It's Taken Me Over 30 Years To Get This Joke
You're wrong. It's a play on the Virgin Wolves, the Wolverhampton players that never scored (a goal)

Cleethorpes Weekender 1995 And 1996 Doris Troy And Tommy Hunt
Ok. When I googled for it I found this bit here: "3) Northern Soul On Dvd Volume 2 .... Channel 4 1996. Features The Cleethorpes Weekender And Doris Troy's Appearance There". Thought appearance meant the live gig there. Was I wrong?

Cleethorpes Weekender 1995 And 1996 Doris Troy And Tommy Hunt
There's a homemade DVD called "Northern Soul on DVD vol. 2" which allegedly features Doris' gig at Cleethorpes in 1996. I think I'll have the DVD at home. Can check tonight if needed?

Silhouettes Lp On Goodway
Here's the track list: Side A: "Silhouettes - 1958" (credited original 1958 on the label) Get a job I am lonely Rent man Your love (is all I need) Bing bong lover Side B: "Silhouettes - 1968" (credited new - 1968 on the label) Get a job Not me baby Gaucho serenade Climb ev'ry mountain We belong together Haven't played side A never been into that 50s sound. Side B is pretty disappointing. New version of Get a job sounds like "can i get a witness" with different lyrics. Gaucho serenade is pretty cheesy and the lyrics are shite. climb every whatever is dull. We belong together is ok, good arrangement. Not me baby is a gem, period. Gives me goosebumps from just playing it

The Mighty Lover Or Cool Off
mighty lover by a mile. I prefer proper lyrics and the whole arrangement is pretty tight. cool off being better? I ain't waving my hands like a fan but like saying goodbye to "cool off"

A Few Wants Cash Waiting
Unless you're specifically after an US or german press, it came out at least in France and Netherlands (dutch production) as well. As I type there's a french copy on Ebay Buy-it-now for 9 euros. Pure value for money I think.

Monster Ballads Hiding On B-Sides Of Northern Classics
Can't play the YT clip due to slow internet connection. But aren't this one and the Voltaires "my my baby" the same song just with completely different arrangements?
-
Silhouettes Lp On Goodway
Would have to dig it out but from what I recall, one side features some of their 50s songs whereas the other side features new 60s recordings with one or two 'updated' versions of their own material (e.g. "get a job"). From a Northern Soul view "not me baby" is the only worthwhile track.

Monster Ballads Hiding On B-Sides Of Northern Classics
There are plenty of quality ballads/sweet soul tracks on the flip of 70s/Modern classics. Is it ok to post them here or are we sticking to 60s only?

Monster Ballads Hiding On B-Sides Of Northern Classics
I remember when I bought that one I was pretty disappointed about the "northern" side but the flip definitely made up for that.

Hytones Acetate Hear
Yep, different takes. You can already here it when they start singing the first "yeah" after "good news in the morning". On the 6Ts anniversary 45 one singer sort of fades into "yeah". On the acetate it's a seperate word if you know what I mean.

Debonairs - Soulclick
Just played the sweet side on YT. You're right it's a killer, soooo good.. Almost like they recorded that side first and ran out of talent when they recorded the uptempo flip.

"the Hardest Part" Curtis Anderson Vs Donald Albert
Flanny's recent sales thread of Curtis Anderson - The hardest part made me digging out my copy of the Donald Albert 12" which I hadn't played for years. Always thought of Donald being a good version but Curtis being better. But now I think Donald Albert is actually the better version! What do you guys think?
