Joey Delorenzo is not my favourite record and not a great vocal, but it is a good dancer with a interesting production that works in a venue played loud. There have always been records that please the dance floor, more than the purist soul aficionado. But I think that's part of the tapestry of Northern Soul! It's varied with a lot of different styles. That's what keeps it interesting. It is a balance between the dancer, who just wants to have a good exciting dance, and the good quality DJ who wants to get good quality tunes accepted. As long as it's liked and accepted on the Northern Soul allnighter dancefloor, it should be played. It's a democracy and the dancefloor is where the votes are cast!!

Maybe see about 4 times more demos than issues. The record is great, but not particularly rare.

I thought there is something in the sites rules about using bad language.

I bought the USA Red and White demo in Wigan record bar, it looks and plays great. I've never had a UK copy. Fantastic record IMO.

Wigan Casino All-Nighters, and the awesome moment I first walked through those doors!

Yes totally agree. Haven't they got any idea's or creativity of there own! Things like Yazz "The Only Way Is Up" and Simply Red with "A Lot Of Love". They totally overshadow the original better recordings.

I also think "The Panic Is On" is a great record by Roy Hamilton. Slower than the other two, but still excellent.

There should be a law to stop this sacrilege!😀. I hope it doesn't turn into another big hit, like Soft Cell and "Tainted Love!"🙁.

"WHERE ARE YOU" - FOUR SONICS - TRIPLE B (Great version of Johnny Dixon on Boss) "IT'S NOT THE SAME" - LITTLE ANTHONY - VEEP (Hexagonal label design) "I WON'T NEED YOU" - GENE CHANDLER - CHECKER (Just pure Chicago class) Just some of what I have been buying back this year. Had them before, but regretted selling them. P.S. "It's No Sin" - Gene and Eddie - Mon'ca

"The Chase Is On" The Artistics Brunswick 45rpm USA original first issue. Condition is Mint- Apart from two small drill holes in label. £30 plus £3.50 recorded delivery' Great version of the current Johnny Howard biggie!

"Hey Girl Don't Bother Me" The Tams was reissued on Probe because of plays on the Northern Scene. (Twisted Wheel etc) Originally on the HMV label in the UK. That got to number 1 in the UK charts in 1971 on Probe. After giving it some thought, I think the Frankie Valli was earlier than the Tams reissue.

Dave Godin. That's why one of the scenes biggest characters of the past, Pete Lawson, called his magazine "The Gospel According To Dave Godin!"

"Walk With A Winner" Gene McDaniels was a little high but ok for a mint copy! £200.

sweep113 has one for sale on ebay for £500. His copy is on the black 80's design RCA label. I think sweep113 is Steve Jeffries. It was on his sales list several weeks ago.

They probably don't have a copies of things like Spyder Turner "I Can't make It Any More" - MGM! It will be too cheap for them! They won't want to get into that bag!! They thought it was a great record and really liked it, till they found out how cheap it was!!

It was really loud upfront, but the Casino had many little out of the way corners and in the record bar, it was not as loud. Of course anyone who was feeling really, really good would not notice the volume too much!!!

A wonderful classic Northern Soul record but I always thought it from New York. On that label and with those credits.

I LOVE YOU ALWAYS c/w YEARS OF TEARS THE RIVINGTONS VeeJay. ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUE 45rpm CONDITION IS MINT- Labels as displayed in pictures. Two great Northern Soul sides. It's a doublesider! £70 plus postage to UK address recorded £3.50

Is it Lou Stanley?

Do you mean Frank Wilson instead of Jackie Wilson? I would not think it problem selling them, as long as you let potential buyers know they are lookalikes/boots, and do not state that they are originals.

If it's a collectors classic, then no. But if it's something that's only a dj's five minute wonder, then yes.

Thats a great way to remember Johnny. It looks really special. It's a shame about John. I travelled many miles to and from allnighters with him. We had some good talks on records and collecting. He did like his UK things but also had some nice USA 45's. The last time I was in his company was at Newton Aycliffes RAFA rare soul night in 2017. These where some of the records played that night.

The copy Anglo had on auction was the slightly rarer two line Four Brothers logo original. The usual one line logo original, and this one, are both Atlantic/Atco distributed, but from there different pressing plants. There is also a styrene west coast delta number original. And of course, the many different copies and boots as well, which is a bit of a minefield!

You and I would never get that price for them! Only Manship can attract these money people who must regard his auctions, in his own words as "The holy grail! They are buying into the kudos and reputation of the Manship brand!
