Don't know if it's of any interest, but the night called Function which Helena, myself, Jonte and Joppe ran for 5 years here in Malmoe, Sweden is no more. But the website is still there with playlists: https://www.clubfunction.com/#category4 and mixes/podcasts: https://www.clubfunction.com/#category1 Myself, Helena and Jonte are currently running a new night called Soulin' at a new venue, but we don't have a website (just a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/soulinmalmo ) and haven't really been good at posting playlists as of late. Will have to do better with that. My own mixes can be found here, they are representative of what I play when DJing: https://www.shingaling.com/

I think it's an interesting version of MBLTB. Much slower than Don Gardner's, and not particularly suited for the dancefloor, but a nice oddity. I know of four other EPs on the CLUB TEEN label apart from Les Fleurs and Harlem Kiddies. They are by Things, Tumble Downs, The Sheltones and New Generations. All of them are hard to find. Here is a scan as promised of the sleeve:

Ofcourse. I didn't say anything about that. I just find it a bit funny that some people who otherwise are original-vinyl-only somehow think it's OK to play P-Vine reissues from the 90's as "originals". Oh well!

The chances of finding this 45 when casually browsing for records in Copenhagen are probably between zero & 0% as well. I've seen 4 copies in 10 years. 3 of them without picture sleeve. I'll scan the picture sleeve on my copy and post it here. I can't find it on the net anywhere.

Yes, it is very rare. Seldom turns up for sale. It was only released in Denmark. Came with a picture sleeve as well.

They're pretty much the same. Both sound crap and are extremely bass-heavy. Doesn't really matter though. The P-Vine issue shouldn't be of interest to anyone who collects original issues. It's a reissue from 1990. The original LP is from 1971.

If it was legal I find it highly unlikely that they would go to such trouble to replicate the Bell Sound stamp (and fail). I mean, why bother? It was most likely done to decieve buyers. The real "Bell Sound" stamp looks exactly the same on all 45s that it was used on.

If it was this one you bought then you bought the japanese reissue: The original US Turbo issue is very rare.

I have no idea, but it might be Chuck Cornish "A Tribute To Mohammed Ali" on WHITE CLIFFS: https://www.thesoulgirl.com/music/Northern%20Soul%2063/Chuck%20Cornish%20-%20A%20Tribute%20To%20Mohammed%20Ali%20-%20White%20Cliffs.mp3 Has got same backing track as Senator Jones "Do You Love Me":

Is is a bootleg and definitely NOT made from the same stampers as the original first press demos and issues. The above does however have "Bell Sound" scratched into the deadwax, but it does NOT look the same as on the original. Someone tried to copy the "Bell Sound" stamp and did it fairly well, but ultimately failed. Check out this post for more info and comparisons:

The artist is Emmitt Long. Full info: Emmitt Long - Call Me / You're Puzzling Me - DONOYIA A hard to find 45.

According to the liner notes in Goldmine's "Northern Soul Fever vol. 2" (GSCD 43, released in 1993) it is: "A previously unreleased demo - Sirmatt - A Festival Recording" The Flirtations / Jimmy Ricks / Tommy Tucker "Festival" label? I guess "Sirmatt" is the publisher?

I get 193.000+ here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/Records-/176985/i.html?_dmpt=Music_on_Vinyl&Genre=R%2526B%2520%2526%2520Soul&rt=nc ...and the "Motown" category is back...

Just had a look at this. It doesn't look good at all. As you earlier wrote, a whole lot of sub-genres are gone within the r&b/soul and rock categories like "northern soul", "Motown", "60s punk/garage" etc. Might be time to start listing things on the co.uk site instead, at least the categories on there make a bit more sense.

There seems to be some glitches with eBay at the moment. Records appear, disappear an re-appear in a matter of hours. Are you searching from the .com site? I am and I can find 10 of your auctions by searching for them in the regular search box at the top and also by searching for your username (see below). Hope things work out!

Vicki Anderson - No More Heartaches No More Pain - KING 6314 Fantastic track. 172 copies in stock of the original 45 here at $40 each: https://www.recordsbymail.com/search.php?keywords=190895

No, that's the Royal Knights on TEAR DROP if I remember correctly.

A lot of things can happen to a record in three years though! It has steadily been selling for $100-$150 during the past year or so.

Didn't know about the documentary. Will check it out.

That's right. But the chances of a registered/recorded/insured package getting lost is, in the grand scheme of things, not that big.

Yes, definitely the original issue.

It will not. It doesn't matter what you write in your item description. If the buyer pays with PayPal it will not make a difference. You need to have proof of DELIVERY in order for PayPal to side with the seller in a case like this.

Thanks for posting that! Very nice.

The flipside on Frank Eddie is nice as well.
