Massive handbag alert, I love it.. that actually looks like a laugh... line dancing with a room full of women... ! traditionalists' handbagers' god I never knew they existed!

I think authenticity for me might be a band like Snake Davis, I've no idea whether they are still together, but if you want a 'Northern Soul' band, well they have been there with so many of the biggest American singers haven’t they. You might call them a backing band, but I bet you they would say otherwsie... I agree with some of the above comments, the reference Paul to white lead singers, we all know Northern soul has been built on blue eyed soul singers, and black singers alike, if you knew anythig about NSoul its not an issue, and if it is, you need to do a bit of digging about the music you love... Love the Nosmo King clip, he came over as a genuinely nice guy didnt he, we all like a bit a 'Northern Pop' now and again, makes me happy

cheers Chalky, a few folks have advertised Manifestos for sale this week, but that issue hasn't turned up yet. Simon Green from Swindon was also in that feature if I remember right, allot of the S-Wales lot travelled to dos with the Swindon boys back then, very happy memories.

Cheers Robb, Yes I can see now it Mah's Music on the Sport 45. So it's safe to say that Andre williams is likey unreleased Inst, that was kept in the can. I simply came across an MP3 for this, and as I'm as anal as most of you lot, I wanted to fill in the release date, label, etc etc... Did Williams cut for Fortune while doing things at Sport, it seems allot of these Inst tracks pre date the late sixties, maybe the Fortune stuff is allot earlier...

Hi there, Im trying to find the orig label, or confirm if it was an unrelesed, Andre Williams - I'm Gonna Rat on You. I have found a listing for a Sport relese on Soulful Detroit Website, 107 Johnny Soul "I'm Gonna Rat On You"/"I Can't Buy No More" But no or little info on Andre Williams version, anybody know? Mal

Id love to see the photos Steve, ive pipped you a message, if you can get into the lockup, Im your man....

Ive got all those Andy, I could go home rich...

brilliant show, a lot of 'stimulants' this time out from Unnamed friends! laughing

really...? how come they always hit 3 figres, why not just 50 or 75 quid.... well we know why because 'Money' has always been an overiding part of record collecting, which at its silliest see's folks paying hundreds more for a different coloured labels, so there you go, fiull circle...

Thats an excellent track that Bobby Harden, I would add Oliver James - One and Only / Colemine as another... in fact I thnik Oliver James is a better track. the OVO thang was always daft, but then record collecting is daft isnt it... I sold most of my 100 Club Anni 45's some years ago, just kept my favorites, but I have to say I was made up when Paramount four came out on Kent select, I went to that nighter, so why would I pay 100 odd quid when I can get it for a tenner? Kent Select does not seem to get the attention of greedy sellers, except for Darrow Fletcher - Love Is My Secret Weapon, so you are always safe with Kent records. It does seem though if you miss these new releases at $10 bucks you could have to fork out, and if you do, and then it gets a run in grren and purple vinyl, well you have been 'had' havent you... that I dont like, so I dont buy em at inflated prices... good post and a subject that knarks allot of folks off....

sorry I had too... this will allow folks to be able to see you on the Dance Floor, and no problems with talc!

Hi folks, anybody got a spare copy of Manifesto that covered the big do at the Q Club in B'ham, when Edwin Star, Steve Mancha, JJ Barnes Played`? would be late 9ts, long time ago now, I cant remember the exact year. They ran a double page spread with a wide shot of JJ on stage... Mal

It's 2022 and Ive just come across this track again on my iTunes library, my question about what it is, is answered above, but Id like to know who owns a copy of the demo out there, is it a one off? mal

Picked up a copy on the Omnibus stand at London Book Fair week b4 last, it's a good read

I think Emma's first single was her best, and because of when it was released, mid covid lockdown, reminds me of that time, I was religiously listing to Eddie Pillars show on a Thursday, I still do, and I have to say his show and that track were a life line to normality... We shouldn’t be too harsh on Emma's music, sure it's poppy, but I can highlight far worse... good luck to her, this track isnt for me, but I hope it sells bucket loads...

Is this taken from the acetate that came up on Ebay some years back? think there may have been a few copies, or discs with either all or some of the tracks on there..

Wow, thats alot... its a semi rare 45, never liked 'Hey Girl', but the flip 'Need You so Bad' is a serious bit of Soul...

which Carroll Jones was it, Need You so Bad / Hey Girl or the other one?

Ted Wilson - This is Northern Soul! uurrr no, This is Ted Wilson and he sings out of tune... I'll give the backing is good...

also, has anybody ever seen Australian copies of : GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE PIPS - EVERY BEAT OF MY HEART/ROOM IN YOUR HEART / EMBER 8315 MICKEY STEVENSON - I NEED YOU SO/I'M ON MY WAY BACK TO YOU / EMBER 8337

as it says, Hanks reissued tracks on Spartan such as 'The Hawk' that was originally on MAHs.. there were not many on Spartan were there, its simply a comparison of thr type of label ken. Anyhow this looks to be another painful post, lets ditch it, Ive better things to do mate..
