Guest sharmo 1 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 You mean apart from the singer? That is a released track ironically on the B side of a Stardust release , it's the B side to Gary Knight's night people and it's Belle Benchly (sic) or someone like that an identical original acetate was in my attic until a few days ago . It's on a regent sound studios acetate and the titles My Boy . Al Gallico music publishing out of new York not Detroit. This came in a batch of acetates I bought about 30 years ago. There was some real goodies in there plus one or two North American Indian chanting that were live recordings taken during shamanic trances ( right up my ally ) which were strangely better sounding than the my boy track.

Damian Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Well I had my very own 'comedy sale of the day' today when I received a bunch of filler cheapies I had bought from a US seller (who took 13 days *just to post the package*) and found that, not only had he left one of the records out of the package, but also... a few of them advertised as NM and VG+ looked like this: (yes, I actually bought that record - I like the flip and my copy was worn out.. so much for thinking I was getting a better one!)

Guest Byrney Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Amazingly, Northern Soul carried on when others making comments stopped going Here's the acid test, you hear people speak of Stafford TOTW as a soul venue, it's in relation to the unique attitude back then but mainly the sounds that were 'Stafford records' ; like there were Wigan records, Mecca records, 100 Club records, Lifeline records etc.How many of the 100s of records thought of as Stafford tunes are from these 'legendary' Monday nights? Compare that number to the Top Dog Nighters turnover.TOTW is in the soul history books for the Top Dog allnighters, nothing else. I know some who were not really involved then don't like that, but I'm afraid that's how it is. Those comments at the end of the article are unfair though. Amazingly, Northern Soul existed before the people making those comments were even on the scene, and as Kev said, 1000 people on a Monday night is not to be scoffed at.
