Thanks Mike. Was being lazy as in too much effort to sort it myself. Was wondering if there had already been a club time line done. I find myself getting mixed up as to what nighter came when. Perhaps look back at what I can record by different memberships and stuff and then start up in yesterdays.

Is there any book, or has it been done on-line (on here???) that offers a chronology of northern soul all nighters. I don't have the history of many on here (and many not on here, thinking of my dear friend Garry Churm who lurks but doesn't post, the selfish *!**), but I'm losing the memory of the sequence of all-nighters that were important to me. Indeed I'm losing the memory of some nighters all together. Not so concerned about the last decade or so, thinking more of my formative years on the scene. For me, and in wrong order after first few no doubt: Nottingham Palais, Phoenix Wirrina, St Ives, Wigan, Coalville Tiffs, Samanthas, Cleethorpes pier and winter gardens, Wakefield unity, Morcambe pier, Blackpool mecca, Clifton, Bradford (was that queens hall), Hinckley, Warrington Parr Hall, Stafford, Keele . . . . . and i know I'm going to be missing some really obvious ones, just thought of a couple of local (to me) i've missed, Mansfield Swan, Rock city, and those nighters at Chesterfield Winding Wheel that were plagued by the police and DS. I'm plagued by one at Sheffield, I can picture the floor but nothing else, and one outside Manchester that's a bit misty. I daren't tempt my brain to consider soul nights!! Dayers might be easier though. I'm aware this is all a bit retro, but would love to see some kind of NS nighter family tree, like most family trees it would become much more complicated in latter days, perhaps too much to make any sense of. Just an idle intrigue Has anyhting been put down in print?

Josie1 - sorry you've not got much response for your post. see you've just joined, don't be disheartened. Perhaps if you let people know what your intention is, are you looking to start a NS night in New Cross or looking for a place to go. There's quite a few London clubs if you just want a night to attend. best wishes, Dean.

What a great Tower sleeve that one's in. Unusual design. Stating obvious, but then I guess only obvious if you know so will say anyway, there's a uk Capitol re-issue of this that should be cheap also.

Posted 15 Jun 2010 - 09:16 AM You'll regret selling that Freddie Scott, one of the best tunes you've ever introduced me to (and you've introduced me to several), wonderful tune, deserves a big room spin. Nothing quite like sticking it in a mate when he's down. However, Kev at least your a leader not a . Think I might have a spare!

https://cgi.ebay.com/Freddie-Scott-Ill-Gone-Northern-Soul-45-Shout-HEAR-/120668752102?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item1c186b08e6 Now I do really lik this track and think it would be a good one to hear out more, but I've always thought of it as a very cheap record to get. Just saw this Freddie Scott - I'll be Gone on SHOUT $67 with ten mins left and 12 bids. Where are htese bidders when you need em eh?

Been waiting patiently for several 45s from USA. One won 20/12 arrived yesterday, one won 25/12 arrived today, as did a 30/12 purchase. All uk stuff has been very prompt though. As usual purchase from A45heaven purchased late on 1/1/11 arrived first post after bank hol - I think Barrie uses well trained pigeons. Some fly fishing stuff I ordered last Thurs (not from A45) also turned up next day even though it was quite bulky.

Thanks for helping the curious. Sounds much closer to Tears (on givhan). The givhan's an odd one isn't it. Again no label credits and strangely the 3 discs having the same catalogue number 108 (Rodger Wade, Leonard Pierce and Master Keys). Notice it's Master Keys on the givhan too rather than Masterkeys, but definitely sounding right. Thanks again for the info. Dean

Just enjoying the Masterkeys - If You Haven't Got Love / Weak and Broken Hearted (notice this is a Willie Mitchell prod) on Sport Records. Got to thinking is this the same group who recorded I Done Got On The Right Road on Co-Op, not really sure if that's credited to Masterkeys or Master Keys. Barrie had one a few month ago on his A45 list, Killa plays one out, but don't see the Co-Op one very often so can't recall. Just an idle thought - any info?

That's great. Rubs the wrong way when it's $20+ postage on some

Not of great interest, but thought it good to share some positive news about USA postage Seller:jlu33 ( 559) USPS First Class Mail International : US $2.92 Estimated delivery: Varies* Seller ships within 1 business day(s)Item location, mid-west USA! $2.92 That puts some to shame. Of course when item arrives with a customs fine, in a plain white envelope, unprotected, and postage due stickers I may have to reconsider, but for now Hey hey.

. . . .and is in agin this year at number 57 on the 2011 list. Did hear ir a few times in 2010, although some of that may be due to me hanging around with Kev Holmes who originally put me onto this and played it out a few places. Personally I hope it keeps on going

Bloody hell, now there's a record I'd lost from memory. Not heard or heard of it for !*!!* years. I don't know if I've still got one but will have a rummage, if I've not I hope it is still cheap as I woulddn't mind for sentimental memory. Thanks for reminding. I do like this thread, lots I don't know too.

One of the first "club" soul records I can remember - and still love it. Sad loss last summer.

Remember when this was filling floors - what were we thinking? L J Johnson - Your Magic Put A Spell On Me

Interesting enough (IMO) lesser played but playable.

Two Classic female vocals, very much of their day I guess but I can still enjoy these today. And I do like a date stamp!

Nope, one side white one side orange. Still attractive I think.

I've a great historical knack of buying and keeping records that are worth about the same now as what i paid back in the day, not buying those that rocketed, or even worse, selling the ones that rocketed back in the day before they rocketed. It's a good job I don't do this as a job.

Also (you can tell I'm not doing much work!) saw this fetched £195 on JM auction last night. I'd have thought an ok price for such a clean one. One of those records from the past that i probabaly like more now. Sorry didn't realise pic was going to come out so small, it's the Victors - Hurt.

I always thought this so superior to spiral staicase (not that that sets the bar very high) and have enjoyed spinning a few times. This is apic from the web, just wanted to contribute and not been around much recently. I'm sure my prom is one side blue / one side orange. I'll try and post a pic of that tonight if I get time, just out of interest.

Are you tryin' to say you have 2 friends!!!!!! Can I slot another in Sean. Not my suggestion originally - JM's auction had a UK demo of Four Tops - Shake Me Wake Me, in the comments he mentioned how good the flip was and ready for picking up on. I know this a bit sheep-like of me, but heh-ho, I dug out a Us Motown Issue (must be bargain cheap still) and the flip is bloody great, but I'd forgotten about it. Genuinely could pick up plays this year. Four Tops - Just As Long As You Need Me https://www.soul-sour...as-you-need-me/

......... and a happy new year. Best wishes to those who have sold me quality rcords at good prices. Let's see what 2011 box will look like. Irrespective of all the "record mountain" "end of the scene" chatter, I'm still lovin buyin my cheap bits. Here's to many nights on our own home decks over a bottle or two. Dean

Another good double sider oldie. Jimmy Jones - Don't You Just Know It b/w Dynamite. Lost in memory these days but both sides have been played out.
