northern soul context? What were Levine or Curtis thinking . https://youtu.be/ftknR1gf9qw

Yes totally but that quirkyness, is essentially northern soul, too. Especially when I was younger, I was always drawn to odd ball songs titles and lyrics.

Never went to wigan but love this from my own days on the scene this used to get some action at the 100 club. https://youtu.be/J2-33RbgVno

Surprised you can sell it, yourself f it's dodgy.

79, so Perhaps it got big after the hayday of booting, at least in 7 inch format.

Thanks, for that. very much a quality, early exclusive for wolvo. I'm assuming it didn't go massive at that time, although it's a known first play. When did it become a big sound then? Not aware of a wigan boot, so did it get more plays later, at Stafford then?

Just heard RS, spin this on a torch and catacombs special, I'd assumed late Wigan, or possibly Levine, but not played a lot, at the mecca. So when was this class northern outing first spun and by whom? Is Richard not sticking to his personally defined playlist, which is fine, or was this an early find, on the the scene?

Couple of shots from Bolehills, Sheffield from their recent track re opening jam.

I got a bobby off here for £100 a few year back think that was the rock bottom price for such a great record, it's only risen since, seen it sell recently at £175.

I assume there is no way of definitively knowing where a certain record was pressed in the run?

Really interesting read, I assume those numbers are theory, can the stampers be pushed to make more copies? Does the sound deteriorate? I can imagine some producers pushing those limits.

I'm still on weds.

Try posting in wants dude.

There are some great call's here, Eddie Parker, del parks, top shouts, epitome and superlatives, Bah, too close to Motown to be definitively 'Northern'. The okeh's again, very apt. However, I think you've missed this. Definitely from way before my era, but from that galloping piano intro that seems as though it's about to topple over, Chuck takes us on a manic ride that can only mean one thing- Northern soul. If you'd never heard it before, can you actually imagine that? it would literally blow your head clean off! https://youtu.be/IjJ8OfeeNHw

What's the dead wax on those razors? like like boots to me.

There's loads of records I'll can't bring myself to buy because they were so common at nighters in the 80's. Valantino' s is a good example. Few others like George Kirby, are relatively cheap.
