Yep was surprised myself.However its not easy these days to find the original 9723 Demos.Even the later 1035 reissue fetches a tidy sum

The Stateside Soul Society did a few events at the Notts Palais As Ritzy.

During 80s and 90s it sempt like you were sending off for a different membership card every week.Great times.I framed up a few of mine that survived but lots have been lost over the years.

Hi Ian Ive got most of those myself mate.Metropolitan was for Ian Levines Rocket all nighters.Top Dog would be Stafford i guess but lost mine.Stateside i had but cant bloody remember where it was late 90s.Recall Soultastic was Alfreton my number was 007.Okeh promotions was Keele.West Park was Griffin leeds.Manfesto soul club.Great Northern Soul club i think was John Vincents Sheffield.

This one as well Blue

TOTAL STORMER Martyn great record.I think i read somewhere that Barbara was Barbara Kerr and as stated later to become Rosco's Wife

Glad it worked out mate but it is frustrating i feel your pain.Its good to raise these issues as we all have been stung by various boots over the years.

Hi Mate this is a conundrum we have All had and i own both the labels.However if you do some research on both the releases you mention you will find that they are both dubious and its not certain that either are legit.Therefore the only deffo way of playing a legit release is the Kent label one which is what i opt for so no arguements can ensue.

Pete i just missed the Casino.My first Nighters were in the 80s at Clifton Hall and Stafford amoung a few others.I just love to listen to the stories of the Early Casino guys and my beer filled afternoon with my Casino pal was great fun.If i told him a story about Keele or Blackburn or Bretby he just trumped it and Bettered it with Casino stories. My mate doesnt go anywhere these days but if he came to see me DJ i just know he would shout at Me PATTO get the Royal vibes on.Try telling him i only play OVO

I went to a soul night around 10 years ago.Walked in and the first couple of tracks were quite rare tunes so i said to the promoters Nice tunes do you play Originals.DEFFO came back the reply ill play Suspicion by them for you later on. I KID YOU NOT

Not as strong or as Peculiar as the stuff the old casino guys were on when they danced to it including my mate who loves the track

Its amazing what you start talking about after a few hours downing pints in a local pub beer garden sat in 30 degrees heat So this afternoon im sat with an old mate of mine who was a casino attendee and he chooses to pick this record to bang on about AGAIN.He says that the Royal Vibes version of the Wigan Joker is not technically a bootleg as it didnt get released at the time so the Bee copy is the original. I say that Simon Soussan ripped off the mylestones version by sampling it without permission in the studio so its a boot.However i take his point that The first release is the Bee copy as it was played at the casino on a acetate. So sorry to resurect this thread but to settle the arguement is the Royal Vibes considered as legit

HI Guys Was reading the other day about vinyl being adversly effected by storing them in tightly packed boxes housed in plastic outer sleeve covers.Saw the you tube video on the subject by John Manship who seems to imply that there can be a problem with the old very thick sleeves.Has anyone had any probs using the thinner ones pictured below.

Hi Bruv This is one i got stung on many years ago.There is a thread on Here if you search for it with all the info.Think on that scan the top looks a bit brownish as opposed to the hard black of the original.

So Sorry to hear this John.As you know my heart lies with the more Traditional Northern oldies Soul scene .However i have great respect for what you did at the Horti by playing the more Soulful side of the coin that so deserves to be heard. Also have great respect for your early days support for The Gas Club helping it to get off the ground.I sincerly hope you and your DJ team live to fight another day at other venues.The soul scene needs Diversity.

That extra verse is on the Soul Town New Young Hearts release.

I Recall seeing a Recent Boot of the Boot of Dana Valery Y D K W Y I L on the pink Pussy Cat label.The second boot was selling for more than the 70s one.Just sums up the madness you see all too often.

Still looking for one never thought it would be so difficult to nail one. Prepared to pay the top end price for a nice copy

Still after this one on its original multi coloured Evolution label or the Australian original release.Been a long time want so if anyone can sort me out with this please PM PATTO

Nicely put Baz.There is simply no Mystery,Passion,pride,Excitement in a box full of Bootlegs, Re issues,and god forbid MP3s.
