Northern Soul Uk

Hi Y'awll Just bought a copy of Denise LaSalle - A love reputation on 'Tarpon' for about £22, so not too badly priced. What I was wondering is that I believe that there are 2 label colours, A Turquoise green and a dark blue as far as I can make out. Are they both the same release but different colour labels, or is one a re-press? Thank you A wee remix

yeah absolutely true, thank you

Does anyone have the contact details for 'Manifesto' magazine please?

Ah well, there's no 'Soul Renaissance' either

OOPS sorry, now I see where I've gone wrong DOH!!!!

Just checked the members list on 'SS' and there is no MARTYN BRADLEY listed?

Thank you very much for that I will see if I can find him on here. Also can you let me know what area/s of the UK the mag gets out to, is it concentrated on one area? Thanks for your help again Steve

dark Horse, Do you have any contact info for the 'SOUL RENNAISANCE' mag please? I have already got an ad in Soul up North' BTW. Thanks matey. Steve

Thanks you but just followed that link and registered, added my event and it's not showing on the calender? Strange, also when you press the 'contact' radio button, nothing happens so can't get in touch. Looks like the only way is to get a physical mag and see if there are any contact details in there. Thanks for that and for you help anyway Steve

Do you know rates in 'Echoes' please? has it got an online thingy?

Just stick with the classics, never fails.

Hi folks and folkesses. I am looking at advertising my events in a national magazine. I would like your opinion on which would be the best to go for? keeping in mind circulation, popularity and advertising costs. I know a few years ago it was an easy choice between 'Blues and Soul' and 'Black Echoes' but both of these have disappeared. Any suggestions greatly appreciated Thank you Steve XX

So a mint Demo must be worth about £40 do you reckon?

My best finds are in the last 2 years anyway, Pookie hudson - This get's to me - White and Gold 'Jamie - £8The Apollas - Mr Creator - Warner brothers Promo - £25Walter Jackson - Uphill struggle to the bottom - US 'Okeh' - £3.50Isley Brothers - That's the way love is - US Tamla Demo - £9Dion Jackson - Love makes the world go round - US 'Carla' first press - £3.50 Some nice bits this year, Ii think prices have droppd a lot in the last few years.

beleive me, and i done this a thousand times when I had record shops, and it's worked. WARM water in a bowl, not hot, 2 drops of washing up liquid and stir with you finger, don't let it bubble. Rub the record with a soft cloth after dabbing the cloth in the liquid, you can be quite aggressive it won't harm, then run the record under a cold water tap making sure not to get the label wet. Then dry with a dry cloth or kitchen towel. If it doesn't work, do it again, and if no joy then, go to the chemist shop and ask for some 'isopropenol', tell them what you want it for or they might not sell it to you. The get a soft clean cloth and wipe the record with it, the Isopropanol evaporates very quickly, so no need to dry the record. As I say these methods have worked for me thousands of times Hope this helps Steve X

Thanks for the comments Sean, Not really bothered about the price tbh, I used to have the track on UK and sold it with the rest of my tunes in the 80,(FOOL), managed to get most of them back now and a few besides, and this was one that I was missing and I've been waiting for a promo copy to come along in decent condition, so i'm well pleased. Oh! and you're 100% right about the feel of this track, it def' makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention :-)

Yeah know what you mean, but you wouldn't get it for that these days, beleive me, i've tried. Then again, you could get the original 'Frankie Beverly - If that's what you wanted' for a tenner in the 70s LOL

I think for that much money, I'd want it to be in decent nick, sounds to be quite a bit of surface noise at the biggining. Nice tune though.

Hi Peeps Just received this from the States, got it off the bay for approx' £23 inc' postage. It's in virtually mint condition apart from the few marks on the label. Just wondered what you thought about the price etc.? Thanks fellas and ladies

USED TO LOVE WATCHING MARTYN AT THE 'TORCH', AMAZING ENERGY AND THE ONLY BLOKE I KNEW THAT COULD CHEW POLO'S. :-)

Hi fellas I'm trying to find out more about the Jackie Wilson track 'My heart is calling' I have looked all over and can't find any info. Was it a major release, was it a B side? What label, was it on Brunswick? Any help would be appreciated Thank you.

Hi Ian It says on the album that the title is 'To care', is that wrong then? Why would they put a wrong title on an album??

Can anyone enlighten me as to whether 'Chris Clark - Sweet loving' got released on a single or is it just an album track. Thanks
