Could some HiFi nut advise but given that 78's spin faster wouldn't the sound be of a higher quality than a 45. Given of course you have the correct stylus for playing 78's. Thus may be of assistance to you Davie in terms of playing them. https://www.historicmasters.org/78.htm This guy sells them https://www.tefteller.com/

Leaden Drummer but what a voice and the Hammond helps>

It's a thundering tune that I heard Vinnie McGuire of Freak street play at the old Sunday Soul sessions at Nice'n'Sleazy. It was a number 1 in Germany.Thanks for the clip but I do believe they're miming. My son asked me to DJ a night at the Student union with him and his pals. They got 200 in which was pretty good and one of the records that got them moving was Hip Teens. It's a good pop record. A couple of the other DJ's asked about it and they tracked copies down. The album's pretty good too with a good version of You've been gone too long and Coming Home Baby. It may or may not be Northern Soul but it's very danceable.

Simon I have a live version of that played by Kid Creole and The Coconuts on an old NME cassette.

I suppose Mariah Carey was some consolation.

It was always sort of there. Live bands were the thing and the singer would keep the chat going in between songs and do a bit of patter and introduce the next number. DJ's were brought in to support the bands and they'd talk over the records in between etc. They'd remind you who was on next week, give out other club news, plug the hot dogs (Check out Georgie Fame live at The Flamingo). When the bands went Heavy, DJ's took over and just kept on talking. It was always twin decks usually a pair of garrard sp 25's although some clubs had Thorens. In Jamaica DJ's spoke in between whilst their selector stuck a record on the sole deck. Meanwhile in Europe (and new York) DJ' just spun the records. They didn't mix. there was also a fashion for English DJ's at European discos. I had this theory when mobile discos came in there were always two guys. One who built the thing and was technically adept and he may even have bought the records and his flamboyant pal would spin them in between his cahts. And chat ups. His mate might take over for a bit. Maybe warm up the decks for him and maybe later on give him a break whilst he chases the bird. As commercial radio stations started up some DJ's thought they might get a start. It was moreapparent with Pub DJ's who would have cart machines or a cassette deck buiklt in with jingles. Time checks and last orders maybe but weather checks? This provoked a quiet rebellion amongst music fans who believed the music should speak for itself and were aware of the Euopean style of DJ'ing. They did not want compared to the Tony Blackburn clones. Northern Soul being a retro scene carried on the original chat tradition. I thought Goodfoot had never used mics till Colin Law said he'd used one in the early days. I then found out the Manageress at the Bedist waked into the gym hall and heard a whole load of swear words coming from the stage so mics were banned. When Colin and Lenny did the twelfth anniversary I brought a Mic in and It took me two hours to edit out the sweary bits before I could broadcast it on radiomagnetic.

Lenny Gamble?

I can't miss the opportunity of repeating a criticism by my wife at the Caledonia Soul Club when Jo was playing. "She's the first DJ who I can understand everything she says." She then complimented Jo's selection of records. She's heard me on the mic so that was me and everybody else put in their place. I was that flabbergasted I almost forgot to send her to the bar to get the round in. Speaking to me in public without being spoken to. What's the world coming to?

Thanks for that I went off on a Kid Creole binge there. Where's my zoot suit?

you are probably right about the original being on Barry 1012.

I think it's on Both but original is on Fania. re issue on Hectors and in October 2006 Torino

Kylie did a version of Give me lust a little more time.

I'd go with that. Years ago one of our local radio stations had a rock'n'roll show and the presenter mentioned something about not having heard Hank Ballard's version of the Twist. I phoned him up and was invited in the next week. I took along some other records that i thought he might be interested in and one was Have Mercy Baby by James Brown (B side to These Foolish things?) We'd quite a good session and as he was off the next week he recorded another show on the pretext of me coming back next week. The magic of radio. Great fun and he did admit that mot of listeners just wanted to hear the same old 40 R&R singles so i provided an excuse for a bit more variety to the play list. Sixty Minute man is another of my favourites. Howard stern used it as his theme to his radio shows.

