...which is from where I took that and the Ray Pollard, Sandra King, Jimmy Church, Buddy & Stacey, Eddie Hill, Joe Matthews, Spidells, Freddie North etc etc. If anyone wants to buy these, I've got 3 full shows, details on request.
-
I did pick one up for less than that. It was 6 years ago though. But I still veer towards agreeing with Simon.
-
Same as what he says.
-
These are great records and are deserved classics but it's just the simple statement "should funk be played in northern rooms" that's getting my back up and the answer is no - you might as well play roots reggae, it's made by black people but has nothing to do with "Northern Soul".
-
What in the name of all that's holy has Sister Lee got to do with funk Paul? It's out and out 60's Detroit Northern Soul.
-
I prefer instrumentals

You just won't have it will you, people like northern soul because it's different from other types of soul, don't want them all mixed in together, that makes it the equivalent of a 70's divs nightclub which we would have al avoided like the plague. Funk, modern, it has it's place, but it's not in the Northern room. A lot of people got into Northern in the first place as an escape from this sort of music! (I've no complain about the frankie crockers, diane jenkins etc, these are brilliant records but they were quasi-northern anyway)
-
It's not rare enough to have been bootlegged, not for the northern scene anyway
-
Pyramid would be one of the greatest records ever made even if it just consisted of that fantastic intro...spine tingling
-
You'll be needing this

Youngblood Smith is one of the greatest Northern dancers ever and Pyramid is one of the few 70's records that can be classed as brilliant...

Farmer John was by The Premiers

Yeah that blue one is the second blue press I mentioned above
-
There's a couple of blue ones - the first is a copy of the proper Suemi label, then some time later came another blue one but with the logo in a straight line, no idea when these came out but from memory they are similar to the Lainie Hall second pressing. As you say, there's a white one too, that came out way later than the 1975 blue one.
-
Generally thought to be a complete pressing cock up, should have been the vocals
-
Do you not remember that clip of him I put up on You Tube? It was fantastic - only known footage as far as I know, hopefully someone copied it and reposted it
-
This was a fantastic quality reissue but what a lot of people don't realise is that it's about 10 seconds shorter than the original on the fade out, Lou sings "Be on the first train tomorrow in the morning baby" and it ends on the boot, on the original it has a little bit more instrumntal then you hear him say "ah yes I will". A very boring fact but it was always something that bugged me, having had the longer version on an emidisc...

Two things to make you feel better Kevin: 1) you sold it for the correct price 2) I sold my first copy for £5 in 1982 - even with inflation that only equates to about £100 today if that. Last one I had about 4 years back, I sold for £350. this record is vastly overpriced, it's worth maybe £450. Because of these ridiculous auction prices, people start thinking that these are the prices they should be asking as it's the true value, and it's not.
-
It's £15 at record fairs all over the UK...

Tell me and I'll tell everyone else if you don't want to say anything.

What was American gangster like? Had it a couple of weeks but not watched it cos it was a cam but there's a screener up now
-
On now, Al Green followed by Angie Stone then The Soul Of Stax (again) - 3 hours worth
-
If it's posted on Soul Source it's to do with everyone who reads it.
-
They aren't smiley faces, they are faces of shock after seeing the asking price, but I'm glad you sold it.
