Because thats what people post up Chalky!

He was with them for 2 years I think, he used to do half in German and half in English!

I'd say it's needle in a haystack rare

It sounds like all that 'upfront' people want to do is tear the Northern scene apart for their own means so that they can inflict the music that they want people to hear on everyone instead of playing what the punters want to hear. If you're into Northern Soul, surely it's not beyond reason to expect to actually hear Northern Soul when you go to a venue which advertises itself as a Northern Soul venue. Not funk or blues or sweet soul.

I just like Northern Soul

Thats a German tv show Mick, Beat Club

Under the category "I can't believe they played it" but what a great clip

Two cheap records but I think are very rare on demo - I turned up both within a week of each other a few years ago and haven't seen another since: andre maurice - you're the cream of the crop - white demo kim tolliver - i don't know what foot to dance on - white demo not exactly The Salvadors but bloomin' hard to find of course muggins here didn't read the full title of the topic which says "issues"

Yeah I did all that to be honest but I still wouldn't go to any Northern do's playing mainly Modern like a lot did, in fact I stopped going anywhere except the Old Vic

Buyer can't claim mate, you have to

Yes it is basically. It's useless full stop.

I can honestly claim to have sold one very well known DJ, Parkway issues of Vickie Baines, Christine Cooper and Janie Grant, as well as the Dean Courtney MGM stock copy. And he says I never do him any favours.

Absolutely - get well soon mate

That just shows them putting it on their system - it then disappears until someone signs for it.

Doesn't exist when gift. When sent normally, it has to go through all the official channels so you are actually protected there and you have to prove to them that you are trying to or have located the item
