I remember reading these sleeve notes many years ago on a CD, and it’s taken me ages to remember which disc it was, and to find another copy.

Superb bit of nostalgia from Dave Evison.

Memories!👍👍👍

I think it was a Charley CD....

indeed. i have a copy here. GSCD1

Yes I read it on Northern Soul Essential Story, the first Goldmine CD after their Soul Supply vinyl LPs. I must of re-read it many dozens of times. I bought it directly from Rob Smith in the shop, when Kev used to drop them off. I bought them for years that way. Any sold out I would get from Selectadisc round the corner if there instead.

There are still a few songs only on Goldmine CDs (and related labels) contained on this such as Inticers, Bell Boys, Jimmy Mack.

This was the CD that I first read it on.

In the mid 60's, album notes took a different path. We were actually living the life every week; buying our Levis, Ben Sherman's & mohair made to measure suits, riding our Lambrettas, going to the clubs, watching RSG and the Untouchables on tv, etc.

What we needed was more knowledge on the artists, their records & record labels. So sleeve notes back then (by the likes of Guy Stevens, Dave Godin, Mike Raven & James Hamilton) were about these subjects -- what US label Bob & Earl were signed to, which city Joe Simon cut his records in & where the Volumes were from (Pittsburgh ?) ...
