Tragic news, Simon was a true one-off and a rare soul man to the core RIP x

Nice liner notes too

If anyone sells it for that you're gonna wreck their life

That seems cheap Graham !

No its " I can't believe its not better"........

Dave Welding has an interesting theory on this record ! Are you there Louise ?

sold

A quick shout up Pat Brady will be on John Kane's Northern Soul show on BBC Radio Leeds this Saturday, playing a superb TOP 10 current and all time favourites include many rare items that have never featured on the show before. Don't miss it 6pm to 8pm available to listen on line via the BBC i player and on BBC Radio's Leeds/ Sheffiled/ Humberside on FM Radio

Guilty as charged sir !

THAT VOICE when Marvin Junior walked out on to the stage to join the others !

Me too always in my top 3 no matter how it changes around ! They were just on the brink of international stardom Fabulous !

Agree Rick I introduced Jesse James at Hull in the small room he even sat nest to my ex-wife singing to her LOL old smoothie ! And if you've seen the video of Sam Dees at Thorne, I took it ! Tats had a video camera back then ! A very very foggy night, the busiest the room had ever been, but still only 100 in, I've heard that many people say they were there there must have been 1000 ! we know the truth Rob

Melvin Davis wrote the song in 15 mins for Mike Theodor (Melvin apparently had the horn intro in his head for weeks before hand) Ann was a 14 year old talent contest winner and the prize was to cut a record. The artist, song and record disappeared without trace........until being played over here !

Oh dear but a nice White Demo which will always be in demand from collectors !

Missed this, but got Goosebumps having known the guys for 15 years now. I hope their dreams finally come true as a nicer bunch you couldn't wish to meet Rob

Mr Northern always likes a Demo !

Soul Town ! John Hillyard once said to me "You British collectors send me your want lists and the first record at the top of the list is always a Bootleg" Ray Agee "I'm losing again" Soul Town ! Makes you wonder ! Rob

Echo all the above, well picked through, I was there last year, got a few small bits but nothing to shout about ! Not like the 80s eh ! Rob

Memories from the time, 1975/76 I was working in Mansfield, It was a Wednesday and "Half day closing" for shops (Remember that ?), Phil Kingswood worked in Syd Booths Soul Centre in Mansfield at the time. I used to go there and look through the cheap section whilst it was quiet. He had access to all sorts of release sheets and distributors who stocked import LPs. He had found the Mystic Moods Album with Astral Trip on and ordered a couple of copies for the shop. When they arrived it had been recorded in "Quadrophonic Sound" ! Syd Booths also had an associated Hi-Fi Shop on Queens Street in Mansfield, we were heading for a drink at The Swan so called in at the shop, which was pushing the Quadrophonic Systems, put Astral Trip on, stood in the centre of 4 speakers and listened ! I remember the sound "Rushing " around the room sounding absolutely brilliant, I can certainly imagine it "Blowing the mind" of anyone on Acid at the time ! I still like the record, but as Barry says maybe it was because I was there at the time ? Rob PS a little later he also found Sammy Davis Jnrs Vocal to Hawaii 5 0 on an Album and ordered that in !

I thought it is Ady Pierce ? He's hit a rich seam of MINT demos recently ! (Yum Yums)

Always loved it ! I think £5 might of been cheap possibly £7 lol take care Rich !
