Is Northern Soul More Popular Than Ever?
That's one possibility. There's also a greater awareness of it now. Both within the general public and a wider following across the globe. I think you're right in the sense that us 'oldies' have got more money than we had then and are perhaps doing more with it on the scene. For example, there are a lot more promoters promoting venues than there used to be. I'm sure there's more that can be added to the equation but that's a few. I'm certainly glad that it's still going great guns

Boot V Ovo Threads
You'll have to check whether these threads have any matrix numbers and of course, whether they are etched, scratched or stamped Sorry

Original Vinyl Only ?
Now I know it's impossible to achieve that in some cases (God bless them and may they RIP) but if you pay's you're money you wouldn't expect to turn up and watch the local vicar all dolled up to suit doing his impersonation of said artist would ya?

Any Ideas Of Recent Value?
Hi. Any help appreciated here. Any idea of a recent value for The Sensations (feat Yvonne Baker) - Baby - Junior 1006? There's a couple on Popsike but from quite a while ago. I don't have JM's recent edition. Only got 2nd edition and there's no mention of it in there. Many thanks in advance.

Why No Centers
According to this little FAQ... https://www.tomh.demon.co.uk/jukebox/faq.htm#8 .... American record playing equipment used to select the correct speed to play the record at based on the hole size. (It's under the FAQ question 'So what's this dinking business then?')

Northern Soul 'urban Myths'
Not so much Urban Myth as such, more like disillusioned sarchasm I reckon. But the rumour went round at the time that Diane Foster of 'I'm Gonna Share It With You' fame on Casino Classics, was actually Russ's (Winstanley) wife.

Top Dancers Early Casino Days & Other Venues
Nice post. And so right. I like dancing myself and thoroughly enjoy every minute that I do. But as much a part of any night for me is watching others also. No matter how someone dances, most have something in their routine that catches the eye. Something different from everyone else.

The Soul 45
Is Edwin Starr - Back Street not still in the running? Just been back through the thread and not seen it discounted yet? *Edit - Sorry, forget that. Just spotted the last part of mark.b's post at the top of this page relating to having no motown related in his collection. *2nd Edit - Would that not apply to JJ Barnes - Please Let Me in aswell being a Ric-Tic record?
-
The Soul 45
Maybe it would be a good idea to say what qualifies as a limit to the minimum size of a record collection. The smaller the collection, the unliklier it is to contain a record, no matter how popular. I've been surprised by the fact that certain 45's are not in peoples collections and also that certain records I don't have in mine appear to be popular amongst others. Good game, though

Add Edwin Starr - Back Street, anybody not got that?

On Her Way To Work
The unfortunate thing for records like 'The Snake' is that they become synonomous with the general public as being the epitomy of Northern Soul. It's happened to DILY-Frank Wilson aswell. Of course, both of those records where big on the scene at times but as we all know they do not represent the Northern Soul scene to those of us who have sweated our pants off at many an allnighter/dayer. It's all about that moment when you're sat there at a Christening/Wedding/Auntie's 100th Birthday Bash, etc, etc, when the damned DJ puts it on the decks. Auntie taps you on the shoulder and says, "Hey up love, are you not showing us your dancing? It's that Northern Soul you like."

Just Sunshine - The Voices Of East Harlem - Cashing In
A bit later than first anticipated, but better late than never. The issue copy I got is more or less the same as the Demo in the top post. Obviously there is no reference to Promo on there and there are ni 'Intro' or 'Fade' times. Otherwise it is exactly the same. Might be the scan/picture but this issue looks a more light cream colour. The 'Bell Sound' stamp is in the same place relative to the 'Just Sunshine' logo and the matrix number is etched 'PMB-27815-AS-1-1-1'. Directly opposite at 6 oclock to the etched matrix is an etched 'PR'. There is also what looks like 'SR' lightly etched on both sides about an inch from the 'Bell Sound' stamp. I'll have to get this scanner sorted out so I can contribute a few piccy's.
