If there's one sure thing on this site, it's how soon intelligent threads can be turned into farsical debates on what music meets acceptance for progression of today's "Northern" scene...... ....soooooo predictable and just a matter of time before all of the same old luddite arguements are rolled out for another groundhog day session....complete with the old chestnut, gay disco reference to any soul releases post 1969.... For what it's worth, IMO there's so much more opportunity in fresher music from the 70's onwards than the opposite direction...it stands to reason....

That's got to be the rarest release of the three...... I wouldn't mind hearing it either......don't think I've ever seen one.

....Steve, what can you mean ??

....it's been in the front of my playbox for yonks......wher've you all been ??

....and yet so true...........

Nice one Mark..... Stay Into My Life is a bit good isn't it.......

Sorry...didn't mean to hijack your thread...but all threads throw off some tangents....it's what happens, as I'm sure you know. I'm sure there's an earlier thread discussing the various releases of Purple Mundi, which you you should be able to find.....3 releases I believe...

Yep.....got any more stone soul tunes on your list....?

So you put Purple Mundi and Jimmy Bo Horne in your Carstairs league then Pete... your take on what constitutes poor soul tunes never ceases to amaze...

He must have a very good memory....

Are you sure.....? I always thought that Sherri was the first label.....smaller label and all that... Prefer "Gotta Have Love" myself....less frantic....

Here ya go............ MAJOR SYMPHONY - METAL HEART - PHILIPS -

Is this the same Ian Levine that said that he wouldn't DJ anymore....or words to that effect... Nice enough tune, but hardly worth making a big deal about, and definitely not compelling enough for dance floor interest...might just about scrape 3 stars in my iTunes ratings...

I recently got my Bernard DuPree 45 returned from a long, long loan (thanks Steve ), and just compared it to the Cletus Marland 45 on Terry. They sound exactly the same..........so does anyone know for certain whether the Terry 45 is actually by Cletus Marland....? Dave W....what's the deal ?

I have both copies, so to make sure I hadn't imagnied the red and white copy quality being better, I played them through again. I agree with you, Gareth that neither pressing is perfect, and there is definitely a lower audio quality on the multi-coloured copy when it hits higer/louder areas. After reading George's comments on the track widths I put my anorak on, found a ruler, and checked the master numbers in the lead out. Both copies I have are exactly the same at 25mm each, so there's another mystery. Maybe both red and white and multi-coloured label releases have inferior presses on some copies. Having said all this and getting beyond the technical imperfections, I also agree with Gareth that it's a perfect Northern record, and definitely worthy of a second time around spin...in moderation...

I've collected M-Pac for more years than I can remember, and I've never seen the Rainbows 45.....are you certain you saw one on eBay ? I've always thought it was an unreleased number.

Absolutely not.... The white and red label copy is a by far a much better recording....clear as a bell compared to the multi-coloured copy, which to my ears has definitely lost something in the re-press....

That's right Steve..He Moves Me, issued on her Red Hot album, 2006. I know what you mean, it's a great little track very like Almeta Latimore, but doesn't feel quite finished.

.....no, don't buy boots Mick... Did you...

I sent the seller a message...asking if the copy was an original..... Still waiting to hear....

Priceless.....absolutely brilliant....

Do you think oldies DJs get Repetitive Strain Injuries from playing the same records..... Quick....somebody call the Health & Safety Execeutive....this could be the answer.....

This just about takes the prize for the biggest cop out posting on the OVO debate. What sort of "credible" DJ complains that his box is too heavy....and what's worse I can believe some "promoters" go with it.... This scene plays original format....end of...

There were some great CDs last time around, so it'll be a shame to let a minority spoil it for the majority of us. I know who I didn't receive CDs from last time, so if they sign up this time they'll not be on my distribution list...
