I've always loved the challenge of finding out what a cover up is Harry as well BUT I always kept the info to myself in the hope I'd find one and out of respect to the DJ who is playing the cover up, not blab the info or make remarks that hint to what it is (title or artist etc) on a public forum. I read this topic and similiar topics and seen cetain remarks from DJs but if it was their record they wouldn't be too happy. You have to wonder sometimes why the top DJ's and collectors bother to find new stuff when there always someone trying to be clever on a forum

Steve G has one and Kitch as well I think. All bar two via Andy D.

The Imaginations on Fraternity were from Cincinnati.

Hi Rob, I'm good thanks, hope your all the same. Does sound different i agree but as good as it is it still wouldn't bother me if I never heard it again, just soooo over played, whichever take

think I paid summat like a tenner Baz and sold it for not much more. was a good few years ago though.

some did turn up a while ago, dunno how many exactly.

Is Barbara Mason really worth £407 these days have seen it for around £100 or so in past and thought that was over priced. And how come something as Rare as Tim Harris command s just over a 100 quid more? SWONS!

yep, he's black some pictures on Dave Flynns site and think he has his own web site??? Still singing etc I think.

Both Colin and Jock did a set at Lifeline last year, great they were too, one of the best nights at Lifeline for me. Was it Treviski who said he didn't get back to London till 6? Bloody hell it was a bout 5pm when coach dropped us off in Derby Then a train back to Chesterfield, few bevvy's in town to aid the sleep, was bout midnight when we got home

yes its original, menzola the other label, neither cheap.

boot is vinyl, original styrene with 2 designs, orange label and the multicoloured with little man label.

Any chance of a copy Mark when you've done it the record still sounds great to these ears

You sure? Had both and both about same quality wise, got shut of the 152.

there was probably more in the basement, lots more as there were stacks of records under of water so I was told. Apparently many had no label at all, dissolved in t'water

Calla 143 and 152, not that thee is a lot in 'em 143 the better take for me.

didn't think it was that much

but there's male backing in the studio acetate Butch plays.

I'm ripping nothing apart Beeks my friend....it's just how your posts come across. Again what you've done in the past on other scenes counts for nothing on the northern scene, how you earnt your money in your past has nothing to do with what you are doing now on the northern soul scene. Have a good night on Thursday.

one of the best northern soul records money can buy IMHO

Up to a point I agree but experience and what's gone before counts for a lot. I don't know many young DJ's who have something fresh to offer, something that hasn't already gone before. I've heard some young DJ's, 17/18 years old or so and all they play are oldies, influenced by their parents and the venues their parents took them too. Granted not all young DJ's are like this but the majority that I've heard are and they bring nothing new tro the table I'm afraid in many cases.

Playing general soul music and northern soul are two different fields altogether. As Gareth says you can't just pitch up on this scene, say you are a dj in another life, it will not wash on this scene what you've done elsewhere, promoters and punters alike don't care for other scenes or what others have done in their lives. Your statement about anyone around your parts with 20 records etc can get behind the decks, well are you not in that group also? Some of those with 20 records or more have probably got more experience and knowledge than you have of this scene, been around longer and therefore maybe warrant a shot ahead of newcomers like yourself. As I said what you have done elsewhere counts for nothing on the rare/northern (whatever you want to call it) soul scene.

saw one for I think £400 Friday night.

Well my mate was at Tims when it arrived.

one original studio acetate which was in a really poor state.

I was once told that story.....I said f*ck off at the time, what pillock gonna make a little hole to hang records from when there's a big f*cker in t'middle
