Precisions - John Manships Auction
Issues are no more than £40 IMO, common record. Demo is harder but would have thought £75, ton tops.

Fabulous Nomads
I don't think it is the same as the "Something's Bad" group. The lead for that group was Sonny Threatt. There are several by the name Nomads.

Having been involved to some degree in nominating and getting someone an award from the queen (MBE for someone in football), I can assure you it is a quite lengthy process, takes about 18 months after submitting the nomination. The criteria is also quite strict, they don't give these awards to anyone and certainly not to someone who has played a few records down the dog and duck or even an all-nighter for a few years. I love to see Soul Sister Jane's nomination for an award like this and the reason why? I cannot think of anyone tbh who has been so prominent and done so much for the music for nearly 50 years? Take the rose tinted glasses off mind, being a personal favourite will not get them an award, they need to have given service to something for quite sometime. from the form....

If she thinks others are more worthy she can always begin the process to get them honoured.

2 posts from you and both on the topic about Richard, is that all you joined for to shit stir? Does it matter if others warrant recognition? There aren't many who have been doing it as long as Richard and done so much to promote the scene and the music as well through his shows, record labels and other work. It is as I told Richard, good that the music has got some much needed recognition as well.

Eric Lomax - Alias ?
There is another on Columbia, "Live Fast Die Young". Only on a demo though I believe. Both 45s written by Eric.

New Diggin’ Deep 45 (Jerry Miller)
Few vultures no doubt, £200 they have sold for so far. I buy them for the love of the music. A lot of them have gone abroad by all accounts.

It sold out within hours of the announcement yesterday

Ernest Baker - Label Variation ?
The top two the text/font differs. The top also has the label number The bottom one is the same as the middle one I think but can’t compare properly as its a flip. Looks like a faded label.

Carol Anderson....What Happened ?
This topic made me go and dig the cd out only to find I didn’t have it. I ordered one for about £7. Not read the notes yet but it is an excellent compilation of Carol’s work.

Why would you rather watch Jeremy Kyle? Perhaps you prefer the vulnerable being manipulated, humiliated and exploited?

Northern Soul - Film - 5 years on - Film4 Tue nite
Does it matter if she was there or not? Like you say you could have ten directors who were there making a film and nine would be wrong in the eyes of the other going by what you say. It is nigh on impossible to make a film depicting how it actually was today. She did a fantastic job getting the look right but it was never meant to represent any one specific year but simply an era wasn’t it? She also had some extremely in the know consultants, movers and shakers at the time and dancers of the time, from which by all accounts she took her lead. Obviously a bit of artistic licence was going to happen as it does on any movie. It is all to easy to sit and nit pick on a forum, we didn’t go through what they did to finance it, go to the extraordinary lengths to get it pretty much right and at least give the viewer an idea what it was like, many have said she managed by and large to do that. It was never going to satisfy some and I don’t think it set out to satisfy everyone, it is at the end of the day entertainment.

Northern Soul - Film - 5 years on - Film4 Tue nite
Mrs Northern Soul, you obviously don’t know Elaine. She has never made such a claim nor have I heard anyone proclaim that she is such. As fir making a bit of money, if she did, good for her. You obviously aren’t aware of the sacrifices Elaine and Marco made to finance the film. As for your last sentence, that is precisely what it was about for many wasn’t it? To say most didn’t go out and take whatever chemical enhancement they could get their hands on would be telling a few porkies. You can still do that and love the music, many did and some still do.

Most expensive "common" records
even though something was in a soul pack there might be very few copies. John A said on numerous occasions it was what he had to hand to clear space or two raise funds, slow sellers or records not en vogue. So he might have a handfiul of a title, 20 or so copies, that went in packs and subsequently became en vogue and not really turned up. So what was once a soul pack item isn't necessarily common. Common records fetching more than they should...Ringleaders, Soul Majestics, Ruby Andrews, Frank Beverley.....
