Northern Soul Uk

Oh he'll be along shortly, don't worry. He senses his name's been mentioned :-) Oh and when he does, ask him about the time he was driving to Cleethorpes and he felt an almighty sneeze coming on??? I won't say anything else, I'll leave it up to Ian to fill in the details :-)

I used to get all the Italian releases of this ilk sent from the record companies when I was a House DJ. Got some brilliant stuff, but not this one unfortunately. It wouldn't at all suprise me that Ian Dewhirst may have a copy??

Hi Mik, a mailer is a proper mailing envelope, it's usually better to use these as they are more secure and less tempting to some dodgy post workers https://www.ebay.co.u...=item43a061c138 There are different sizes for 45s and 12".

That's nice, not seen one before on Jamaican release. Not sure of the price though as it's a bit of an unknown entity. At a guestimate, depending on the condition from say £45 (G) to £130 (Mint). Like I say, just a guestimate though. I take it that the side you have uploaded is the 'B' side as on the UK presses? If it is, what is the 'A' on your copy? be interested to know??

LOL! No Problem :-)

Just this minute posted an LP to the States (from UK) and the price was £7.88 in a mailer with card inserts, sent as 'small packet'. Hope this helps! SL

NP!

Who's Mr Pat??

Just for the record 'Pardon the pun' there was no such group as 'Black Box'. When 'Ride on time' was released on the UK market, the record company got a few peeps together so that they could appear on TOTP. Obviously the record was simply a sample of Loleatta Holloway's' 'Love sensation' with a backing track, and was put together by Italian DJ/Producer 'Daniele Davoli', and the face of the band that was manifested for the record was the French model 'Katrin Quinol' who lip synched the vocals. Recordings by the 'band'? were usually released on 'Groove Groove Melody' in Italy and then were put onto the 'Deconstruction' label for release in the UK. In my opinion (for what it's worth) I think the remake of 'EWF' 'Fantasy' was one of their better ones.

Yeah sorry Pete, on second reading I realised it was. My apologies :-)

I'll play it anyway Dave see what reaction it gets, I'll let you know! And on second thought, it sounds better without the vocal :-)

Heheh!! amazing what a bit of detective work can achieve! Psyche I believe the genre is!

Quote from clip "Remember this been played by Richard Sirling at the Casino around 1977 - covered up as "Don,t Say A Word"

Yeaaaaaa! I've found a full version on Youtube, not to bad actually> Worth what I paid anyway. Would def' sound better with a vocal over it though!

Yeah actually that's true, they have that feel. Has anyone else heard the full version?

Thanks for the thread link Godzilla, but still doesn't give any tips on what it is, was, or whatever :-) Thing is I have only heard the first 20 seconds of the track, I hope it doesn't break down into a C&W hoedown, line dance monster after that LOL! There are no clips of it anywhere!

Sounds similar I must admit, but not convinced that it is the same, also they are written by different writers, if that is anything to go by? it's the horns at the end of the clip that ring a bell with me.

Is that what it is? I haven't knowingly heard that, and this sound so familiar to me. Has anyone reviewed this before on here?

Not sure if this has been on here before, But I have just purchased a 45 purely because it sounds so familiar. I only have a tiny sample of the record, about the first 20 seconds or so, and I am sure I have heard it before but can't think where and what it is? Something in the back of my mind it telling me that is is the instrumental of some Northern vocal track? Has anyone any idea or am I going mental in my old age? https://www.theleedsgallery.com/tunes/times gone by.mp3

I think it's all down the buyer/seller. If someone gets a 45 cheap and knows it's worth a lot more than they paid, then obviously they will try to sell if for what it is really worth, isn't that the game? I have had a few bargains over the past year or so, for instance a 'Patti and the Emblems US Orig' Demo, that I paid nearly nothing for and sold for what it was worth and the buyer was very happy. Anyone that doesn't do that must be 'Off their Rocker' surely?? I know it's not all about money, but it's a rare occurrence that you acquire a 45 for much less than it's worth, and in these days of 'trying to make ends meet' it's just something that you have to do. Just my two penneth!! :-)

S'easy. You need to upload it to an 'image hosting' site, there are many but the most popular is https://photobucket.com/ Just sign up, it's free. Then upload your photo. When you have uploaded it, there will be a link (URL) for the photo you want to use. Copy that (ctrl+c) and when you come on here to put it on, there is a little icon on the tool bar that looks like a little TV screen, Click on that and paste the link (ctrl+v) into the box, click 'OK' and bingo. Hope that helps.

Never seen one on an import only UK, Always wondered if it got a release internationally, now I know. Love to see one though, anyone got a scan?

Tee Hee!!

Thank you Pete, I have had the Demo of Solomon King and it was definitely 'Say A Prayer' on the 'A'. https://www.45cat.com/record/db8676 A little surprised that there isn't demand for the 'Little Queenie', still a floor filler even now in oldies clubs, but I do see your point, I have seen normal UK copies go for pennies. Sometimes though, and I'm sure you will agree, it's not only the record, but the look of the label that urges you to buy it, as was the case with this.

Would you consider the 'Bill Black' demo a bargain? Just not seen another and liked the look of it.
