Beautiful track. I'll take any spares that might come up after Chalky's sorted. JM born same day and month as me but 11 years earlier. Don't know why I mentioned that. I guess we all like to know soulful links to our birth dates, etc?

Which scene? New Breed R&B? Nah. Northern? Nah. Funk? Then yes, not bad, quite James Brownish.

Yeah, watched it myself, thought it was brilliant. Watched Jools as well for an hour with some crackin' artists, including Taj Mahal, and some guy called Seasick Steve I think? Bloody brilliant 3 string guitar work.

Other than it was released in 1964 and books at about £25 in MINT condition. No. Anybody got a sound file of this one? And a nice scan? Cheers me dears.

Well, that was fantastic. Thanks for posting.

Was wondering how and why you managed to get bookings arranged for this one. Didn't realise myself that this one was going to be a Roger Eagle tribute night. Must pick up more flyers in future. After our chat the other night, I wasn't expecting you back up until about July.

Not entirely sure about that. Many DJs turn over their 'collections' in order to afford their latest 'finds' / 'discoveries'. You can't blame them for that 'cos it's too expensive otherwise to keep everything they've ever bought plus pay the price for those new discoveries. Now, 'collectors' tend to hoard records, never selling anything unless they find a better condition copy or a spare. They too go to great lengths to discover newies for their scene but only get the occasional chance to air them whenever they are asked to Guest DJ. Now there's another breed. These are the guys that can introduce some interesting stuff, given the chance.

Hope you have better luck than me getting a reply via PM.

That'll be UK Brunswick not UK Decca.

Thanks. I wasn't doubting it was released as a 45 but am asking the question, was it ever pressed / booted? And if so, can somebody with first hand knowledge confirm or deny this, then if possible, try to get a scan of the pressing, if it exists. And better still, show a pressing / boot next to a scan of the original for direct comparison. Did that make sense? Can anybody help?

You just fill in the blank with your email address, right? Hope so 'cos that's what I've done.

Nice one Kav!!!

Thank you SO much for sharing that with us, I really mean that. Brilliant!!!

I listened to the start for about 15 to 20 seconds and got bored but there did seem to be a slight difference then I started thinking perhaps I'm imagining it so that's when I decided to post the question on here. Hopefully, somebody else with a more discerning ear, can confirm or deny the rumours? Anyhow, howzit hangin' Kev?

Anybody?

Can nobody help?

If somebody was able to show scans of the original and pressing (if it was ever pressed) side by side, that would be brilliant. Was asked this question last night at the Hideaway and even Damien couldn't be sure he'd ever seen one, a pressing that is.

Not a bad observation . . . for a City fan.

Has anybody noticed a difference between the two recordings between the Issue and the Demo?

You're up late. Then, I guess, so am I. Nicely put but it doesn't change my opinion. Like you said, a popular dancefloor record but in the cold light of day . . . . nah, not good enough. Good night my friend.

I guess you and I just like different kinds of Northern Soul. Nowt wrong with a bit of raw edge but for me, this one's beyond that . . . sorry.

Okay. Thanks Joe.

Going price?

C'mon, rarety and value have a lot to do with one's perception of a good or not so good record. Knowing a record is worth a bundle somehow makes the record sound that little bit better, no matter how bad it REALLY is. I don't care what you say, it's true. As for my cloth ears? Well, I think after over 40 years of collecting, amongst other things, Northern Soul records, I think I can discount that problem . . . IMO of course!!!

You getting rid then Joe?
