totally agree with that, great time, right up to 99 when the London scene really got good..

Just checked their site out, no G-Zip, bugger all optimization, no wonder it takes an age to load.. good site though.. but they are letting them selves down on simple stuff.. However, I think Steve was referring to another book by Andy Dyson...

thats just got two swirling circles Pete..

you maybe in luck Patto... https://www.techtimes.com/articles/81733/20150905/panasonic-plans-resurrect-technics-turntable-series.htm

I think I'll should keep to the Buckinghamshire hills Mark..

Thats done it, I was looking to buy another copy of that one, when did Epitome of Sound had gone for a grand? M

I Think their version of 'Make it sweet' stands head and shoulders over Coke Escovedo's, and the flip 'We All Have Our Own Lives' really is a big favorite of mine, thats actually the side I bought the 45 for.. my god I'm dissin Coke Escovedo...sacrilege..

here's what I have on my i Tunes, it aint print quality, but will look nice while you beaver away on your machine..

do you have a scan? Mal

before I scrolled down I had £600 in mind, right in the middle...

Saw this on Ebay, I thought it was Canadian recording, dunno, clear hoax, or was this actually cut there, I doubt it personally... Northern Soul 45 With Beatles Related Interest Eddie Spencer-If This Is Love- Abbey Road Test Press This item was recorded at the famous Abbey Road studios in London and this is the original, and probably only Emi disc/Acetate cut at the studio.

hey frank, An Aussie boot, made to look like a Aussie test press, well it fooled the bloke I bought it off, and me! never come across any Aussie boots... As for the group of labels, would it be right to say most got their 45's pressed at the same plant? Ive asked about but info has always been scant...

:-)) Been smiling at these two all week, Aussie Test Pressing and demo of the classic Bob Kuban and the IN-MEN - The Cheater. Read that Festival didn't make too many test presses, upto 6 to test the process, so they are very rare... and this NZ Okaysions, not a rare record at all, but dig that sleeve, I had to have it...

I'm relatively young, just 36, ish.... And I've seen this a few times, So to quote a famous book, and the opening line of the a certain film "All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again" ... and if you can imagine that said in a very eloquent way over the Joe 80 Theme, that may go some way to explain the wired parallel universe that is Northern soul....

Is this written in comic sans font? Just to let you know that Safari doesn't display the font, basically it comes out as something very ornate and pretty unreadable. So that's all safari / iPhone users can't read your posts... Don't know whether Mike would consider 'marker pen' as an alternative for safari? Something like this in the CSS? { font-family: 'comic sans MS' , 'marker pen' , sans-serif; } I can just about make out appreciations, 7ts boot right, is it vinyl? Mal

Robbie MItchell & Darryl Patterson - No One Can Do The Things You Do - ABC/TRC....VG+ £30 Killer Crossover with a deep soul flip Id love to hear this one, dont know it.. Mal

My GOD! still there at a tenner? 'Worlds Funkiest Band---When your alone---California Gold---Ex---£10' I could buy records like this at a tenner every day for the rest of my like, if only!!!

that is sad news, RIP Peace George...assume he's the same guy recorded the below track?

ten a penny this one, great track, but you can get demo's issues very easily.. worth £15 maybe for a minter..

The Imperial Wonders - You Only Live Once / Solid Foundation must be mint, must be original. Cheers all. mal:_)

The first track is Johnny Thomson - Given Up On Love on Jay-Tee, and Lady L – was recent release, tracks were 'Tonite ' and 'Loves Master Plan' great track... JT worth 70-100 i guess, sold mine some years back for £70.. good luck mate

Anybody got one of these I can get from the uk? prefer not to pay post and import tax from oz.. THE AUSTRALIAN VINYL RECORD GUIDE A PRICE GUIDE TO AUSTRALIAN VINYL RECORDSFIRST EDITION Newly published by Black Wax Publishing (June 2015). ISBN 9 780994 267405 Compiled by K. Cleasby. Mal

Gettin' To Me is a brilliant record, absolute Northern Soul Anthem, but I never heard of, or read anything from Ben E King on this track or session, has he ever commented on it? Ive probably missed it, but be nice to see what the reaction was from him on it...

The Sweet & Innocent & The Memphis Mustanges - Cry Love anybody got this on ACT IV Records... Mal

wow, that Bobby Wilson is the business on red / white...
