I assume its a DC label

I’ve sent him a message to let him know mate.

I still do my homework when spending a tenner, must be stupid to spend £500 and not do anything and simply trust the seller.

Foolish Idiots and their money easily parted

The highest previous sale on discogs was £90 so where or how did the seller currently offering one come up with a price of £400?

The lack of an Alco stamp and delta number is a puzzle as well, they used that system at the time

The rumour of an A&M release has been around for decades. Never seen one and don’t know of anyone else either. I’d like to see the source for the inclusion in an A&M 774 listing, was it wishful thinking or did the listing come from the record company? Maybe it was slated for release but never was like many on other labels?

Yeah agree with that, don’t think it needs to be on the forum at all when you are just redirected from there and with nothing to read there

I don’t think it helps having to go on the topic in the forum and find nothing there but a link to the news item which is away from the main forum.

I’ve said exactly the same on previous releases when folk are more interested in talking the same old sh*te when far more interesting stuff passes by almost unnoticed

Excellent release as usual from Yann, Harvey Scales been finding a lot of favour on various facets of the scene and this will be a welcome addition.

Tim Ashibende makes a welcome return to join Dean Anderson in the studio for a three hour special, always a great show and an education with Tim.

maybe they are critical because it is not what the scene or even this site is really about. Soul Source - Rare Northern Soul Music. Topics like this and people like you continually watering it all down, the topic has been done to death with lengthy discussions but you feel the need to start another. Maybe just maybe many of us are getting tired of it? Many of us are tired of the mainstream commercialisation and reducing this once great scene down to div level. It is so far removed from the original ethos of the scene. If people want to wear crass t-shirts and look tw*ts on tv be my guest but don’t keep ramming it down our throats, keep it in that parallel’ universe where we can’t see it. I know we are getting older and don’t get up to the antics we used to but we do like to try and keep it real and still stay away from the divs we went to nighters to get away from in the first place.

They were indeed download and a cd too, home made. Lou Barreto put them out. The Gloria Jones was released on Phil Dick's label eventually.

And now they milk it for every last penny and drag it further into the div gutter

Why don’t they/you just leave it alone, it isn’t meant for the proms, it is meant to be in an a club preferably underground.

The topic made you look though and find the demo

I agree but because some do not like what the some or do or other things they get up to it doesn’t give anyone the right to troll, abuse and insult others. No one insulted or abused them. Of course there was plenty new to the music, it was essentially a proms audience.

More lazy journalism, you’d think with all the info out there including the full story on here by Andy Rix if memory serves he’d get it right.

Interesting reading and again some excellent information.

Another great topic with super info. Never seen the Summit release before.

I’m friends with Jack on there. I’ve asked him a few questions over time, last one last week but he rarely can remember anything.

It is real one. The stamp is M.S.I. Co, Philly pressing plant

This week Phil Beckwith makes a welcome return to the studio.

There are plenty of common records that are hard to get, they are now scarce with insufficient copies to meet any demand. No one was disputing that Eddie Parker was "hard to get", we was disputing the claim made by you and Frankie as to how many copies there actually was. I said myself earlier in the topic it was stuck in collections, too good to sell. It has been up for sale once in a while too, maybe not on major dealers lists. Just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean one hasn't sold. There are other ways records are sold.
