Northern Soul doesn't have to be Soul Music Dave, you know that. There are hundreds of superb non-soul Northern records.

Thanks Seb!

Okay I know who this is now, it's The Cymabline on Pye from 65 or 66 so not an unissued track. Dave K can you message me again cos I don;'t know what records you're referring to above.

Isn't one of the above a scumbag paedophile child molestor now living in the Far East?

For a few weeks there were several "Mecca" types, I remember the girls wearing dresses made out of bin liners and the lads wore big baggy sweaters and drainpipe jeans. They stood at the bootom left of the room if you were looking towards the stage.

Not for definite but it could have been keith Minshull because he was playing things like Miroslav Vitous - New York City for a short time

Cathedrals was played at Wigan, so was Salsoul 2001 or whatever it was called

Good for you Joe!

Yes mate thanks, posted today..

So do I Mark!

THE CONTENDERS - (YOU GOTTA) DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO - EDGE. NICE WIGAN OLDIE. ORIGINAL STAMPED STYRENE PRESS IN NEAR MINT NICK. £30 POST FREE.

Yes he does, Richard Searling's old copy, bought via John Anderson

Anyone else think this is an overrated mess of a record? Terrible muddy production, no tune, great sax break but does nothing for me, never did.

I sell loads of records for people on commission and it always starts that they're sad to see them go, as soon as they get the first thousand quid or whatever, they soon forget about the records and enjoy having the money! I was the same when I sold my British collection to enable me to set up as a business, it really hurt for a week or so, after that, I only thought about them as a commodity. I'm sitting on ten grands worth of UK records at the moment and honestly, I'd prefer the money to the records. I have a box of 200 records, assorted pressings, bootlegs, reissues, these are my 'own' records, all my old favourites, don't care what labels they're on - these are the ones I'd never sell.

This is no rarer than any other 70's pressing and why people choose to spend so much money on it always baffles me, I was asking £20 for it only a year ago BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE TO RIP PEOPLE OFF, the last one I had was someone else's and they asled me to ebay it, I think it sold for £40. Way too much. F*cking brilliant record though.

I've got loads of Mike Raven shows on reel to reel tape. I did put up an excerpt on here about 4 years ago. Sadly nearly all the dj bits have been cut out to leave just the music. What I do have though is a book in which Colin, the chap who made the tapes, wrote down every track that was played on the show for about a year. If I can find it I'll scan some of it if any interest.

So why is the run off on the b side different in size on the recent copies to that on the original copies? A mystery!

I agree - til all the instruments come in, certainly takes it up a few notches

The girl one is probably that one on US Audio Fidelity, sorry can't remember the girls name but I know I sold it for a ton on here not so long back, fabulous version. Rob there is a sound clip on my ebay link but still if that don't work...sorry I've had to cut it at the beginning and end 03 comin home baby.mp3

Cheers Simon but that's too early for it to be this.

Craig Moerer is a great guy and a top seller, his integrity is faultless in my opinion, however he should know the score with this Buster & Eddie record with all his experience and be honest about it, and if he didn't know because one of his employees was dealing with it, he should really be around to check their work.

I thought that myself, malibus demo should be about 125 dollars

Fed up of collecting these again as lack of funds keeps me from adding to them so am interested in selling the lot in one go, they add up to just over £10,100 going by the prices I've put next to them, I am quite conservative on prices and am usually spot-on with conditions, most of the EX records would be classed as mint or mint minus elsewhere. I AM NOT SELLING THE RECORDS INDIVIDUALLY - YET! If anyone's interested I'm looking at between 7 and 8 grand. I've also another 100 I can chuck in of £10 sort of things, james brown Londons, black Atlantics etc. ALADDIN DINAH LEE - I'LL FORGIVE YOU THEN FORGET YOU M 35 ALP POOR SOULS - PLEASE DON'T CHANGE YOUR MIND EX 100 ATLANTIC (RED) ARCHIE BELL & THE DRELLS - TIGHTEN UP (SMOL) EX 10 LITTLE MAC & THE BOSS SOUNDS - IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR (SMOL) EX 15 WILLIE TEE - WALKING UP A ONE WAY STREET EX 30 ATLANTIC (BLACK) BARBARA LEWIS - BABY I'M YOUR (WOL) EX- 10 ESTHER PHILLIPS - JUST SAY GOODBYE EX 75 BRUNSWICK LIZ SHELLEY - MAKE ME YOUR BABY VG+ 15 CAMEO PARKWAY DEMO LEN BARRY - HEARTS ARE TRUMP M- 25 JERRY JACKSON - IT'S ROUGH OUT THERE EX 250 CAMEO PARKWAY ISSUE CHUBBY CHECKER - YOU JUST DON'T KNOW EX 350 CBS DEMO JEANNIE LAMBE - DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY EX 30 THE TRICKS - WHAM!

Selling this ion Ebay, all the info is here https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120567201837 it came from someone who did the choreography on Ready Steady Go and he would be given the acetates to enable him to make up the dance routines. This is a Pye acetate which means it could have come out on any of their labels (Pye, Piccadilly, Hickory, cameo Parkway and so on) but it sounds 100% UK to me. Just wondered if anyone knows who it is.

He has done it, he admitted it and gave the guy his money back! Unless Phil is making it up - and why would he do that?
