  1. ...mmmm, my maroon styrene 45 is in my 'originals only' box...
  2. Always reminds me of the time I was watching TV and an interview with 'Atomic Kitten', the interviewer said... "you're in the charts with an old 'Blondie' record..." ... I could have smashed the TV into a thousand pieces!!!!!
  3. Mods were the first British movement to get into Soul/Motown, so in 1975 if any older punters attended 'Wigan' they could have said "Hey, I danced to this tune 10 years ago!!!" Same thing now really, we can say to the young 'uns..."Hey, I danced to this tune 30 years ago!!!"
  4. I remember in 1979 as a 17 year old, I was already into Northern Soul (since 1976) and then got into Ska/Reggae via the 2-Tone movement. Oh, how the old '69 Skinheads rebuked us...."we were there first time around, the Specials are just copying Prince Buster etc, etc". Because of 2-Tone. which was dissed by the old firm, I now have a nice collection of original authentic Jamaican Ska/Reggae 45's and L.P's alongside my Northern Soul collection. I suppose the point is there's no set point where you have to begin liking a certain type of music....
  5. Unreleased during the 60's - Spencer Wiggins - Let's Talk It Over. Has to be one of the biggest Northern Soul unreleased discoveries.
  6. Unfortunatley the one I got is minus 'Try To Think...'
  7. I have the 45, got it from a junk shop a few years back. Quite a nice ballad.
  8. That is Chuck Jackson at the front of Del Vikings?
  9. I just had to 'youtube' Jo Boxers and you're right, I had to laugh at the video. Great stuff
  10. Not sure....but a question, is Connie McGill a fella? Certainly sounds like it. Strange choice of name for a geezer!
  11. Click to enlarge. Vertical lines are obviously on the scanner...
  12. Demo vg+ £25 free post full scan to follow....
  13. Oooh, heaven! Boxed Japanese tin Robots, Action Man, Subbuteo......
  14. I remember getting a UK re-press of this L.P. It was on the new late 70's blue design Motown logo, you know the big 'M'. Traded it on when I got the US Gordy original.
  15. I love digging....charity shops, car boots etc..I get a thrill from finding records (mainly on UK labels from these kind of places) for peanuts. Mod 60's stuff, Soul and Reggae or just plain unknown pop, 45's and lps. Ok it's not as prolific from these sources as it used to be back in the 80's/90's but finding something good for 20p is still a great feeling.
  16. As a Motown collector I will buy vol-2 despite all the problems some are having, I'm sure they will do a better job ('once bitten.... '). Anyway, the singles are now individually up on ebay as we knew they would be..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161213266042?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
  17. Ah, which track denbo? I won't be able to help but as a Motown L.P collector I am intrigued
