Really useful thanks Chalky. Puts me in mind of the art world with things like screen prints and lithographs that eventually deliver inferior issues of the master, and nowadays digital options like giclee which are high quality reproductions of the 'master', but which could have a re-run if demand was there that was identical to the first run of whatever the artist thought they could sell.

Sorry to hear this. One of the Soul pack records I was very pleased to keep from back in the day: Probably a candidate for the "Blurred Line" thread too.
-
I thought the sound quality was excellent. The label also fine, just black on a silver/grey background. Outer edge of label very smooth, the inner edge just a tiny bit puckered. Vinyl surface immaculate. Plain white paper sleeve.
-
That's the case for me certainly, and as mentioned before, I've no problem with digital formats as well, I just have an enjoyment of putting a 45 on the deck now and again and sitting back to listen. Plus of course many records have label designs that add a lot to the pleasure, sometimes for the quality of design and often as not, not, but they all give that little extra.

Fairytale end to the story for me. The incredibly generous @reforee got in touch and was able to get me the spare copy he bought for a friend who turned out to have already bought one anyway. @Eddie Hubbard was DJing in Newark on Sunday and Dave passed the record via Ed who has kindly delivered it to me earlier this evening. Love Soul Source - thanks guys, what a great forum!

Jamie Records and the Oscars - Green Book Film Soundtrack
Seano commented on Mike's article in News Archives
Terrific news from the Golden Globes Frank! The film scored 3 winners: Mahershala Ali for Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture Music or Comedy Motion Picture Screenplay of a Motion Picture and along with that two nominees: Viggo Mortensen for Actor in a Musical of Comedy Film Peter Farrelly for Director of a Motion Picture Can't wait to see this film. Any new on the Winter/Spring compilations you refer to and maybe for a special 45 release of an unreleased track from the compilations? -
Checking out your photos on Flickr reminded me that I'd taken a bunch that night and the next morning too. Nothing like as good as yours unfortunately, but here you go:

Hi Chalky, nice posting and it took me to your Flickr album of the event. Excellent photos, and I do like the one of Eddie Hubbard with Fred Bridges at the end.
-
Yes it was a tremendous performance, a good bunch of the Banbury soul crowd came along and I know Roger Saint, who worked with you on this, was equally proud of the event!
-
That's a powerful demonstration of the value of increasing the initial order.
-
Amazing to think of ordering your own discs here! It all adds up of course, and I haven't got a musical bone in my body, but we can all dream!
-
True, volume brings prices down, the thing is trying to second guess whether you'll ever sell the larger quantity. Great if all goes well and you've got the extra stock, but if not what do you do with them - people don't like buying at full price to then find you shift the remainder at a lot less!
-
I was thinking this myself, but I do get that trepidation about pressing more than you can sell - my wife constantly juggles this with prints or cards featuring paintings she's done.
-
I got the Juno alert too, sadly it got to my email at 4.07, but by the time I'd got home just now and checked email it was too late. I tried the link and phoned through - the guy told me they'd sold all 20 pretty much straight away. Would have been nice for the 'Feel Good Friday' feeling, but hopefully others of you were more lucky / quicker off the mark.
-
Agreed Mark. I'm very attached to my 45s, so was hoping this would make it to vinyl. But as an original download I'd have no problem hearing this played out as a digital file. I presume the only reason it's made it to a single release is because of feedback from downloads and being included on the Expansion compilation.
-
Sounds like you got in just in time - nice one!
-
I only checked on their links given via EE&S Facebook posting. Rough Trade had nothing via a search, Northern Lights just had a phone number (website photos look good and I like the name!) which I haven't followed up, and A1 took me to Instagram and then an unavailable website.
-
Hadn't meant for this to shift towards a debate around OVO. Really appreciate all the tips around trying to get hold of it. Like Scootboy, I prefer to get hold of 45s, and as this is a legitimate release direct from the band / label then I don't have a problem with that. The band and their distributors will get their take and not a bootlegger; that, to me, is the crucial difference we ought to be concerned with. I've tried the US links posted on Ernest Ernie & the Sincerities Facebook page but no joy at Rough Trade NYC, nor Northern Lights and A1 Records. Dusty Groove had just sold out, so I've contacted the band directly.
-
Thanks Rob, sorry to hear it's confirmed, but good that he was aware of the interest in his work.
-
Thanks all, guess I missed the boat.

Having thought this was great when I saw it referenced on another thread here on Soul Source, I was hoping to hear of a 7" release. I'd commented on the official video thread on YouTube and having just looked in noticed I'd had a reply from David Pinches to say it had now come out a few days ago. Gutted to discover that I can't find it in stock anywhere - anyone got any knowledge of where I can try? Meanwhile, just because it's so good, here's the link again to the tune:
-
Great news Rob - nice to think that these guys can finally get paid for their contribution to soul music. I'm puzzled about Fred Bridges though, having come across this a while ago suggesting he'd died in January 2018: https://www.soultracks.com/story-fred-bridges-dies

Just spotted that Channel 4 have Elaine Constantine's film, Northern Soul, scheduled for 1.50am tonight / New Year's Day morning. I'm guessing everyone's seen it but it might help to welcome the New Year in!

Harlem 69 is definitely up there, excellent book. And as Keamus notes, mention has to be made of Richard Searling's book. The earlier books by Stuart Cosgrove have been in Fopp and Head for about £3 or £5 this past year. Another find in Head was the James McBride book, 'Kill 'em and leave' - 'searching for the real James Brown' - a very good read that only cost £3. For 2019 I'm looking forward to reading 'Rodigan - my life in Reggae' and 'Long, slow train' the book about Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings - both Christmas presents.

This Is Lowrider Soul - New Compilation From Ace/Kent
Seano commented on Sean Hampsey's article in News Archives
Tim - this guy's videos all seem to be Low Rider Soul / Chicano Soul. Stylishly edited though the visuals may be a bit of a marmite-type thing for some people. It was via his video to Darrow Fletcher's '(Love is my) Secret Weapon' that I first heard the track and am now the proud owner of the Kent 7" issue of the track. https://www.youtube.com/user/ianwhitt100?pbjreload=10 If that link doesn't work just search YouTube for Ian Whittington. I don't know anything about him, I've assumed he's a British Soulie who moved over to LA - anybody here know the story?
