Wonder how many were issued? I hazard a guess of A minimum of 10'000. Most probably agent out free to shops on billboard.

Thanks that's a great starting point. But do collectors agree with it nowadays?

Couldn't find anything on a search, so how about some of you British collectors inform us what the rarest on this s legendary imprint is. Rarest demo?rarest black one? And what about the other Uk labels Detroit's finest was issued on, Fontana, oriole ECT.

Is the outside looking in the same as Eddie Holland? No writing credit on the label.

Don't mention Craig Charles, things are bad enough..

Have to say I was really disappointed, as I generally am with the BBC and especially BBC 4. It was like a Poundland soul compilation IMHO.

Maybe totally unrelated but I get a buzz from this underground house label with many future collectables on it. https://www.discogs.com/label/3460-Bumble-Beats-Records

Great female vocal I'm afraid I don't know, looks like soul Sam on the decks though. Although there's a fair few bespectacled bald northern djs.

Interesting that the same area was so good influencial in the late 80's and early 90's great to see the region is finally getting bthe recognition it deserves. https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2019/01/doug-smith-interview

https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2019/01/nick-the-record-interview Not specifically soul but many interesting parallels. Loved the bit where he mentioned seeing all those p+p sleeves.

Your right Mike, don't see why you need to out other publications down in the process though, which I feel makes me valid in reviewing the review.

Rather harsh on other books, 'turgid affairs'. 'the beast it is today', well that would be a toothless and impotent beast that's a shadow of its former self IMHO.

I'm sure Dave and Pete will correct the details. . And old friend of mine and many other regulars in the 80' s was a youth from Leicester. He had a great collection which he left with a friend whilst on her majesty's pleasure. When he got out, just one record was missing, Joanne Courcey. His pride and joy. Can't think of anyone I've met who was more dedicated to what the scene used to be. He quit the scene, never to return, his illusions of brotherhood shattered forever..

Thing is a lot of people assume this is about a Thief robbing for profit. Knowing human nature, it could be done out of spite, envy or a host of messed up reasons.

I was surprised by that, but c+ c could afford to drop a hundred grand they way they were turning out tunes back then.

Thought the s might be of interest to some.A true soulful dance music pioneer. If like me you love the new Jersey sound, you will be aware of his influence and contribution. Many talk about Chicago tracks but for me house music starts with 'visual's - the music got me. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/01/obituaries/boyd-jarvis-whose-synthesizer-fueled-dance-music-died-at-59.html

I reckon someone would have paid a considerable amount of cash for Russ's copy of Soussan's acetate on memorability value alone . Certainly not the kind of cash that has been paid for a real one though.

This is England was ITV wasnt it Chris?

have to say, considering this is all about the photo's, I'm not that impressed. They kept showing the same few shots and I don't see anything that the average punter wouldn't have captured. There's no reportage and its not really that creative IMHO, especially considering the significance of the event.

Will pm you mate.

Surely this isn't the only lacquer manufacturer?
