  1. Yep, looked at his website but there doesn`t seem to be the facility to email him.
  2. Hi, I`m a big fan of Richard Searling and have searched the net to see if he`s ever written a book about the Northern Soul scene. Anyone know? Thanks and regards,
  3. Whoops, spot the typo! Sorry, they don`t usually let me have a pc in the Northern Soul Twilight Home For The Bewildered...
  4. Hi, Help - I`ve just restarted collecting in the age of the internet, and I`m totally out of touch with what records are realistically worth these days. I`m using ebay for some buys and Soul Source of course, but need to know a certain record`s rough worth to start with. Someone put me onto popsike as a useful website and I look at John Manship but apart from those I don`t know where else to look. Any info gratefully received. Thanks and regards, Pete
  5. 1977 - Wigan Casino - Very first Allnighter - Opened the door to be hit with a wall of sound that was Eddie Holman "Where I`m Not Wanted". I will never ever forget that feeling of pure joy and amazement...
  6. So what do demos go for please?? Thanks
  7. OK Thanks for the info - looks like a saving up job to get a demo - what do they go for these days please?
  8. Yes, I seem to remember Russ playing it...
  9. Hi, Being a man of very modest means, an original Dee Dee Barnes `Do What You Wanna Do` is WAY out of my price range so can anyone tell me if it was reissued please? Thanks and regards,
  10. What ??!!!
  11. Hi, I`m fairly new to the forum so apologies if this has been done before (and I expect it has), but I wondered what folks` favourite `Ender` might be? For me it`s Esther Phillips - Just Say Goodbye KTF
  12. Thanks all for your advice and input. Looks like the next 25 years of my life is mapped out...!
  13. Can`t get this to play?
  14. Wow - been on ebay for a few hours and see what you mean! I think saving harder and buying £15 - £20 originals is the way to go then. I`m still intrigued by what monster cover-ups I`ve missed though? Thanks and regards,
  15. Thanks for the info and advice guys - much appreciated. Are there any monster tunes I really should look out for, or are there too many to mention - if so I guess the Northern scene is in relatively good shape? Thanks again.
  16. Hi All, I went to my last Allnighter (Wigan) in 1981 and stupidly sold my record collection. I`m now getting back into Northern Soul, buying what records I can afford and just wondered what 60s stormers I`ve missed in the past 32 years (or is it a mega list)? Also I`d be interested to know if they`ve been reissued (if that still happens) - I know original vinyl rules but believe me my finances are such that I`m restricted to 70s boots or some original say £10ish sounds. Thanks in advance and please be gentle with me!
  17. Bit off genre but Desmond Dekker - Me Ears Are Alight ??
  18. Sorry, should have stated RCA White Demo please!
  19. Wanted - Beverly Ann `He`s Coming Home` Please PM me with price, condition and postage Thanks and regards Pete
  20. Ah, thanks for the info
  21. Hi, I`m new to collecting so bear with me. Is there any difference in value etc. between Sateside labels with the punch out centre and those with a smooth centre please? Thanks and regards, Pete
  22. Jeeeeeeezzzz!!! As the OP putting down my first post I`m amazed the debate has taken the twists & turns that it has! My take on things: 1/ It seems as if the scene is in reasonable shape. 2/ I can`t wait to attend my first event for 30 years, make new friends, hear or rehear great old and new sounds, get that feeling of belonging etc. 3/ I`m going to carry on collecting originals that I can afford 4/ There are some brilliant and knowledgeable members on this website 5/ Happy New Year to everyone and hope 2013 brings all that you`re looking for Best wishes, Pete
  23. I`ve now secured a copy - thanks.
  24. I`ve now secured a copy - thanks
  25. US bookshop was sold out so I`m still after a copy in at least reasonable condition please. Best wishes to all for 2013
