There was about 7 I think off top of my head, all bar one came via Andy. Andy then Butch, Sam, Mick, Kitch, (Steve G who's I think was the odd one of the bunch)....don't remember Ginger getting one? It stayed covered up as it was still a recent discovery with plenty of mileage in it.

looks another great show Bob, will download over the weekend and listen. Have you looked into the iTunes thingy yet? It would be there waiting for me if you did It's pretty easy, must be as I did it.

Nice bit of info It was me who posted Free At Last in refosoul and I did ask at the time who James Barnes was, if it was JJ Barnes. james barnes - free at last - golden hit

I understand it's your opinion Adam, if we all had same opinion it would be boring and have nowt to talk about I wouldn't quite go as far as ego driven, I've currently one or two and it is certainly not because of any ego. I would love to have a bevvy with you at Yarmouth unfortunately can't make it, haven't been able to for last 3 years, next year hopefully, have a good one

His next newie was always something to look forward to, not just to listen to but to find out what he'd come up with for a name next

I'm trying to find someone to bother...honest When I first knew the record it was NS or simply Soul.

The reason I asked is as Marc says it is on the Soulboy soundtrack. As this was compiled by some who were around at the time and is sup[posed to represent the earlier days of the scene then I assume it was known back then.

I know some used to take a clue from the label, credits, where the label came from etc and then go from there when it came to making a name up.

A ridiculous analogy IMO Adam. How can you compare a practice that has gone on for 40 or 50 years on various dance scenes with reading a book? DJ's put a lot of time, money and effort into finding rare records to keep this scene alive and fresh, why should they not enjoy a bit of exclusivity from their efforts. It's not like the artist is going to gain by keeping it uncovered, they will make no money out of it.

Heavenly is on one of the Dave Hamilton cds Kent put out. As for "My Sweet Baby" how is it not Northern Soul? It's been played at countless Northern Soul venues for years

Guy's cover up names take some beating. Often a clue in the name as well.

Hank Hodge was Lancaster Johnson if memory swerves me correctly, or something like.

Dave, can we knock the terrace talk on the head, Mike asked you to stop and take your grievance with Eastbank Bootboy to PM's or emails, not on here. Whilst we are at it can we get back to the topic of SOUL Scene villains, not football terrace villains or hooligans. Couldn't care less what folk got up to on a Saturday afternoon, we are more concerned what folk got up to on a Saturday night at an all-nighter. Anymore football and will close the topic, stop spoiling it for others please.

Agree with the others it has been around years. Was it played at Wigan?

Yes but if it is a one or two copy rarity and you don't cover it up other copies can be sourced quickly as has proved over the years. Cover it up and you are more or less guaranteed exclusivity until someone stumbles on another copy.

If everyone has the full info then it isn't exclusive is it. The DJ's keep the info to themselves purely to keep it exclusive. It is then up to others to work out what it is (which is part of the fun IMO) and the seek the disc out. Up to others if they keep it covered up which if there are still just two or three copies they usually do, or uncover it.

Cover ups been about as long as the scene and simply give the DJ a bit of exclusivity on the disc until others come along, if they come along.

yes but the topic isn't about play lists is it, it is about the need to put "request" at the end of a record in your play list

I don't think anyone is complaining about play lists being posted? The topic was started because they couldn't understand why Dj's who put up a play list felt the need to tell everyone whether a record was a request. Play lists are good

this surely isn't a $400 or even $300 record is it? I'd rate it at £70 or thereabouts. Not a rare record.

Hi Kev, it is a dancer, not for me though I'm afraid. I can't imagine where I would even feature something like this in my sets?

two went through ebay in 2010 according to popsike for $37 and $50. Probably a bit more now. Described as garage Folk Rock in the three listings on popsike, good description too IMO. From what I've read the Hirich is a legal reissue, it states "formerly Hiback" on the label. Anyone know different?

It's off an Appleray test pressing.

yes Hirich https://cgi.ebay.com/Aquamen-Line-And-Track-SOUL-GARAGE-MOD-HEAR-45-/280648219929?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item4157effd19
