Right this is getting on my tits now!! Does anybody know of a web site that gives (FREE !!) a complete U.S. Motown & all it's other labels track listings?? Thought this would be a simple one to search for myself but hey diddle diddle it's not so easy to source as i first thought it would be

£45 notes for a Gary Haines very good look -a- like bootleg is when you think about it not bad money seeing as its dog hard to get hold of a copy and it would not surprise me in the least if it was not an awful lot rarer than most originals of any record below £250 and there is the added bonus of it at least being on vinyl not styrene. Discuss!!

Soul Sounds label boots were done by a bloke called Jeff King (or at least distributed by him) and they was pressed in the back streets of Leicester behind the old "Night Owl" venue.............so there!!

The top one is defo proper - cleaner lines and much tighter printing on the lettering used, but that is not to say the one below is defo not real as it could be, its all in the dead wax like previous poster has said. Generally on these a 3turn dead wax = proper anymore and its a lookalike boot.

It was then a quick hop skip and a jump over to Arena 2 to catch the tail end of the Lifeline extravaganza. Cliff was on when we got there and so was the heating! OMG I have never known anything like it Not many in but the music was top notch. Mick followed Cliff and by the end of his set there was about 10 of us left and we were all in agreement that a great time was had by all. Some of you would say it would be impossible for that few people in a room the size of a small country to have a fantastic time. Well those who were there will tell you otherwise. A dozen smiling, happy, sweaty faces had to be kicked out of there by the Pontins staff - all of us shouting for one more record. It was ace! ***************************************************************************************** I have to agree with what you said, not many in and all that, and me being an out and out oldies kind of guy i sat down utterly knackered ready for a little chill time and then Mick H treated me and i guess the others in the room (not many) that to my ears was all new and just feckin' brilliant!! i mean every single 45 he played just blew me away to be honest and i have no idea what it was - been told it was 70's crossover (rare) AWESOME STUFF!!

As far as i am aware Young Ethan did not win he came in second place the winner being a lady dancer of the highest quality, still a little messy right now and her name has vanished.

Never done as many dayers as nighters...(who has!!) but two stick in my memory as awesome. Birmingham power house(Lacarno) And i think it was a one off but it was truly fantastic..........Tic Toc club in Coventry.

Soul Sam has a minter on Eskee in his sales box right now.............seen it last night at kings hall.

i always was under the impression that the original bernard williams + bluenotes was on green harthon as apposed to the orange one??

No not got one for sale Mark, i had a copy on demo BITD when things was a little cheaper where vinyl is concerned (£6.00 off of Rob Wigley) Just know it to be a real rare one as far as demos go. talking of demo's anyone ever seen demo's of any swirl patten Ric-Tic's as in Al Kent - Way You Been Acting Lately??

LOL!! now your just showing off..............kin nice though. The best i seen on here so far reading through this thread is the Inez & Charlie Fox "Tightrope" just love this tune to bits. Anybody put up a Leon Haywood "Reconsider" promo???..............rare as hens teeth is this also Tony Clarke "Landslide" Chess promo and me thinks the hardest one to get hold of these days has just got to be Eddie Parker's "Love You Baby" Ashford promo..........

Sam Fletcher!! OMG!! does this 45 get right on my tits. Somebody try to explain to me where this 45 fits the bill on a dance scene, and whats more its shite tripe!!

Oh well my theory dashed.......still feckin sounds like the same lead vocal to me though and not just slightly...alot. Billy Frazer.....Youth Opportunity program..............what the devil is with this one?? sure somebody knows.

Valentinos - Womack & Womack Norman Johnson &/ or The Showmen - Chairman Of The Board/ AKA General Johnson The Velours - Frankie Vallie + 4 Seasons.......( just my little theory)

"BOBA" & "DOBBER" There got to be a wise crack in that somewhere just cant seem to get my head in gear to find it

So what you are saying is that you are basically "T" cutting the bad vinyl away and leaving fresh polished new vinyl in the same way you would polish out scratches on car paint work?? Yeah i can see that working to restore the "look" of a 45 but it aint gonna remove any hiss or clicks as they are inside the grooves themselves, but as a way of restoring the shine yes it would work me thinks

If its just dust/dirt clogging up the grooves and not actual faint scratches which you can do nothing about then just keep on playing on repeat for a dozen times stick it in a bag take it somewhere where there is compressed air lines used to blow away metal turnings or the like i.e. an engineering shop and just blow away till your hearts content......word of warning though dont let air get under any lifting paper label kind of affair as its the last time you will see it if you know what i mean.

Personally cannot see for the life of me what the problem is here, most seem to think that the scene is flooded with nighters week in week out but that is so wrong. Since the new year i think ( i maybe wrong) there has been 2 nighters on : Manchester and Gloucester and the fact that there is now 3 nighters on in one weekend i agree is not the best made plans by promoters but it is what it is. Rugby is well established and its attendance on the night i would say will not be affected by the other two which are first time events, one being run by a well established promoter and to which you know what you will get - Kings Hall just a different location - Which to me is spot on, its how i like my northern soul, and the other hoping that the lure of days gone by in a mega venue will bring in the crowds, which i am sure it will as in todays scene the lure of a little nostalgia does bring in rewards financially. But when all said and done you makes your choice and to be honest if there was no choice then we would be in a sorry situation having to go to a nighter just because its all thats on........bring on the choice so we can make our own minds up.....the established will remain and the one offs that loose money on the night or are just plain crap will remain one offs never to be seen again......but please give me the choice anyways. Just as a side issue i STILL have not for sure made my mind up where i am going....it will be one of the 3 that are on but which who knows.....and seriously i was even thinkin of going to all 3!! ffs!! My feelin on this is as follows, i believe that Rugby is where the people i "hang" about with at nighters..you know just have the crack with will be, but me thinks for my taste at any rate the best place will be Blackpool but i am going Kings Hall so same as, and Derby me thinks could be quite a good night if the attendance is what it will need to be to make it good. Who knows??

Defo not booted. Paper on styrene cant remember dead wax. What i do know is the other side "Aint That Love Enough" is feckin awesome!!

Whats your ball park price for cecil washington

Mainly sixties U.S. Motownesk, sung mainly by black artists but not Exclusive too, with a beat that makes it different to "soul" 22!! not bad........it cannot be done in ten!!

You gotta tell us all now so we can all laugh at your "new taste" For once i actually think Bearsy might have gotten it bang on!! You gotta laugh!!

OooErr mrs!! Now that does give the OVO crowd a big dilemma does it not.......if SIR is to all intense and purpose from what you are saying a bootleg then it cant be played according to the 2011 revised bible of "soul Policing Of DJ's" as it states and i quote :- " if a dj plays a tune, even some 30 years after being discovered and played, and thought of being of legendary status amongst dancers and collectors and is later to be found that the said tune is/was in fact a non original/bootleg, then the said dj MUST be removed from the decks forthwith and his/her name published through out all forms of media." It goes on to say after alot of legal rubbish " after all investigations are complete then the said record must be written out of northern soul records data base, and must never be played at an event EVER again or heard again by the followers" Myself i dont give a flying ....... its still streets ahead of Rose Batiste.
