the only difference is the intro as far as I'm aware, other than that and the group name they are the same.
-
Cheers Phil, I'll let you know and thanks Simon for the Naturals.
-
Naturals - Don't Just Stand There - Path 7 Sons - Don't You Dare Say No(?) Many thanks Chalky
-
now it's getting a bit of attention wonder how many more will surface.....
-
seeing as Davetay said he is ten years older I can only assume the dates were wrong and have since been amended

You'd have to go to a nighter to hear it, Lifeline where it was first played by Nick Stevenson nearly 6 years ago who had the first "known" copy over here. Andy Killick the only other I know of to play it. Guess someone else gonna be palying it very soon. I took the first copy to another Lifeline nighter about three years ago to see if anyone interested in it, Sam certainly was, he badly wanted it but couldn't afford it at the time...or wasn't prepared to meet the asking price. Pretty sure I know where the popsike copy is.

looking at the one on ebay it's half light blue and half white taken at an angle with camera not the best way to get a decent photo of a record/label. Always worth posting Pete, and if interested in buying and still not sure after refviewing all the info available better to avoid it and avoid possible disappointment. Know lots of dealers/collectors don't even bother with ebay these days.

It is clearly documented that Motown sales were aimed at a white pop market and not the black R&B market, that is where the big sales were and still are. And just where did I say white people can't appreciate soul? Nowhere and I didn't infer it either.
-
but they weren't always phone boxes were they, often small studios trying to make extra money.
-
you only have to sit and listen to some of the unissued stuff that is now out there, the Motown, the RCA stuff, some of it with full orchestra and whatever supporting the artist. The studio time alone must have cost a few bob let alone the production costs, and what for, to get rejected and shelved, stored in a dusty vault to be found many years later.
-
did anyone make a list of these post Stafford Classics (Russ)?
-
nowt to be sorry about pal, should have made it clearer in original post which one. There could be at least two copies of the Swans, certainly know of and have seen one.
-
it all depends on the pressing plant/studio. Some will press single figure copies, some it may be minimum of 50, 100, 300, 500...whatever. There were stores in the US you could walk into and record a record for a few dollars and come away with a copy of the recording. So for records which are rare we always use the term "known" as that is the figure known about. There are collectors all over the world that have no association with the Northern Soul scene so who knows what is out there in the big wide world.
-
Which Little Johnny Hamilton are you talking about? I'm talking about Keep On Moving. Would be surprised if there's more than a couple in the country let alone York. As for Swans yes it was released and I've seen it.
-
100 is rare in the grand scheme of things. Look at Gene Toones Harry mentioned, it's on ebay once a month yet still considered a rarity. There's plenty more like it. We once did the Rarest Of the Rare topic on Rare Soul Forum and it had to be less than 5 known copies to get in, or some similar figure. Mello Souls Contessa...both June Jackson - Musette Timmy Carr - Workin' Little Johnny Hamilton - Dore Swans - Dore Kell Osborne - Highland
-
Copies of many of what was considered the rarest of the rare have turned up in recent years. They are still very rare mind. There are still records out there that are known for just the single, two or three known copies.

simply hightlight the URL in your browser address bar, should highlight when you click once in it, then right click and select copy. Then simply right click in the posting area and select paste. Here is the link.... https://www.soul-sour...1entry1058664 maybe the old topic should be moved to Sharp end forum?
-
it came out with and without Mike Terry credit as far as I know. There are a couple of past topics about this.
-
yes but it was also demo'ed with the "A" on the other side.
-
Wasn't someone gonna post the sound file to this?
-
there is supposed to be a re-issue/boot of Edward Hamilton that has no Nashville Matrix stamp. The common boot is the black and white one.
-
it was issued twice with the "A" on both sides (not on both sides at the same time though).
-
Lou Johnson a boot as far as I know.
-
How do you know it would never have existed? I dare say there would have be some sort of soul scene without Motown but who is right or wrong I guess we will never know. Other labels were collected just as much if not more, especially for those who preferred it more soulful/gritty. Granted many did get into the scene through Motown but many soon looked elsewhere when they realised it isn't all about Motown, especially since much of it is commercial and as I said aimed at a white pop market.
-
yep should be red "A".
