Cheers! Second time for me. Thought it was a sort of once in a lifetime thing but we had such a great time time at the last one two years ago (and loved the city so much) that we thought, b*llocks to it - this is what we work for anyway.

As the seller says "100% authentic "original" recordings. Mint condition 7" 'pressing'."

I'm actually looking forward to a lot of the non-soul stuff too. PF Sloan for example. Roy head will be doing an R&B set and a rockabilly set later.

So apart from me and Mike Lofthouse, any other Soul Source members heading to New Orleans for this in a couple of weeks? https://www.ponderosastomp.com/concert_2015.php

The tent scene has always been pretty underground...

I've got a couple of Atlantic TPs but without the logo and label details at the top, as on the Benny Latimore and Barbara Lynn discs above. I bought the Les McCan one in the hope that it might contain the 'unbleeped' version of Compared to What. Naturally it didn't Curses - foiled again!

I struggled a bit at Lindisfarne festival a couple of weeks ago. An open sided dance tent with a gale blowing through it and my spot bounced from noon back to 10am. You can't say I'm not up for a challenge... There's always a learning point, however and this time it was focus on the stewards - if you can get them dancing, other people are intrigued as to what's going on and gradually you can drag 'em in

Red original with Bellsound stamp, slightly more orange boot.

As a further aside, I don't recall seeing any boots with "licensed to Soul Galore"tag. The ones that came into the shop I worked in the mid-late 70s didn't. Can anyone confirm for definite? We actually had a topic a few years ago that aimed to list all of Soussan's Soul Galore / Soul Fox records and we added this at the end: Reproductions of original labels marked "Licensed Exclusively to Soul Galore Productions" ASHFORD 1000 EDDIE PARKER – LOVE YOU BABY / INST CHIRRUP 1523 JOHNNY ROSS AND THE SOUL EXPLOSION - I CAN'T HELP MYSELF / SORE LOSER DISCOVERY 41541 VICKI NELSON - STONEY FACE / STAR FIRES - STONEY FACE INST JOKER 716 CONNIE CLARK - MY SUGAR BABY / INST MOHAWK 703 RITA DACOSTA - DON'T BRING ME DOWN / NO NO NO SUPER SOUND 7002 EULA COOPER - LET OUR LOVE GROW HIGHER / HAVE FAITH IN ME Additions are still welcome of course. Here's the original thread: /forums/topic/196167-soul-galore-label/#comment-1609113

The tune is an adaptation of "Elijah Rock" - a traditional gospel song. The best known version available on 45 is probably Mahalia Jackson's but there are also versions by Reverend Cleophus Robinson and Richard Baker. There are tons of album versions. I think Bettye swan's credit should be seen at best as one for the arrangement.

Looks like it was actually 30 + bands and DJs, with the live acts including a band The Casino All Stars - presumably NS covers bands then? As for whether using the term in the title makes it a Northern Soul event - well if playing garage, country, teen records etc at Northern Soul venues makes 'em NS records, I don't see why not Besides, lots of flared trousers evident in the pics so it must have been one....

Those with eyes not quite as keen as Chris's will notice that bloody great print used on the title, although spread over two lines on both Canadian and boots, splits them differently: Boot says A Lil Lovin' Sometimes Canadian says: A Lil Lovin' Sometimes ...and that's with my crappy eyes...

These are good tips. I'd add John L Jackson's 'A House on Fire' for the Philly scene and Rob Bowman's 'Soulsville USA' (Stax). Also, Ken Emerson's 'Always Magic in the Air', which is all about the Brill Building team, so not exclusively soul, but covers Bacharach and David, Pomus and Shuman, Leiber and Stoller, Goffin and King, Greenwich and Barry and therefore the Coasters, Drifters, Dixie Cups, Shirelles, Bessie Banks etc.

There are about a dozen of us from North Yorkshire and North East England coming over. My second Stomp and I can't wait!

I guess there's a lot of competition these days with Facebook etc, but for me Soul Source has always been the yardstick by which Soul Music forums (and arguably music forums of any kind) are measured. Long may it remain so thanks to the often unsung hard work from Mike and the team. Many happy returns Soul Source.

Hope the DJs who entertained you back then weren't quite as cynical or as disparaging about their audience

Apologies. There was nothing in post above when I added the auction result. Now redundant so deleted the post.

That was exactly the point I was making. Second time round I sold my 45 for £550 in less than an hour and it was paid for immediately. No commission, no fees and it went to someone who really wanted it. I'm really glad I didn't go down the high profile auction route in the end.

I associate Eddie Garrigan with Sam (Johnny Moore c/u). Not saying Richard didn't play it mind. Bloody impossible record to sell nowadays

I assume you've seen your guy's neutrals, Chris?

There was one on ebay just over a week ago I think. Clearly listed as a repress - by the current seller at least. What happens next depends on who bought it I guess...

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. In the end I stuck with advertising the 45 I had in mind myself. The golden lesson for me was that a lot of folk miss things so it's worth persevering. First time listed not a sniff. Second time sold within an hour and comments about what a hard record it is, wish I'd seen it etc.

Didn't Paul Kyser do a repress from original plates with virtually identical labels?
