if they had asked for EOS on one of the various forums/groups and offered a couple of hundred they would probably have had a few offers of a copy. It isn't even rare. -
I have plenty of flyers etc from the 80's onwards
-
If you offered 200 quid for EOS you'd probably get several offers of a copy. There is no rhyme or reason to the market right now, totally crazy. You only have to see some current auctions with records I wouldn't even have considered an auction item and far from rare fetching as much as or near to genuinely rare items.
-
That's three known copies, or copies I know of then You have to smile when you see a bargain like this and then some fool paying over 800 quid for epitome of Sound
-
Top marks to you Dave. It's one of the genuine rarest of the rare IMO, great record as well.

Neither do venue owners want the baggage that comes with a Northern Soul allnigther. Potential licence problems, drugs, police interest, additional wages etc etc....
-
I only know of one copy, Butch has it which I've seen but cannot remember evry detail.

Weldon provided the photos didn't he, he more than likely knew nothing of the text in the book. Still say the author simply made an assumption that wasn't based on any real facts or research.

Richard Searling was playing the new releases wherever he was DJing (as were other Modern DJ's), Clifton Hall, Stafford, Morecambe etc. He was certainly doing his Hallam Soul Show and heading straight to Stafford armed with the new releases of the week so I assume it would have been the same for the other venues he was involved with. any stories from Shaun?
-
I think whoever wrote the piece in the book is simply making an assumption they are the same groups without doing much if any research?

This one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/45-RPM-Rock-By-The-Swans-Nitty-Gritty-City-on-Dore-/121711043813?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c568b24e5&nma=true&si=Q58u4gZArw8w%2B1D3bLT2Oxf9f4c%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

The trouble is Russ the so called normals don't go home at midnight, it's 3,3 or even 4 am nowadays and the club owner makes moe money and pays less staff wages than he or she would for a nighter. Plus they are tucked up earlier. The hard core nighter folk are a dwindling and fickle bunch at best but the reality is as Phil says we are getting old, have little free time after work and family
-
It's not just box sets. As soon as any new release on a 45 is out they are bought by some and sold for two or three times the original price. The Ola Onanule "Soultown"45 is up for sale on here at 20 quid when it can be bought for less than half that elsewhere online.

A parrot squawks

that's a half dayer

i would personally say anything from six onwards is a nighter but many leave early these days anyway. Anything 4am and before is a soul night.

From my own experiences at Carlton Club later on it was oldies. Others have also said apart from the modern it was oldies that were wanted. John Vincent had a fabulous set of upfront 60's newies but he was frustrated with the lack of willingness to embrace them. He said he packed the scene in disallusioned. Not saying no other newies were not featured by others as I know it wasn't the case.

cheer. I did find the old topic but not much info just record speak. Interesting read though.
-
Looking at images online it began in April 1983. By the 4th Anniversary it was definitely at the Carlton Club
-
Morecambe Central Pier. When did the nighters start, was it '81? When did they end, when did it move to Carlton Club etc? Who was the original line up. Was Sean the sole promoter? Any memories?
-
Resurrecting this topic, how were the Preston Street Dancers received. Tolerated, irritating (as I've heard from some), well liked, by that I do not mean as individuals but out on the floor.

Release Date: Monday August 24th 2015 ‘G’ Era is the current name of the group formerly known as Bernard Gibson & Liv-N-Proof. The origins of the group began in early 1974 with Bernard Gibson along with his brothers Arthur, Willie and their brother in law Anthony Pilgrim who together with Lucien Thompson formed the group, The Expo’s, who recorded a solitary 45 entitled “Your Best Friend And Me” for the tiny Stall label . Extending their name to ‘The Exportations” they went on to record the acclaimed album for the United Artists label “Meet The Exportations” which the successful lead 45 “Strange Sensations” was taken from. As the Exportations they would go on to record two desirable 45’s for the local Detroit label Vir-ro “I Want You/Find Another Day” in 1980 followed a year later by “You Did It/Easy Come Easy Go” both of which went on to find favour with the UK modern soul scene and beyond. As the Exportations they also recorded the disco influenced 12” single “Party Down” in 1982. The group’s earliest use of the name Liv-N- Proof came when the recorded “You And I” for the Ju-Par label during 1977. Bernard Gibson also sang for a while with another Detroit outfit managed by former Dramatic Ron Banks called ‘Five Special”, who’s members were Ron’s brother Bryan, Mike Pettils and Steve Harris. Bernard was present on their first release “The More I Get To Know You” which appeared on the local Detroit T.E.A.I label (which was later picked up for a national release by Mercury Records). Bernard also featured on the groups Elektra outing “Why Leave Us Alone/Your Something Special” before leaving the group to be replaced by Steven Boyd. Bernard’s performing credits also include time with The Floaters, The Jackson Five, David and Eddie Ruffin, as well as a 14 year stint as part of Dennis Edwards Temptations Review. So with the passing of his brother’s and brother in law Bernard formed the new ensemble ‘G’Era with his lifelong friends Gregory Palmer (a.k.a GP) the former lead vocalist of ‘Unexpected Pleasure’ the opening act for Rose Royce, Lou Rawls and The Jones Girls amongst others, and Douglas Gaddy (a.k.a Charles Gee) who as part of the group ‘The Admirations’ opened shows for such esteemed Detroit acts as Enchantment, The Dramatics, The Miracles, Al Hudson, Ronnie McNair and Phyllis Hyman etc. Douglas is the featured lead vocalist on “Loving You” with the additional bass vocals being provided by Odell Jones a former member of Joe Billingsley’s version of the Contours. “Loving You” and Making Love” were both produced under the auspices of Soul Junction’s old friend and Detroit Black Smoke Studio owner A.J. Sparks of “Working On Love” (SJ520) fame. Words By: David Welding.
