Anybody had stuff done at vinylcarvers and bought their labels for printing.I need a template that I can print to exact size...I'm sure someone on here must have done it in Photoshop.

Here's a few UK Things ... Pm me if you fancy anything.I think the Clyde Mcphatter is UK Only. Clyde Mcphatter-Only A Fool.UK Deram 1968...sublime mid tempo from his brief UK recording career.Ex Cond 30 UK pounds. Woody Herman- The Sidewinder UK CBS 1967...a great jazzy version on a demo 35 UK pounds ex cond The Skatalites-Don't Knock It...b side I Know...b side is a version of Barbara George..UK Decca demo 68.Ex Cond.30 UK Pounds Bo St Runners...Baby Never Say Goodbye...Get Out Of My Way...UK Columbia 1965...an eighties mod classic Ex Cond 50 UK pounds.

I've talked about Punk Northern in the past....Fishbone.What is northern? I see flyers with popcorn..r and b..crossover...Latin and across the board.Now we have to add Ghetto Funk...Gospel...and Punk Northern.I love all of this music even the Punk northern but....I don't want to hear it all at a northern soul do.Take the Latin...I've hundreds of records on cotique fania..tico ...uptite and I'm very deep into the Latin big band sound so when I go to a northern soul do I want to hear northern not Jack costanzos stab at Latin pop bugaloo.Same with Reggae...I've a massive reggae collection.Do I want to be at a soul do listening to Del Davis when I could be hearing Billy Procter.

I'm saying the same old records...I have two editions of the top 500 and I have all the books along with about 300 old blues and soul mags..I have actually put several 1 and a half hour mixes of underplayed and forgotten northern soul..one has over 30,000 hits so there must be people out there who want to hear forgotten underplayed stuff.The Top 500 is now a generic term for overplayed oldies.I have several tape masters and exclusives so I'm definately interested in one upmanship and the exclusive sound.Not interested in gospel though...I can see it live down the end of my road in church.

How about northern soul?? Mid to late sixties uptempo music that is based on the Motown beat...is that too radical?? Hopefully the oldies scene will have got sick of the same records being played over and over again and start digging for all the great northern records with the uptempo beat that fell through the cracks.

From.John Vincent.....he bought this as a total unknown acetate in 83 from John Anderson.It was unlabelled so he called it The Just Brothers.At some point it was briefly swapped with Searlings copy of Larry Clinton.John sold it back to John Anderson in 84 which is where Butch presumably got it from.An original Morecambe spin for John Vincent.

I think Chalky named them all on the actual thread when I originally posted this tape.

And the Brothers in Jazz,Trevor was from a northern soul scene background.Irven was from a jazz funk background.They went on to the Urdang academy in London and were regulars at the Wag in the eighties.This is pure jazz though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGDWczYvUq8 Heres Trevor explaining it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttW-m68Jiq0

Heres some early eighties northern dancing.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=ruIn8y6FOMw&NR=1

Oscar Romp is in this film.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlUYYdmBRU8

This was a big spin on the mod scene in 86. 87.....

Saw some amazing dancers in the early eighties.What ever happened to all those fast shufflers that used to dance to It Takes Time.You never see that now.I went on to the Jazz scene late eighties and nineties.Upstairs at The Wag some amazing dancing.Brothers In Jazz ...one of their members was an old northern soulie...I think there were a few that did jazz along with Northern inc myself Oscar Romp and Paul Sadot...I'm sure I saw him a few times at Dingwalls and a lover of Capoeira so the batucadas suited him.All the young revivalist dancers have chosen the mid seventies backdrop...throwing shapes style.Right got to get my pegs,kung fu slippers and sort my wedge out.

Theres a yellow label black alligator styrene boot...

Got a UK copy on Mojo with a mispelling of his name....Winfred 20 quid ex cond.

Boot has a thin white moon like circle on the outer rim.Printing mistake on the labels..a great clue for us Arthur Negis types...

Here's part 3.........hope I'm not duplicating your stuff.This is Neil Clowes and Neil Allen https://www.mixcloud.com/kevin-johansen/great-yarmouth-northern-soul-weekender-part-3/

I'm indifferent to it...I find it pleasant but its no Frank Beverley.Im in two minds about uploading to YouTube now as I got a few copyright claims and YouTube muted the music.I've put it on mixcloud which I think is the way forward.I've loads of other radio stuff on there as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E97PG9sl1I Here it is 0.32 Got another tape from Yarmouth to upload to mixcloud plus some other radio stuff.

Give me an hour and I will post the link...its also on.my soundcloud. Kevin Johansen

It's on my YouTube channel....type in great yarmouth northern soul butch....

Anyone got the Action and Roger Eagle shows he mentioned?

Finally got around to uploading this to youtube....from 1999.Fans of the label might enjoy this.

I bought boxes of them.as job lots....I'm.sure they were being advertised in the back of Echoes...best collections of northern tracks at the time...but not the best sound quality.

What colour came first? Think mines yellow.
