What's the story of the Majestee's 'pressing with the typo'? I got my copy from Soul Bowl about 20 years ago and it has the spelling 'Majjestee's' (double j).
EDIT: Doh! It's ok i've just found the topic/thread on it on here....and I was part of it!!!! Old age definitely setting in
Another 'anomoly'...this time the Mirwood Sherlie Matthews 45.
Another Soussan press?
Am I right in thinking the legitimate release is on the Inferno UK LP from the mid 1980's?
Pretty sure this has been discussed before but thought I'd re-release it (pardon the pun!) as we are on a Mirwood trip.
Is there actually a USA 45 release on Mowest?
45cat suggests MW-5025 but I cannot find an image for this 45 anywhere! I've never seen a copy.
Anyone got a scan?
Any info on this pair who did the 2 sided classic...?
It has been suggested that Carol is 'Carole Bayer Sager' who was married to Burt Bacharach.
So who's Gerri? Anybody know? Gerri Diamond perhaps?
You have a point! There must be at least 8 F.Valli / 4 Seasons tunes that have had plays on the NS scene. Can you name 8 from Otis? It must be the pop/Motown sound is (was?) more at home on the scene than the 'grits n' chiltlins' southern sound.
EDIT: I suppose it's all about the danceability of a tune rather than where it's actual origins lie?
Here you go, scroll down a bit and you will see a gig ad for St. Louis Union 'The Group On The Northern Soul Scene'....this must have been in the 1960's surely!!!

'Rare Soul' was the other name being banded about (well, in the 80's anyway).
I like the term 'Northern Soul', you have to admit it's got a good ring to it! Even the Yanks are calling it that now!!
Stan Vincent was also involved with this group's first 45 release back in the 60's (which was under their 'everyday name'). I don't believe they ever played live gigs as the Crow
Just out of interest Roburt, what was their 60's / 'everyday' name?
Anybody noticed that the last 4 seem to be readily available on ebay for as little as £15/25 each? There seems to be an abundance of them.
Any before that are in the £100 range (or thereabouts).
What's happened? Are they pressing extra copies exclusively for dealers or is that the quality has dipped?
