  1. just trying to add to MGM1251 questions and Chalky's answers. So...Forgive me if i'm behind the thread somewhat or the bit below is meaningless to the debate. I have a scribbled note (and given time will find the source of the note to give due credit) that; Matrix of Nashville (the company) made amongst other things, stampers for local pressing plants. And Nashville Matrix (in Italics) was the wording in their metal stamper. So it’s likely Nashville Record Productions Inc (Mastering) used those/that stamper(s). And we know Motown used NRP, as did Paula, etc. I could be stating 'the bleedin' obvious' to many on here. Equally, I hope it hasn't unwittingly sent you down another rat hole, or
  2. never received documented credits or royalties from Motown for “Roadrunner” release. Tap to view this Soul Source News/Article in full
  3. Billy Nicks Passed recently Nicks and “The Rhythm Rockers” came into their own on the summer of 1954 (still existing and lead by Nicks). The original Rhythm Rockers line up consisted of: Billy “Stix” Nicks (drums, vocals, band leader), Junior Walker (saxophone) and Fred Patton (piano, vocals). Billy “Stix” Nicks played and recorded on Motown with “Jr. Walker and The All Stars” for the 1965 LP release, “Roadrunner”, on songs: “How Sweet Is To Be Loved By You”, “Pucker Up Buttercup” and title track “Roadrunner”. Unfortunately, due to record company and production issues Nicks never received documented credits or royalties for the Motown “Roadrunner” release.
  4. i've danced to NS for 45 years ( last night the latest at The Ukrainian Club, ashton u lyne. I've also ballroom and latin danced for nearly 20 yrs. I never mix the two up- and neither should the BBC.
  5. nah..it's not them. just listened again.( they did do it though)
  6. the osmonds ( yup them) covered it? could be??
  7. it doesn't sound like Billy Joe Royal /Yo-Yo (Columbia). but it's the words and music. maybe it's just the repro on the vid?
  8. Chuck’s is like drinking honey with a touch of brandy. Golden and powerful. The Moments is like drinking chocolate. Smooth and rich. Spooky & Sue’s is like drinking champagne with a splash of vodka. Refreshing and tingling. today...Spooky & Sue get my vote.
  9. definately double points. i wonder if there are any others A+A.? uummm.
  10. unless it's already been done to death on a thread before... Female artists (singular) or Female (girl groups). Starting with "A"- your favourite-if you had to choose just one - how many could we list? for the list...Artist and one track. atb ken someone else can can take up the batton and move us to the "B's" when the "A's", etc, dwindle and fade!
  11. not seen Derek Banner mentioned? he replied to this thread in 2016. Derek Banner-Mansfield -Dj-Swan Hotel? By SHEFFSOUL, June 16, 2008 In All About the SOUL
  12. If it helps you...there is one on JM's auction site (ending wednesday 15th) sat at £156.
  13. You would need to know your audience and scene for this one...but given the right venue, etc, etc....
  14. i can't add anything to the provenance already described...but recently i have seen these turn up for sale on an ebay auction starting at £36 and on a reputable seller site for £50. Really? (PAULA 381 -mis-credited track).

  18. sometimes "i don't answer the exam question" - forgive me if this is the case i this instance...but What, No 45's?: A Selection of Northern Soul Only Out on LP, a collection of two-dozen performances lost in the grooves before Northern DJs brought them to light. Not collectable, but a dozen in one place.
  19. that is a good question Benji. and i don't now know. You are correct. I do think it was about $5,000 in Sept 2017 [£3,800], ( although it did go up and down like a yo-yo in Sept 2017). I can only think that my math got in the way and i multiplied it or something. Either way... you get my drift. 1 BC =[$1] Feb 2011 – April 2011, could have been worth $6.180[£4,707) on 21st Oct 2017.
  20. just as a postcript... Gwen Owens -Just Say You're Wanted ( And Needed ) / Still True To You John Manship (sold) 2007 2017 Diff Assume similar condition £3,516 £4,250 +£734 Savings account invest £3,516 - Savings account withdraw - £4,589 +£1,073 Standard & not adjusting for inflation From 2007 to 2017 the average savings interest rate (crudely) would be 2.07%. It started 2007 at 5.5% and by 2016 was 1.23% I'd sooner have had the record for 10yrs OR i could have saved for 10yrs and bought it last week on JM, and still had change. By comparison though; 1 Bit Coin 2009 2017 (Sept) £20 £746,000 (yup...£746K)
  21. I was in a conversation when JB and The Hightlighters Band cropped up, and i mentioned i'd once heard TLOMG played before at least 1972/74. But was poo-pooed. So i was probably wrong, or maybe it was a one-off? (it being the flip) So i wondered...at which venue was "The Love of My Girl" played most and when? Or doesn't it get out much? maybe someone at Prestatyn 2004 weekender may know- i understand JB was on the bill. cheers
  22. that's a nice moment for those folks...
  23. i do the similar thing as bbrich. i use (un tech i know) access db with A&R, lable, pics, writers, etc. One day i'll migrate it to SQL or some such thing and maybe 'webize it'. Anyhow, should i ever decide to sell, i'd most likely give the db away with the sale of my records.
