The problem with the bootleg guides is that they cover mainly those issued in the 70s/80s but there have been many in more recent times. If you buy from reliable dealers, they make it explicit if record is a bootleg/reissue and you can trust what they say: Pete Smith, Manship, Anglo American, Henry Atkinson etc. More risky buying on eBay from individuals, who may not even know the difference themselves.

From around 1968 demand for reissues of club records had been big enough to propel them into at least the lower reaches of the charts: Gene Chandler, Edwin Starr (68), Bob and Earl, Flamingos, Jamo Thomas (69), Contours (70), San Remo Strings, Fascinations, Formations (71). For gauging the size of the northern scene it would be interesting to know what sales figures were like for the big reissues that stayed out of the mainstream, maybe things like Cigarette Ashes or What.

Another one is Four Seasons - Let's Hang On. Also, Helen Shapiro's Tell Me What He Said, but maybe that should be excluded because it does seem to have got some plays in recent years (despite having been a big pop hit).

Harold Melvin - The Love I Lost Len Barry - 1-2-3

I missed it, drat. How did it go? Are things going to work out or are we all doomed? Will a recording be up anywhere?

First for me, in 1968: Isley Bothers - This Old Heart of Mine, Edwin Starr - Stop Her On Sight, and Jackie Wilson - Higher And Higher. First "import" a couple of years later: Mamie Galore - It Ain't Necessary.

... and unless you're watching the final minutes on JM's site, it's more convenient to see them here. Keep going Joe.

I think it's The Jaybirds - Somebody Help Me

It's the Soul Twins - Quick Change Artist.

...for a feature about difficulties of mothers finding affordable childcare. The possibilities are endless. I'll have to watch it more often in future.

Unfortunately 12" only for that I think.

According to Popsike, Common Sense track was released on a 7" 45: https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=%22common+sense%22+%22I+really+love+you%22+-12&thumbs=&currsel=&sortord=&x=0&y=0&incldescr=1

I've now found the final ones. 8:20 - 11:00 Eugene Record - Fan The Fire 11:00 - 14:00 Ren Woods - Hire Love 14:00 - 17:00 Mary Stevens - Find Your Love 20:30 - 23:30 Archie Bell - Anytime Is Right 32:00 - 35:00 Sabata - Man For My Lady 49:10 - 52:00 Common Sense - Just Can't Help Myself 52:00 - end Warner - After Love Has Gone.

I'm on a mission to complete this. Second last now added: 8:20 - 11:00 Eugene Record - Fan The Fire 11:00 - 14:00 14:00 - 17:00 Mary Stevens - Find Your Love 20:30 - 23:30 Archie Bell - Anytime Is Right 32:00 - 35:00 Sabata - Man For My Lady 49:10 - 52:00 Common Sense - Just Can't Help Myself 52:00 - end

Unfortunately not, but the artist on 11-14 sounds familiar and I'm still trying to think who it might be.

8:20 - 11:00 Eugene Record - Fan The Fire 11:00 - 14:00 14:00 - 17:00 Mary Stevens - Find Your Love 20:30 - 23:30 Archie Bell - Anytime Is Right 32:00 - 35:00 Sabata - Man For My Lady 49:10 - 52:00 52:00 - end

8:20 - 11:00 - Eugene Record - Fan The Fire 20:30 - 23:30 - Archie Bell - Anytime Is Right

Like Arnie J, my first would be Darrell Banks - Open the Door / Our Love Is In the Pocket (particularly for Our Love). Here are some of my other favourite cheap ones: ZZ Hill - You Just Cheat and Lie (Kent) Deon jackson - Oh Baby (Carla) Al Kent - The Way You've Been Acting Lately (Ric Tic) San Remo Strings - Festival Time (Ric Tic) Jackie Lee - The Temptation Walk (Mirwood) The Fantaisions - Unnecessary Tears (Satellite) Bobby Bland - Shoes (Duke) The Artistics - I'll Always Love You (Brunswick) Juanita Williams - Baby Boy (Golden World) Ray Charles - I Don't Need No Doctor (ABC) Major Lance - The Beat (Okeh/ UK Soul City) The Continental Four - The Way I Love You (Jay Walking) Gene Chandler - After The Laughter (Checker)

A copy sold on Ebay tonight for £418.

Quite a common practice for soul/R&B multi-artist EPs issued in the UK by Pye and Chess (distributed by Pye) to have artwork rather than photos e.g. The Greatest Live on Stage, Your Chess Requests, The In Crowd etc. Soul Sensations is just another one of these. Just a coincidence that the 2 tracks featured on it were early 'Northern'.

The intro to Dora Hall reminds me a bit of Lorraine & the Delights - Baby I need You.

I actually like nearly all the ones suggested so far. Now here's a real stinker: Dora Hall - Pretty Boy

I noted that the show wasn't a BBC production. I suspect Sharleen recorded the links then some production assistant who didn't know their stuff inserted the recordings. Wouldn't have happened with Phil the Collector from Sounds of the Sixties.

I think it's Julia by Ramsey Lewis.
