There are definitely (I think) two gold professionals, one was around before Robin found his copy in the States as far as I know. Read the topic in the link I posted. Not sure where the second is though.

I doubt it ever existed in the first place? Mace bought his copy from Nancy who advertised it on here and other sites. I would say there are at least half a dozen. Who had yours JT?

Didnt Steve Handbury get one from Soul Bowl for £50 just pipping Kitch to it? Kitch soon getting a copy himself? Kitch should,confirm or deny.

Thought Ady said the advance showing was for industry types? Not the public, maybe why nothing was said. There is no news on here, the films own website nor FB. I would imagine it is just as frustrating for Elaine and everyone else involved not having the film in cinemas yet.

It is probably a case of no news until there is something to tell. I would imagine as soon as distibution is sorted we will all know about it.

It was Pat, Beltone acetate I think.

Not true I think he wrote one of his hits lol. I wouldn't call him talentless either lol

Dunno mate, you will have to read what Dave T says in the link above.

Thats the other copy i think Pete. Its in that topic link, post 54.....Soussan again

Why the gold vinyl copy is on discogs is beyond me as its never been for sale before via the internet. The scan is I presume lifted from this site as it is the copy Dickie Watt owned and gave to Richard Searling, it was the one Robin found in the States i think. As far as i know Richard still has it. There is mention of another from the Yate days so that might be the other copy of it exists. Here is the topic where Dickie posted the scan..

I can do tact and diplomacy Paul but I prefer to get straight to the point.....its the Yorkshire in me I think

She probably covers them as it is an easy pay day and doesn't have the talent and would get nowhere with her own material.

Didn't Ady Potts have one as well.

The way i read it Paul is it is.an issue or demo of the previous one of a kind 45, depending on what the 45 is. There cant be many 45's that is a double sider and has remained a one off since the first ten years of the scene.

John has already said "a one of a kind 45 for 4 decades". That to me says it isn't an acetate or lp track.

I was replying before I'd seen the updated description. The gold vinyl Professionals hasn't been around for 40 years has it? The same for the likes of Suspicion, Magic Touch, neither have they existed as a proper release.

I know thatbut all im saying is how do you define classic, would it be the early days or a modern day classic?

Junior McCants would be a Stafford classic I guess. How old from a scene point of view do they have to be to become a classic?

Not seen or heard anything lately.

I didn't say it wasnt rare, it is one of the rarest but there are rarer, plenty of proper records that are one known copy only as well as acetates. JM says it is the rarest Northern Soul record, if that is the case it would have to be rarer than Junior McCants.

Never will be because you don't hear it out being that rare, no one has it apart from 2, 3 or 4 collectors. But again it isn't the rarest NS record either and an issue doesn't exist as it never got that far in the process.

But it exists on an issue so how can it be the rarest northern soul record?

A second set of George Sharp's contribution to The Stafford Story has just been uploaded. Greqat mix of Classic rarities, Stafford Newies and the odd Stafford classic or two.

If a record already exists in another original format, issue or demo, how can it be the rarest northern soul record? If it's the rarest Northern Soul record it has to be a one off, maybe one other known or exist on an acetate.
