  1. Amsterdam Russ's post in American soul artists w/ songs in different language was marked as the answer   
    A compilation called Motown Around the World was put out on CD in around 2010.

    There's a write-up and podcast about it here:
    https://www.npr.org/2010/05/28/127245081/mein-girl-motowns-hits-found-in-translation
    And there's a complete track listing - including sample sound files, here:

  2. Amsterdam Russ's post in Funeral Celebrant with experience of the soul scene. was marked as the answer   
    Please do excuse my ignorance, but what is a "Funeral Celebrant", how do you get a diploma in it, and what does a "Northern Soul themed celebration of life..." including "Sharing the wonderful experiences of the soul scene" involve?
    This is completely new to me, so I'm really curious. 
  3. Amsterdam Russ's post in Record shop tips in Amsterdam was marked as the answer   
    For such a small city, Amsterdam is stuffed with record shops - 27 at the last count!

    Of those, preferred choices would be: City Records, Record Mania, Redlight Records, Waxwell, and Zap.
     
  4. Amsterdam Russ's post in Spooky and Sue vs West Ham was marked as the answer   
    Likely because Negram had licensed All Platinum material. It says on the label, “Produced for Red Bullet Prod and All Platinum by A Goodman and J Eggermont.”

  5. Amsterdam Russ's post in Mobility scooters on dance floors? was marked as the answer   
    Inclusiveness is the order of the day, and any accidents would/should be covered by the venue's own insurance. 
    It's no different if the scenarios you describe were caused by an able-bodied person.
    I can imagine mobility scooters would be unpopular with some uncaring people, but refusing users of them access to an event or banning them from the dance floor would be discriminatory and likely illegal.

    The only ad I could find is the one below. The soundtrack is just a bit of stock music taken from a sound library or specially commissioned for the ad.

  8. Amsterdam Russ's post in Copied & posted from a post on facebook..... was marked as the answer   
    If that were me and I heard someone shout to the punters that a legitimate test press I was playing was a bootleg, I would have waited til the end of the record, and with the mic in one hand and the record held aloft with the other, and pointed out that person's mistake.
    Clarification made. Person made to look foolish. Job done.
  9. Amsterdam Russ's post in Romanceers - any info? was marked as the answer   
    I found the following in a 2005 thread on soulstrut.com that was about low budget record labels...
    The poster's name was "pickwick33" and early in the thread I've linked to they state:
    Reading through that thread, pickwick33 does appear to be an informed source.
