My alltime #1 Northern tune. That intro is like a warning bell to get on the dancefloor immediately.

Thanks, glad you like it. Yes, some rather poor oldies at the start. But they're part of SWONS aren't they. And I think I'll make up for them later on in the mix. PS: I've always have and will love Peggy March IYLM 🥴

Worst Record Shop Experiences?
Recent worst experience: Backbeat Records in Edinburgh. A shop so crammed you can't enter. You have to tell the owner what you're after and he will carry the respective boxes outside for you to look through. Went there with my 13y old lad who'd just started to show interest in collecting rocksteady and reggae 45s using his pocket money. Told the owner what we're after. He said he doesn't even bother to show us the rocksteady/reggae boxes. That we would be after the rarities for cheap anyway. I said I'm here with my son who wants to buy some cheap 45s. He said he doesn't believe us and basically told us to f*ck off. Fun fact: apparently this shop is Ian Rankin's favourite Edinburgh record shop.

I don't know how to interpret "Unissued british 1967 promo only" but Chapter Five "one in a million" was released in Germany and Italy. Yet I don't think this doesn't really matter. It's a below average cover version and probably appeals to UK completists only.

World Northern Soul Dance Championship: Info please
Paul, all but the last question should be aimed at the promoters. I assume you asked them as part of your research? Care to share the replies?

Mal, yes got caught on Dream Team and Royal Esquires. Bought both from a well known DJ/collector shortly before the quantities came on the market. Pretty obvious he knew about that and tried offload the records before price would plummet. But both have been increasing again price since then. Same for Clara Hardy and Betty Lloyd.

JMAuction - 08/11/2023 - Results!
Quantity turn up of Dream Team was at least 10/12 years ago. Price plummeted back then to below 100 quid. I was pretty miffed then as I bought a copy for 400 just a few weeks before all those NOS copies turned up. More recently copies in circulation seem to have dried up. And the flipside is sought after by the lowrider collectors more recently. So no surprise to me that price is going up again.

Tyrone Barkley - Man of Value
There are quite a few M- copies of the bootleg on Discogs for sale. Is this a recent pressing? And if it is, why? Any demand for it?
-
Favourite current label
Am not reallyinto reissues, unreleased stuff or mediocre uptempo retro sounds. I'm all for newly recorded slower stuff. So I'd say best label around is Penrose, followed by Colemine.

Four Sonics - Easier Said Than Done
thanks. didn't know that. Do you have scans of the light blue stock copy? might be worth adding them to the discogs database.

Four Sonics - Easier Said Than Done
Interesting questions. I always thought I had seen yellow issues of it. But Discogs lists a white demo and a white issue. only difference between them seems to be the "promotional copy" lines on the demo. both pressings are styrene.

Cover Up .uncovered?
What has "the scene" to do with one guy trying to sell a poor record way overpriced? Seriously.
