Don't mind at all as there may be a few people out there missed it and you are correct it is sounds awesome on a big system with plenty of base, Rick

Hi Pete yes thanks for that known Sean well over the years and miss his spots when i used to go to Yarmuff w/enders didn'nt know he was behind that track and as you say a great track, thanks for the info ... Rick

Don't know if this has ever been discused on here before apologies if it has but if you are not familiar with this practice record used to put a "Secret Track" on a CD for you to find for yourself without telling you it was there. They were found after the last track played say track 15 would fade and time numbers would continue and anywhere up to a minute or so later a track would kick in. I will kick things off with the CD Chris Hill's "New School Caister Soul Anthems" that Expansion put out in 2005 let track 15 play to the end and leave running and the unlisted track "Thank You" kicks in which samples the Detroit Spinners intro riff from "I'll Be Around" So what "secret/hidden tracks have you found (providing you buy CDs) I believe this practice started as a sales drive in the early days of the CD. Please feel free to discuss/share...Rick

Morning all, recently bought one of these on 7" for a friend of mine for his Birthday as he liked it when i played it to him as it one he was not familiar with, the question is both mine and the one i gave him are blue and white labels, and looking on Musick Stack there are a few (not many) for sale and the label on one of them is pink! Now when you go to youtube to play the copy up loaded on there info on track said it was not profesionaly made available and only he (the artist) and friends had original copies, so if that is the case why 2 different colour labels as this would lead me to think a lot of these were pressed? so which was first ? by the way if you don't know the track go to youtube and have a listen or maybe someone could put a link to it on here as its a fabulous record and very cheap too ( for now ) sounds like it should be a big money job, well i think so Rick

Soul Source every time - Don't do Face Book, This is the place for all you would want to know about Soul Music as most people on here very knowlegable.

Big Cleethorpes tune as was New censations version Rick

Clyde Milton for me as this is the version i play out, never bothered with the others, Rick

You're dead right Dave, I have one of these and they are hard to come by, Wonderful record and a great price!

Yes was deffo a spin at Cleethorpes for me and still have it in my box, i think Poke put me on to it VIA "Soul Bowl" Cracking tune and worth the revival it appears to be getting,

have an autoraphed white label copy i bought some years ago (will have to dig it out) can't remember which dealer obtained from) anybody know or remember anything about these?also a good few years before that a white label of cool off autographed by pop corn wylie (not off cetre like all the green ones

So not only a legendary venue but could be now a piece of Northern Soul history, wow! well done that man with the cine film camera!

By the way thats me 49-50 seconds in on left with long hair up on the stage includes Rick Todd, Dick Jervis, Mary And Colin too, so many happy memories of that legendary venue,the best venue i ever dj'd at over the years and so many friendships made,very friendy crowd, just the way i would love to remember it, Rick Scott

Good God i hope not. The two that Payo did were ok ish(well maybe the 1st one) but to be fair it's now a nite club,now looks nothing like it did inside like back in the day with Mary and Colin at the helm, would hate it to become another Wigan Casino laughing stock. I have great memories of the place and would like to keep them that way,Rick Scott

Hi ALL, Had a pink copy i played at the Cleethorpes Pier All Niters, it never went massive for me and i ended up selling it with a bunch of other unwanted records to J Manship at an early Yarmouth Weekender,it had slight damp/water dammage to label and pretty sure John auctioned it off,don't know what he got for it though, strange thing was how quickly it was booted befor it was given a chance to make the big time, somebody jumped the gun a bit on that one, still a great record, quirky in it's own way and probably stands a better chance now than back then, Rick

Making new music would be more interesting, why the interest in recycling old tracks all the time, and not always doing the old tracks justice, the art of creativity is a dying artform, Just like making unreleased tracks available can be positive but SOME should be left unreleased as they were unreleased for a reason, they jus weren't good enough,and in most cases not the finished article,

Just what the Doctor ordered, Loving this.Can't wait to get my hands on a copy to spin this out in both camps, Well done every one involved in getting this put out.

Love this to bits and always in my Cleethorpes Box, Massive for me at Pier/Winter Gardens As was for Colin and Ian at the Mecca. Bernice has a Beautiful voice which takes this tune to a different level,often slip this into my Modern sets, also have to say when you listen to it now it makes you realise how different this record must have sounded on first hearing at the time but you have to admit it is CLASS shear CLASS, Wonderful

Hi Pete, have the jenny and the Jewels and the Richie brown on the first issues as stated would like to see a scan of the vinyl copy numbered 5099. mine is syrene numbered th-255 which is the reissue, as love to know for sure if uptight was on the other side of the Val Palmer orig. Seems strange that uptight originaly on hit and Val Palmer not?

Thanks for that, it does answer the question, Always assumed it was on hit records as Richie Browns Uptight issued on HIT prior to BIG HIT. Strange how your memmory works but it was over 30 years ago, So i now need to find one and find out how much it goes for these days, Should have rung Sam up as haven't spoke to him since last year, anyway thanks for that, now i know My copy is styrene complete with crack

i'm sure the original is on hit records and not twin hits, twin hits reissues turned up after the hit label release went big

Go to MUSICSTACK Lee, search in LABEL Type in HIT and see what comes up

Richie Brown - Uptight c/w Jalopy five - California Dreaming (HIT RECORDS) RECORD NUMBER 240 PLEASE NOTE RECORD LABEL IS NOT TWIN HITS This label has Nashville matrix in run out grove. label is black with silver writing. Val Palmer came out on tha Hit Label too originaly, the TWIN HITS LABEL looks to be re-issues of the Hit label singles, I'm sure Mr. Manship will have some info on this one,looks like a good subject for a thred Lee

First heard this played at The Cleethorpes Pier (Played by Sam) as far as i can remember. and was pressed up on twin hits with Richie brown - uptight on reverse side, I have never had a proper copy since as i bought the re-press in the mid 70's, Richie Brown came out in it's own right on HIT records, so what was on th other side of the first issue of Val Palmer on HIT records and has it ever come up for sale? I wonder who has the copy played at the Pier?........Rick

Was massive at Ceethorpes Pier/Winter Gardens and from memmory sure it was booted Regards Rick
