Could've been anyone pal, I've scans of Capitol Magnetics blanks somewhere.

I was gonna say this was about before Crossover was a twinkle in Rod Dearloves eye.

Don't think (if I remember rightly) Capitol Magnetics appeared till the 70's when Audiodisc sold their operation to Capitol. We did discuss the history a while back. Some links...... https://www.apollomasters.com/story.html https://www.phonozoic.net/recordio/

Keep asking the questions Bob as I'm sure it is of interest to others as well.

I did Ask if they were em....I just googled and copied and pasted the result.

Previous topic here Sean......

Are these them....... I miss the sand on the concrete floor I miss the way it was before No one even knew me Your eyes looked right through me And I'm takin' off your clothes And you bloom like a rose Can't get away from you I can't get away from you And where the ocean meets the land Is like the slidin' of your hand That prickles up my skin And I can feel the changing weather While alone along that coast It sends memories of your ghost Away from you I can't get away from you I can't get away from you I can't get away from you Deliver me (Turn to me and one thing that trips me up) Shut me up (One thing that trips me up, one thing, won't give it up) Deliver me (One thing close to me and one thing that trips me up) (One thing reminded me and I go and walk alone) Deliver me (One thing [incomprehensible]) Deliver me (One thing won't let me go, no and I can't go home) Deliver me Through the airport corridors In the magazines, in stores If I see your face once more 'Cause you know I can't ignore it And I recognize that pose When you bloomed like a rose I can't get away from you I can't get away from you I can't get away from you I can't get away from you The jeep gets broken on a blown out road And I'm a tourist with a real light load And with the government hold another month away The messed up places where we always stayed Funny when we always pick these spots Feeling like I have in the land of 'have nots' Sleeping on cots, wishing that I had some tater-tots And there's postcards written I know I'll never send The moment is gone And it won't come again I ride with souls that find no peace Still I look to you to find release Find release, find release I walked with travelers returning through the panic doors Walking through the airport corridors Welcome back now from foreign shores And I walk alone and the ghost that I carry is you Tiger sharks in the azure blue The vision you had returns to you Returns to you, returns to you

Yeah noticed the credits are the same, address etc, just strange the demo is very similar to the red label copy and nothing like the blue label issue. Like you say a rare one either way, thanks for posting.

Cheers Nev. Like I said don't recall ever seeing one. You say it is the same as the 70's Blue label copy but doesn't make sense really as the layout is almost the same as the red label release?

There's rubbish on most labels that are of no interest other than to complete the label run.

If I've seen one I can't recall it mate.

There's talk of one in this topic...... And possibly in this topic

I do agree with you Bob that too much emphasis is put upon the records that command a high price and often ignore the vast majority that are well within most collectors budget. This scene however was built upon rare records that were exclusive to the DJ or to a certain few, still is to some extent. Collecting and the "scene" are different even though they are heavily linked.

Too much off topic creeping in to certain topics. Ask all members to try and please keep it to a minimum. Other members who don't have a lot of spare time do complain about opening posts to find nothing of interest. I'm all for a bit of light hearted relief or humour in a topic especially one of the more serious ones but some members go to far. Jokes should be in freebasing. Will tidy this topici up later.

Hardly a comedy sale is it? You don't need the tape to do a bootleg, not stopped the bootleggers yet. As said plenty of talk already on Soul Source about it.

I can't recall seeing a demo/white demo?

We all have different tastes Bob and would be boring if we all liked the same stuff. Can't remember last time I heard the Milton Wright so will have a listen first opportunity.

Thought Grey Imprint was £1500, will have to check. One was sold for £2k not do long ago.

Put Oscar Perry on Andy Dyson's list, one before last. Without checking (not got list with me but it is on here) I think it was £900 and it went quickly. Rare record.

Lorenzo, you should buy this book... The In Crowd: The Story of the Northern and Rare Soul Scene by Mike Ritson (Author), Stuart Russell (Author) It will give you a very good insight into the history of Northern Soul up to the end of Wigan Casino I think, 1981. Another (and cheaper option) is The Story of Northern Soul by Dave Nowell. He is a member as well and was selling this for about 7 quid not so long ago.

he does as Mace says and I've a lot of time for Callum as well. Clearly loves the music and gets about.

Sorry Bob but it doesn't work like that here. The youngsters that attend clubs such as I've mentioned simply do not travel, a few do but by and large they don't. They have no wish to leave their own particular area. As said most that attend are old enough to be some of the kids grand-parents and no matter how funky, hip or cool its not cool enough. Added to that some of the venues are in working men's clubs, and halls that have seen better days, some venues are dumps that I've no wish to attend let alone some trendy 20 year old. Their venues are not offering anything that isn't out there across the country. It is nothing to do with the music being hip or cool or somewhere having a buzz. Plenty of places play music that is fresh, imaginative and some of the djs have records others can only dream about but they struggle to attract paying customers.

Wigan nor Stafford your typical major city like Manchester? What I'm saying is would places like the Beat Boutique in Manchester or Souled Out in Newcastle work in a much smaller town with out a large student/youth population. Would the Beat Boutique clientele travel to the middle of nowhere or some run down working mens club in some back water town or village like we used to do and still do in many cases. I accept some youngsters are into the music just like we are but others see it as a more social thing with the added bonus of some good music who are probably not into this for the long term?

What is the average attendance? I've said it before youngsters are few and far between on this scene and where there are a decent younger crowd they are city based, often with university etc. take the one in Manchester, packed but hardly any travel to your all-nighters around the country, infact not many travel outside Manchester except to maybe another Mod type club. I see Callum about and a few others but not too many. As for youth attracting youth, does that mean get rid of older More experienced Dj's for the sake of a younger one? there are plenty of more experienced Dj's offering fresh and imaginative playlists and to be brutally honest not many younger Dj's have anything to offer that isn't already on offer from more experienced Dj's with a wealth of knowledge and experience to fall back on. That's not to say youth shouldn't be given a chance to shine, they should be given a chance and Lifeline (as well as others) has given the likes of the beat boutique lads (just one turned up) the chance, Paul did a great set too. Radcliffe regularly has younger lads behind the deck. I disagree with Bob, youngsters don't want to mix with people old enough to be there grand parents wearing clothes from the 70's, it's just not cool. Many soul nights the majority are the wrong side of 40 or 50, some over 60. These can't go on for ever, sooner or later they will once again leave this scene and it will be underground with a small hardcore once again. The scene as we know it is slowly dying (attendances are suffering up and down the country even now), it wil take some years but very few youngsters are coming through to replace an ageing scene.

Here you go mate..... https://www64.zippyshare.com/v/73364592/file.html%3Cbr%20/%3E On th iPod and essential listening tomorrow along with Cliff's show.
