Here's the 1973 reissue..... Whichever issue, it's got to be one of the all time great Northern Soul records

a minority of two then

Personaly preferred it back then cause regardless who was DJing and how they got there the music was fresh and varied. If today like you say anybody can get the tunes why then do many all buy and play the same records

Don't get me wrong, far from underestimate them, they really do know their stuff, they've been collecting soul as long as we have.....however...they aren't over here and that was my point, hardly a threat to the UK Dj's. In the 80's there was several DJ's with quality sets, Keb, Guy, Pat, Gary Rushbrook, Rob Marriott, Kitch, Jimmy Wensiora, Adam, Dave Thorley, Robin Salter, Ion..several from over the Border in Scotland etc etc. Most DJ's had individual sets and their own style, unlike today. Just wish todays DJ's had the same philosopy instead of many playing the same stuff

it's definately a different mix, i'll have to listen to both to remind me.

Japan...aren't they a bit far off to worry the UK Dj's? Besides there are plenty over here who really know their stuff Butch has always been the best 60's DJ for me and he's probably got better 70's/crossover and maybe funk than most. Pat Brady in the 80's had a set to rival anyones. As for future I can't see anyone with the quality records to worry the likes of Butch or Andy Dyson. If those two packed in the newies scene would be basically done with as IMHO they are the only two to keep finding quality unknowns. They also have the contacts no one else has.

second issue (1973) has longer break

I agree but see it regular for anything between £100 and £150. Could say the same about many records Pete.

Every copy (IMHO ) should be taken, along with Dean Barlow, up two flights, go along to the third window from the right, open it and throw the lot out the f*****

Maybe but I hate the record

agree with you Mace (for once ) add Larry trider, Dean Barlow and Oxford Nights to the list

Hear EB at practically every venue that plays oldies. Heard two or three times this weekend. You won't hear it at Lifeline though Ian

I see the Antellects get some stick on here but whenever I hear this played I see a full floor usually Aadmittedly it's not the best record ever played on the scene but it's far form the worst...IMHO. Now Stister James I'm in complete agreement with you Kev, complete and utter shite...again IMO I'd also put Eddie Bishop Call Me up there with it too.

1972 you cheeky tw*t

brilliant.....soulful personally don't think it's either. If this is soul I'm on the wrong scene

Don't think I paid much more for it when I bought it.

I presume they just moved office. There was periods of inactivety with Calla and also changed publishers a few times.

Jerry Fuller was producer at Columbia and produced O.C. Smith on several 45's.....didn't produce Easy Street though. As for Freda Payne, personally think it's a pretty poor effort and far too poppy.

around the £150 mark....give or take a few quid.

I've watched the bidding many a time and if logged in you can clearly see who the bidders are.

they're not in retirement Ken, just having a rest maybe when a hear a dancer I can appreciated they might come back out again Have a good un mate, off to the Orwell now.
