Came out on UK black Capitol, couldn't even get £20 for it, though I've seen it for £50 on a website.

I'll always outbid you when your maximum bid is only £5

Couldn't make head or tail of it sorry

Possibly the most reissued record ever, when I bought it in 1972 it was on a white reissue Blue Beat label, it's on pink, green, pale blue, purple, olive and goodness knows what other colours, also reissued on Fab. As a 12 year old, when I first heard it blew my mind and I still remember that thrill when I play it on rare occasions today.

It was reviewed in Blacj Echoes, played a week later at Wigan, just the one week from what I can remember, and bootlegged the following week, the (better) B side was never played at that time which was surprising. I think it was originally an East Coast spin as Ian says, Soul Sam had it.

When it c\me out it was thought to be a boot as the instrumental version was previously unreleased, but then the same coupling came out on UK DJM so maybe it was legit...

Tenner on each of them. Might get £15 on the Jayboy if you're lucky. Actually Bob Kuban more like a fiver, was a chart hit in the States.

I've got a much longer version than that, doesn't it show them going into the club?

MIDNITE R & B PARTY https://www.mixcloud.com/mayfairmenthol/midnite-r-b-party/ A collection of rocking Rhythm & Blues from the 50's and 60's, screamers, shouters, tough women and sleazy instrumentals! Great fun. Baby Huey & The Babysitters - Messin' With the Kid Kelly Gordon - Tears, Tears Willie Jones - Where's My Money_ Al Garris - That's All Betty James - I'm A Little Mixed Up Nathaniel Mayer & The Fabulous Twilights - Village Of Love Birmingham Junior - You're Too Bad Dorothy Berry - You're Driving Me Crazy Junior Gordon - Call the Doctor Rosco Gordon -Just A Little Bit Googie Rene Combo - The Slide Dinah Washington - Fat Daddy Luther Thomas - Who Slipped Out When I Walked In Chuck Higgins - Sorry 'Bout That Little Joe Hinton - Let's Start a Romance Little Leo - What's It All About Tiny Bradshaw - I'm Going To Have Myself A Ball The Howlin' Wolf - How Many More Years Billy Gayles - I'm hurtin' Roy Lee Johnson - Two Doors Down Billy Love - Juiced

Paradoxically, others stopped going because of the amount of Modern Soul being played from late 78 onwards. I'd take Eddie Regan over King Tutt any day.

$25 is a good price, I sell this for £25 - £30, really brilliant version.

Ah I didn't notice that - Paul Howitt of course being Paula Durante's real name

Dave, click that link and in the top left should be a small version of the Shrine label, that hides the PLAY button. If you want to download it to listen to later, go right to the bottom left of the page and there is a download link. Or you can also click the link below and listen to it there but there is no download, just a listening facility https://www.mixcloud.com/mayfairmenthol/northern-soul-floorpackers/

Lucky to get 50p for it in that state!

If this lot don't get your feet tapping, nothing will...aimed squarely at the dancefloor, I wish I could keep up with the likes of Joe Hicks nowadays! I'm convinced that the last record by Reggie Alexander is actually by Andy Williams, sounds exactly like him. Hope you enjoy it anyway. https://podcast9122525417.podomatic.com/entry/2011-05-05T07_22_57-07_00 THE PHRENETICS BAND - MICHIGAN MOVE - ACETATE GERRI HALL - WHO CAN I RUN TO - HOT LINE THE FI DELS - TRY A LITTLE HARDER - KEYMEN THE PROPHETS (ORIGINALS) - SUSPICION - BOOT THE ENCHANTMENTS - I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR DAUGHTER - FARO THE PARLIAMENTS - HEART TROUBLE - GOLDEN WORLD LARRY ALLEN - CAN'T WE TALK IT OVER - GREEN DOLPHIN LITTLE ANN - WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO FOOL - KENT THE MONITORS - CRYING IN THE NIGHT - MOTOWN THE OLYMPICS - THE SAME OLD THING - MIRWOOD TY KARIM - YOU REALLY MADE IT GOOD - SENATOR THE NOMADS - SOMETHIN'S BAD - MO GROOV THE INSPIRATIONS - YOU WISH IS MY COMMAND - MIDAS RAY POLLARD - THIS TIME - SHRINE ARIN DEMAIN - SILENT TREATMENT - BLUE STAR FORTSON & SCOTT - SWEET LOVER - PZAZZ EDDIE DAYE & FOUR BARS - GUESS WHO LOVES YOU - SHRINE INNOCENT BYSTANDERS - FRANTIC ESCAPE - ATLANTIC THE HIGH KEYS - LIVING A LIE - VERVE JOE HICKS - DON'T IT MAKE YOU FEEL FUNKY - AGC EDDIE PARKER - I'M GONE - AWAKE JOHNNY VANELLI - SEVEN DAYS OF LOVING YOU - PRE VUE DON RAY - BORN A LOSER - RCA DETROIT SOUL - ALL OF MY LIFE - MUSIC TOWN STANLEY MITCHELL - GET IT BABY - DYNAMO VICKIE BAINES - COUNTRY GIRL - PARKWAY LOU RAGLAND - I TRAVEL ALONE - AMY THE BELLES - DON'T PRETEND - MIRWOOD LINDA ELLIOT - FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU BABY - JOSIE REGGIE ALEXANDER - IT'S OVER - BOSS

In 88 or 89 Channel 4 started staying on the air much later than was the norm at the time and it was shown early one morning sort of 3AM time I think.

Some great dancing on there, but why all the acrobatics, I'll never understand that...it died out by 1976 apart from spins.

I've ironed loads of warps out of records. Some work, some don't, I never know what the best temperature is to do it at. I put a couple of tea towels over the record, damp them a little, then just press down...someone out there has an Adams Apples issue that I ironed...

Some of you really do get your knickers in a twist over absolutely nothing don't you, a 5 minute fluff piece, nothing wrong with it, very enjoyable for people like my Mom who remembers me and mates going off to Wigan every week, Russ & Sandy not the best experts they could have had on but so what? As I keep saying; the only way you're going to get a film that you all like, is to make one yourself. Get a video camera, go and interview the 50 most influential movers and shakers on the scene right at this moment, then you'll have an accurate record of what NS was about in 2011.

That was on one of my original Northern Soul on DVD compilations many many years ago.

I've now seen Yum Yums, Del Larks and Eddie Parker pressings go for over £100 each, so if anyone wants a real bargain, they can have all 3 off me for £250, you know it's worth it p.s. I will throw in John & The Weirdest for £40
