Interesting reading the comments that the song isn't Northern or even soul in a million years. If that had been Billys only ever cut, never sold a bean, had died the death and left him unheard of and then some enterprising DJ on the scene had come across it and played it out regulary would it then be considered a kosher "must have" top notch find? Exact same song but seen in a completely different light.. I think what I am trying to ask is the old age question... "is it what's in the groves that count"? Or the history of how those groves got there and how many people knew/bought it at the time? -
Collecting Northern Soul with Tim Brown.
Price dropped 10% and postage is only a fiver (to be fair it does state collection only). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305773715497?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20240131095853%26meid%3Dcec3f40ef7474035ae3cdf004342f4bd%26pid%3D101949%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D305773715497%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2WithMLRPbooster_BP&_trksid=p4375194.c101949.m162918&_trkparms=parentrq%3A78ea566b1930a7246da5f47fffff70d0|pageci%3A5563b8b4-ae75-11ef-849b-cab871c22359|iid%3A1|vlpname%3Avlp_homepage

Enjoy, even James Coit would somehow sound soulfull after a few McEWANS Champion.

From the music quiz show presented by Suggs back in the day, I think on Channel 4

That explains it, I thought I was suffering from something that's why I took all those drugs back in the day....
How Frank Wilson created the ultimate Northern Soul Anthem...(one more time for good luck) https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/how-frank-wilson-created-northern-soul-anthem-do-i-love-you/
The tune got played on mid morning Radio 2 yesterday, Gary Davies who was sitting in for Vernon Kay did his "Vernon's Vaults" section and reckoned it was ten years since the London issue copy came to light. Davies was telling the tale of it being one of the rarest records whilst the intro to the record was playing and said he liked the intro so much he would play the full record. He admitted that he had never heard of Darrell Banks or the song before but really liked it. Someone later got in touch explaining that it had been big on the NS scene for many decades and thanked him for playing it.
