Wiggyflat

A lot of the instrumentals were lifted from.easy listening lp's which were made for the American ma and pa to try and get down with the kids.Lord Sitar Black is Black and Paint It Black were from The Folkswingers lp.The Camel's Strings It's Too Late was another.Can't remember the lp and The Total Eclipse lp brought us 6 o'clock or Supertime.

I think it was a great idea.Gave you a flavour of what was being played.I revived it for one of my flyers about 4 years ago and Dave Evison said he had not seen it since the early eighties.The standard of flyers today is shocking,Scooters and targets with owls.Photoshop has a lot to answer for.I even saw an advert for a £30 soul weekender at Scarborough with no deejays advertised. What is that about?.

Has he still got his synthesiser and did he play it on the Sandy Golden 45?

All of my UK is filed by label order in company sleeves with plastic cover.To find something it's the Record Collector book and then serial number.Reggae is the same as most is British.Albums in genre order but in a mess at the moment.Us Soul is all over the place!

Great list of titles but I'm only really interested in anything with unreleased stuff.Will be buying the Georgie Fame ep for Hot Shot.Is the Small Faces concept lp just a straight reissue of Ogdens?

With a thread on The Contemplations and the excellent Alone With No Love got me thinking that the record has some jazz flute element to it.Off the top of my head there are the obvious tracks with Jazzy elements Philly Dog by Herbie Mann,The Bottle,Karmello Brooks, Sonny Cravers I'm No Fool.I can always remember Gilles Peterson playing Elsie Mae and thinking this is mid tempo northern.Can anyone recommend any more.

Sorry I must be getting confused with Andy Dyson.Hamburg is a great weekend but it is not a northern soul weekend.There seems to be a big divide with that scene on one side and the northern soul oldies scene which gives no time for the hundreds of old style underplayed oldies.What sort of stuff gets played at Longton?

Apologies.I think the thread went back to 2010 or 2011.There were a lot of podcasts and I'm guessing it was Karl Heards.

I have listened to the podcasts that were up and representative of Lifeline a year ago and especially listened to a Karl Heard one but I'm sorry to say I didn't like the music.

Steve I go to Germany quite a bit and have been to Hamburg etc.They seem to take their influences from the rare soul side of it rather than the northern side.There are a lot of funk and crossover records played along with r&b. If an oldie is played it's usually a rare one.... No Time/Can't Get Over These Memories etc.It is collector driven still over there and bootleg Dave has not got a stranglehold.It is quite refreshing going over there but don't expect northern soul as we know it.The equivalent scene in the uk is the gigs I go to in Dulwich....which beggars the question.Who are the upfront northern soul deejays??

Bought three sixties Blues and Souls this week inc the Otis cover one.£15 a pop.

Sir Henry Ivy is a reactivated oldie.I'm sure it was played by Soul Sam as was the Rufus Wood 2001 record at the end of Wigan.I heard James Pogson play the Sir Henry Ivy and eventually got one...am I upfront.No I think I like a good record.Im with Pete though I don't rate the other records.

VG and above copy wanted.PM Me

I have a Jamaica issue of this.Was this a boot?

It has the same label as my other Shapiro and Bernstein acetate which is Ben E Kings I Can't Break The News which is Ben E King...I found this in the UK and I'm sure it was used to try and get UK artists to cover the song.The Dakotas covered I Can't Break The News.The writing on the front is in the same style as the Ben E King acetate but larger.

Jimmy Ruffin acetate northern soul:

I am guessing this is British.Can't find anything on it but then I'm no Tamla expert.Anyone know anything about it?

I first heard Tim Brown play it on the Richard Searling show. I think he explains the background on here.RICHARD SEARLING SHOW JAZZ FM NORTHERN SOUL GUEST TIM BROWN: https://youtu.be/R2D3fibsWaY

An ex demo copy of this to trade.Looking for a Billy Hambric She Said Goodbye on Drum or something else in the same price range.PM Me with your offers.

He has written 158 on it just to confuse the novice even further.Why doesn't he write in the description.This is a seventies reissue with the green label removed and a copy of the original released label stuck in to replace it to make it look like the original sixties release.

Definitely a pinky label.I have one somewhere

Ian is right there are a load of people out there who have no interest in the history of the soul scene and just want to use them at the hundreds of Soul nights or bar gigs who advertise...vinyl....Deejays who discover these records are going to have to start covering up again if they want to have exclusives.

Here's a bit from a hippie mag.
