Dissertation help! Looking for interviewees
Dave only really differentiated Northern Soul ('The Soul of The North' B & S column) i.e. people's different taste for Soul in the North of England from Soul due to geography. I don't believe it was anything to do with the then scene, established or not. He rarely used (if ever as far as i know) the term Northern Soul to describe anything other than a 45 that would appeal to Soul fans in the North.

Bank Transfers for vinyl-genuine question
Apart from the obvious general answers...why do some sellers (UK to UK) ask for B/transfer on records under £300. It’s a genuine question, not a moan.

Nobheads at events.
Some behaviours are taught. Others are only attained through historical tribal knowledge. Most “nob heads” at NS events don’t have that tribal knowledge so don’t know how to behave. You can extend this theory to many situations. E.g if you’ve ever worked In a mid- large scale organisation “the newbies” (even those that might have been there a decade) may still not exhibit “the correct behaviours”- lack of tribal knowledge. Incidentally, once you have it, you can leave and return for extended periods and still know how to ‘behave’.

Delegates of soul
I'll just have to continue to make do with the 2016 CD The UPLOOK Records Story.

Delegates of soul
I rarely, if ever comment on prices ( i don't know enough about them), but suffice to say i wish i could afford what will be the eventual winning bid (+£1000). I've had a interest in the UpLook records for many a year, and a story on Gene Lawson which at some point i'll post.

Cody Black interview
Couldn't agree more Ed. These are fab Graham. Hearing Melvin's voice (on interview) sent shivers down my spine.

Soul Junction New 45 - Willie Williams Give It All I Got - Do You Understand SJ545
Willie is a fav of mine...so i hope this SJ release does well. Forgive me...i won't kidnap the post entirely but thought readers may find this interesting. Chicago Aug/Sept 1966. The Del-Vettes/Del-Vetts were with 11 musicians (Nate Thomas on piano) at 445 N. Lake Shore recording studio (which at that time was RCA Victor) adding background vocals on some Willie Williams 5 hours and 4 songs recording session, two sides of which became ABC 45-10598 intended a-side “Just Because/It Doesn't Pay”. I don’t think ABC 45-10860 “Have You Ever Been Played For A Fool?/With All Of My Soul” was the other 2 sides since this was recorded at an earlier session. Instead, could it be ABC 11031 (1967/8) I’m Through With You/ Strung Out. Or maybe it was the sides put out on RCA Victor 47-9736 “Just To Be Loved By You/Name It” released at a later date (1969). Producer/arranger Johnny Pate quite often leased sides to other major labels. The Del-Vettes harmonies can most clearly be heard on “It Doesn’t Pay” starting at about 1 minute in and then through to the end on all the ‘It Doesn’t Pay’ lyrics. Willie Williams 1968.

Lorraine Rudolph RIP
Very sad news.... I have always been of the same mind as Barry Martin's remarks on the vocal similarities of her voice with that of Lorraine Randolph -see sirshambling-http://www.sirshambling.com/artists_2012/R/lorraine_rudolph/index.php The other reasons of my own is i have seen her 'named' both ways on several occasions as far back as 1967. Particularly as featured with The Bob Craig Trio. Lorraine Rudolph grew up in the Russell neighbourhood of Louisville, Ky, and having spent 25 years in Detroit, in her later years she lived in Temple Springs, Md. Two PICTURES- both performing with the Bob Criag Trio at The Hurricane Lounge in 1967. RUDOLPH 1st pic Dec 1967/RANDOLPH 2nd pic Aug 1967. Either way....i love both, if it is indeed two different ladies.

I don't know what Northern soul is.
Reissue & Mal....given the title of the thread i don't think either of these three posts show much NS 'brotherly'.

Stemmons Express
They are not the same person (Just in case you still think they maybe). Gerald was about 6 years older than Sam. He was an accounting Major (school) & attorney. Sam was more into journalism. That's why you see Gerald's name on 'official documents'. It's an interesting story and one i'll write up one day.
