Northern Soul Newbie
If you are new to this you won't need any recommendations, you find dozens yourself by the week. There are some good sellers and dealers out there. However, Most aren't cheap, they want the going rate more often than not, many are top whack cause they paid that. Do your homework and look round. Ask any question not matter how daft it might seem. the internet is a great resource, use it to your advantage.

Dave Godin Article from 1975
Both went to Dartford Grammar School and Godin introduced Jagger to R&B, apparently.

don't dismiss the likes of discogs, best place to buy Lps really if that is what you are collecting. Recommendations are fine but take time to look around. Shops for instance have overheads and can be a little more expensive. Put up wants here, and various Facebook groups, usually someone will satisfy most wants.

The Guardian's take on a NS top 10
If Stop Girl hadn't been mentioned, probably Wayne Gibson & Mike Post also, I doubt they would have featured in anyone's top ten. I am well aware of the history (as Pete mentions) of such tracks but that was in the mid 70s.As for AOTR being soul

The Guardian's take on a NS top 10
It says "Northern Soul - Ten Of The Best" that is stretching it a little don't you think, certainly some of the choices.

J Manship Auction Results 23/08/2017
Gene Woodbury is getting almost twice what it has been selling for. Edward Hamilton is just plain barmy for something that isn't even rare. Some desperate people out there it would seem.

The Guardian's take on a NS top 10
Whilst I agree any top ten is subjective, I said as much on the guardian page, I doubt very much you will hear Wayne Gibson at many venues, it certainly wouldn't be a top ten choice for too many, the same for 7 Dwarfs except Zed1 Fascinations, top ten, really? I doubt those three would make the top 500? two or three others I doubt would make a top ten although they might in a some peoples choices. I can think of a couple of 100 that would make better choices.

discogs crack down on boots
I would imagine it is all to do with the resurgent interest in music and vinyl and the record companies taking a more active role in bootlegs. They have probably had some sort of warning from the authorities about them facilitating crime. All are still viewable via their database as they are primarily or were a reference site.

Tony Blackburn - Sound of the 60's
Don't think he was a regular was he? The show used someone different every week mid to late 80s. Brian Matthew took over in 1990 from Simon Dee who'd been presenting for a year or so? Keith Fordyce was the original present, 1983-85.

Tony Blackburn - Sound of the 60's
He must have a liking for soul as quite a bit is programmed into the shows he produces, even going back to SOTS with Brian Matthew. I think he is just a lover of music though rather than anyone one genre.
