"You Succeeded" - Sandra Phillips - Broadway. (Rarer gold label issue) Condition is Ex. Small drill hole in label. Looks and plays great. £75 + £3.50 recorded delivery. Bank transfer or Paypal (by friends & family) Great Northern Soul classic.

Well if you want an true 1973 original, you need a Sterling stamped vinyl white demo.The original 1973 release only got to demo stage. There where no pink issue copies made at that time. If you are happy with a legal reissue that was pressed up for the Northern Soul scene in 1975 by the label owner, buy a pink styrene issue. Both play well, but the demo is high quality vinyl.

If you type "Indelgents" into the Soul-source search box you will find several topics covering this. I remember it being discussed a number of times. I think it's a great record and a good one to hear in a venue!

Yes there are plenty of yellow label copies, as well as green. Most other releases on the label have green labels. They may have run out of green paper at the label printers! Great double sider!

A friend of mine was dj'ing with an original vinyl copy. It was late and we had all had a few beers. He missed the sleeve and dropped it. Landing on it's edge, it rolled along the floor and he had to chase it! 😨We were all frozen with horror, but luckily it was alright! 👍 Gwen survived! We can laugh about it now, but it could have been costly!

Yes it's a "style or category of music," hence it's genre. It's just some people will not accept the dictionary's explanation. They think they know better!

Northern Soul Music is a genre. A catagorie of music. It doesn't matter who invented the tag Northern Soul, it describes a scene and a type of music! I don't think people like Elvis Presley and his contemporaries went into the studio and thought "I think I will make a record today to fit into a genre" They just went with the fashions in music of the time. What was selling and getting in the charts.

So now your saying Northern Soul doesn't exist! I always laugh when someone says Northern Soul isn't a genre!

Yes and all those genres you mention are a mix up of music from all over the place. Those genres you mention are just labels put to a certain music, and that's what Northern Soul Music is. The Northern Scene is the people, the venues, the fashion, the talk. Northern Soul Music is a genre (a category of music).

If you're into Northern Soul you know what it is. If your not a Northern Soul fan, you probably will never know!

O.v.o will be around a long time yet! Never underestimate the power of the super ego!☺ I suppose o.v.o holds things on an even keel. It keeps the novice totally inexperienced Tom, Dick and Harry from dj'ing at the big venues!

I Can't Hold On - Lorraine Chandler £520. Absolute Northern Soul classic, but it has never been particularly rare. Double it's usual price.

Yes I was going to say much the same. Knowing what and when to play them makes a great DJ, not just having the rarest records. The continuity of some dj's slots is a complete mix up. Experience is needed to do it properly.

I have enjoyed the records played by the DJ's already mentioned. A few more I did enjoy, but not sure if they still DJ, are Bob Hindsley and Mick H especially when he played his lesser know stuff in the DDA room in Lowton a few years back. I know Richard Searling is not top of the tree anymore, but he has great taste in Northern Soul and can still do a great spot.

It can't be, because it's me in my house😀!

A long time ago when things were different, I was offered a Four Voices for £5. I regret I didn't take it because it had a few marks on it! Back in the day, you never knew what was going to prove rare, or turn up in quantity.

Sweet Sherry - J.J.Barnes Sheer quality, and that's something I don't get tired of!

My insurance company said my records are not a collection but a lot of individual items. They said it would only be a collection, if it would be less complete by taking one away. Like a pack of cards it would be no good if you took one away. I agreed that it would not matter, apart from the value, if you took ten away.

I had a copy of The Cavilers demo and it had the very same Stan Pat sticker on the label. He must have had several copies!

Some people like paying a lot of money for records. It's the only way they can feel they are buying something worth having! I suppose I'm lucky, I like the records enough to appreciate low price records just as much as the expensive ones!

Crossover was originally meant to describe Northern Soul records that could crossover into the new Modern Soul scene. These were usually newly discoverd 70's on even 80's records. Somebody once described crossover to me as "records that were made in the 1970's, but the production/arrangement belongs in the 1960's". As time goes by, the term has evolved to mean any midtempo soulful record that sounds later than 1970. Individual people will have different definitions on it!

Two fabulous double siders, "I Don't Want To Lose You Now" and "Just Be Sincere" Jackie Wilson - Brunswick. "Dearly Beloved" and "Do You Believe It" Jack Montgomery - Scepter.

More than I sold it for😕, £25. Soul Bowl had them for £3. John Anderson must have found a batch of them. I only bought it because of the Del Larks. Back then, it was a good obscure soul record that would not have been played in a venue. I thought I did well selling for a decent profit several years later! Shame I didn't have a crystal ball!

If you have the definite original record to compare with the suspected copy, you can usually tell the difference. The plastic they use now is different from the plastic used in the 60's and early 70's. They don't make plastic like that anymore. The print would have to be the same font/style and the paper quality the same. Just small markings can give them away. It's not as easy as it first appears, as collectors and dealers have been looking at these records for 50 years!
