Beginners & Enders
The last record ever played at Clowne's soul nights was Al Hudson and the Soul Partners "I'm About Loving You". About a year ago when I did an end-of-the-night spot at Barrow Hill, I finished off with Jimmy Beaumont "You Got Too Much Going For You".

Do copies exist with an actual address for St Lawrence then? My copy just has the address of Chess distribution (Chicago, Ill 60616) along the bottom

Vinyl Cutting/carving

Nooooooooooooooo
I suppose if the records were broken or otherwise fsck'ed, there may be some justification, otherwise Darth Vader would say it best

The Ten Commandments Of Northern Soul
Mind you these days people are more believable if they get the odd thing wrong - a real bullshitter would research the exact dates etc on the net

Rare Uk Albums
The Clyde McPhatter on MCA with "Please give me one more chance" is a rare one no?
-
Protest Songs
Yes, and I remember reading somewhere that some of Motown's love songs could actually be interpreted on a wider social level - eg "It Takes Two" could be interpreted as an advocacy of the greater power of collective action over individual action And surprised noone's mentioned Joe Tex's current biggie "I Wanna Be Free"

Close - the Chess 8025 is actually the UK release, the first press of which is on a black label with gold print.

Mixed Emotions - Gold Of My Life - Emi Germany
Possibly one of the group had a relative in the US forces who was posted to NATO Germany at the time and passed the word out about it?

Canadian Tamla Labels
Nice....particularly interesting that the ZTSC numbers are on the labels, were the actual stampers sent from Detroit to Canada or were they just copying all the info from the US labels, relevant or not?

Northern Soul - What Are The Worst Mixes?
Doubt if a lot of our favourite '60s were any more than 4-track originally - even the Beatles were only using 4-track in 1967: so I think it's fair to say that Motown et al were using similar techniques to those described in the above article.

Touch Of Velvet
I have - writing credit is J. Ferdy. The Mood Mosaic version is arranged and produced by Mark Wirtz.

Supertime - Golden World
I believe the "supertime" boot was actually speeded up from the original lp track n'est-ce pas?
