What about the Renfro stuff for Sequins, Carl Henderson and Sam Cox - have they been re-issued, booted? Any mileage in them?

Walking in through the doors to the Highland Room at the Mecca for the first time and hearing Little Queenie, the atmosphere was sensational, the dance floor was heaving and I knew there and then that this scene was something special and would continue to enthrall and delight us all for years to come

Can't play the clip, but if this was played last night around 6.00pm on Radio 2 or Smooth FM (can't rember what station I was listening to ) it was awful!

£75 per JM -one went for $84 in September on e-bay

All per JM's latest

Subway Riders "After the session" - Moon Shot - first issue as I understand the second issue is a different tune

Determination

All £50 or less. JM has Johnny Payne listed at £150 though. Some nice tunes though - Don Covay old Torch/Mecca sound, possibly even earlier. Pageants, agreed should be played out,H B Barnum I think is ok, got it on a tape somewhere. I'll dig it out and post up a clip if possible.

Baz, each to his own mate, the diversity/difference of opinions etc is part of the intrigue of the scene, don't you think? I could have listed any one of dozens of tracks as could everybody else but this track is as near to defining NS as any other. Epitome of Sound would be a very, very close second, however.

Late addition but not previously mentioned (I think) Steinways "You've been leading me on". Rousing drum and piano intro, thumping drum beat throughout, great vocals, neat breaks - everything in my opinion that defines Northern Soul

Definitely forerunner to Gypsy and then James Walsh Gypsy Band. Single is the only outing on Metrobeat, other stuff came out on Garrett, Banger, Twin Town, Soma, Dunwich and Pip. The stuff on Soma and Dunwich was as "Hot Half Dozen" but essentially the same group.Can't help on whether or not it was played out.

Ther's another "unknown artist" on this "label" which appears in John Manship's "Million Dollars of Rare Soul" with the title typed in a similar fashion on the label - "Chairman of the nitty gritty committe". I wonder whether or not the output comes from some form of studio/recording booth where it was possible to just turn up with appropriate equipment etc and lay down some form of track which resulted in a rough pressing. On the other hand I might be talking complete bo***cks. Perhaps JM can add a bit more detail about the one in his book.

It's included on an album "Testify" which is a compilation of tracks from his One-derful recordings. I t doesn't seem to appear in the One-derful singles listings for him, so it looks like it may be LP only or previously un-issued as you say.

No info on whther or not it's been booted. JM's latest guide has it at a ton.

"Sinifesela ukhisimusi omeuhle nonyaka omusha onempumelelo" for all Zulu Soul Sourcers of which there must be plenty! For the Soul Source team my best regards for the festive season and thanks for a great 2006.

Could agree with those already posted particularly Stax, Motown but Okeh would be a truely great gift - just look at the stuff that was put up last week - OK its Tuesday, awesome. Brunswick and Cadet would get a look in too.

Love to be there, mate but we're off on a walking holiday this Christmas to Austria - should be a skiing holiday but there's no f**king snow! Hope you have a great night though.

Auction closed last week - $156k winning bid turned out to be a prank! Currently back on auction with bidders registering beforehand so that references can be checked.

Cheers Andy, will listen at home, can't access Real Player at work.

Info/sound clips please for Vashons - "We'll be together" - Delle Walter Wilson - "Love keeps me crying" - Wand

F*kcing hell Ken, eclectic mix or what? Keep it up man, your'e on your own!

JM's latest £350

Hmm! Popsike shows last sale at $138 May 2006 for the issue. Previous sales all less than $100. $250-300 seems way over the top unless Jerry Osbourne knows something we don't!

The 5102 issue with "There can be a better way" is booked at £750 in JM's latest whereas the demo is at £40. Looks like there was only the one demo with "Paybacks a drag" on both sides
