So do I - two records which are among the best Northern dancers ever - I'd love to have been around when You're Ready Now was first discovered, Neil Rushton wrote in his book about how hearing this in 1969 set him on the road...

This is a truly fantastic version of the Cornelius Bros & Sister Rose classic. One of the most soulful reggae tunes around. Only selling this copy because I have a copy on Lord Koos. £25 plus £2.50 recorded postage if interested. Have a listen.. SOLD - COULD HAVE SOLD HALF A DOZEN OF THESE, I'LL SEE IF I CAN FIND A COUPLE MORE COPIES
-
So if you were offered two records of the same title but one was a copy, one was £3 and the other £300, wouldn't you try and find out which was the real one and which was the counterfeit or are you saying you'd be happy to pay £300 for the counterfeit just because you buy records you like? There's nothing anorakish about knowing what's what, it's common sense to me.

I had a Shirley Edwards like that. Loads of Shrine's have missing labels (like Arock and Sylvia also). Don't know what you're asking me though, Shrine's don't have delta numbers.

Thanks everyone for your help.
-
Neither had I until this summer. We're still trying to get some compensation! (This was a holiday not a weekender though)
-
I agree, plus you also get one of possibly the greatest 10 Northern Soul records ever made
-
Very simply, styrene is brittle plastic and you would be able to peel the label off (some styrene records had printed labels but these were phased out before bootlegs and reissues came along). Vinyl records are more flexible and you would never be able to peel the labels off. There are vinyl bootlegs and there are styrene bootlegs. One good, quick way of telling if you have a boot is to look for a triangle symbol and there will be a five figure or 6 figure number. If the number begins with a 9 or 10 then you know it was made between 1974 and 1977 so is unlikely to be an original 60's release.

If ever anyone sees something on youtube and wants to download it in a hurry, get a program called JDOWNLOADER it will record the video in 10 seconds or so. If you only want the audio from the clip, it will do that for you as well.

Doh!

Thanks Ricky, he's an old customer of mine, should have remembered
-
If you don't know how to tell the difference between pressings and originals - how did you know what to pay in the first place?
-
Knock 40 to 50 % off!
-
All were booted. Idle Few pressings are pale blue label, plus there is a white label one on vinyl with a ridge just before the centre hole which is also a boot. Kenny Smith if it's spelt Kenni Smith is a boot. Capreez original is vinyl, pressing is styrene. Ellusions original is vinyl, pressing is styrene.

Dave McCadden used to tell a nice story about Solomon King, apparently he used to live in the same street and he always gave the kids lollipops, so they called him the Lollipop Man, and one day they saw the Lollipop Man on Top Of The Pops! (Something like that anyway)
-
He still wasn't Solomon Burke
-
-
£20 ish
-
Sorry, answering my own question, yes it did. I still need one though but don't want to pay £12 for it like on Discogs!
-
Thought it did but not sure - did Roy Hamilton's The Panic Is On come out on a Stardust reissue? If so, I need one!
-
Has it come to this?
-
Absolutely right, Limitations is a Wigan and Cleethorpes oldie first spun 1975-76, I even had it on an Emidisc back then with Lainie Hill - Time Marches On on the other side so it's easy to date it.
-
That's what I meant - Fabulus part of Joe Boy :-)

Poll: Bbc Culture Show - Northern Soul - Your Take ?
Pete S replied to Mike's topic in All About the SOUL
This is what I was saying about the Levine documentary Carms. He interviews people who were regulars at the Wheel, in fact I think he interviewed Ivor Abaldi (sp.), they spoke to Roger Eagle the original dj just before he passed away, several of the movers and shakers of the time like Rob Bellars. They moved on to places like the Torch where they got Chris Burton, they had the guy who ran The Mecca at the time, and so on and so on. And it was also nice to see them interviewing people who were just regular patrons of those clubs to tell it how it really was.
