I don't disagree that this is a fantastic top drawer Northern Soul record, always been one of my favourites. Just the price I have an issue with considering how many copies are out there. Like I said up to the buyer.

Lifeline always has a busy record bar, it helps that it is on a balcony as well and can see and hear everything going off below. See others that aren't in the same room as the dance floor and business looks poor. I can't speak for all venues or sellers though.

I bet there's one a week somewhere? There's one on ebay now. I heard Soul Bowl got at least 800 copies. Sure I read it sold in it's 1000's in the US, sure BobA can add more to this. I wouldn't pay more than £50 bout the same as plenty of othe rqulaity records you don't see as often or been around in such quantity. But if others happy to pay a 3 figure some that's their choice.

Rather than have two topics on the go I've merged them both, all the relevant info then in one topic

Soul Bowl had 100's of copies, it was a big seller in Chicago too wasn't it (BobA?) Why it commands so much for something you see almost all the time on ebay I'll never know.

I guessed you heard that one Ted, at least it'll be up here for all posterity Wouldn't mind a full file myself if anyone can oblige.

repressed in the 70's when Rupe reactivated the label again and re-releasing titles until 1990 when Art Rupe sold the label to Fantasy Records. Quick google will give you plenty of reading. Flat copies the rarer original, bevelled copies the 70's re-press.

dunno, unfortunately ebay nowt to do with me......

well if that the effect you have on a record dunno what the effect on the ladies will be like

Loved the soul nights Chris and had the pleasure of Djing there. Steve Smith tried to swap his demo of Jesse Davis with my issue All the Dj's put some thought into their sets and carried on wher the 80's left off with quality rare soul. Great record bar as well which was well stocked every time with all the main dealers of the time. Don't think I have any flyers for these nights.

we have a calendar and events section for plugging your event

If not Pete he makes a habit of making typos....

Think the "in my day" about sums this up Ian, 1977 maybe, not really a record for today's scene surely? Personally think it is terrible and that price has to be a joke surely?

I would have thought to qualify for the longest running club night it would have to be a regular happening would it not? Running for the large part of the years claimed on a regular basis?

here's the link to the bay sale with scan....https://cgi.ebay.com/...a#ht_500wt_1156

someone just paid £182 for the one on ebay

I thought Liberty used their own but wasn't 100%. This one certainly looks more authentic than the audiodisc one which had dodgy written all over it IMHO.

Might be wrong, might look different in me hands but looking at the scans it looks too new to me, no wear round the holes that you would expect from an acetate from the 60's, look at the centre hole. Label looks new as well and hardly a mark on the disc. The flip on this "acetate" isn't the flip on the 45, is it on the LP? Would Liberty use New York Audiodisc, especially for a 45 UK release?

It looks dodgy to me.

yes they do

If you advertise as Across The Board, to me it is what I said earlier, everything up to the present day, not simply the odd track or two either but a good percentage of everything. Some might see the flyer and go as much for the modern as well as the Northern but are ultimately disappointed when they get Angie Stone and a few 70's tracks. Maybe as Roy says promoters should begin to be a bit more specific as to what they play. 60's and 70's I don't consider across the board, many 70's played and listed on this forum in playlists are well and truly accepted by most on the scene but they are essentially oldies. Too many have a narrow view as to what ATB means but to me it is 60's, 70's, 80's 90's and 2000 and beyond all in the same room, bit like it was back in the 80's when modern Dj's could be found on the line up at an all-nighter and later at venues like Albrighton. How many Modern Dj's do you see at Northern venues? Especially those that claim to be across the board.

Somehow I don't think he would be there in any circumstances.

Moving this to All About The Soul, best forum for it really and better exposure.

Regardless how you choose your night a flyer is advertising and the same for any product it should reflect what it says it offers, if not it is false advertising

Nobody is watched all night, I said if seen putting talc down they will be asked to leave. Obviously the security, promoters and club owners have to keep an eye on the place otherwise if something happened and we didn't see it we would be accused of not doing our jobs. You can't win with some folk.
