Bootlegged due to its popularity on the rare stamps album which reminds me when i first got a copy of rare stamps from Woolworths back in 72 when me & Kev Fox where told by Howard from Manchester that Sweet Sherry off the album was being spun at the Highland Room and there where a dozen copies in the woolies sale @ 6pence each 2n half new pence in todays dosh

Had em both god wish i had the Del Larks back :(

First issued legally on 45 on UK Contempo due to its popularity on the Rare Stamps album which in my opinion is one of the great soul albums Sweet Sherry on Contempo is the original 45 dont no anyone who as seen a usa copy if it exists in any format..

Find somewhere else and tell them to fu-k off its the same over here in the uk some venue owners are total dimwits your well shut of them .

What about those who live amongst us the beings from other worlds who try and blend in with human kind ive seen many of them at venues over the years they stand out like sore thumbs saw one at Burnley niter few months back he was stood around observing everything that was going on then got onto the floor to have a go wow man his dancing was straight from another world

There all off there yeds Phil its about having a good time having a laugh listening to some great music meeting up with your mates and making new friends its not a hobby but a way of life, but for Soul Music i would never have met so many wonderful people and become friends with so many had so many great times. Never in a million years when i was starting out on my lifetime of love for Soul music back in the mid 60,s would i ever have imaged that i would get to meet so many of those great artist singing the tunes i was buying 1970 getting Real Humdinger J.J Barnes wow then years later getting to meet the man himself and chatting away with him Edwin Starr a superstar and all round awesome human being everytime i saw Edwin he took time out to chat and once said laughing that i knew more about Detroitsoul than him to another famous artist. Never forget stood with Gilly at the Prestatyn Weekender listening to Billy Prince and the rest of the guys from the Precisions Thursday lunch on there first visit to the weekender the shivers that went through us has they sang at the end we had tears in our eyes or when Sam Hutchins put his arm around me when i showed him my LaBeat copy of How and he started to sing it to me man o man you cant buy moments like that. Pat Lewis, Sidney Barnes, Ronnie McNeir Eula Cooper, James Bell , Doni Burdick, Ritchie Pitts Eddie Holman, Jerry Williams Tommy Hunt, Hesitations, Mary Love,Dean Courtney the wonderful James Bell Syl Johnson, Jesse James Nolan Porter, Melvin Davis Major Lance Benny Troy and many many more all these wonderful people who have give so much pleasure to so many with their awesome recordings over the years i have met and spent time talking laughing and listening to thats what its about Soul Music has and still does give me a great feeling .. If i go to a so called upfront soul nite or a what some call a oldies nite i go to enjoy myself and get away for a few hours from reality people go out to enjoy themselves so its up to the individual where they go over the years ive been to some dire upfront nites and some dire oldies and modern nites but at the end of the nite ive nearly always had a laugh on the other hand ive been over the years to some truly awesome nites Torch, Highland Room Stafford, Wigan Cas Wilton Middleton Lowton Civic USOS Burnley Niter Capital Soul Club HipCity Berlin the brilliant Prestatyn Weekenders and many many more including the recent Grumpy Soul in Runcorn its about choice get the right dj,s who can get the floor moving and hey presto its not rocket science.... Cant wait for the next instalment of Northern Soul a crackpots guide to having a good time LOVE , PEACE & HAPPINESS Ian Cunliffe :rofl:

Cross dresser was that Rob the Stick ,hes on facebook top man / woman..
