  2. owwwwwwowoooowoooowo laydeeeeee in greeeeeen owwwwwwwwowo laydeeeee in green TOTAL CRAP
  3. Sell them privately and cut out the middle man. You will get far more for them.
  4. VG or better condition. Can anyone confirm a UK Stateside issue?
  5. Did it empty straight away?...which Ellie Greenwich one was it and was there a drastic change in tempowhich is why people left the floor?I hate dancefloors where they have the lights on...you feel as though you're on a football pitch.
  6. Ive about 7 or 8 photos from the Catacoombs...got them from Martin Allsop
  7. Marilyn Powell-Something To Hold On To -UK CBS........Great track.Wait until Im sober and I wuill dig the UK boxes out.
  8. Pony Train -Titus Turner.......poor
  9. Great stuff, Gene released quite a lot of records. Suprised there hasn't been a comp.Im sure he was asian as Ive a pic cover from 66/67 where he is wearing an earring.Who was the bloke that did Hey Little Boy on CBS? Tony Wilson-What Did I Do Jimmy Thomas-Springtime Notations-Need Your Love (Great track on Chapter One Records) Mixtures-Monkey Jazz (this sounds like moondance....ten years before Moondance) The James Galt Tracks In My Own Way and a Most Unusual Feeling (got a spare US copy on Arora although Im sure he is British)
  10. Some great stuff UK only Britt-You Really Have Started Something Gene Latter-Ways Stewart Brown-Dont Call Me (great track on RCA) The Exotics-I Dont Want Nobody To Lead Me On (issued twice 2 diff versions) Soulmates-Saying Something Carl Douglas-Crazy Feeling Chants-Ive Been Trying Ive got a record on the UK Paradox label with press sheet (can't remember record) brown label Tonny Rich-Dont Mention Her Name Detours-Hanging On Sue Lynn-Baby Baby Baby Flirtations-Hold On To Me Babe (Don't think this got a US release) Salena Jones-Baby Dont Get Crazy UK CBS thing female singer the track is Something To Hold On To.mmmm Got a great maximum sound studios acetate of a track called Call Me A Friend Going to have to rifle through my UK boxes......seems to me there's loads of mod style stuff that came out in the UK.I'm not bothered whether its US or UK but prefer UK produced stuff on UK labels.Loads of UK stuff seemed to come out on Parrott in the US.
  11. £25,492.00 ...........So the producer got that.I wonder how much dribbles down to the artists and then the musicians.They were probably paid a flat fee like library musicians.Bump shop copies will probably rise in value now.Keeping my copy though...Dennis Coffey on guitar I think.
  12. Great record. Gilles Peterson stuck it on a comp which is how Adidas probably picked up on it.Im sure it was played in a record shop in the Martin Freeman documentary on Detroit in front of the producer of it.Hopefully he will get a few dollars out of it.
  13. Any chance of a list of Big Cleethorpes sounds and records that were pioneered there and then went big elsewhere.
  14. I'm confused. I bought Grease Wheels 45 by the Smokin Shades Of Black at Dingwalls from a dealer called Alan in 88. I bought it as a funk instrumental (a break from buying Candido and Jack Costanzo LP's). Just dug it out and I now think of it as a great northern soul instrumental...does this mean it has crossed over as it's gone from the funk box to the northern box?? .
  15. So someone got in touch with Kama Sutra in the US and arranged with them to have a few thousand pressed for the UK northern soul market??. I thought Ember had the rights to that label in the UK.? They pressed it with English labels (Im assuming its the 71 no centre issue as Ive never seen a US 45 with the typical English 3 prong which is on one of my copies)...so that makes the 71 3 prong the original and the no centre the US pressed custom pressed legitimate second UK issue....and wait for it the mispressed no centre custom UK pressing econd issue pressed in the US with the wrong track is the rarity....Who had it pressed then.It mut have been before the soul fox was around.
  16. So its a UK Kama Sutra then...I bet some Soul Fox wasn't happy though even though he liked an instrumental...of course.I suppose either my solid centre or the no centre is a boot then.Funny that they decided to boot a UK issue though. So the number one UK soul rarity is an early seventies UK boot..............what karma
  17. Can someone clarify.Wasn't the Billy Harner instrumental on a US only and they got sent back and destroyed..I've 2 UK copies one a full centre and the other without a centre.Will have to dig them out in case theres an instrumental (dream on...)
  18. I'm sure the Oakland Chapter of the Hells Angels would have had something to say if the cast of Hells Angels were riding Jap bikes and wearing leather jackets with studs and BSA on them.Sonny Barger had an active input on the Hells Angels films so they didn't get it wrong.They also have Hells Angels trademarked.Who has Wigan Casino and northern soul trademarked then??? .I'm not asking the producers to recreate the Casino at Elstree (there's plenty of venues similar) but things like clothing,cars,magazines,badges,records,language,hair,furniture can be got right at little expense.If you can't get the bags that were used right and you stick it on the front of your poster/DVD cover what hope is there?. Who are they asking?What is wrong with attention to detail? If the producers are reading the threads who were their advisors on these matters??? Wheres our Sonny Barger?
  19. Attention to detail and integrity.....whats the problem with that????. Well it would be an off the shelf non italian mudflap because the picture was taken in 76 and these are northern scooterboys from York who did go to Wigan Casino.You could have had a few of these in the film........but that is research... a dirty word??It shows you care and want to represent the time it was made and not throw something together willy nilly.So it doesnt matter if Adolf Hitler is wearing a digital watch in a film,that the Titanic is actually a tug in Hull.I would have thought most filmakers care about their work and want to present it as best they could especially with a historic film (which is what this film is ie set in the seventies).The first thing you see is the cover of this DVD and it's a modern produced cheap bag.How hard was it to source an original????It shows from the outset that the dirty word care was not used.Still no answer if they are wearing those holdalls in the film.There is no excuse for bad research with the worldwide internet at the fingertips.This may be the tip of the iceberg,Im waiting for them to attend the northern soul wedding in Frank Wilson watches and cufflinks.
  20. No these are mods....not sure if they are going to Stafford.Ipso factor films please note the adidas bag on the scoot...(a NORTHERN SOUL HOLDALL)
  21. Come on it will be soul holdalls at dawn next........An ipso factor holdall or a real soulies holdall...who will win Can someone please tell me whether they are walking around with these holdalls in the film or not?.
