Ernie Andrews

No His friend is confused as to How they sound on Thanks for alittle lovin (which imo sounds black) and The Big parade which sounds totally white and sounds like it was made for the 60s surf /beach scene. Please listen to both and see what you think. regards Steve

Ok here I come with Bull in a china shop approach! The Northern scene has never said it was a black soul music genre only as you could list hundreds of records that move people sang by white folks or white folks whose intention was not to sing soul - eg; The Rainbows - help me if you can - This was never intended as a soul record but a beach record but hey it fitted the criteria of Northern soul in the 70s. So did the Rainbows move me - yes it did - to get up and dance like a lunatic. Made me feel happy inside! If you want an artist that sings from the soul and the words and lyrics move you - It doesnt have to be soul music. Example - Francis Dunnery(Formerly of Rock indie band -It Bites) solo Lp Fearless - There are 2 songs on that album I want playing at my funeral because I feel great affinity with the songs and want someone to remember me through those tracks at what will be an emotional time. Many soul records move me with my favourites being by Ernie Andrews - Who else! and on the whole its soul records that form the majority of tunes that move me in one way or another. But its a slim majoirty!

seems ok to me Jules Used to get the odd one that was Reddish writing rather than the standard Brown. Not sure how many times its been booted People were very wary of boot Compass demos cos they did look like the originals at first galnce so If you have an issue its the safest thing to have and the price is no different from the demo. This record has never really gone up in price in recent years - Still hovers around the £100 mark for an mint minus one.

She was singing it on some TV programme the other night - Think it was the lottery programme - Nice and the record aint bad either

Once upon a time I djd at the Band on the Wall - one of the goups on were the Frantic elevators (I remember one of the others being A certain ratio) Obviously I played maily indi discs but slotted in the odd Northern record. I played the Instigations version of I dont wanna discuss it! Mick Hucknall came up to me and asked if it was Little Richard to which I said no and showed him the record. WE then had brief discussion about uptempo soul records which he said he had great admiration for! So if a musician of his standing wants to do something like that 30 years after who are we to judge. Nobody complained about Mike McDonald doin the Motown album. I am sure he will do a credible job. I think Look at me now off the first Simply red album was based on an old Northern tune but cannot rember which

January 1980 - Take my large box to Wigan as I had just started as a student nurse and was fed up of the Drugs involved in the scene. Out of the records I sold was all the compass stuff on issue & demo and the Ohio players test press. Del larks (Got £62 for that) Most of the Canadian epic stuff Oh God it would take too long - Surfice to say I got just under £1900 in one night and was left with 6 records including Pete Warner which I sold to Pete S in 2000 The other 5 which included touch of venus on awhite Champion demo i swapped for a couple of Rock lps in a second hand record shop in reading. I still have nightmares of what it is all worth now. I could never attain the same level of rarity /cost factor today. What did I spen the money on? A brand new Motorcycle / leathers helmet The lot and had a holiday and bought some clothes and a fish tank

Never been booted to my knowledge. Prefer it on Pye would mind a pye demo

Funny - mOst of her King soul discs are quite easy to obtain apart from the Youve got to pay the price

Chris Im amazed - This to me is a classic oldie - Played to death in the 70s

The simple ones are carl douglas - pressing Del larks - As far as Im aware no White demo so thats apressing Bronzettes was never booted so should be ok original. Doug banks same as bronzettes Without pics for others - You need to give more info

This was the standard way the Americans kept records in the 60s and early 70s as they would take them to parties to play. Some of these cases are very rare with logos on them of record companies and even Beatles ones etc- They go for quite abit. Even Motown had their logo on some.

I did a thread a couple of weeks ago - Tunes that you cant get out of your head and guess what the tune was ? Yes The Magicians - keep your hands off my baby! £20 record that is just pure dancing madness- Reminds me of the servicemen - are you angry in the sense that its ll over the place at times! But sheer brilliance

Hi Johnny - remeber hearing OOOh baby I believe Im losing you- for the first time. Good times and memories.

Sorry tim forgot to reply to your PM - CD recorder held for you till the end of the month regards Steve

What is this all about- If Motherfunk owns the rights then he is a fool for giving anyone the master unleess he has in writing that the person who he gave it to must not divulge the content to a wide audience other than personal listening eg Him & His mates! If Motherfunk doesnt own the rights then its got nothing to do with him and is just sour grapes. P.S Motherfunk dont use the common phrase of I got 1000 witnesses because in reality everyone only has a very few friends who are willing to stand in a court to support you! JT smack on the Bottom if you knowingly betrayed a confidence. If Not Post the F**king thing up again as I missed it!

Cheers Wiganer- How about we tot up on Tuesday?

Pmd you mate! oooooh baby I believe Im losing you!

Shall we have alittle bet on this then for amusement sake. Whoever loses has to send the other a record (Own choice of the sender) Game on ? I have a sneaky suspicion I might do a Rangers and win it on penalties

Fabulous record but I can understand when people say they have heard it too many times- Yes the Gasher has one but Ive heard it thousands of times-WHY? Because the Gasher had it as his Ring tone and it drove me bloody crazy! Dont know what his ring tone is now but I can guess its either the Limelights or the NU-Rons. or it soon will be! Mind you he must be fed up of hearing my ring tone - Jeanette White - Music

Cannot get the link to this as I am at work and they block ebay Which one is it. P>S have you posted Christine Quaite yet? LOL Steve

Im surprised Dave Thorley hasnt made a contribution to this thread as he told us some really funny and hair raising stories especially about the one in the Deep south and it was so hot he took off his tshirt and forgot to pick it up as he left a certain shop/cafe. Only to return ayear or so later and a Guy is walking down the road with Daves actual t-shirt on.

Could never rember Ricks name thats why I called him Richard and not RSearling of course When did Rick find Mr Big Shot as I pulled 3 out of a box and then passed it to Rick but this might have been much later. God its so long ago. At the time I was also in a rock band so I had quite abit of knowledge about rock music and thats why I got the part time job. I worked not far from Oxford road so it took me just 5 miutes to get to Global although I lived out at SWinton. What was Sizs name who worked at Stolen from Ivor - he was the one who came in with the box full of British from the big find.

When I was young and working at global just Fiday eve and sats I went through thousands of boxes and have admitted in the past that I must have crushed lots of what are now rare soul records (I know I should be shot). Anyhow I was supposed to be going with Richard (Not searling) to New York to order boxes of discs etc look through . This would be 1974/5. My parents put a block on me going and just as well as Richard got mugged and ended up in hospital for few days. Move forward 30 years and I get to eventually go to New York. gets in the record shop with loads of racks for 45s but non in them. I ask if he has any 45s and says yes in the back but my boss has not decided what to do with them come back friday which I did. I show the Boss the coulor of my money about $1200 as I had spent abit at Strider and other places. The Guy says hes not selling as he hasnt decided. - Ok I buy half a dozen Lps and walk out dissapointed. A Month or so later Steve Bouden emails me from France telling me hes just gone into the same shop and got a copy of the Sillouhettes - Not me baby for $1.00 - I am in tears Spent 8 days raking through thousands of records with little luck apart from meeting Peter Brown(having lunch and talking about P&P records PAP records and Patrick Adams) and being given some records by him and Mr Bouden is in for 1 hour and gets an £800 record Thems the brakes

So refreshing to hear you say you get a buzz John being a dealer and so many years in the business. When I was at global I didnt have the same feeling as I do now- Maybe because it was about just selling and only getting a discount if I wanted something. When I find something now I get such a buzz - even the small hauls like in Dublin 3 years ago (40 records) really made me feel wonderful! Record collectors weird? no just bloody obsessive!
