@Charlottie01 there are some amazing 45s in the thread, some I don't even know or remember, and most of what I buy is from the new/recent release thread!!! BUT don't underestimate the humble LPs, some great records out there for cheapness compared to 45s, and you'll find some brilliant tracks not available on 45. an example bought a copy of J Jocko's lp for about £20 contains this brilliant crossover / 70s track, which goes for about £100 as a 45.

sent a PM

absolutely, she has a couple of things out, all goodness for me.

Hey up Mark, wishing you a speedy recovery!!! a.t.b. Mark George.

I just read this, it's a really annoying piece to be fair. implying racism among people attending NS events and that the NS scene was a protest movement. She may have got stared at because she was the only person in the room under 50!!! And the point about getting pushbacks for playing new tracks in sets annoys me [they must have been at the local top 500 only doo] as we have people pushing the new releases!!! More BBC tripe I'm afraid.

So reading this I jumped on the Charley Records website to find its still under construction, and in the shop there's quite a bit of pre order stuff. Mostly rehashes of oder output. There's nothing really telling in the about us section either. Reading some of the release notes I would infer that the stuff they are releasing is not "new finds" in the wild, but someones been rooting through the Charley archives and digging out things that may have been overlooked in the past. FWIW, having had a Lee Bates for years, when I listened to the unissued female? version, it sounded like someone had been tweaking Lees vocals a bit to get a slightly different tone. Don't shoot just my opinion!!!

Sad Sad news.

Couple of my games here. The harmonies on the Capitols take this version to another level for Me. And the grown up vocals on David's version of the Jackson 5 classic also takes to another level.

Kimberlite of Canada for me, don't release a lot but everything they have put out is a winner. Followed by Palmetto Street, which is a subsidiary of Colmine specifically for Ben Pirani's output.

That Shirley Wahls deffo got a few plays out in the 80s. Great tune though, would be happy to hear it out again

one more older northern record I picked up for no money recently, would love to hear out loud in a big.room with lots of sweaty dancers throwing themselves around. BYW I'd never heard it till I saw it and picked it up.

some nice midtempo crossover/modern?

nother cheap as chips new release absolute banging Northern soul

there aren't many records you can't hear at home these days, with the massive coverage of the interweb and facetube etc. I would like to hear some of the things I have in my collection to hear them on a big sound system in a big room. DJs need to mix it up a bit to keep it interesting, some big tunes to fill the floor then sprinkle in some lesser known (affordable or not) to the crowd.

saw what you did there 😆

General Johnson, had this on a 7" new release at one point.

would there be a search capability more specific than the general source search? nothing worse than scrolling through hundreds of lists

I would stand behind any of the Ashford & Simpson lps. every one a winner to my ears.

Just another Saturday night, listening to things I bought recently, things from my collection and any thing I like. Includes Northern Soul, Modern Soul etc , Tracks from Diane Ward, Alexander Morris, The Phonetics, Soul Sensations, Bobby Harden & Willie & The Might Magnificents to name but a few. Full track listing on mixcloud here:

Such sad news, I have great memories of Jon, such a genuine guy. I remember at one of his all nighters I needed to go and get some cash to buy a record. He handed me the keys to his car and told me where the cash point was to be found. So generous. RIP

After selling up my 7" collection I kept all my LPs and 12's and promised that I'd only buy new release 7"s or interesting picture sleeves etc. I've sort of stuck to my own rules! I've started to put some stuff up on mixcloud again, this ones a mix of 7"s including some New Northern Soul, some Modern Soul and just soulful tunes I like. I'll be adding further mixes as I work my way though my existing and new Lps & 12" collection. Here for older mixes https://www.mixcloud.com/emjaygee/ Thanks for listening Mark

The two standout tracks on the new album - Face Your Fear - are Till the End (real deal new Northern Soul stomper IMHO) and Heavens on the Other Side. The whole album is good and picked it up in HMV on vinyl for £20 ish.

Hi, thanks for you kind words. The track you are asking about is Danny Harrison Girl Girl Girl on Coral.

As I mentioned before, I'm digitising my collection. And as I go publishing the odd mix on mixcloud. Here's the latest mix of mainly 60's and 70's, some recently purchased and some I've had for decades. Includes, Eric Lomax, Shirley Karol, Disciples of Soul, Charles Dixon, Lil Gray and and and.... Enjoy.

Hi, Can anyone sell me a copy of Long Boots please? VG++ minimum and clean labels. Thanks Mark
