  1. You'll know it's styrene well before getting anywhere near 90 degrees ...
  2. That "Google" thingy's a clever tool you know ... https://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Sound-Of-Funk-Three/release/1310138
  3. I'll happily stick with the 100 Club anniv. 45 ... £6600+ for a 45 in that condition , I should co-co ... !
  4. Loads listed on PS and the vast majority are promos .
  5. Your link was not working ... here's your video ...
  6. See you at Euston , looking forward to it ...
  7. He'll never learn to do it for himself if you keep holding his hand like a three year old ...
  8. Why not just google it , would save me digging it out , scanning it , uploading it , etc , etc , etc ... a microsecond search on Discogs ...
  9. Seen plenty of lads in the 'old days' necking their gear before going into my favourite basement nighter and then hitting the bar hard for the short time it was still serving beer ... and then complaining bitterly after the rapid intake of 4 or five pints that their gear was rubbish ... they never did learn bless them ...
  10. Been biting my tongue too long ... Peggy March is as bad a pop tune today as it was when I first heard it 37 years ago , thought it was shite then and think it's shite now ... sorry if that offends the old-timers but it's just my opinion ... glad I started my journey "on the scene" just as the backlash against this purile lazy pop drivel started and the 'new guard' started digging a bit deeper for the real thing ...
  11. ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263647837596
  12. The label obviously knew about it ...
  13. Or the new stampers used for the 'reissue' were also done by Artisan which would be logical. What we need are nice clean images of the deadwax details of the Trans-American and Trans pressings to see if they were both from the same plates or two different masters. No doubt they were from the original master-tape but whether labels kept all the old stampers in an archive is another question , as they are pretty delicate and wear out quite quickly I'd guess that they were binned after use and new ones cut as required ... especially some 8 years later as with this 45 ... ?
  14. Michel is his given name I think . The "Trans" pressings from '75 also have the Artisan stamp , leastways mine has it leading to me believing it to be a legit 45 , but have been told umpteen times by umpteen 'experts' over the 30-odd years I've had it that it's a boot pressed up for the scene by the label owner at the request of the light-fingered one ... so it's a bit of a grey area still in my mind ...
  15. Guess I need to learn to type with more than one finger ...
  16. It is not a snare drum and sticks it just looks that way , ( it's just the "A" of Artisan and a record ) , and it is NOT the mark of the pressing plant , it is the mark of the mastering company Artisan ( as stated earlier by Karl ) and the stamp is their company logo ... The "Trans" copies are boots/unofficial pressings.
  17. 100 count box not 1000 ... Shades of Soul Issue #8 Aug 1986.pdf
  18. Nighters , soul nights , weekenders , all-dayers , live events etc , etc .
  19. Lou Pride - "As long as we're together" was the c/u name/title Alan gave Grey Imprint.
  20. Sorry to rain on your parade but that poster is advertising a gig in Aylesbury , Bucks ... i.e. down South , by a band from Oldham ... i.e Oop North , a band who predominantly perfomed cover versions of soul tunes , only natural for them to be billed as a "Northern Soul and Action Group". Had the typesetter not given the word 'northern' a capital letter it would be be easier read as intended , in other words "a top Soul and Action Group from the north" ...
  21. It's a 'James' someone if that's any help ... ?
  22. That's got to be the most beautifully crafted post I've had the good fortune to read here on Soul Source , thank you Tim ...
