This all makes me laugh really, we take the mick out of the baggies, vest and beer towel brigade and the 'uniform' that they wear, but half the people on this thread seem to think that you're not a 'proper soulie' unless you wear ox blood polished heavy duty leather soled brogues/solatios/ Loakes/ Comos etc. Christ on a bike, we'll be saying certain hairstyles aren't appropriate soul styles next. A good dancer is a good dancer, if he's wearing flip flops or wellies and he can dance much better than you, what's to criticise?

Mind you, it would have led to less tat fairs at the weekenders.

Really? I didn't know that. I thought both variations went for about £200-£250.

SammyAcuna was a nice price for the buyer.

Can't believe no-one has bought this at this price. Simply brilliant 45.

Can't be that hard surely. There used to be tons of them around.

Now that's different to the boot 12" i've got.

The boot 12" that came out some years ago is the same cut as the CD. The boot was the only vinyl of it ( I thought). There are a couple of dodgy house/club tracks on the boot and 'where are we going' seems a bit incongruent on the 12" really. The new 12" is a slightly different mix and like Mark, I actually prefer the boot version, although there really isn't much in it. At least with this new 12" you get Marvin's awesome 'Woman of the world' and Donald Byrd's better version of 'where are we going' (IMO).

Here's the last recent one on Ebay Peter. https://www.ebay.com/itm/EDDIE-FOSTER-I-Never-Knew-Northern-Deep-Soul-45-IN-HEAR-/191316096202?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=fIT8I34oP1zRQ3N%252BaVg0g%252BPSFI4%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Fairly sure it's the only version. Richard Stoute is a Barbados singer and entertainer of some repute over there. It has been re-issued or booted, not sure which, quite recently. I regret turning down an original of this about 10 years ago.

I love all the Caprells records. Love the production, the instrumentation and the vocals. Quite a unique sounding outfit.

Trust and assurance that you've paid way, way over the top for very common record and that people think you're daft. Money well spent.

Signed.

Soul Funk-Tion is well worth a visit.

Used to be a £150 tune a few years ago. I don't think it ever really took off though so who knows now?

It's a relief that you've mastered the art of posting on internet forums though Dave.

What a great read and video clip. So sad. Come on Stevie or Berry Gordy, you know what should be done here.

Ha! was just thinking the same, they sound like the elderly women's bowls substitutes.

My copy doesn't have any styrene noise, but it is styrene and I do worry that it might develop a bit of wear, so I try not to play it other than the odd DJ spot. What a great 45 though.

I think it's the worst thing he's done. The song just doesn't work with that jazzy style and his voice doesn't suit it. Nice beat though.

Haven't you seen their video to it Jason, it's a bit like the old Kwick Fit Fitter videos, all dancing around under car ramps with spanners and stuff.

It's like gambling. If you bet a million quid on something you better be able to afford to lose it. Don't put a million quid as your high snipe unless you can afford to lose it.

Different rooms different dancers. Sherrel Bros has been a floorpacker for a good while at certain places but you tend not to get the 'i'm a teapot' northern by numbers dance class dancers at those venues and they're not scared of beats that tie your legs in knots. I agree it's not a 'northern' dance sound in the Wigan traditional sense of the term but thankfully there are places that cater for these kinds of sounds and dancers that love 'em.

Ebay UK by any chance?

Agree. I get the hairs standing up when I hear Freddie Chavez and I get the hairs standing up when I hear the Hopkins Brothers. It's all about context, where you hear the records, the vibe of the night, the mood you're in and the associations you make when you hear the record. New discoveries haven't had long enough necessarily to slip into that warm blanket of happy memories and nostalgia that the old classics have had, but I've no doubt there will be as many reverred classics down the line which are new/recent discoveries at the moment.
