I know acts moonlight. But usually they are neglected artists at their labels. Timi was recording with some success. reading the above are you suggesting Geralene Sherry Toomer is in fact an alias for Timi? But If you want to belive it is Timi I'm not going to argue.

Ey up Peter. I remember them but I have some in the echoes you gave me so I can get the scans I need from there at the right quality. I alos have a ooan of some flyers on the way

Sherry sounds nothing like Timi to these cloth ears. Granted on Look Out Love the lead does. But there is nothing in any Timi Yuro bio to suggest it is her which if it is I find strange. Timi was also under contract to either Liberty or Mercury at the time.

Shaun is definitely on my list of people to talk to. If you can give a heads up or even get an email or some form of contact for me it eould be appreciated. Thanks.

It isn't about what we always wish to hear out and there is more than just "us" out there. There are many thousands who have nothing to do with the UK Northern Soul Scene which many seem to think that is all there is and certainly what it is all about There are many collectors who don't go out, who aren't part of the scene, who collect the labels as well as the music. Strangely there are people who like records like this who don't always want to hear a 100 mph stomper that has been hammered for 50 years It is quite evident from the discussion that there is an interest. I don't see any kudos being created, I haven't really seen anyone raving over it, just an attempt to prove its authenticity, if it is real and how to tell its real.

A better scan of Harry & Vee Vee for you

There are plenty of errors in Soul Harmony Singles though Drew.

I would imagine it is done when the record is pressed, I can't imagine any printer printing like that.

Does anyone have a listing for Jenges and the associated labels with the colours of the releases etc?

what year were these? I had some at one time.

Some more scans of originals for you to peruse

I will check what I've got. I definately have the one that didn't happen, Belle Vue. I should have Abraham Moss.

Dont have many for your promotions mate, so if you have any

Think Guy Hennigsn selling one.

here you go, the ALCO matrix. The 2/5 or 2/9 is actually an a, l & c.

And it isn't the Monarch Pressing plant Triangle. It is the Greek Delta sign. Monarch is MR or MR in a circle!

The 2/5 in a circle could actually be an 'a' with the slash being the 'L' and the 5 or also seen as a 9 being the 'c', therefore an ALCO press who also used the Delta numbering system.

C'mon there is plenty of promoters and ex promoters on here, surely some of =you have something to offer?

You can also get a full refund if not happy.

It sure will, looking forward to it though. The more help I get he easier it will be though. I also need photos of venues and people, particularly on the dance floor. 300dpi or again a loan would be great.

I also need help from my friends worldwide as I will dedicate time in the book to the scene outside of the UK. So if you promoted an event worldwide please PM me with the details, dates, flyers etc.

Very good mate. I will see how things are and if home, hopefully pop up for a beer or two

After the article was well received I've been persuaded to write the book. I will shortly be getting stuck into the research bit (already started for one or two areas/venues) and need some help with venues. I would like to include as many as possible, especially if they ran for any length of time. I'm after all-nighter promotions to begin with but in time I will include influential soul nights, all-dayers and weekenders. So basically please get in touch. I need dates when the promotion started and finished, music policy, djs and any other information that you might think useful. Scans of any flyers at 300dpi would be great or if you can't scan a loan of any material with the promise of a return by recorded post. I would like to make this as comprehensive was possible so any help will be greatly appreciated. If you didn't promote but have any flyers for venues post Wigan, particularly 1990 up to today scans would be brilliant. Again if you cannot scan them then maybe a loan of any material with the promise of recorded post return. I will also include a chapter covering the influential DJ's of the last 35 years or so. So if you were one of them I will be in touch. Please PM and I will pass on my contact details. Many thanks Chalky

There's another press of the JE Morgan on M.G.S. where his name is spelt JE Morsan.

The delta numbering sytem was used by several companies. If it is a monarch press it would have MR in a circle. Then come the delta number, the triangle followed by the number. ALCO also used the same sytsem , ALC inside a cirlce followed by tne triangle then the number. X denotes the b side.
