Haydn

A Mr Harkins Caley fave, it was booted on BARI, no idea who did these tho! H

Ye can pick up a cheaper U.S. Tony Colton, instead of where you are looking Alan lol

Also in the 70's at the height of disco boom, Motown 12" were on the ball with the mixing because they would state on the label, various acts throughout the track. They would list times of intro, mid and outro which were clearly definable by the smooth gaps in the groove. Hope this helps, H

Arthur B Lintgen was the guy I remember that read the classical vinyl and did a good job of naming the covered records given to him, claiming that he read the grooves and not the notes. The story is here.... https://www.skepdic.com/vinylvision.html

This guy explains it quite well with video......

There was a guy that held some sort of record (no pun) for reading the grooves on classical records. Its more obvious on 12" where you can see intro, mid and outro, it is possible H

Otis Redding, Try a little tenderness Still does it for me!

Chuck Jackson/Elvis - Any day now Tommy Hunt - Lover

It was put out on a legal compilation early 80's as unreleased/unissued but had been getting plays before that on the popcorn/soul scene. The dates on this later release make that it wasn't evident till 2009, which aren't a true indication Lightwater

Thanks but got the mp3 off the cheap vinyl compilation that it came out on. Just looking for more information as in dates, discovery, past plays for dj's etc H

Any info on this track, as far as I can see it was unreleased/unissued but it has turned up on smalltime label compilations and not on any proper released Gladys Knight lps. tia, H

Would it be a better idea to start a thread for each specific genre from the northern umbrella? Just a thought, H

Hokeygate and Blackpool was just a victim of circumstance, I have seen elsewhere and more cringeworthy shennanigans. If you look on Youtube, it is all there for folks to see. Nothing is hidden or sacred nowadays Every so often folks will let off steam about likes and dislikes, this has just been another chapter in the book. Everybody will survive and the music in all factors will remain. I have had emails/pm from both parties concerning likes and dislikes, they are all valid imo but it doesn't justify wanting to give someone a bleachin' just because they don't agree. H

1970, The Birth of Popcorn! https://www.laid-back.be/blog/?p=4234

Well, I certainly didn't expect this backlash when doing Northern Souls "TV Burp". Like a few members on here, I was just surprised to see it so far removed from the scene as I know it. (my opinion) The dub was only reflection of how it looked to me, and am sure it wouldn't have been long before somebody else did it. We got allsorts of videos of non-artists dancing and dubbed onto soul tracks for a laugh, but this hit a nerve, maybe because it showed a bit closer to home and involved soulies(?) I have never tried to pinpoint anybody to specific blame, in most instances we are all to blame. One minute we want more people on the scene and the next we are complaining because they come in their droves. Any etiquette is forgotten, drinks and whatever else before the music, violence and sliding on the floor like a kid at a wedding. I find it disgusting that some folks try and look to blame one person, as if that person ripped the heart out of it all, we need to take a good hard look at how we ALL behave. There is many a time when I have been out in a social gathering, weddings, birthdays etc. There will be a DJ with his hard drive, somebody mentions "ooooh! put some Northern Soul on for they guys", a token gesture to let us enjoy ourselves too, thank you! The DJ then plucks a tune that he knows hee-haw about, and relatives and friends expect us to dance like a dog looking for a biscuit. "Show me how you dance to Northern Soul", am sure some have been there, it's not amusing. Cringeworthy at best, and it's this kind of attitude from public that has crept onto the bandwagon also. As if it is some kind of side-show. There are a lot of folks on the scene that do it their way and it is appreciated by many, horses for courses. This thread has shown that many people still retain a passion for whatever they get out of any side of the scene, long may it continue. There are plenty of places to choose from, it is your money and time, do as you please. But don't forget to laugh at life, cos it laughs at us all! H

Saw another of his Temptations cover also, fantastic. All we got in Aberdeen is an old bird playing a one-string guitar with a broken fork

Nice one Dave!

Arrived today, All good, Cheers Fella!

It's coloured vinyl, must be worth a fortune :lol:

Had some good lifts from genuine music lovers, but get let down time and time again by folks watching too many auction sites and not paying attention. Some of the worst offenders are folks that dipped there fingers into the mod/scooterist scene in the 80's. "I got hundreds of classic records mate, they be worth a fortune now!" Never have I had the honour of delving through the biggest amount of sh#te in my life.

All gone now, thanks for enquiries, H

Just bought up an old collection that includes 200 reissues/boots/lookalikes. (Soul Sounds, SOS, Stardust,70's Pressings) Was gonna do a job lot on the Bay of E with them. Not got time to list them all at moment but if there is something you are looking for, drop me a pm and I will see what I can do. H
