No one has heard everything, that includes Phil. The topic is about collecting isn't it, not DJing? Either way there are plenty of hidden, forgotten and ignored gems that won't break the bank. Throughout the history of the scene many records were out of the reach of the ordinary collector, price not always the issue but where you were on the pecking order with many of the top sounds never getting further than the top few DJ's at the time. Now at least most of the 45's that come to market everyone has a chance at if they have the money that is, they don't disappear to a select few. Of course the large majority of traditional northern soul dancers have been found, what does one expect after the USA has been scoured for 40 odd years. But that isn't to say that things are still turning up now and then and that people are turning to the many 45's ignored when they once had a large pool of records to choose from. Tastes have developed and matured. Plenty of venues thriving on these records so it isn't all doom and gloom. I will agree with Phil that the nighter scene is on life support. Too many offer nothing but what has been hammered to death already, formulaic DJing with no imagination, all following what the others are doing. But as far as collecting goes, plenty to satisfy all bank balances IMO.

5 Royales Catch The Teardrops

The tape is dated 20th September 1983. It isn't a live tape so he more than likely played it out as Robert Red Top Young, it does sound better than Marvin and His Main Men though lol

I will see if I can find the tape listing with it as Marvin? He more than likely played it out under a couple of names.

Marvin and the Main Men I have the cover up name as. he may well have used a couple of names, not unusual for Guy.

The delta number puts it between Oct and Nov 1964.

Yes I just edited, realised after re reading your post it was west coast multi coloured.

The "x" indicates the b side for those that are unaware.

White demo and yellow issue west coast monarch press. Also multicoloured West Coast. The multi coloured demo and issue is east coast.

Just been told the sad sad news that Tony Evans has passed away. Tony is/was a regular on the soul scene and those that knew him will know him to be a top lad, always up for a laugh and p*ss take of something or someone. My thoughts and sympathies with his family and friends, he will be missed. R.I.P. Tony.

That's great I'd like to hear the whole record, can't wait till I do but unfortunately I won't get to hear Steve tomorrow. Will there be a listen again? Who was responsible for unearthing this? Ace/Kent or did you get it via other means Sean? Well done to whoever it was.

This is Emory & The Dynamics. By the time they became the Four Dynamics they had a new lead singer.

Certainly heard this very late 80's into the 90's and probably someone like Rod??? I have spoke tapes of Rod's, will check if I remember to see if he raves about it on one? Emory & The Dynamics had also been around since at least the mid 80's, Guy Hennigan cover up (Marvin & The Main Men).

I have face time à nd skype so I'd be up for either as a seller or buyer.

Ernie Freeman spent much of his life in Los Angeles and worked with Rene Hall so I'd say it was an LA recording.

Nu People did the vocal version according to MT.... https://soulfuldetroit.com/archives/1/557.html?1019399514

I found a topic on there were he says there was/is a vocal version, doesn't mention male or female and that he will ask Mike Theodore when he sees him. There is another topic with both answering conversations but no mention of this track yet.

I assumed it was.

Pat Brady at Stafford, he may have played it elsewhere prior, Clifton Hall etc?

It is on pretty regularly Kev on one channel or t'other on the sky network.

Was posted on here about 6 months ago. Still interesting to see again.

It was extremely in demand at one time and it went from a pretty low value of less than a ton to well over 3/400 and more in some cases. I'd agree with the above of 2/250.

The first pressed at RCA pressing plant, they give it a matrix number using there own numbering system. The second pressed elsewhere.

It is from those behind Trainspotting and in a similar vein viewing wise. I enjoyed it.
