Hi All,

I went to my last Allnighter (Wigan) in 1981 and stupidly sold my record collection. I`m now getting back into Northern Soul, buying what records I can afford and just wondered what 60s stormers I`ve missed in the past 32 years (or is it a mega list)?

Also I`d be interested to know if they`ve been reissued (if that still happens) - I know original vinyl rules but believe me my finances are such that I`m restricted to 70s boots or some original say £10ish sounds.

Thanks in advance and please be gentle with me!

its a buyers marketplace but what you're looking for is very much dependant on availability & price as even a lot of the boots of the 70's command decent prices. if your finances are limited you can turn to the legit releases that seem to be appearing every week on labels such as out-a-sight, the sound quality is very good. there are a host of great dealers who post on here, always offering good rates in the main and if you check out sales the turnover is mindboggling. i watch it like everybody else on here, like dangling rod & line in the water, waiting to catch a much wanted fish...you can wait for ages even for a cheapie, thats how frustrating it gets sometimes but it is worth it.

I reckon you'll find ebay UK just what you need.

My God you lucky beggar. You are in for a treat. Let the journey begin.

https://acerecords.co.uk/browse/singles?genre=48 will show you 90 ish currently available 45s. The Kent ones are Northern and modern / 70s soul and some early 60s R&B. Excuse the blatant plug. Ady

PS the Northern's a mixture of classics, recently discovered master tapes on vinyl for the first time anywhere and rareties available on a UK press for the first time.

also look in sales on here.....listen to you tube and refosoul .....if you have limited funds avoid buyin from the states.. post is a fiver upwards from there now and not worth it for buying cheap records from

Catching up on the records you've missed in that period is gonna be a massive but very pleasurable task I can tell you.

I started over 20 years ago with the intention of trying to hear as many new records as I could and I'm still hearing them all the time, its mind boggling how many there are.

Basically if you start now expect to be hearing new records till the day you depart this mortal coil

Its all out there, get tracking it down and have fun - you've got some fantastic stuff to discover

There's still some nice £10 or so originals to be had.Plenty of 60's stormers to catch up on.Let the obession begin.!!!

Theres a lot of quality to be had at cheap prices! But, its if you want those killer classics sometimes you've got to spend a bit to get them. I enjoy finding the cheapies that people over look.

Thanks for the info and advice guys - much appreciated. Are there any monster tunes I really should look out for, or are there too many to mention - if so I guess the Northern scene is in relatively good shape?

Thanks again.

That's for another thread i think.

You say that you are restricted to boots and £10ish originals.

In that case be prepared to pay more for the boots than originals!

For example, I just got £51.00 for a Marie Knight - TNWTTAG boot - frightening, the land of the bootleg these days.

The money only went toward buying a Charles Johnson back.

I'm wondering that to some people if buying the boots that you grew up with is like buying the car that was yer first motor or tracking yer first scooter down.?!?!

Wow - been on ebay for a few hours and see what you mean!

I think saving harder and buying £15 - £20 originals is the way to go then.

I`m still intrigued by what monster cover-ups I`ve missed though?

Thanks and regards,

try this for starters, oneof the best stormers from the last 20 year imho. not sure if its booted, the orig is $$$! but it is on c'ds

You could do a lot worse than listen to Geese and Dean, two guys with taste.

There are so many to list that are getting more recent plays, I suggest you go out with a pencil and notepad, and funnily enough many are fairly cheap. Lots of times i've run up to the decks expecting a meg-bucks tune to be told it's a tenner. Lots of stuff over-looked in the past now being reactivated or given it's day.

Come to Gloucester on Saturday and spend all night in the second room for a real taste of what has changed since Wigan.

Here's one of my current favourites.

60s stormers eh, go on youtube tap in the fabulous impacts "baby i want you" , top class record on the kent lable,then the original was found on the hog lable and turns out to be the moments who sang it.

forget frank wilson, this is the best unreleased mt ever, well at least a serious contender

Have a look at Sean hampsey's Top Tips for 2013 thread in Look at your Box. You'll find some new to your ears as well as some you may well remember, some reasobale priced some not. There's been similar threads in previous years to look back at if you find the thread interesting.

Enjoy Dean

Thanks all for your advice and input. Looks like the next 25 years of my life is mapped out...!
