There's a recent test pressing  / acetate turned up of the Tempests.  Someday ,so does that count out the LP only track ?

Very true mate. I was not sure if that had counted  

[Greedy Mick 278]

What about The skullsnaps I'm your pimp. Was booted on 7" so album only and willie hutch lucky to be loved by you.  

[Woodbutcher 2,003]

"The Spinners - What more could a boy ask for" off the "From the vaults" LP.

Has such sweet memories for me personally as it was the tune that was playing as I walked through the doors of the Wirrina back in 1980 or so on my first ever all-niter experience ... 

[Soul Shrews 554]

Moniters "Share A Little Love"

Have had that album since it was released I didn't know that the spinners was never released.  Nice album to listen to all the way through on both sides.

Lucky...  is also a different version on the LP to the included versions on compilation CD' s

[Gazoor 15]

The Hesitations - That What Love Is;  Freddy Butler - You Better Get Hip Girl and That's When I Need You; The Metros - I'll Never Forget You - (superior version imho)  and I'm With You All The Way... a nice contingency there from the KAPP/RCA Pied Piper stable

I've never done anything other than an all LP set. I don't have any singles.....

[Benji 981]

@Johndelve "All LP set" doesn't mean that all tracks are LP-only.

 

Charlie Rich was unissued until a best-of comp in late 80s.

[Johndelve 108]

No, indeed, fair point.

From the same 1976' UK-only LP, 'Rare Masters 2' , The Ronettes' fine  'Here I Sit ' could/should have got some plays too

[Mal C 2,833]

Ok, how are we defining this?  if we say 'Northern' in the classical sense... Ooo Errr... then these brilliant 7ts tracks are out folks!!  so whats it to be...?    its all good though

I agree...the 3 I posted at the top of the post are 3 of the best you’ll get!...in a northern sense of course

I'd say just go with a relaxed flow and keep the 7ts etc

if really needed, then we could use northern = played at northern styled venue/event as a loose criteria

but I'd say/suggest only if needed...  perhaps?

Loads of Motown tracks.

Following was popular for a while on Beach scene.  Rather poppy but has a certain charm.

 

[Theothertosspot 277]

The “alternate” version of Velvellettes “These things etc” released on Motown.

This appeared on ebay a few years ago. 
A test press 45 of Someday, so does exist on 45 in this format.
Removed from sale - prob due big dosh being offered.
Has it ever surfaced anywhere ?

It’s an acetate. It never reached test press stage and certainly never saw release as a 45. Kitch has the acetate.

Chris Farlowe, Looking For You.      Lp, 14 Things To Think About.                         

                      

[Soul-slider 598]

This one from the Swingin' Medallions on Smash is a sure fire 'Northern Soul' tune, It's the first one on this youtube LP compilation and is called 'More Than Yesterday, A Little Bit Less Than Tomorrow' (MTYLTT)...
