One of my best car boot finds back in the day * Love It and Play it still to This Day* Enjoy*

Yep, and why would you not want to play a quality tune like this? Regular spin in My Front Room and any chance i get to play it out, Fab tune, and yes, knocks spots off so called Big Ticket Records, Keep 'em Coming'!

When i used to go, wearing a large fancy coloured Hanky around your neck under your unbuttoned top button of your shirt was very popular, a bit like Cow Boys wore in Westerns, I had stoped going by the time the Jazz Funk type dress was being worn.

Well, Were you Impressed or was it a Damp Squib, the same old reissues trawled out, and loads of Remixes of Records that have already been remixed a dozen time before, Has it all lost its way,

Thanks for putting this up Chalky, You're a Star, i still have mine but will have to get my Son to show me how it is done (up loading It was a Fabulous Day it has to be said. Rick

Interesting Topic this one, as i cough and splutter over my corn flakes at some of the descriptions of records on certain dealers sites, like, "VIRTUALY UNKNOWN !" Is that in the real world or in the world of Virtual Reality, Would have thought it was known or it wasn't. "Could be big if played out as never been played" Oh really, I used to play it as did many other DJs back in the day. Another one that makes me laugh, "ONLY KNOWN COPY", Really i have one of those sitting on my shelf and i know others who bought it and played it around the same time so how can you make that claim......or of course the obligatory "Only one or two of these around" Surely unless you know, How can you say. Oh and this one, "This would make a good cover up ?" with the name of Artist, Title, Label on display. (OHIPML) All very entertaining i have to say, and some dealers?sellers are so good at it i'm sure they could sell fridges to eskimos, We have to remember not everyone that buys SOUL records are a DJ, They are COLLECTORS so we don't get to see or hear the rare records in their collections so who knows what is lurking around out there? Yes it is a strange time at the moment for this record collecting, whether you are buying OR selling and as for the prices,I think this thread and the contributors makes it all speak for itself.

Yea, I used to play this to Death and still Do

Yea, That'll Do It!

*WOW* There's Nothing Else To Say Baby!!!!

I have never heard of this "GAME" so Googled it, WOW, Certainly not for the "FAINT HEARTED" and so many Variations. Shows how inventive the Human race really are, Puts APES at the back of the Que when it comes to Entertainment

Quality Records Will or Should get a dance floor reaction based on my own experience, All these Big ticket Shit Rare records are just that, RARE, but can't compete with good quality soulful records with a Dance Beat at more sensible prices, It Should always be about quality Not Rarity, After all, we all know You Can't Polish a Turd

Fabulous Record i confess haven't played out enough, will have to rectify that pronto, Beautiful

Have to say I have leaned a great deal of information i was NOT aware of when i started this thread, so a big THANK YOU for all your contributions, Keep it going Lads And Lasses, very interesting insight to our wonderful Scene.

And We All Lived Happily Ever After

Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth

yea, me too

Some interesting points, over the years some events preferred to promote their Nites as Rare Soul Nites and distance themselves from the Northern Soul Tag

Well there is a Question to ponder With, seeing as how people like to "Pigeon Hole" Music and everything else under the sun, but it is worth asking, as it could have changed the whole Soul Scene as we know it Today If the term Northern Soul Had NOT been Coined. So, Seconds Away, Round One

Yea, i think it just might ruffle a few Feathers long the way but hey, we are all grown ups Could be quite Interesting.

Dancing styles were very different in the beginning of the N.S.Scene (early to mid 70s) and this records beat caught the imagination of those that frequented the Mecca and Cleethorpes, other Clubs were no quite so Welcoming. There were other tunes that were deemed Outside the Box so to speak, "The Gig" - and "I need you baby" by Sin Guy along with a host of others. The arguments were just the same back then, but Music didn't split the scene, People did. Music was evolving, Soul music is exactly that "Soul Music" no matter what year it was recorded. Back in the early days Soul Sam had a sticker on his record box that read "Stomp Funk To Death! when asked about it he replied as he usually did with a hand over his mouth and with a sly grin on his face, "You don't believe That do you ? " Yea we all knew he was buying New releases and recent obscure 70's releases but then we all knew that despite the sticker. Shame that people couldn't see past the 60's, some still can't but hear is a question which might make a good thread. If the Term "Northern Soul" had NOT came about, it may or may not have changed Musical History on the Soul Scene in the UK as we know it, and maybe it would have been a better place for it ........................... Just a thought.

Ambition Records USA (1980) Silent Records UK (1980) Stiff Records UK (1981) I played this back in the day as a new release (both sides) Heard it on the John Peele Radio show of all places, (Played it covered up as The Carstairs) Cheap as Chips and Plenty about

Thanks for putting this up, i had forgotten just how great this record is, so spine tingly simple but so, so, soulful, you have great taste sir
