Hi Guys Looking for a U.S Turbo copy of LARRY SAUNDERS--ON THE REAL SIDE in EX condition. Willing to pay £50 cash for a nice one.May consider a U.K London issue if price is right. PM me please Thanks--PATTO

My time at Keele was early 90s,fantastic place great atmosphere with an edge that you never felt anywhere else,hard to explain.Sounds from the venue that made an impact on me were GLADYS KNIGHT & PIPS---STOP AND GET A HOLD OF MYSELF, JIMMY & VELLA CAMERON---LOVING YOU IS SUCH A GROOVE, LARRY SAUNDERS--ON THE REAL SIDE. Remember Robyn bought a few records from HIM/HER never took my time browsing though

Hi Soulies Back in April we had a house fire which left us for 6 months in a temporary flat full of stress and heartache waiting for our house to be re built. Before you ask yes i did rescue my box of vinyl running downstairs out onto the street with said box on my shoulders.Anyway now we are finally back in house and getting things sorted i would just like to say thanks to all the people from the scene who helped us out and kept in touch to check if we were ok.During the whole nightmare only managed to get to two soul events the BRID weekender and the JULY STOKE NIGHTER.The Brid was our first and would like to thank the promoters as this event really lifted us at the key time it was fantastic.Also the Kings Hall took me to heaven and allowed me to put the stress to the back of my mind for a night or two.a belated shout to IAN---PARKASH, and PETE--CASPER two guys i had seen about for years but first spoke to at stoke in july,two real nice soulies.I guess what i'm really trying to say is when you are low the Northern Soul scene is a very powerful tonic we all take for granted.Anyway hope to get moving to a few nights now so see you around PATTO

Two Versions of my all time fave Northern Soul track Imberboy.The Eddie Parker shades it for me but the Hesitations is a real builder that leaves you in raptures at the fade out.Only ever owned Eddie on the 70s boot but got the Soul Superman L.P and the Hesitations also appeared on a legit(i think) SOUL SERIES 45 which came out in the 90s. As for the connection would love to know myself good question mate

Check for the Frankford & Wayne Matrix stamp in run out grooves,if it ain't got one its a boot. Also original is a turquiose tint label with red text while the boot has a plain white label with red text

Yep same as Dave says,apart from THE EXITS which could get £50

Hi Guys Bought my copy of Nine Times many years ago at Clifton Hall.Thing is mine is like the one here and all the others i've ever seen have a blue label.Is mine a later issue or just a different label design.The guy who owned it first has written the date 6/01/1976 along with the words OK FAST. Great Memories PATTO

I often hear stuff that i think is new to me then further into the track i recognise it but can't put a name to it.The thing is during the 80s period especially at Stafford hundreds of great discs were played with rapid turnover,and most of these have laid dormant waiting for reactivation.The same can be said of the hundreds of 70s tracks played at say Cleggy most of them not played out for years.I'm the same Simon i've got loads of exchange cds from mates full of stuff that would set any floor alight.So in answer to your question YES ElDORADO does exist not in some yank warehouse but in the collections of guys on here.Getting people to accept them and dance to them well thats another matter

Incidently Pete How rare is the Liberty Bell label Boot of this and was this the first boot of the track

Thanks to all had lots of offers on this one and now sorted at the price i wanted,went with the first shout to be fair Thanks for help again

Looking for a Ex cond copy of LONNIE LESTER--YOU CANT GO---NU-TUNE Cheque here waiting for £100 PM please if you got one for sale to re unite me with my old fave from Stafford Thanks ---Patto

Because it is a Northern Soul record,like hundreds that were played that are not very soulful but still were popular on the Northern scene.I own a mint Pye copy and always loved it, and there is still room for the odd nostalgia tracks like this to get played,usually the punters love to hear them

Thanks too all who sent Pms. Managed to get a copy for the price i wanted,it should arrive next week,there seems to be plenty of copies out there

After an EX copy of The Presentations---Call on me Willing to pay £50. Pm please if got one for sale Thanks PATTO

Good choice,also the ARTUR WRIGHT ORCH---LAY THIS BURDEN DOWN

Last year when Ginger was playing his Rita & Tiaras inst there was also doing the rounds a FANTASTIC inst version of JESSE DAVIS---GONNA HANG ON IN THEE GIRL.Ginger played it at a stoke nighter and i danced to it thinking this is awesome, and better than the vocal.Never heard it played out since and think its maybe one of your tracks Ady. If so is it on line for a 45 release or has it been put out on a cd yet.

After a few soul nights and dayers my first actual nighters were circa 1982 at Stafford,and Roth Clifton Hall.First records in escape me now but remember fantastic accross the board variety 60s and 70s sounds nearly all new to me at the time

Very prized items back in the day.Remember seeing the older lads at the youth club all dancing with their long leather coats on cause they didn't dare take em off in case they got nicked

I couldn't get OTIS BLACKWELL'S---ITS ALL OVER out of my head for weeks,and just had to get a copy of it.Funny never really liked it back in the day

One of my alltime faves this Simon, simply have to dance to it.These uptempo type 70s ANTHEMS are just as much NORTHERN SOUL as the 60s oldies.Venues that played these 70s dancers mixed in with the oldies were places like Cleggy Winter Gardens,Rotherham Clifton Hall,Manchester Ritz,and many more 80s venues.For me the perfect formula to a great Northern Soul night is 5 classic oldies followed by a couple of underplayed lesser known oldies,then followed by 3 or 4 70s spins.You can't beat a good accross the board night with 60s 70s played together in the main room summat for everyone , different dance styles on show with no bias to any era.

Thats a nice gesture Simon your made of the right stuff . Me at the mo i feel like im in the mire, Skint,Car knackered,bit of illness,and having to work on Christmass Day.But in reality i am well off,got my family all round me and a roof over my head,and things looking up for new year.Lots more Soulies worse off than me give Simon a call,if hes as mad in real life as he is on Soul Source then sure he will lift you up a bit.To all the pissed off soulies remember the iconic words of Nolan Porter YOU GOT TO KEEP ON KEEPING ON NO MATTER HOW ROUGH IT GETS Merry Christmas and a Soulful new year to all

The Combinations "What'cha Gonna Do".This is available on a Goldmine CD GSCD 110 FOR MILLIONAIRES ONLY VOL 3

I was chasing this record around about a year ago,and it is surprisingly tricky to pin down.The ELF ones i saw in sales boxes were around £75 and the PAMA ones were fetching £30-50.Most of the PAMA ones i saw had the middles dinked they look so much nicer intact.Also i'm not sure but once got told the Pama copies were crisper sound quality than the U.S ones.Good Luck finding one as Kev said Danger is the side
