Many of the above already in the list Geoff. Will check and add those that aren't. You sure Syco Detroit? It was in list and it was suggested Chicago I think???

Sew City New York as far as I'm aware. Prodigal is it a soul label? besides it's mid 70's and motown no longer Detroit then, same for Gaiee. Was Chisa Detroit? Assumed it was more like West Coast?

I'll check as soon as I can and update the list bit later.

yes but was it strictly a soul label? was set up for white rock bands according to quick web search? Prodigal someone mentioned was purchased by Motown in '74 so doubt it's Detroit. I'll update later when on PC upstairs.

The Moments Hog? D.C. label isn't it?

J-V Chicago isn't it and pretty sure Success is too judging by some of the artists on it, unless there are more than one.

just been reading that the label was handled by Motown's West Coast office.

mowest, is that before or after motowns move to the west coast?

We're by and large sticking to the soul/northern. 70's don't mind as i'll say so after if thats what it is. Funk probably no use to many on here but post 'em anyway, I might do a separate list of the gospel/funk etc.

Yep you are right Rod, i'll put it back in the list.

can someone post up full files for the 1003 (Ballad), 1011 (harmonica), 1012 (70's) takes? can read about Cleveland either on his own site HERE or on Flynny's excellent Anoraks Corner HERE.

Pretty sure was originally unissued but appeared on a compilation of their hits in the 90's. Maybe that was the source for the ahem "UK issue".

These are the Gospel, 50's and questionable ones omitted from the list..... Hideout Fenton A-Squared Hot Creed Standout Hot-Line J&E (Gospel) JBE (Gospel) Ella Jones (Gospel) Kno-Mar (Gospel) HJB (gospel) Oasis (50's) O'mack (late 50's)

Drizabone has had plenty of plays at Northern Soul venues with a good floor reaction most times so how can you say it ain't Northern? Is it because it doesn't have the "traditional" northern beat? There's plenty of records that ain't in the traditional northern style. If it's played at a northern venue its northern irrespective of someone's personal taste.

four releases of "Boy". It'll be the #1012 release that you want to hear. Cleveland does have his own website, try there???

to soon feature on the forthcoming cd an introduction to northern soul volume 2

5th edition guide.... mend the broken pieces £120 mend the torn pieces £100 Issue £75

You might be playing Devil's Advocate Mikey but personally I think there is little to in your argument to disagree with. The release does have little to do with what is being played at today's venues. I can't remember the last time I heard the three before 8 out??? Maybe the record company's should get someone with some knowledge of today's scene to do some releases???

The Gospel and kiddies label (Archer) I've removed unless someone can give a better reason for their inclusion I've removed the A-Squared, Fenton and Hideout Rod queried too. Any more thoughts on Boo (& Aquarius)?

I agree stick to the soul labels only, just let me know what to dump

Magic Touch (one with Rabbit in hat logo) is from Milwaukee. R&B Indies does list another Magic Touch with one release 007 Herman Griffin from 1968 and lists it as Detroit. Should Big Wheel be removed from the list, practically everything about it Detroit except it's address?

Ta Rob, hope you are both well?

Hi Tezza, I understand what Salmon is saying I understand what you are saying too pal. I think by and large DJ's should at least support what the promoter is trying to do. Obviously many DJ's who do DJ on a regular basis can't be everywhere. But at the end of the day it's down to the promoter who he books to do a set so why not have a go at the promoter rather than the DJ? It will change nothing having a go at the DJ, if anything the opposite will probably happen.
