Got the I Believe In love somewhere............will dig it out. Wasn't SNB distributed by CBS.Theres a great stomper by Sue Wilshaw called Empty Sunday that must have got spins.
-
Could you walk into any record shop and buy them then.Were they distributed countrywide and were they advertised as pressings.What about dealers at the venues....it's a minefield now and theres the internet and books.There must have been plenty people sold a pressing as an original at 4am with the dark lights.Were there boxes stating BOOTLEGS and another box ORIGINALS.Theres hundreds/thousands of them out there. They must have sold by the bucketload. No wonder people stuck to UK releases..

A few more CBS including an early Pete Smith production...do you remember it Pete? and an early Ian Levine tailormade (Don Fardon demo)..........the Salena Jones is great.Will dig out some more. The Joe Benjamin is great and a uk black soul singer and produced by Rolf (bloody) Harris...my last copy went to Andy Lewis so maybe Weller will cover it....I couldn;t believe he did Tobacco Ash Sunday.Mickey Finn is far too nasty for here.. UPC was a subsiduary of CBS and recorded novelty records mostly...Barbara Windsor -what a Carry On etc but I know of 2 good sides Shakane-Find The Lady and this one.Love the logo on the Peaches And Herb....anyone know how many came out with this on.Looks as though they were going to run a soul series.
-
Will be digging the Us Stuff out.....this was the first pile.
-
What are the Pornodisc and York 45's ....i'vea few on that York label (mostly glam though).Is this a British demo thread?
-
Ah... written by Johnny Goodison who did One Mistake for Deram.......I'm sure I passed this over as a glam/pop 45 ie in the same style as Harley Quinn a few weeks ago.How good is it?

Were there sussed people who could differentiate boots from pressings at the time and were people bothered.Did the deejays from Wigan Torch etc play boots/emidiscs or were the boots just played at the backwater clubs ie the CD equivalent today.Were they frowned on?
-
Had this one for years and always thought it had a northern feel to it.I hope this style of funk and tempo become popular. I always wondered why They Call Me Mr Tibbs was never a big northern record.The Fred Williams style don't float my boat.Ernie and the Top Notes just seems like run of the mill boogaloo....Maybe suitable for the rare soul scene. https://www.youtube.c...11F3F1E4637905F

I didn't realise I had that many!! Which ones are rare as demos (if any)
-
I've a Bim and Bam comedy Pama Lp and theres another one Rising Stars at Evening Time with a donkey on it which has a good jazz track on it.

Richard Domar packs..........loads of the One Derful 45's,Ernie Marbray-Aint Nobodys business (multiple copies),Gene Woodbury- Thats Not Half Bad (multiple copies),Sugar Billy-Sugar Pie,Boss 4-Walkin By, Contenders-You Gotta Do,loads of Ric Tic stuff,loads of the Destiny reissue stuff and loads of what people now call "rare soul". Southern bluesy things ....and loads of copies of Otis Clay-Showplace along with the entire Alvin Cash and The Registers output . There were also loads of records with the name Hicky written on them in biro.
-
Bought the Mystics recently..................the northern style funk I'm into are Seventh Wonder,Baby Boy,June Taylor-Jealous Heart,Ron Kenoly-Movin On,World Column,Artistics-Chase Is On,There Was A time and loads of others.........the deep funk getting plays now are more the uuuuugh ohhhh good god yawl jerky gritty funk.That witch record posted earlier is good.
-
Stomper Ian.....it had a Uk release on yellow MGM I think.Not heard the Carl Douglas version but Ive got Crazy Feeling on UK Go.....and Kung Fu Fighting...lol.The Rocky Roberts is really good (glad I bought the other copy and it may be on Durium as well) and the Dave Antony is a version of Eddie Regan...i was being dragged away by my host
-
See my Turkish junkshop finds............you don't even have to go to the US.Most of the beat stuff I found will be ebayed to supplement the soul stuff.I might even sell the Linda Jones.It's easier now with the internet as you can actually listen to a lot more sounds and seek them out.Before the net it was just picking them out on spec or a TDK C90 tape your mate did.The only problem is how much to bribe your girlfriend/wife with when you want them few hours to wade through the stuff....even soundburgers are a lot cheaper.Even buy stuff you don't really like if you know you can move it on.
-
The Dave Anthony and the Bobby Freeman are Uk and US.........Got 2 copies of the Ebony Keyes and 2 of the Rocky Roberts which I bought blind.There wasn't much UK stuff but what there was were of the obscurer kind....had to wade through piles of Turkish 45's.As i said i bought about 100 beat/sike 45's as well.The Linda Jones was an oddball find tucked behind those Loma 45's but is a vinyl copy and in great shape.
-
Theres a great picture I have from an Observer magazine article with a great pic of a load of lads with a record box open proudly displaying Debbie Flemings Long Gone....one of them is an asian feller.
-
Got about 100 beat/sike 45's as well....
-
Just back from holiday in Turkey......took a day out and went junkshopping.Amongst a load of beat stuff managed to find these.A country with a lot of odd releases.Anybody know anything about this Rocky Roberts release...a stomper.
-
Youre young and not got the original vinyl...........sorry get junkshopping and finding sounds.A big part of the "northern soul" experience is the vinyl aspect...trading/buying/finding.Any monkey can buy a few hundred CDs and proclaim to be a deejay.If you want to be taken seriously then do the graft.If you don't want to be taken seriously then put on your northern soul CD night.I don't see how going to the HMV and playing a set from CD is "keeping the faith".There was a name for the mods who simply donned a parka and bought Carnaby Street patches and Jam shoes.....it was "plastic".These CD events are the equivalent.If you haven't got the original vinyl and have boots there's loads of dedicated deejays on here with a myriad of soul music on ovo (they are experts and should be used).Don't try fooling yourself with your Grapevine collection.The current mod scene is a mix of r&b,jazz,ska latin etc and isn't northern soul.They are two separate scenes as is "the soul scene".The northern soul scene was the mid seventies northern mod/scooter scene before the 79 revival and evolved from the late sixties twisted wheel scene. The hundred club originated I'm led to believe as a platform to play the early mod scene sounds and started playing out and out northern later on in the mixture.It then pulled in people from the eighties mod scene who got more into soul.

Ive a demo of the Doris Willingham plus a load of the non soul 45's Lyons And Malone (Mod),Mike Quinn (twee pop psych),Dee And The Quotum (great),Roundtable(funky organ inst) are all collectable records by psych heads.There's also some girlie pop stuff and a few reggae bits ( a thing called Banana by the EK Bunch which mentions skinheads is collectable). The Sugarlumps from memory is a reggae version with an early moog sound.The Swamp 45 is reggae and from memory Reggae 70 was a Dave Barker cover as is the Niyah 45 (poor version of Rolf Harris). The Complete Cycle 45 is to be avoided unless you like a sub standard version of Clearwater Revivals I'm On The Road Again. The Migil 5 is poor pop as is the Paul Shelley.The Gaslight 45 is great.

I'm sure the New Faces did this on Pye or Picadilly as well

P.p Arnold Everything's Gonna Be All Right 1980 Issue
Wiggyflat replied to Dean's topic in Look At Your Box
I think most people settle for the UK original or grey US boot (got rid of mine) ......there were some eighties Immediate things with unissued tracks on. There's a Traxter 45 released as a b side to a Crispian Peters thing and theres another similar sounding r&b organ instrumental on another one (title slips my mind).Both unreleased at the time. -
Pubs are shutting down everywhere.I recently did a drive from Islington up to Harlesden and counted 9 tinned up pubs.Luxury flats no doubt or evangelical churches.
