There were Funk clubs in all major cities during those times, doesn't make Liverpool any more a "funk influenced" city than any others, it was generally a sign of the times.

Yes, that included myself and Frank Jackson. There were a few others that I can't remember? Brian Flynn? was another. Mainly consisted of collectors, each taking a small box and DJing on an ad-hoc basis throughout the night.

Sorry Barry, but here's the topic heading, "Soul in Liverpool?"

Absolutely yes, I can, just not Northern, which is what you're really on about.

Ey up 'Frank' Terry was an old pal of mine back in the early 70s, for a short while anyway. He played whatever he had to to pay his mortgage but he was a good Soul fan through and through. I won't argue that there weren't ANY clubs in Liverpool playing Funk, of one variety or another, just not any of those I frequented. Anyhow, I was by no means the only Scouser into Northern back then. There were quite a few before and after me, just not as 'memorable' as me. Getting back to the original point, the suggestion was that there was no Soul scene in Liverpool, which judging by this discussion, has now been blown out of the water?

I would, if it wasn't for your comment "Was always a more funk influenced town", which it wasn't. At least not at any of the venues I frequented, and there were many. But like I said, I don't want to get into any arguments and if the use of the word twoddle upset you, then I apologise. It's just that I'm fed up to the back teeth of people (not you) slagging off Liverpool, and its past Soul scene, when most of them don't know what the hell they're talking about.

I did know many black and some Chinese Soul fans from Liverpool. I'm now 62 and grew up in Liverpool when Soul music played was wide and varied, and not greatly influenced by Funk. Having said that, I guess it depends on which era you're talking about. That said, many cities around the UK were influenced by Funk, like London and Manchester, It all depended on which clubs you visited, and when.

This subject has been well covered before. So, at the risk of repeating myself, there has always been Soul music played in Liverpool, more than anybody who didn't grow up in Liverpool will ever know, just not much Northern Soul, which is what we're REALLY talking about here, right? As for it being a city influenced mainly by Funk, I've never heard so much twoddle. I'm saying no more, because I don't want to get into any pointless arguments, I'll leave it up to others to rightly correct any misinformed rubbish that might be portrayed in later postings. The Sink Soul Club was one of many clubs in Liverpool playing Soul music. But it was one of the earliest and one of the best, chronologically running in parallel with the likes of the Twisted Wheel, etc.

Good riposte.

I've still got all three, all issues.

I've still got both! Always wondered which was the rarer, which is why I probably kept both.

Even a Billy Harner instrumental?

Yeah, I've got a few of them but please don't ask me which ones. Also seem to remember having some Coral one side Decca the other? Or Brunswick one side, Coral the other?

YES.

I was just about to say the exact thing.

Who produced these counterfeits?

My understanding to date is that it meant the record had been deleted and couldn't be purchased any longer as a new release, only from second hand record stores. In that sense, providing the drilled hole isn't drilled in an inconvenient place, then I'd say it doesn't detract from the records value. Obviously, a minter,with no drilled holes,would no doubt be worth more.

How much did it sell for Pete?

.

Canadian? Or is that black?

Didn't you say, if there's money in your PayPal account, then payment as Gifts is free. But if the PayPal account is empty, then payment has to come from your debit or credit card, for which you now have to pay a fee. Therefore, it would be a good idea if you could periodically keep your PayPal account topped up with monies from the card or Bank.
