Where is the archived material? We are constantly bombarded with some ageing rock group on their final tour, since their last final tour retiring just in time for their next final tour! Why can't we have a purpose made GOOD documentary/programme DVD containing any remaining footage/sounds like this? Not a Tongue in cheek attempt by someone who doesn't understand or really care what it was all about. I know that our scene has always been an underground scene, so often misunderstood. I have always felt let down by the media over the years. The missed opportunities throughout the years to capture these magic moments on film, doesn't bear thinking about. Surely it wouldn't do todays scene any harm if we had a GOOD informative look at our wonderful past. After all is this not where the roots of today's music lies?

So pleased that someone decided to record stuff like this, Totally Awsome!

Sandi Sheldon - You're Gonna Make Me Love You The Vonettes - Touch My Heart Van McCoy Nuff Said

Or this one Baby Washington - Ive Got To Break Away Brilliant

How about this one The Temptations Don't Look Back

Willie Hutch "Love Runs Out" / "The Duck".

Reminded me of how fortunate I am to have experienced such an important time. (Unfortunately misunderstood by the media) You're right Karen - "old foggies" at the time were only too quick to find fault - If only they really knew what it was about

Tainted Love I wish I had a Time Machine. The first time that I actually heard it, Danced to it, The Atmosphere, The Handclaps. Records like Tainted Love thoroughly deserve their place. "SPINE TINGLING" you're right Pete Listening to the ENERGY! - I sat back to listen to it & nearly spun out of the computer chair. Magic Thanks everyone.

WOW that was quick, The Atmosphere you're right, just as I remember - "Brilliant Times". It was nice to hear it again after all these years, just as I remembered it. Thanks, the atmosphere, hand claps, Magic. Footsie, part of Northern Soul history and it will no doubt stay there but I enjoyed listening to it on this occasion - Wonderful stuff. I know that the track isn't in vogue now but at the time when Instrumentals were played quite often, I'm suprised that this version was never booted on vinyl, or did PYE beat them to it on this occasion.

Does anyone remember the first version of this instrumental. Not the Roulette Original, but the version that someone spliced together from various sources, intro etc. It was obviously the Roulette version but with a different intro etc, PYE tried to copy a few months later but it was different. I remember hearing it at the time, obviously it was on an acetate, also heard at venues. It was then released by PYE with their version/changes and released with Chuck Wood on the other side. Anyone?

Miff You have set yourself quite a task with some of these The following 5 are some of the hardest to find - Or even to get someone to part with. GW 23 Carl Carlton Nothin' No Sweeter Than Love I Love True Love Jul 1965 GW 25 Adorables Ooh Boy! Devil In His Eyes Jul 1965 GW 27 Barbara Mercer The Things We Do Together Hungry For Love (Instrumental) Sep 1965 Issues for the next 2 are almost impossible. Although DEMOS are easier by comparison they're still tough. GW 40 Tamiko Jones I'm Spellbound Am I Glad Now Jul-66 GW 41 Tony Michaels Picture Me & YouI Love The Life I Live (And Live The Life I Love) Aug-66 Roger

Hi As Both these titles came out as separate issues on Brunswick originally, I would say Re-Issue. Having said that, I don't know how many copies of the Re-issue are about. I suspect that it MAY be easier to find an original than a Re-Issue in this format?. Value?

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Dave I am currently reading through some of the stuff posted quite a while ago and noticed this. I thought better late than never; I bought my Junior 1010 White Demo from Soul Bowl in the 1970's - The Sensations featuring Yvonne Baker. It has 'Mend The Broken Pieces' as title on the B Side. My stock copies of Junior 1010 & Junior 1071 both have "Mend the torn pieces"

Simon Thanks for confirming existance of white DEMO - My Cu ma le be-stay/Everythings Wrong - Chubby Checker is a white DEMO same design. I believe that this is the West Coast Label - My Parkway P-123 DEMO also West Coast (I Think) but coloured Label. (Different pressing plants used, as is the case with most U.S.A. records). It leads me to wonder if anyone has a White DEMO/Coloured DEMO of the East Coast Design for Parkway P-123 as most stock copies that I have seen appear to be the East Coast Design. I recently bid for a copy of Looking At Tomorrow - Chubby Checker which was the West Coast design White Label DEMO. I failed on that occasion, found another copy for sale a couple of months later which I bought, when it arrived it was the East Coast Design White Label Demo. Not a problem as I had been after a copy of this record for years. Roger

Andy A sound investment in my opinion. Always remember, with Capitol Records to look for the "Daisy Stamp" faintly stamped in the Deadwax or the Capitol Triangle with numbers in. Roger

Pete I have had a look at my DEMO of Girl Don't Make Me Wait but it is on is on vinyl so delving further I have found a couple of Monarch Parkways which may help. I have these two STYRENE COPIES - Both are Monarch Delta # PARKWAY P-949-B - "(Do The) DISCOTHEQUE" CHUBBY CHECKER - Delta 56427X PARKWAY P-153 -A - LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL - BUNNY SIGLER - Delta 66730 - This copy also has FRANKFORD/WAYNE Matrix I would say that your Delta Number Looks Good & Spot On as the Delta Numbers Sequence Goes. It certainly looks good to me. I hope this helps. Roger

Pete I have the DEMO (DJ Copy) which is exactally the same design as your Label scan. I have recently seen another for sale on ebay with this Label design which was also a DEMO (DJ Copy) I don't know if a White DEMO exists, either design. I can't recall seeing a Stock copy with this design, my Stock copy is the other design of which I have seen quite a few for sale. Roger

Andy This is in my opinion extremely rare. Genuine stock copies are also rare. Don't forget that the stock copy was counterfeited in the seventies on Authentic Capitol Blank Labels. (The runout tells all, "daisy stamp" on original copies) I bought the DEMO in the 1970's, I haven't seen many for sale since DEMO or Stock. . I haven't got the Genuine stock copy only the counterfeit. JM's Price guide has the Genuine stock copy at £125, the DEMO at £150. Roger
