Bought my (first) copy from Soulbowl 75-76ish on the strength of a Dave Godin revue for B&S in which he cited several Colin Curtis spins from the Mecca any one else remember that?

I see that another 'estate sale' in the states has turned up a Sam Williams

Ive often thought my multi coloured was a bit muffled I'd like to here the other to compare, do they both have the same B sides?

Bid on one on e bay went $12 went for $77 that was a vg copy and an issue to boot it is a b side so some careful searching could come up trumps!!

Theres an abundance of UK copies of this album around.... unfortunately this track is not on them you'll have to make do with Sad September which will be apt if thats the month you purchased it in...... Its a cruel world....... I'll get my coat

My dear wife who can't understand what all the fuss about northern soul or even soul music absolutely loves this record! Just goes to prove that Smokey is one of the greatest poets!! John..........& lynn

Lets try it over - Willie Hutch - RCA

I had money burning a hole in my pocket and stumbled upon one in a junk shop for £50 in what would be g condition. Got a new reed for it and a halter and Ive been honking along to all my Jnr Walker tunes with it ever since, (like Gene Hackman in The Conversation), learn to play....... not as long as Ive got a hole in my a**

Does any body think that punk/punkrock did a lot to deflect the medias attention from NS I mean whats news about a load of dancers staying up all night in reasonably coservative clothes and hairstyles compared to the photo oppurtunity of a purple haired mohican with ripped trousers and 6 inch nails through his cheeks? Don't see a PUNK website do you!

+ 1 album mix is definitley superior and in stereo my mate Colin Dilnott unearthed it years ago

Which came first Yellow or Green I got a yellow copy from Soulbowl in the mid seventies I recently got a green copy

Was this on the flip of the Countdown boot? Seem to recall hearing it along time ago

MY LITTLE RED BOOK BURT BACHARACH !!!!!!!!! I left northern soulin the late 70s and got into jazz and all the other stuff (rare groove, easy ,blue note etc.) I had this album I seem to recall the vocalist was a "hero" Did it ever go?

When did the boot appear? I recall the B side had some appeal

Macdonna Hall monthly disco in West Kirby Girl, Why You Wanna Make me Blue played by the lads of Basement Disco Twisted Wheel goers I believe would have been 1970

Like many others on this thread I left school and started an apprenticeship at HH Robertsons in Ellesmere port. I liked Motown Stax type records and had just started buying Blues&Soul incorparating Home of the blues as it was called in those days. At work I met a guy called Charlie Taylor he was a regular Mecca goer and lent me a few tunes Jimmy soul Clarke ,California Montage and April Stevens. A regular sunday night thing then was the Bowaters Social club werer the DJ used to throw in a few Northern sounds at the end of the night Charlie suggested a trip to the Raven in Whitchurch we got a bus and travelled with a girl called Geraldine and her mate Carol from Chester great night Soul Sam was on the first time I heard Frankie Beverly and The Poets Two Hearts, Under My Thumb was a big record. Don't know if any of those caracters are still around (except Sam) as I don't visit the venues, but I'll echoe everybody elses sentiments that they were great times and started my love for Northern!

Ive known 3 copies and they have all suffered from the dreaded kersches were there any vinyl copies?

TERRA SHIRMA STRINGS I BELONG TO YOU KADDOO STRINGS CRYING OVER YOU AL KENT ORCHESTRA THE WAY YOU'VE BEEN ACTING LATELY Three instrumentals that I prefer to the vocals, or is that another thread? would have included HELP ME AL WILSON but I do like that vocal Agree that in respects its the breaks that make them SPECIAL
