    Most talked about single, amongst who? A small circle of collectors in the grand scheme of things, that’s who. To the vast majority I doubt they even care if they see this in a glass case at Motown. Most would be more interested in Michael Jacksons glove although I’m not sure what that has to do with Motown as by the time he was wearing it he’d left! I would imagine the buliding, the studio, where and how the music was made is of more interest to most. The hype from the very beginning surrounding this has been ridiculous.

    The aim I believe is June and the Blackpool Soul Festival.

    It was a private sale not an auction as such. She got an offer and accepted it. There was no transparency like the last auction so doubt we will ge to know unless the buyer tells us.

    I have spoken to a few collectors, serious ones too and they don’t seem that interested by it and all said it wouldn’t be as desirable as one with a label.
  5. Chalky
    Its exactly the same as the others except pressed at a different plant
  6. Chalky
    Why do people think this is more desirable than the actual issue with the label on? After all that is all it is minus the label?

    As said it looks like a boot. What is in the deadwax/run out?

    How do we know it is Betty Willis the singer who is of interest to us? It is a shame whoever it is.. R.I.P.

    Here is the one on ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Northern-Soul-Repro-Golden-Torch-Stoke-On-Trent-Flyer-Patch-from-1970s-/311707978305 i think all the number 1’s refers to the spinners/djs

    The one on ebay looks more authentic even though a repro. March 16th 1973, thats when the license was refused so I guess not long after was the end.
  13. Chalky
    Those dates correspond woth 1973,the same poster is also on ebay as a repro

    Feel The Need In Me was first in the charts in 1972.....

    The Charades on MGM were James T Mack (John Mach), Cuba Gooding Snr, Howard Fowles and George Staley.

    Most decent mixers will have the monitor levels from which you should pick up the sound visially as it kicks in

    Highly recommend Dean Anderson’s TNT Soul Show every Thursday at 8 on Radio Newark. Top quality music and guests.

    Would they have been a later Mr M’s play as oldies?

    The anniversary 45 was a couple of years later in 1986. It was the 2nd time a 45 was given away.
  21. Chalky
    Thawas a bit later wasn’t it, 3 maybe 4 years?
  22. Chalky
    Was first played 84/85 but yes the anniversary single was the 5th or 6th anniversary in 86.

This compilation features both sides of The Scott Three’s in demand rarity “Running Wild (Ain’t Gonna Help You)/Gotta Find A New Love” they are joined by fellow Georgian Robert Montgomery (check out his two recent Soul Junction 45’s) with his previously unissued recording “Love Song About You”. The City of Brotherly Love is heavily represented in this compilation with acts such as The Toppiks with both sides of their desirable Larsam 45 “Give It A Chance To Grow/Surrender” and their previously unissued track “Win All Your Love” a recent release on a Soul Junction 45 (SJ1009) as the flip to The Cooperettes version of the same song, a double dose of Philly soul heaven. One side of Bobby Banks solitary Gil label release “Read It And Weep” is followed by Music Machines unissued sweet soul gem “Imitation Of Life”, originally recorded as the flipside to their Red Coach label outing “By The Hair On My Chinny Chin Chin” then inexplicably dropped in favour of an instrumental version of “Chinny Chin Chin”! The sound of Philadelphia continues through The Delagates Of Soul’s emotionally charged “Lucky Guy I Am”, The Four Thoughts “Plain As The Nose”, The Coalitions “Nothin’ Left 2 Do” and the all girl group The Jonesetts Cougar records double sider “Once I Had A Love/Stop Look Listen” With older sister Karin Jones later going on to record the respected solo album “Under The Influence Of Love” (Handshake Records). Chicago group The Flairs are featured with their recently reactivated mid tempo dance floor favourite “You Got To Steal It” the flipside of their Rap 45 “Where You Live” is also included a great song that needed to come out of the shadows of it’s more illustrious A-side. Detroit outfit The Holidays are represented through two of their own productions the uplifting dancer “I’m So Glad (That I Met You)” and their, oh so soulful “This Is Love (A Little Understanding)”. The final act featured is Cleveland Ohio’s The Donations with their mellifluous “I’m Going To Treat You Good” a group that later became World War III who recorded the currently very apt “If The Bomb Falls Were All Going Together” !

    If memory serves he wasn't a collector, he was from Hull and bought it for his wife. They split up some time later I believe.
