    Mike Jemison was a Butch spin in 92 or thereabouts...I have him on my YouTube channel spinning it on Cleethorpes radio.

    Got an autographed UK pye acetate of Marvin Gayes I Heard It Through The Grapevine.... Wonder why on Pye?

    Ive bought loads from this seller.He usually has numerous copies of each record so don't be suprised if other copies surface.Never has mint of any 45's though.

    The Executive on UK cbs....Roy Carr who used to write for the NME s old group.How much is The Motown Spinners worth these days as opposed to The Spinners....... The ink is black the page is white.

    Surely the most money made must have been the mid seventies bootleggers.The only way to have the sounds was on a 45 and there were kids every weekend buying thousands of them plus there was a high turnover of big sounds ensuring a steady turnover.

    Here's a few of mine....looks like the inked A's are to denote the plug side...looks like some stores had a habit of ink stamping their shop and even price

    The deejays Acetate man-spends his time tracking down producers/artists/label owners for the old tat they deemed not suitable for release in the first place.Some of it is good but there's a lot of crap.He needs an arctic to transport his box and can be seen with a grimaced face as another bit of lacquer flakes off that Pugmeat Nelson detroit rarity recorded in an unused skip. 50 Box-Only buys trophy pieces of records over 1k that another deejay has previously broken...doesn't know anything about Jackie Wilson....usually has a good job to bankroll this and also sees his records as an investment commodity.Always on popsike....can be heard saying ...one went on Manship's for.....he is a feeder of the record dealer who has tons of rubbish left from that haul in the big wood shed in Tuscon from 1978 and has created markets to sell them... Soul Night-"it's about the music innit".Wants to make it big in his own "local way".May often or not have his own internet radio station playing oldies from CD.Never had the records in the first place and had a few SOS boots from the eighties.Buys repro patches.says KTF a lot and organises a lot of charity doos and easter egg runs for the local scooter club. Giffer-Bald and in his fifties....reminisces about the Torch and that Frank Booper could dance.Ended when Wigan shut and he got married.After the divorce and pension found the scene still alive....he could now make his mark....buys all the ballads and mid tempo and deejays at the local soul nite to 20 people....there's still time...there's still time. Opportunist-Was a face back in the day...broke records....had an ear for a tune and got into selling double glazing in 1981.Sold all the records and in the 90's noticed the CD generation of northern.....got back into it but cannot afford/care about the records.Get's regular gigs on the oldies scene on his name. The Mod-It all went pear shaped for him in 1988...the mod scene was playing great black music then....everyone went San Francisco....he jumped ship and is still trying to influence the northern scene with his latin soul and r&b.May run a small night in a town centre. The Evangelist-Went to Wigan in 79/80.....Can be heard saying "Richard saved it from pop dross".Frothes at the mouth when saying "detroit rarity".Stuck it through the hard times and resents the new baggies and patches reborns.Still buys like mad and is into "rare soul" not northern as "northern " has pop connoctations.Loves saying "that's white pop" with a sneer and is on a higher level "keeping it soulfull".Is a proud soul snob. Anymore?

    What about Giffers.....fat bald blokes in their late fifties/sixties.....usually have an ailment of some sort.Wear trousers ordered out the back of the old News Of The World free mag...very into mid tempo/ballad soul and love to deejay.They are making up for the fact they didn't get a look in through the seventies...and keep feeding the dealers market of tunes nobody wanted back then.Crossover/beat ballads are often muttered by them and what's this old giffer playing is uttered by the crowd.Theres also the new type the plastic mod/Jimmy Cooper who can often be seen on a steed of this type.

    There was a re release......there were some unissued bits released as well on the Immediate label Traxters-Glandular fever being on the b side of a Crispian St Peters B Side.........organ instrumental.Just got the book on Immediate in a bargain book shop cheap.Had a crap grey boot of Everything...they made no attempt to make it look like a US legit release.Her Likely Piece Of Work on Polydor isn't bad.

    This love can't be denied..was it ever booted as I have seen.a styrene copy with a long run out.
  13. Wiggyflat
    I've had the Jason Cord in my pop collection for donkeys..Only ever played the Eyes side which is a dramatic orchestrated ballad....came out on the light green label.....I'm sure someone on RCA did it as well.

    Great dance music......more associated with the mod scene really.
  19. Wiggyflat
    Heres some of mine....just been sorting them out.....great music but northern soul....nah.
  20. Wiggyflat
    Anybody know if there were US releases on these......or British only.Did the Danny Williams get any action after Whose Little Girl?
  21. Wiggyflat
    Just got rid of the boot myself.....its on very flexible styrene with a wide lip at the edge into a bevel.....orig is a deeper red and straight edge and weighs a lot more....i'm sure there is a thread on it on here....will try and find the original.
  22. Wiggyflat
    Just out of interest what does Keb play off when he does his northern guest spots...got asked to dj at a party the other week and took a box of 50 45 s in an old plastic box....the audience loved the fact I was flicking through the covers pulling them out cueing up .......CDs are sooooo last millenium.
  23. Wiggyflat
    It's up to the promoters really.He must have told the promoters that he only had cd.s and they were okay with it.I wonder if he would have borrowed a collection if they said vinyl only.I can't imagine it would have been hard for him to source a box.
  24. Wiggyflat
    Northern Soul Folklore.............didn't dj Frank (Ian Dewhirst) get his teeth knocked out with a dimpled glass at the Mecca protecting the Soul Fox...it was all downhill from there.
