"Anyone who knows what rare Northern Soul is will understand"

I "rescued" the licensing notice from above "Mr M's" entrance prior to one of the Wigan Tiffs nighters

Bobby Williams I've only got myself to blame Italian derbi records picture cover

For me the 80's were the best era, I actually felt proud of this superb underground movement now?.....not sure.

A true gentleman and top performer, He tells some amazing stories in his excellent and highly recommended book. Many happy returns Tommy Hunt

Tim, Great news! all the fascinating, indepth & factual research you have carried out over the years needs to be committed to print and I can totally recommend issue 1, Also Tim it may be worth looking into a e-reader version I am sure someone like Chalky can point you in the "Right Direction" Put me down for a copy of issue 2 Good luck with this venture Paul

Thought I should add although I have a machine it's years away from working! and is not used for bootlegging in any shape or form hope that's clear!

There is another option to the ones previously listed and that is a vintage machine converted to cut 45 rpm names like Presto, Rekokut & Fairchild all made in the USA and one that was made a few miles from Mr Smith BSR (the company that made some terrible turntables in the 70's & 80's)the problem is these companies stopped making them approx 50 years ago so if you locate one unless you are very lucky it won't be cheap and then the work starts getting them to work to a reasonable sound quality I kid you not its not easy you will need access to someone with a machine shop and someone who is a whizz with electronics then someone who understands the technicalities of cutting records. cutting stylus and blanks especially acetates are expensive there is basically one company left who manufactures them Apollo masters in NY so they have the market cornered.

Forget the Vestax machine they no longer sell or provide service to owners of this machine in any case the sound quality was poor when compared to the price it was originally listed at. The Vinyl Recorder as used by Vinylcarvers is manufactured by a strange chap in Germany he is the only source of spares, service and blanks for his machine and he will only deal with people who buy a new machine from him directly this renders a used machine worthless! the best off the shelf new machine is the vinynallium Kingston dub plate (switzerland)machine this will cut vinyl, acetates and to a very good quality And the equipment Chris King uses is none of the above its a high end professional set up. But just buying any of the above is just the tip of a very difficult, expensive and time consuming hobby/ business To get anything near good results you will need to invest many many hours of practice

On a serious note "Doris" totally agree with your post - makes me laugh when people jump up and down regarding boots when in the past they have shall we say sailed close to the wind themselves! This by the way is NOT directed at anyone posting on this topic.

Only 2 Boots Rod? You got rid of "the Stilettos"? Triode ; -)

Kind of recall a Bobby Womack promo being given away at one of Richard & Deans "Parkers" sessions (recorded in Rochdale?) Think that was a 10" but like I recently said to the wife "what's 2 inches at the end of the day". Triode

James Marsh "searching" was played as far back as early nineties at Westhoughton Cricket Club and the original Orwell Rare Soul nights I did with Richard Searling, mine came with a number of unknown items from Tim Ashibende this was around the time of the superb Groovesville acetates find that Tim had. I had it covered has Thomas Tate for a while. Triode

Ray Richards and Rufus Lumley are one and the same person. I read he used Ray Richards for his acting career and Rufus Lumley for his recordings I think Ray Richards was his real name.
