I can understand this statement if it refers to mates djing for mates week in week out but why should a DJ who does the rounds at all-nighters not take a booking because another all-nighter is on somewhere?

There's two different takes of Jesse's LIA. The one Butch has which is the same I think as Andy's and Rob/Andy sold the other to Kenny Burrell, has a laugh on the intro. Both in refosoul. Northern Soul as good as it gets

I would have though as much as a demo seeing as both damn rare and so indemand. If someone wants either enough they will pay through nose.

Tim Brown plays or played this.

I agree, until you name him he'll hardly be losing any sleep. So really, we don't have it.

Same as mini nighter is it not, a soul night  It's just an advertising gimmick.

Why use the term? Does it make it sound like the customer is getting more for there money? Anyway no such it's either a nighter or it isn't and therefore a soul night.

Steve Smith played the Sensations early 90's at the Bretby soul nights.

I thought I had cloth ears Malc never thought of these as anything other than white, especially when they sing the chorus.

She was from Liverpool and her real name is Jean Owen.

Strange world of Northern Soul Adam

possibly, he had plenty of stuff cheap compared to what it is today. Vanguards springs to mind at £15.

George, as always great info and the sharing of it is much appreciated

It was released on Contempo Vibrato LP first and then picked up by Expansion. did a quick google and found this info...

A spoken conversation between Bill Cosby and Jimmy Cobb (0:55) is included as the first track on CD issues. Simulcast on A&E television and 24 radio stations. DVD also issued. Personnel details need clarification as do variations between issues. Some issues list a final track of "So Nobody Else Can Hear" (reprise) - further details needed.

It was released in 1977 on 45 and the Nobody But You lp in 76 I think over here (I've got a copy in the cupboard, I'll check if you need me to) and 1975 in the US. No US 45. Dunno when it was recorded.

Seen it listed for £150 dunno if it sold though. Seen it listed for a ton few times and seen it sold on ebay for half that.

the one on youtube isn't the actual record, it's the same as the clip on Soul Source, half the record, then it's copied and looped/pasted on the end. Where he sings, "So you've got a little money....." it is only in the record once, not twice The record isn't 2min 50 odd seconds long, it's 2 min 29 seconds or something like that.

I don't have the one Tony recommended otherwise I would have recommended it

I think people do feel the same about some of the other releases but then again many have already achieved cult or monster (as some call them) status or were put out by the people who DJ'ed with them. Again I can see the argument from both sides and it is clear that those shouting out in favour of this release don't support the all-nighter scene whereas those that are of an opposing opinion do support the rare soul all-nighters. I am in favour of re-issues like this but I have given my opinion already why this should have waited a while longer. These arguments have been about for decades, big sounds booted which straight away ruined the record for the Dj's concerned and they were immediately dropped but back then there was plenty of other records to replace them, we don't have that situation today and that is why the rare soul scene has to get the most out of quality records before they are released, booted or distributed via other means, internet etc.

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?
