Sort of 😜 although I couldn’t tell you one song of his or theirs, I have no interest whatsoever in their music, well any music outside soul etc.

Who is Jack White?

Most talked about single, amongst who? A small circle of collectors in the grand scheme of things, that’s who. To the vast majority I doubt they even care if they see this in a glass case at Motown. Most would be more interested in Michael Jacksons glove although I’m not sure what that has to do with Motown as by the time he was wearing it he’d left! I would imagine the buliding, the studio, where and how the music was made is of more interest to most. The hype from the very beginning surrounding this has been ridiculous.

The aim I believe is June and the Blackpool Soul Festival.

It was a private sale not an auction as such. She got an offer and accepted it. There was no transparency like the last auction so doubt we will ge to know unless the buyer tells us.

I have spoken to a few collectors, serious ones too and they don’t seem that interested by it and all said it wouldn’t be as desirable as one with a label.

Its exactly the same as the others except pressed at a different plant

Why do people think this is more desirable than the actual issue with the label on? After all that is all it is minus the label?

As said it looks like a boot. What is in the deadwax/run out?

How do we know it is Betty Willis the singer who is of interest to us? It is a shame whoever it is.. R.I.P.

Merry Christmas and a happy soulful 2018 to you all.

Didn’t they do some box sets not so long ago with most of the material?

Here is the one on ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Northern-Soul-Repro-Golden-Torch-Stoke-On-Trent-Flyer-Patch-from-1970s-/311707978305 i think all the number 1’s refers to the spinners/djs

The one on ebay looks more authentic even though a repro. March 16th 1973, thats when the license was refused so I guess not long after was the end.

Those dates correspond woth 1973,the same poster is also on ebay as a repro

Feel The Need In Me was first in the charts in 1972.....

The Charades on MGM were James T Mack (John Mach), Cuba Gooding Snr, Howard Fowles and George Staley.

Most decent mixers will have the monitor levels from which you should pick up the sound visially as it kicks in

I got the book from wordery for £36

Highly recommend Dean Anderson’s TNT Soul Show every Thursday at 8 on Radio Newark. Top quality music and guests.

Would they have been a later Mr M’s play as oldies?

The anniversary 45 was a couple of years later in 1986. It was the 2nd time a 45 was given away.

Thawas a bit later wasn’t it, 3 maybe 4 years?

Was first played 84/85 but yes the anniversary single was the 5th or 6th anniversary in 86.
