If Only I Still Had
Too many to remember... Monique Matt Lucas Bernie Williams Sam Williams Moses Dillard - Pay the price Tommy Bush (bought at least 3 of these for under £10) Lou Ragland (sold for £5 to pep) lenny Curtis (sold for £5 at the Old Vic) Vickie Baines issue Dean Courtney MGM issue except nowadays when you can cut your own records for a few quid, it doesn't matter anymore, at least you can get a record to play indoors (or out)

Another Ebay Item
But the astonishing thing about all this is that someone would actually pay more than £10 for this pile of shite. The absolute pits. Makes Wombat sound like a soul classic. 1) he can't sing in tune 2) the instruments are out of tune 3) it's f*cking awful

New Cd Release
I don't know if the material is drying up but the new 50 track cd Golden Age Of NS vol 2 has at 33 tracks that have already appeared on cd. What's the strategy behind this?

I Can't Take No More-pop Version
David Balfe?? Surely not of "Teardrop Explodes" fame, he must have only been about 12 years old then! As for where they hear it - same as over here I guess, acetates sent from songwriters to publishing companies and then given to management for their clients.

Baby Love
I might be a day out either side mate, that was some weekend for me cos on the friday I "did it with a lady" for the first time and the next night I went to Wigan for the first time...I was a bit pleased with myself

I Can't Take No More-pop Version
Off the top of my head, I think the writers were Mason/Reed, I noticed this first time I ever saw the Ted Wilson label, therefore the Jason Cord is the original as these two were major purveyors of 60's UK pop.

58 Records, Dealers/box Fillers, Sell As Job Lot
I would have definitely had these but I've got to pay for 70 ska records, if they are still there next week, I'll have them

Baby Love
No Steve it was 100% definitely The Supremes, I had the tape I did for years after and played it a lot.

Baby Love
Thats weird, the first time I ever went to Wigan, Evison played that and I couldn't believe it. Still can't ...

George Blackwell?
Careful with this one though, there's also a brilliant lookalike vinyl boot which is very rare, would pass off as an original except (like the monarch press) it has p.b. in the run off

Broken Records Through The Post

Johnny Howard - The Chase Is On
A few days maybe. The only DJ I ever heard play it was John Manship (of all people) p.s. in 1972-73 I was 12-13 so couldn't get to many venues unless I saved my dinner money

Best Northern Sound Heard
I was at a match at Molineux in 1982 and for some reason the dj played "Sherry" by Hugo Montenegro!!!!

Johnny Howard - The Chase Is On
Nah I don't get it, very poor then and now

Debuts On Scudder
No, I thought it would be funny to say "there's no such record" for no reason at all. In fact I laughed out loud when I read it back. Little things please little minds
-
Charletta
This is the same as the one I've got. Got a perfect recording of it if anyone wants a dub cut. Personally, I think it's crap.

Something A Little Different
What was it anyway? p.s. Proberley

Northern Soul Hall Of Fame
Kev, I don't know if this is true but I was told by someone who'd met him that Mr Wiggles was the black equivalent of a redneck and he detested white people!

Something A Little Different
I like the backing but the singer is awful. Keeps going flat.
