I’m gonna be quite detailed here,im interested in seeing a list of northern soul uk only 45s? Predominantly 60’s and some 70’s.

a list of 45s that are uk only,no foreign release or USA,no album tracks,and an original song for that particular artist! I imagine it will be a short list and of blued eyed soul origin!

RAY MERRELL TEARS OF JOY JAYBOY

MICKEY MOONSHINE NAME IT YOU GOT IT DECCA …these two are perfect examples of what I mean.

timi yuro never be over (this isn’t)

chapter 5 (this isn’t) these two have album an foreign releases!

lee

Bobby McClure - You Bring Out The Love In Me - Island

Would love to know how this great Chicago artist ended up as a UK b-side to a white group, no credits printed on the label to go off. Same backing as Love Affair on U.A.

this is my fav instrumental without question , just love it

 

 

 

Could be wrong,but I’m sure I’ve seen this on another label,maybe a foreign label with a big hole?

Maureen Evans - Searching For Home - CBS UK

Not Northern but a very nice beat ballad, her last recording that didn't come out on any other format.

My apologies on the paradox tune,im mixing it up with the vocal version by Dave walker on uk rca!

Don’t know for sure but possibly a couple of 1960’s Lita Roza singles ?

i.e. Mama ,he treats your daughter mean.

Stranger things have happened.

Valerie masters - don't ever go - polydor

Valerie masters - last train out - polydor

Lorraine silver - happy faces - pye

Lee tomlin - sweet sweet lovin - cbs

Isn’t this a cover of ted Taylor Julian? Or is this the original?

This is a good one, but its kinda mix of loads of tracks, but independantly written by Biddu Appaiah. Bit of Four Tops, and I hear the same arrangment as Billy Ocean, different lyrics.. and he even used 'Build me up Buttercup' at one point, it's more like a 'Pastiche' then anything else... but UK released...

Jimmy James - A Man Like Me

 

 

 

Another UK Production that went nowhere... Ken Roland - Fly My Kite

 

Get down with it - Little Richard ?

God dam your hard Dobber! lol

OK, from the big list above, I checked, most came out else where, stand by Keith & Billie - Taste Sour Don't It / Picadilly, although Penned by Jimmy Radcliff over there, it only ever got a release in the UK, as far as I can see.

Until of course his son Chris Radcliffe cut those acetates, well over a decade ago...BIG man obviously did release it last year of course, but not their version.

Nice one, had to seek out Pet Clark and The Undertakers as I didn't know those. Yes, Petula very similar to Holly St.James. Undertakers on album/CD only and a great blue-eyed version of 'I Wanna Be (your Everything)'.

That Jimmy James (Hungary EP) plays a totally (poorer) different take of "I feel alright" than UK Piccadilly. The jamaican release can not say which take does play.

I just got to say I love this:

 

Laurel Aitken - Sweet precious love (UK Rainbow)

 

UK only as far as I know unless a jamaican issue do exist which I doubt. UK production yes, but it's Soul in my book.

 

 

Larry Williams with Johnny Guitar Watson and the Stormsville Shakers - Sweet little baby (UK Decca)

 

 

Tommy Tucker - Oh what a feeling (UK London) 👌

 

 

Pioneers - My good friend James
