    Great record is the Magnificent 7. The flip side is a lot slower but really good as well.

    OVO means if I go to a venue, the DJ's have experience, knowledge and have shown some commitment in getting the records together. Otherwise it might be someone who has learned what to play off the internet and bought a lot of repros and reissues to DJ with. They don't have much experience and knowledge and have shown very little commitment. They might know what to play, but they don't know why!

    The point is, that if it was unreleased before the Grapevine legal UK issue there is no other legitimate way to play it, so Grapevine becomes the first release. In the USA by 1970, you would have struggled to give any deleted record away for a £1 but that doesn't make them worthless now.

    Yes these things never change! "If you let me DJ at your venue, I'll give you a DJ spot at mine!" "It's ok, it doesn't matter that you have only been into Northern Soul for 6 weeks"!

    "Destroy That Boy" The Happy Cats. A great record and dancer that was unreleased on an original label. "Rosemary What Happened" Richard Wylie as the Grapevine release is a better unreleased cut, and I think a better cut than the Karen original. This yellow Grapevine series is the true Casino Classics label, as every release was based on records that were being played at the Casino nighters.

    All time Northern Soul classic doublesider. Original issue in great Mint- condition. Looks and plays great. Definite original with the authenticating hard to see raised numbers/ letters under the matt paper label. £350. Includes fully insured postage.

    I noticed the auction description on this great record is mixed up! This is the correct release order. The Gold label release Number 102 is the first issue. The Yellow label is the later release, Number 103. Both releases have different flip sides as well.

    All time Northern Soul classic doublesider that I remember from the mighty Wigan Casino allnighters. Original issue in great Mint- condition. Looks and plays great. Definite original with the hard to see raised numbers/ letters under the label. I have tried to show them on the photos. £350. + £9 fully insured postage.

    That's something like my journey through the different era's of Northern Soul. I call them classics now and don't call them oldies anymore. It's all up to individuel perspective. We used to call records oldies back in the mid seventies because they had been played 5 years earlier at the Twisted Wheel. Yet there are records that are called sixties newies that have been played for 30 years or more!

    Gold label is the first issue, number 102. Yellow label is later release, number 103. Different flip side on each release.

    Just had a ebay second chance offer from a USA dealer I bid and lost an item with. It was the proper Ebay page and looked right, but when I clicked on certain things on the page it would not download them, so I became suspicious! I went onto my ebay account and looked up my bids and offers section. Surprise, surprise no offers were there. So I think it was from a third party trying it on! Beware if you get a second chance offer, check your bids and offers section on your my ebay!

    It's sad to hear about Kev Murphy. Another brick in the Northern Soul foundations gone. Some of those soul nights he put on at Lowton had more atmosphere and better records than a lot of allnighters!

    A big record for Richard Searling in the Wigan Casino allnighters around 77/78. It was a very rare item back then as well.

    Rare white demo original first issue, of this early Wigan Casino allnighter classic Northern Soul tune. Ex+ condition. £125 includes postage.

    I do agree with what you say in your post, but I dare not mention records I like, because there are people who take great delight in telling everyone they are rubbish etc and don't like them.

    I don't know if recently booted on vinyl, but there has always been vinyl as well as styrene originals available for sale in plentiful supply.

    Frank Lyndon "Don't Go Away Baby" - Uptown. A great Northern Soul allnighter record which was played a lot in Mr M's as well as the main hall at the Wigan Casino allnighters. Although at £415, it is the highest price I have ever seen it go for! The great Younghearts and the Van Dykes got more attention at Wigan, but are still about the usual price.

    Square clock design images of the Fuller Brothers demo and issue SC105. Also the release before SC104 and the release after SC106. The colours do differ slightly but they are taken from different sources.
  20. Solidsoul
    Thanks for those pictures, but Craig W who started the topic has a demo copy with the advance release words down the sides. Your issue copy will have different text layout than the demos.
  21. Solidsoul
    As I mentioned earlier, there are two original vinyl demos with the writing credits in different places. The machined stamped copies have the Recorded At Allegro Studios info at the bottom and the other demo design has this info on the right hand A side. I don't know if this second design ( different pressing plant?) is stamped or just has etched in matrix numbers. Can someone confirm this either way ?
  22. Solidsoul
    If it's the demo with Advance Release written down the sides and has the matrix numbers machined stamped in the run out groove, it's a definite original.
  23. Solidsoul
    Are the numbers in the run out grooves scratched in or machine stamped? I think there are three different label design original demos. Two vinyl and one styrene. There is a styrene 1970's reissue as well.
  24. Solidsoul
    The first three pictures are of the definite original first issue and has the exact vinyl profile, colour, fidelity and matrix marks as the demo. The question I'm trying to get answered is, are the murky gold label copies, pictured at the bottom, with the low fidelity originals as well? Or are they early counterfeits, as this was a monster record in it's day. Or are they legitimate company reissues?
  25. Solidsoul
    Here's a Northern Soul classic from the Fuller Brothers. Played at the Torch and early Wigan allnighters and other early 1970's venues. This is a picture of a square clock true original, that is exactly the same as the demo, only without the promo text. This plays loud and great fidelity. Now below is a picture of a murky gold label copy that is often sold as an original, but it looks very suspect to me. The sound quality is low volume and poor fidelity. Does anyone know if this suspect copy is an early bootleg or maybe a company reissue? I know there are the round clock design labels as well.
