Was the Velores booted on the demo? All these tunes were purchased from the 70s / 80s and it it very kind of them to give them to me for nowt even if they could be boots! I think the Rubin is a real one but I have not looked at the other tunes properly yet (ie asked the experts) anyone got any ideas?

GREAT to see a load of 45s in a cupboard instead of the usual CDs

I had a copy of Bobby Long & Dealers "Gotta have love" Old Town from my dad. He collected in the 70s but sadly most of it was boots and reissues. There was a small clutch of good stuff but nothing that was worth mega bucks.

TMG 512 by Hit Pack was the best UK piece.

All my Dad collected was anything by the "Harlech Male Voice Choir" (Its a welsh thing)

My Sister and her pal val invited me into their company tonight and suprised me with their Soul 45s..........and they gave me these all tunes as long as i fucked off

I think the only original out of them all is Rubin? She also gave me a Parkway copy of the Tymes "Here she comes" , Was that booted aswell? They booted anything back then did they not I am glad I only collected "Top Trumps" in the 70s ...much safer....

The nearest I got to a "free gift" was when my neighbour was given loads of early sixties UK pop 45's in mint condition and offered me a choice, but the ONLY one of any real interest was The Johnny Otis Show (featuring Marie Adams) "A Light Still Shines In My Window" (UK Capitol, 1959) which is superb R&B with a Doowop feel. I played it to death and just couldn't get the tune out of my head all summer! Great stuff.

Cheers for that Pete The Rubin is a boot aswell isn't it ? I was looking at Popsike and all the 45 print is red on the demos. I will have to get Mr Manships Guide on boots one of these days.

Right, Im off for a large Wiskey

I was introduced to Northern by this very thing.

A long long time ago ('76 ish) my sis's new boyfriend was horrified to hear I wasn't into music (only footy) The following week he gave me a black 7" record box with 50 Northern Soul singles.

For weeks after he took away the ones I didn't really like and replaced them with others until i had 50 Northern tunes I loved.

The rest is history. Bet I discsarded a few gems in those formative weeks though!

From me mum records collection, I picked up the Aretha Franklin version of "The Track Of My Tears" on italian Atlantic (pic sleeve). Great tune performed by a great voice. Could be an awesome ender...

3 years ago i had to clear an aunts house who had died. in the cupboard under the record player i found a chess gold copy of rescue me and the lp groovin at the go-go. my cousin told me that she loved the music she heard at my wedding reception to denice. she asked at a local shop for a record of (that northern soul stuff).
