Terri Goodnight - They Didnt Know- Phelectron

At last a proper real deal rare record and top quality northern. Dont hear this played too often. Dont know if the price reached will truly reflect the rarity of this record. Top Top Northern, one of the best.

Personally it's not for me, it's certainly not the best record ever recorded but it is better than some of the crap that masquerades as Northern Soul and far better than most of the funky sh*te we hear these days.

I'm sure the auction will do very well for Maria, let's face it if anybody's going to achieve the best price , it's JM

Thanks.  I thought the articles said Jean was Johnny's wife.  I just assumed that.  I didn't think Johnny was old enough to have a 20+ year old child.  And was thinking about Ed Wingate's starting up Golden World for his future wife.  The articles DIDN'T say what her relationship to Johnny was.  So, Johnny set up the label for his daughter to start a career in music.  Nice to have rich parents.

     The info I posted about Jean being Johnny's daughter came from the Kent CD "Northern Soul's Classiest Rarities Volume 5". But with Johnny being born in 1937, that doesn't make much sense timewise.  So did Johnny's wife put the song in her daughter's name, was his wife's middle name Jean or did his wife have a child from a previous marriage named Jean? Anyone want to go down the rabbit hole ?

Thanks for pointing that out.  Do you know how Ralonzo got the name "Phelectron"?  Does it have something to do with atoms or electricity?  Did he have a tremendous amount of energy?  Overactive (hyper)thyroid?  On Speed?
