Northern Soul Uk

I had a similar experience albeit not with records. I sold a perfectly good working printer to someone in Scotland. The printer was perfect and had been using it before listing it. Reason for selling was an upgrade. I packaged the printer up in it's original box with lots of bubble wrap and polystyrene quavers, wrapped it up well and posted it by courier. 4 WEEKS later I recieve an ebay message "printer doesn't work, bringing up an error'. I replied, 'send it back I will will refund you although I said the printer was working perfectly when it was despatched'. I got the printer back a week later only to find that it was a different printer and all the workings inside were loose. I wrote back saying that the printer was not the same, but I will refund you anyway, which I did just to avoid neg feedback. A MONTH later I noticed a neg feedback on my profile and he had opened a case saying that I said the printer was a different one to what he had recieved. I wrote to eBay saying I had refunded him immediately and I opened a 'revise feedback' case, I heard nothing. So now because of some C**T I have a neg feedback on my otherwise 2300 clean record and after being on ebay for 10 years. Not fair at all, but ebay will not do anything to help sellers, it's all about buyers. Buyers ebay name is gmg_logos, BEWARE and add to you ebay block list.

One of the conditions that were discussed with Brian when he asked to do the the 'Leeds Central', was that he was as inconspicuous as possible, as I was slightly concerned that the crowd may get a little spooked if he stood and photographed them in full view. I swear, apart from greeting Brian on his arrival, I never saw him again until the end of the night. I think he must have put on his invisible cloak, yet the end result was outstanding and he had obviously got right in there and captured some stunning images. Again I can wholly recommend Brian for any event near you, and look forward to the finished product.

Well, you never know, stranger things have happened in the past. Patti & The Emblems orig' Demo £24, Pookie Hudson Original on gold and white 'Jamie' £19 for instance?? both previously found.

EARTH QUAKE? :lol:

Hi soul peeps. Considering buying one of the following. can anyone let me know if there are real demos or Bootlegs? Thank you

What happened inbetween then

Steve, from what has been said above about the 'C', I think that the one Image I posted from the video may be an original.

He does look Italian definitely, there are and were a lot of Italian Americans, so could easily be. Did the album have this cut on?

yeah but if it wasn't for similar records this fast, would the Northern Soul scene have been formed? as most of the Torch, Casino tunes were similar speed. Maybe that's a question for another thread eh?

The original has 'c' in Brackets Bootleg has 'C' in a circle UK Repress on 'Fabulous' records 2002 That's what it looks like they are saying. This looks like an orig from a video on Youtube.

It does sound like old Kev to be honest, good mind to contact him and see if he'll own up

This is one of the ones I just bought for £11, so if the price of this listing is correct (which I doubt), another bargain goes into the box. Can I say it's really good to hear different peoples opinions about certain records, there is a massive difference in tastes across the scene, which in my eyes is very healthy. Always being a lover of many 'Blue eyed Soul' records, including the brilliant 'Mickey Moonshine', I think it was fate that I heard this and liked it and bought it immediately. I have now listened to it about 10 times, and that's before I have even recieved the record through the post, and I really can't see what is not to like about it? Doesn't bother me if a certain collector with rich parents made it, or someone in the 60s in a USA studio, it's the sound and what it instills in the listener that matters most, and to me, I think it great. Quite simply put, it's what Northern Soul is all about, Energy, Strings, danceable, decent vocals. OK Not the best in the world, granted, but certainly not the worst when you throw into the mix 'Joe 90' and the like

Well as I said in my second post, 'Strokes for folks', I really like it to be honest, decent voice and good dancer, and definately better than some I've heard.

Really sorry to hear this. Didn't go to Manifesto much but had the pleasure of meeting Pete on one occasion that I did. Very sad news and deepest symapathy to his nearest and dearest.

Reason I asked in the first place is that a test press of the re-press went on the bay tonight for £28 with 17 bids. On the other thread it says one went for £88, and that one of the originals went for £1000? Just wanted to know the history of it. Must admit though on instinct I just bought a 2002 repress for £11. So not too much to lose if I soon get sick of it :-). Thanks for your replies Steve

Thanks Chalky, strokes and folks I suppose. Also just seen a previous thread about it. Thanks again.

Well! you live and learn! I thought I had heard all the 100mph stompers, but one always jumps out at you when you are least expecting it. So! What's the story on 'Joey Delorenzo - Wake up to the sunshine girl'? Just heard it for the first time and I'm blown away. Is it blue eyed Soul, or a black artist? Where did it come from? Apart from the 2002 UK release, was it released previously? Album track? 7"?. I need to know all about this tune. Any help appreciated please. Steve X