Evey hoax e mail has the line "This is not a hoax". The intent behind this letter is rather more nasty in its attempt to persuade a committee to close a soul night.

I got the bus from Glasgow to London to catch their first appearances here. A later version of Love of course. I saw them at the Roundhouse and then Walthamstow College. I spoke to Arthur then and a good few years later when they played Glasgow for the first time when he was in his heavy rock phase. After reading reviews of some of his other tours i stayed clear for another few years but I was really glad to catch the Forever Changes Tour. A great gig from a great band. Our local commercial radio station invited fans to come on and discuss their favourite band. I wanted to do The Velvet Underground but somebody else got in before me so I did Love. Two hours before midnight on a Tuesday. As a Glaswegian of course I visited the pub beforehand and arrived with a carry out on the night the Radio Authority paid a surprise visit. I think they enjoyed the music. "Don't darken our doorstep again" were the parting words of the presenter and music controller.

Not having been tothe odeon recently I'm not sure this is the right one but they used to play Pete Rodriguez and I Like it Like that.

No everything he's selling is connected to Northern Soul Check this https://tinyurl.com/rzq6w Is this Northern soul https://tinyurl.com/ko7n3 Personally I prefer to wear Rayban aviators and a cartier watch when playing my soft cell.

The most valuable records sold within the last few years and registered on www.popsike.com include several copies of The Sex Pistols and God Save the Queen on A&M. The last copy sold in March went for £12,685 pounds. https://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4838165513 I think we are in Northern Soul price territory. Then again The Magnetics - 'Lady In Green' b/w 'Heart You're Made of Stone' - Bonnie is the Northern record that has registered on Popsike's monitoring of auction sites by fetching $8101 in 2005. https://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4796664144

Radiomagnetic is now an On Demand internet station. Hi I thought I'd stick another two hours of soulful music onto www.radiomagnetic.com You'll find the playlist and a direct link to Reflections on Northern Soul here https://www.radiomagnetic.com/shows/index.php?id=136 There's a selection of pairs of tracks from labels such as Motown, Chess, Shrine, Stax and Philles. This show could also be called soul from the cities as these labels are strongly associated with Detroit, Chicago, Washington, Memphis and Los Angeles. There's music from all over the USA: southern soul, Latin Bugalu, Gritty R&B and of course lots of Northern stuff too. Thirty Nine records and some. Reflections, twice the soul. Half the calories. Felonious

i must prefer Black Bin Bags. I wonder if Patrice Rushen got much money out of it. Chris Montez Call Me The A&M years is out in a fortnight. if he can't wait he's paying for a japanese import.

I heard Christie's auctioned off her collection. A big record fan she received every EMI record before it was issued to the shops. Think of those red and White TMG 500 series demos. Anyone got a contact for Linley to see if he kept any?

Think Radio Luxembourg. Wolfman Jack was just one of a number of US DJ's who broadcast from a "Border Blaster" station sited in Mexico. They could use more power than US stations therefore achieved greater coverage. They targetted their advertising and musical taste on the US border states thus they must have had a library of sixties R&B. Whether those libraries still exist is another matter. CKLW in Windsor, Toronto played a lot more Motown than it's nearby Detroit based rival WKNR. I don't know who got their library.

Record Collector did a report on LWT/ Redifusion or some London ITV sell off. I missed the Clyde singles sale but got a few good albums. I knew a few people who got some excellent seventies albums when Forth sold theirs. BBC Scotland let some Charities have access but a lot turned up at high prices with a well placed dealer. And some "researcher" allowed access to several libraries including the BBC stole the singles and was caught and let go in Norway or some other european country. He was a regular dealer on e bay.

I've posted a two hour Motown Special on radiomagnetic.com. It's all rare tracks, some issued in the sixties and others from recent compilations. It's mostly great music with a couple of examples of where Motown's legendary Quality Control was out to lunch. They're nearly all sixties tracks with a mix of the classic Motown sound, its early R&B roots and its pop leanings. You can find the play list and a link to the show here https://www.radiomagnetic.com/shows/index.php?id=129
