Been on my wants list for years just picked up a nice white demo at the right price.....bliss....top tune!

--> QUOTE(Geoff B @ Apr 6 2007, 04:40 PM) link What about a record called "Flashback" Heard him play this on the radio once.Would like to know who this is by,think he mentioned Ritchie Adams, but was this a coverup name? Hi Geoff.......It's Derek Martin he played it Friday at Prestwich and I've heard Neil Jones playing it at Bury Town Hall, Great record!

Think you're right there Ted which reminds me of some of his 'stranger' inventions such as 'Lee Moore and the Resourceful Ones' and The Phantom Janitor' !!!! didn't some tracks actually get 'released' as the cover up artist/title? Perhaps I shouldn't go there.................

I have been trying to get Mr Searling to grace the decks and do a Northern spot at Prestwich for a while now, mostly in response to all the people who request Northern on his radio show, anyway he's agreed and he will be playing Northern this Friday at the Longfield Suite, Prestwich. Should be good!.........Looking forward to it already.......................................

You're not wrong there mate!

Still chasing Johnny Dunn myself

Nice one Billy, maybe in the latter days of Wigan and through their obvious business links but let's be honest he must have pulled thousands of records from 'other' sources as every top DJ would do to craet that very 'Hot Box'

I was talking to Richard Searling at Prestwich recently, about a record that I'd heard him play at many moons ago, which had become not only one of my all time favorite records but one of my most elusive 'wants'. I got to thinking how many bloody tunes this guy had played over time, that had become, not only some of my favorite records, but i'll bet many other peoples as well. I guess all you have to do is think about are some of the venus he's been associated with, Va Va's Wigan, Stafford, Morecambe, Rotherham (and that's just the 'Northern' venues) to realise how influential he's been. The record was The Notations on TAD............ Just wondered if there's any other records he's championed over the years, that have remained favorites of fellow Soul Sourcers?

Amazing...an old Wigan Instrumental, forgotten by the masses, 20 quid all day, a few spins undercover at Bury and look at that, Jeez Mad prices not withstanding there are some great underplayed records getting spins at various venues and sounding brilliant IMHO, keep it up guys

It sure was Simon, and we had the conversation about where his copy came from.........

Great Record ....heard this played out at Bury last month

Hi Phil ALL copies of this, even the handful of initial demos were of poor sound quality, apparently due to the fact the recording was taken from a demo tape rather than a master. It's always, IMHO, held this record back from being played out more and giving it the exposure it deserves. You are right about an album. I spoken to someone who may be able to take this further for/with you..... ATB BazM

Jeeeeze....not another mispelling........'maleday'!!!........ gonna change my name to 'Jones' Nice One Phil

Hi I've got one VG+ drop me a PM on what you think on value if your interested Best BazM

Hi, sorry can't scan it for you but pretty rare record on All Platinum, Bob Hinsley used to feature it a few years ago and i've pestered him to sell it to me since then. Books at £400 in the guides Top Class Northern IMHO BazM

Early doors spin at t'Orwell for me and the Plumbmeister ....Tune! Baz M

Spot On! on all levels IMHO.....................Can only speak from my recent experience but for me Lowton and the aformentioned Mr Jones Bury gig, push the musical boundaries a little more than your average soul neet and so are a worthy of a visit for those who like to be in bed at a reasonable time. As a bonus every so often they metamorphasise into an All Nighter for special occasions just to keep everyone happy. The choice is there..... BazM

I've had a pic sleeve 12" for years and never noticed it was a Promo and now you mention it not seen many other copies

Not the hardest by a long shot but not easy to find pprobably reflected by the fact it's $178.00 on e-bay with 4 days to go.....always liked it IN DEMAND ! 12" PRECIOUS "taboo" US

Dave that's why it too me so long to get a copy that bugger Plumb covered up the lable

Orig Funder Cooper very rare imho...........found one in a collection after looking for many years for it BUT i think it's been booted as a look-a-likey copy in the last couple of years (as has quite a few 12's of this type due to demand on the euro boogie scene)
