Great bit of history about one song thanks - I'm not too keen on the Dick Dale version but all the others are OK.

Thanks for this - it has to be the album version (but with the audience noise added)

Thanks guys - I suspected that it wasn't a live version as it was too much like the vinyl.

Yes my issue copy has the Egyptian sounds too. I think the one on YT sounds as if it was done live (the applause at start + end) but if it is actually a live version it is a very good one.

Can anyone tell me if this (extended) version of I've Got Love For My Baby came out on vinyl?

Where do you start with this thread - it could go on for ages!

Highly recommended from me is "What More Can A Woman Do" which has loads of very listenable mid tempo stuff. https://www.discogs.com/Various-What-More-Can-A-Woman-Do-Brunswick-And-Chi-Sound-Sisters-Of-Soul/release/6061438

Nice one by the Auditions - Returning Home From Vietnam

I can't do a proper pic of the one by Primitive as I sold my copy a couple of years ago.

Another one that always brought a smile to my face.

Surprised I haven't seen Sitting In The Park by Billy Stewart yet. It has no hot weather or Summer reference in the title but to me it has that aura of Summer - if you know what I mean. Just like these two by Soft Touch & Total Unity!

Happiness Is Here by Tobi Lark always used to make me smile. I seem to recall it was absolutely massive for what seemed like a couple of years then I never heard it out again.

Wendy Rene sounds really miserable on these two tracks - don't think they came out on vinyl though?

Still have two outstanding wants if anyone can help pls? The Mansion - The Girl Next door - Gibbs Royal Chessmen - Begging You - Custom Fidelity

What a great thread this is, I've just spent the last 2 hours playing all the selections. There are quite a few on here that I could easily put as my 1st selection on any other day but today it's "Love's In Need Of Love Today"

Yes I missed out also last night big time! - my snipe never even registered! Yes the demo has both sides but I would like the issue too but I'm not going to pay $1200 for the one on discogs.

I'm looking for a VG++ or M- issue copy of Do Just What You Can / Mr. Heartaches & Miss Tears. Will swap for a M- demo copy. Thanks Tony

Edie Walker - Good Guys - now this is a guilty pleasure from way back!

I haven't bought a Northern record for ages but I'd love the Arin Demain 45- but even the customs charges would be a few hundred quid? You can't really ask him to put a $10 value on something like this can you?

The Singing Swinging Counts - Along The Way

I did indeed Andy and what a great article it was (and your CD sleeve notes) And yes she was stunning and a voice like the proverbial songbird! I love the fact that she has the phrase "Believe Me" (which isn't that very common in songs) in "She Went Away"

I'm selling all my records over the next 6 months apart from one box that holds about 60. Most of the ones I'm keeping are so cheap they are not really worth selling but out of the other ones the very last one to go would be Linda & The Pretenders "Believe Me"

Are you selling it? (PM sent yesterday)

As mentioned it is so difficult to come up with a greatest NS artist and there are some pretty strong candidates suggested already. Given that I can only have the one "greatest" I would go for Smokey/Miracles. Not immediately identifiable as a NS artist as in the Major Lance / Lorraine Chandler mould but he did make, and wrote, some outstanding tracks that were played on the scene. Apart from that, his works are the ones I always go back to when I start getting a bit bored with the NS stuff.

I like it - one of the top Northern tracks c/w a perfect deep sound.
