Recently heard a record with what sounded like ' YOU GET MY LOVE ' as the chorus line. It's a gritty female uptempo vocal with a slight R n B twist. Any suggestios appreciated as i would like to obtain a copy. Thanks in advance, Sue. OZ,

Got a version here by Jerry Butler on a P.I.R. demo, ref number ZS8 368 from 1978, 3 mins. 40 seconds long. Brilliant !! Tony. OZ.

G'Day Paul, Yep mate " RIGHT ON " the Wirrina was the place that gave me my first taste of Northern Soul and got me hooked on this wonderful / friendly scene we have today. I remember my first jaunt to the Wirrina like it was yesterday. Martin Allpress from Walton, a lad i worked with suggested i come along one Tuesday night to see what all the fuss was about. So i turned up dressed in my 2 piece green suit bought from Prince Albert, brutus shirt and a white tie with the BIGGEST bloody knot, oh and white and brown stack soled shoes. Walked in and thought ' Shit ' what the fook am i doing here dressed like a right twat, seeing everyone in baggies, capped teeshirts and doing some brilliant dancing. Martin just looked across at me and i could tell what he was thinking !!!!!!!!!!! I had a chat with him just a couple of weeks ago and we had a laugh about that very same night cos it's burned into both our memories. Anyway that was it for me, TOTALLY HOOKED. Went home stuffed the suit in the dustbin then went to Derby indoor market on the Saturday and bougtht my first pair of baggies and a couple of bowling shirts. Only thing to do then was learn the dance. Had some fantastic nights at the Wirrina, loved it when it was in the gymnasium. From there went on to places like Wigan, Cleethorpes, Kettering, St. Ives, Notts Palais etc. Like you say mate the Wirrina deserves it's rightful place in the history of Northern Soul. It was groundbreaking at the time and who would have thought little ole' Peterborough would stamp it's mark as it did. We as Boro boy's alway's tended to think outside the square and Stanground in particular had it's fair share of Soulies and record collectors. Spenna probably had the best record collection in the U.K. at one stage. Oh forgot to mention the Cresset soul nights of later years when you and Spenna deejayed. Great venue and there should be more happening there today. As you know mate i now live in Australia, keeping the flame burning with my own monthly soul night that has been going for over 6 years. Still love to come back to old blighty to catch up with ' me mates '. Stay soulful Paul. Will see you in September for my usual cup of coffee and a natter at your Whittlesey gaff. Till then A.T.B.

Not to say too much at this stage of the auction, but there is a wonderful story behind the discovery of this very rare record. Hopefully all will be revealed to the world once it is sold. The stuff of fairy tales believe me. This is probably the most important find of a mint example 45 that has eluded us all for over 40 years. Even now, and it's only speculation, there has only ever been 1 other copy seen and no-one knows where that is. So this find carries so much mystique and there is no doubt whoever wins the record in John Manships auction will have a verey rare collectable piece of vinyl indeed, that can only increase in value. It surely rates as rarer than Don Gardner, Damon Fox or even the Frank Wilson. Who's gonna be the first person to pop it on the decks for us to hear ?? Not me but ?? Tony T Bone. OZ.

Still looking for a very nice copy of this reggae number if anyone can please assist. Prefer one in at least EX ++ condition. Please pm with a price. Thanks in advance, Tony. OZ.

Yep i saw that one Moldie thanks mate but would rather purchase for someone on soul source if they have a spare for sale. Sue.

First played here at the FLY by Susie Q about 5 months ago !! Sorry mate she beat you to it lol. Tone X

Please let me know the total. Can i pay via paypal as a gift ? I will be in the U.K. from next Friday ( Peterborough ) for 4 day's.

Hi Guy's, Would anyone be able to help with this reggae number. At least excellent condition please and on the Trojan label. P.M. me with a price. Thanks in advance, Sue. OZ.

Was this cracker ever on a 45 or album only ? Just gotta have it. Any info appreciated. Tony.

Hi guy's, would anyone have nice copy of this Chiffons 45 ?? Prefer at least EX condition if possible please. P.M. me with a price and condition of vinyl and labels. Thanks in advance. Sue. OZ.

That's great Mark and i know Andy has had heaps of emails from Sid while all this has been going on. Any ideas on who will produce the eventual single ?

Yep Mark this was from a backing track laid down by my mate Andy Cox here in Perth, actually cut in about 1998 in a small studio in Applecross. It will hopefully be the B side to the other recent track titled Chains ' around my heart '. I have an acetate of Chains that went down a storm at our recent soul night. If you go into my original thread on all about the soul you will find the sound track in there, it's about 2 months ago. Tony. Perth, W.A.

Hi Guy's, Am looking for an original in at least mint minus condition of this double sider. Please pm me with label, condition and price to OZ. Thanks in advance, Sue. OZ.

Hi Guy's, hopefully someone can assist me with a copy of this please. Would prefer one in at least mint minus if poss. Please pm me with a price to OZ. Ta in advance, Sue. OZ.

Thankfully only had one album come through with a bad crease through it. Bad packaging, not the posties fault. Nothing as near as bad as my mate here who's Don Gardner arrived in several pieces oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Both must be in at least mint minus condition although might accept very nice ex ++. Please pm me with condition and price shipped to OZ. Thanks in advance Sue. OZ.

Sad news indeed John. Can't see the logic behind their thinking. Sue and i had a great time last year and it looked like the holiday camp made a small fortune, after all who else will be there out of season ?? Oh well mate onward and upward as they say. Good luck finding a new venue. Hope to see you in the U.K. in September. Tony and Sue. OZ.

Kev, with that amount mate you should find yourself a venue, get a couple of decks and play the damn things. You would pack em in mate. There is still a market for the odd disco night ANYWHERE. O.K. it's handbagger stuff but if you enjioy it and make a quid WHO CARES. We had one here a while ago...750 tickets sold in 2 weeks. What does that tell you ? You alway's have yer northern to fall back on. I await the inevitable deluge with bated breath !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do i press reply ???????

Hi guy's, am looking for a copy of this in excellent or mint minus condition, preferably on the Stateside label please.. It's not expensive and there should be plenty out there. If you have one please pm me with condition and price shipped to OZ. Thanks in advance, Sue.
