Hi Paul, Regardless of how big or small the all-nighter scene is, it is the all-nighter scene and the rare soul DJ's hard work in finding records that bring these records to a wider audience. Even though the record has been about years it has never really been pushed as much as it probably should have until Andy got a copy. Like I said it still hasn't fully achieved it's potential yet and there was still plenty of life left in this record. It's been hard work for the DJ's lucky enough to have a copy to break this record. Without the DJ's who find these records and the all-nighter scene the wider audience as you call it would have been totally unaware of this record. As for Tommy, well he is aware of this record and the exposure it has already had and I'm certain he was already thrilled to see it getting the attention today that it didn't get when recorded. I will buy the record, it probably my all time favourite after Tommy Ridgely and I can't afford 2 or 3k to buy an original but like I said from the viewpoint of someone who has the rare soul scene at heart it would have been nice to see this record get a couple more years of exposure from the Dj's who have worked hard to get this record to where it is today. As for bootleggers, as far as I know there isn't a sound-file on the net although I haven't looked lately, I don't think there is a decent scan of the labels either, not from ebay anyway. But one thing is for sure as soon as the record is released you can bet it will be all over the internet within days. I haven't seen or heard of the look-a-like boot Tim mentions, a link if anyone knows of one would be nice. The sound file on here btw is just part of the record copied then pasted on the end. I've no wish to get embroiled in an argument, I've simply stated my opinion, an opinion shared by others who don't get involved in such matters on here. ATB Chalky

I got this one just before Christmas, not read it yet but looks good https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=chess+records&x=14&y=29 I've this one I think somewhere on the shelves.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Story-Chess-Records-Buddy-Guy/dp/1582340056/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1296996343&sr=1-8 and this one is good.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Soulsville-U-S-Story-Records/dp/0825672848

The thing it harms is the rare soul all-nighter scene, something you probably don't understand just like some others who post on here who are so out of touch with the all-nighter scene. This record still hasn't quite made it yet even though it has been around a long time, there is still plenty of life left in it for the rare soul scene, or there was until it was re-issued. It isn't a discovery of the last few years as said, Butch has been playing it for around 15 years or so, Carl Fortnum had it long time as well but it never really made it big time until Andy Dyson got one and pushed it every where he DJ'ed. It still hasn't quite achieved 'monster' status yet. It is no wonder rare soul Dj's like Butch are giving up with the scene and others simply not bothered any more, all their hard work is undone in an instant. It would have been nice to see the all-nighter scene get a few more years out of this record before it was re-issued, it's not like Tommy is going to benefit from the sales?

think what he's trying to say is they are a pop band

One of the best double siders money can buy.

Could be easy to slip up with the new/used description bit. I'd report it anyway and try me luck, say it is a boot and not an original, you never know you might get your money back. Bit cheeky and misleading if you ask, the seller in his description hasn't described it one way or the other.

This flyer (from 1975) on ebay now, £11 BIN.

their names? great info as usual Any connection to the Fabulous Originals (Cincinnati, Ohio group) on Jewel?

Are we talking about "Ain't No Sun". I can see where you are coming from but does sound a bit more black than white to these cloth ears, not sure. Soul Harmony has them down as the same group?

Just looked on line and they also do an e-mag here's a link to the article... https://www.ink-live.com/emagazines/jetaway/2010/dec/?pageNumber=26 and one to the e-mag just in case the link doesn't work... https://www.jet2mag.com/

If anyone flies with Jet2 look out for the December/January Jet Away magazine, there is an article about NS by Laura Barton. I'll scan it tomorrow when I've time and post it on here. Nothing don't already know or probably haven't read but surprised to see such an article in a magazine like this.

What's 600 between friends :-)

Think if memory serves me correctly put one on Andy's list for about £1100??? I'll have to go back through the lists.

looking at popsike since May last year the prices range between $155 to $511 with the issue fetching more. I would have thought around £350? There was one on here last year for £425. But if you take popsike as gospel then it's just over a ton for a demo.

I would say Locations is rarer than Sensations. Popsike doesn't show all the Sensations that have been through ebay. Plenty been through lists and Kitch had about 10 copies some years ago. Agree with Marc, all in the same area value wise, all rare and indemand. The prices on popsike for the Locations just show why popsike is a waste of time when looking for a value, spread over a period of time and a huge inconsistency with prices.

Will move to All ABout Soul, talking shop is for complaints and feedback about the sales forum.

Here's the third speaker Lucy Gibson. Not sure about quality, sounds a bit broken in places compared to the original file?? Rare Records And Raucous Nights: Investigating Northern Soul Lecture - Lucy Gibson - Part 2

It was once covered up by Gary Spencer as the Sandpipers around the late 80's/early 90's, might have been a bit earlier as I got a copy about 1990/91. One of his biggies around the same time as he had the Idols on USA and Bill Bush covered up, along with Michael Christian on Concept, Junior McCants etc. About £30 nowadays innit? Unless I've missed summat?

I think I've got one on the pc at home. They are on his site for about 5 days after the end and if you sign up to his mailing list you get the results every Friday. I'll have a look when I get home.

yes it does, think I go one telling me to put some more on you tight git, then another saying that's better you're winning Seriously though, I was away and missed the end though dunno if I'd gone as high as it went though it's one don't see too often?

Steve lives in an area just outside Chesterfield. He has/had a market stall on Chesterfield market selling plants. I didn't see him though on my odd visit last year. He chats to me mother, or used to and ask how I was etc. I'll ask me mother to see if he's there next time she is in town and tell him we are talking about him

Could be one of Richard Searling's new re-issue, he might have contact there?

Why not got to radio Trent website and look at the playlists? If they have them.
