First original (soul) record was Rodger Collins-she's looking good.

Plenty of non originals before that but it was the early 80s-we didn't have cds then you know

My first ever Soul Record was 'Moody Woman' by Jerry Butler on uk Mercury way back in 1970 aged 11yrs.

Sorry sweet-cakes.....LOL

I know how ya just dig the english material

One Wonderful Moment - shakers - abc

this was one of the first, can't remember if actually the first ;-)

First original I think - Rex Garvin - Sock it to 'em jb on Like off Dave Withers stall when still at school poss 1984/85.

First northern soul record Keepin The Faith LP a year or so before that possibly - I think i'll have to credit Barnsey for getting me into Northern at school.

Cheers

Magnificent Men, Forever together. Actually thought it was gonna be something else

Here I go Again - Archie Bell & The Drells. Loved it when I bought it, still love it today!

Nathan Jones - The Supremes [uK Tamla Motown ] Best ,Eddie

Flaming Ember, Westbound No 9 or reissue of Isley Bros This old heart of mine, I cant remember which came first,

Can't do the clip thing, but my first buy for sure was the Velvelettes "These things will keep me loving you" - 1968, from Ralphs Records in Manchester. Still an awesome sound, in my humble opinion.

Get Ready, the Temptations around 1970.

Jeanette Harper - Put Me In Your Pocket ......... green label, boot?, Big Bee?

Hi Miff

That was the task I set myself as a collector, Demo & Stock Copy.

I gave it my best shot but now I'm older I realise It's impossible.

mine was little joe cook - i'm falling in love with you baby - boot (still got it)

Bought loads of stuff from a smal record shop in Mablethorpe, Lincs. I guess one of my first originals was Roy Hamilton Cracking Up Over You on a mint black RCA. Probably paid two quid for it.

Peter

Ball Of Confusion - Temptations.

Then got the biggest shock of my life, after walking into Ralphs Records,picking up a copy of Soothe Me--Sam & Dave.... How much is this .... A Pound!

You What??? A f*cking pound???????

Well it was 1971 and that was me weeks dinner money

Bought it though.

Tony

mine was agent double o soul edwin starr , after my first soul nite , still love it now

Major Lance "Ain't no soul (in these old shoes)" from the Oldies Museum record shop in Edinburgh round about 1981. It's not worth putting a scan up, since it was a pressing of a white demo, and we all know what THEY look like. Also had to replace it a year or so later when some lowlife stole the first copy.

dance to the music sly & family along with panic reperata & delrons and jekyll & hyde barbara st clair all from virgin records in leeds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cost me 3.97

Had listened quite a lot to "classic soul" and bought some random Stax/Atlantic/Motown 45s and LPs and taken over a bunch of LPs from my parents... but the very first real "northern" 45 that I actively searched out and bought via mail order from the US was The Parliaments "Don't Be Sore At Me" on REVILOT, the second one was Larry Houston "Let's Spend Some Time Together" on HFMP, then when I discovered some more UK and US lists it quickly went "downhill" and within a couple of months I had bought stuff like Accents "New Girl" on M-PAC, Eddie Giles "Losin' Boy" on MURCO, Frank Dell "Baby You've Got It" on VALISE, The Expressions "You Better Know It" on FEDERAL, Phil Flowers "Where Did I Go Wrong" on DOT, Andre Williams "You Got It And I Want It" on RIC-TIC. Plus loads and loads of cheap 45s directly from the US, I bought all sorts of stuff "blind" because the records were so cheap.

Me thinks you got many a good bargain from the shops in Edinburgh.......Susan Rewis being one if it's the Micheal Higgins who sent us some good tapes way back.....

Shotgun - Jr Walker not as a new release I hasten to add.

the second one was Larry Houston "Let's Spend Some Time Together" on HFMP, then when I discovered some more UK and US lists it quickly went "downhill"

I went downhill the moment you bought that Houston turd

Frankie Valli / The night

Gloria Jones / Tainted love

First record I ever bought with own money was Dancing in the street(s) - Martha & vandellas on UK Tamla Motown reissue 68 or early 69 when I was 8/9. The first northern soul originals I ever had were In Orbit and festival Time in 1972 but I didn't know they were northern, if you see what I mean, I'd never heard the phrase.

I went downhill the moment you bought that Houston turd

Think I actually bought it from you (or that might have been Danny Hunt on Dynamite which I also got very early on) and I remember you trashing it on the list which I bought it from as well as telling me what you thought about it when I placed the order.
