Slightly off topic , The Chateau Impney is currently closed & in a sorry state , but plans are afoot for demolishing all of the ugly extensions that have been built over the years , restoring it to it's original beauty & functional rooms , & the building of over 100 new homes on the surrounding grounds , not before time . -

Not a clue , but if I bump into him in Mr Tees , Kidderminster I'll ask him . When he stood in on 6 Music DJing ( not sure who for , may have been Craig Charles vacation) his 1st choice was , Vernon Garrett , Shine It On , probably on Stateside demo , which he told us it was probably his all time fave Soul / RnB tune . I know he has a collection of , at last count 1 million albums & 45s combined ( still growing ) & is a big fan & collector of the Ace/ Kent output , so he's never turned his back on his Soul / RnB roots , just choose to go down a different path experimenting with different musical influences & still is .

It was 2002 , she came I'm told directly from the Paris Jazz festival & had obviously brought that performance not a Northern Soul set , very sad to witness as the audience wasn't expecting what they heard and soon let her know , very upsetting actually.

What about the instrumental version , if your taste is more instrument. If the link is not working above , at least you can search for it on YouTube.

Dusty Springfield , Dutch release You Don't Have To Say You Love Me , are the titles of the other 2 albums.

My black vinyl copy is fine , haven't played my coloured vinyl copy but was a little surprised that it wasn't released in a picture sleeve , did ask Niall at Daptone UK if it was a possibility sadly no , so I made my own , using card & a sticker like an album sleeve , so should offer some protection , for years to come .

Hi Simon , Have pmd , Dave

That looks like a work of art Karl , like one of those posters from Athena back in the 80s
-
I've not seen it anywhere to be honest, if on Facebook don't use it , & signed up for future releases / updates etc ages ago , still no word . Perhaps last night's emails where a publicity stunt , it's worked because we're now discussing it , & as the old saying goes etc ,etc

I have emailed them twice over the past year regarding any new material being issued , & there was a request by another SS member a few months back , for any info on what was happening at North Broad Street, as he was waiting for the last 45 . I didn't recieve a reply . It just seems very strange that multiple numbers of last year's M&J release emails are posted almost a year later . If you look on their site , it's now showing their latest release, Jimmy Ruffin , I Can't Stop Loving You b/w Cynthia Girty ,Prove it to me . Nothing has been advertised to my knowledge, & I have emailed them for clarification , as yet no reply .
-
Very strange I have just received 2 emails from North Broad Street , 1st one " A note has been added to your order " to tell me the order has been dispatched ( 20/9/24 ) & a 2nd to say " We have finished processing your order again dated 20/9/24 . Plus tracking etc all the details saying "Your order was delivered 24/9/24 . It was the Marshall & Jones , Sometimes Maybe . I've already had these notes etc in September 24 , I believe it was their last release , very strange

Absolutely wonderful release Barbara Long so bloody soulful & The Cautions give it a few spins , a grower , just saved myself £2K .

Hi Mark , Are there no plans to collate these contracts into a reference book , or are they one offs once sold that's it , the buyer owns a collectors item ?

Just been reading via Google, PayPal has been hacked , but they're denying it for now

Brilliant Rob , The Detroit Soul Detective

I have a spare copy of Betty Fikes , I Can't Lie To My Heart , Southbound 2nd . The Prove It To Me , side has a scratch both feelable & audible for about the 1st minute . No issues with the Lie To My Heart side . If anybody wants it they're welcome , just pay for the P&P. Just PM me , ( Now Gone , thanks for looking ) Dave

I also got mine from Fish pre- ordered , 2nd copy from Juno for a mate & a coloured vinyl copy from Daptone UK for the hell of it , just wish they'd released it with a picture sleeve with some info on it.
-
Hi Karl Juno £9.65 Inc vat , but Daptone UK like you say only £6. With choice of black or coloured vinyl , it's more than likely the same as the US price .
-
Thanks for the update, we have been talking about this release in the New Release topic since mid July , when other suppliers apparently via a leak in info , where taking pre - orders , seems strange that Daptone UK where only selling or promoting from today ? Mine arrived from Juno on Tuesday, & from what info I'm able to collect others may have had their copies earlier. As you say , totally agree possibly a future Northern Fave , depending on how many copies are available etc etc .
