Believe it or not. These reissue demos might not be done for Soul Night/Allnighters DJ's. They might be done to be sent to Radio DJ's, reviewers or maybe just "key faces" to get the Northern Soul public notice the eventual releases. Just a thought...

Can't see anything wrong with demos of legit reissues. E.g. G2K sent out advance promos or even acetates to raise interest for the eventual release. And I agree with Dave, from a collector's poin of view they're more desirable (that if one collects reissues) as there are usually less copies made.

Funny that. Because I think Stop and Think is among the most tedious Philly dancers of all time. I know it's rated highly by many. But to me it's almost a in-case-of-insomnia-play-this-record-and-fall-asleep-instantly record.

Is Chubby on London 1589? Then it's a reissue from 1976.

Thanks

I'm confused, always thought there isn't a US 45 release for "my hang up"??? Or was it for "I'm your pimp"???

Didn't you sell Tony Colton end of last year?

And the very first release was by a blue-eyed artist. I guess they changed their mind after it

IMO, the term "mass market" only applies if the target audience for all these products. is much bigger than the actual worldwide Northern Soul scene. I.e. are any people outside the scene actually buying all this crap? Then it's correct to talk about a mass market. Or is just the scene flooded with these "products"? Then it's more like trying to milk the last drop of milk out of a (cash) cow.

I'm pretty sure someone just photoshop'd title and artist in a scan of Capitol 5969 (Patti Drew) to use it in the YT video. Edit, here's the video Robb refers to:

I think you can buy a few Gene Toones for 4K.
