I know and I was saying it isn't hard to do a book these days especially a digital one and with photos. The guy has a book out soon with photos from 77 to 83 or something like so he knows how to do it. Not sure what that book covers though. You would think with the mass interest in Northern Soul right now he'd cash in and make them available?

Awesome Richard Searling Spot At Wigan
I'd love to hear it, I love listening to snapshots in time and that is just what these are and need preserving.

Awesome Richard Searling Spot At Wigan
For comparisons sake, some more top 10's and 20's from around the same period, two from Pat B at Clifton Hall but I presume he was playing the first at Wigan as well?

Dunno if anyone has already mentioned but this is Cody Marshall on Sound Judgement. Looks a great set bar one or two, has it been uploaded (I haven't caught up with all the posts yet)? P.S. Now caught up and seen Petebangor mentioned it- Satisfaction Guaranteed - Motown Guys 1961-69 - Kent
Fantastic CD. Motown just do not realise or appreciate some of the material they canned.- Ric Tic Review Hinckley 21/1/83
The Major also did Stafford and think he did somewhere else as well?- Tony Warot Rip
Got a mesage earlier today with the sad news and I am shocked. Like most knew Tony well, funny as f*** with his witty one liners. You never knew when he was being serious. Top top bloke, a character and will be greatly missed. R.I.P. Tony.- Get On Up This Weekend in the Uk - James Brown Film
Mick Jagger poarently the prodcer of this and he is the guest on Mayo & Kermode Film review on Friday talking about it.- Tomangoes Acetate ?
There are dozens and dozens of classics fit for any venue including Kings Hall and Blackpool that don't have to cost the earth. There are also may competent DJ's with the right attitude and quality play boxes good enough for any oldies venue. There is abslutely no need nor any excuse for playing boots or reissues at any major event. It is irrelevant IMO what the paying punters think or whether they care, it is the duty of the promoter to care and set some standards. As long as those who have paid good money are happy that is all that matters and there is no reason to move away from origianls to satisfy this......IMO of course.- Awesome Richard Searling Spot At Wigan
Never realised Tommy Ridgely was Wigan spin for Searling. Always thought it was John Vincent and few years later.- Carstairs ?
I understand that Rick and don't disgree but like I said i think we are simply just complicating matters for the sake of it. We generally class records as either, demo (or promo), issue (local and nationally for general sale to the public)), reissue or a bootleg. It is irrelevant if the pink is a special press, it was for all imtents and purposes the first time it was made for sale to the public. So really unless a pink chess distributed copy appears, and there's never been one seen as far as I'm aware or any proof it was even pressed, then this pink one has to be the first issue for general sale.- First White Artist Signed To Motown?
Nick & the Jaguars was a one off deal for a pre recorded song rather than a signed contract as Motown artists. Debbie Dean was I think the first contracted white Motown Artist to record, I think- Carstairs ?
It was never issued for general public release or sale though, that's the point I was making. It only got as far as the promotional stage and obviously did nothing over there and release was dropped. It was then issued for the first time on general sale to satisfy the market here. - Unpublished Wigan Photos
