    I think that sounds reasonable. The vinyl on the non-Archer stamp copy I have is different/better/"smoother" than the uneven Archer copy I have. I'd still like a Demo or Archer stamped one but I'm happy this isn't one done especially to meet demand on the UK scene. I think the uneven Archer one WAS done for the NS scene I think it may be a similar situation with other records that were re-pressed at the time - 2 Bob Relf's, 4 (?) Tommy Neal's, 3 (?) Majestics etc. Just my thoughts - but I still want a Demo or Archer stamp one PLEASE(anybody???)

    I think it's fantastic and would love to buy one with the correct "ARCHER" stamp, Demo or Issue. As mentioned above, perhaps out of step with current tastes. I got this from eBay a number of years ago. The sellers owned a second hand shop in USA selling household bric-a-brac and wouldn't post to the UK. So, Bob A (boba on here R.I.P.) bought it for me and posted it over here. No stamp but all the same markings as the copy just sold.

    For those of you who attended our first event at Bilston, here we go for Round 2. If you’re planning your nights out in March, give this a try. It will certainly freshen up your diary as a break from the usual treadmill of events. As they say “if you always do what you’ve done, you’ll always get what you’ve got”. In some cases that can be good but sometimes, just sometimes, it can feel like “Groundhog Day”!! This is a TOP QUALITY venue, genuinely outstanding. It’s clean and friendly with a cracking Built-In sound system. There’s loads of convenient parking in and around the venue. As you approach, you get that tingle as the muffled sounds start to come into focus. Through the doors, up the stairs and the night starts. The sounds you’ll hear will cover a wide range of styles and era’s. You will be certain to hear some much loved favorites, you'll be reminded of forgotten gems and no doubt add to that list as the DJ’s selected produce a little bit of MAGIC! Hope to see you there.

    Doris Troy is one of my favorite songs. I wasn't aware of the Dee Dee Sharp version so thanks @The Yank and @Simon T. Was the Dee Dee version ever issued on vinyl - either at the time or subsequently? Thanks

    Hi, Here's a thread about Dave's sad death in 2021.

    Once you've completed the training are you allowed to have letters after your name. This would let everybody know your status. Perhaps... "Trained With Accredited Tutor"

    Here's a thread from 2011 which gives details, background and values at the time. Worth reading...

    I don't think the UK copies "jump" as such. I think it's just something to do with the recording. It's as if the sound for the UK copy was taken from a USA copy that DID jump. So, the actual vinyl on UK copies is fine, it's just the recording. Hope that makes sense!! Take a listen (and look) at 1min 45 seconds on this JM youtube clip. You can hear it BUT I can't see the needle jump. I picked up a USA copy on ebay from a seller in Sweden for a very good price in 2020. I think it was listed in the wrong category.

    Nation Records has an Eagle. Tommy B features again with Boxer. Not sure if the little fella on Monster Masters counts!

    There was a thread in 2015 which I chipped in on (see below). My old NAD 3020e from 1987 is STILL going strong. It has a Mono button. There are some on eBay, here's an example (I have no connection to the seller, it's just for info) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115980070796?hash=item1b00f36f8c:g:jfEAAOSwLNNlUfUs&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4NHjddEkRXZ79kv7%2F%2FALC572%2BYgaZL2pYKV3uMR1G5u7VTAriLimgNwCZIXI7A8B34ZV4qc28M%2BAz%2F6IK5abfyp5RKGjzbPjUxTcVdvujwVRATC06Fx60aPrBQDkMXTck2eEsHKzXUnXMAakJKdm1qqrQHbuFJd%2BFKeL6dHJ2xKpcV8pbZ3qCMX2U%2B%2Fu8ky1OveVVs9oVUcyCH5YXl7MDG2O5E8NjoQsr200%2Fnua8E6MJ1ne3G%2BoQSEEIiGGfEMvcFRmM0sLZCvJHySNffjwpQdysu%2BQTDVcXqlG%2F3lJnnT7|tkp%3ABk9SR8bljon_Yg Cheers, KB

    In fairness, the guy can sing - it's just that he's more Pat Boone than Ray Pollard. So that's not good! The lyrics are a collection of generic cliché's that have been cobbled together. So, that's not good either!! I did wonder if an instrumental would be any better. However, no, it wouldn't!!! From an environmental point of view, I agree with Mr. Woodbutcher hoping that not too much plastic has been wasted used. On the plus side, they have generated some attention for the product (is all publicity good publicity?). Next move, perhaps get some World Championship standard Northern Soul dancers to feature in a video.

    Steve Jeffries was selling one on his Rare Northern Soul site/listings. This was in the last week. Nor sure if it sold. He was asking £2,500. Good luck with the search.

    "You Can Split" is a particular favorite of mine. Youngblood Smith also recorded as Quick Brown Fox. His real name appears to be Richie Bellina. There was a previous thread about his identity in 2014.. When I saw @Roger Banks was selling the QBF record today, I started having a mooch on the internet/youtube. Anyway, on youtube you can find video of "Manny and the YUNKsters". A guy called "Richie Bellina" was the singer. As referenced in the previous thread, the "Youngblood Smith" Richie was from ManaYUNK in Philly PA.. So, it doesn't seem too far fetched to think they are the same guy. So, is this video from 1990 our man "Youngblood Smith"?? He appears at 33 seconds in. Any thoughts?
