    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?

    Price dropped 10% and postage is only a fiver (to be fair it does state collection only).

    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.

    I would not like it. I always preferred to hear the proper records as opposed to live bands.

    I wondered what Nosmo King was up to these days!😊.

     "Nosmo King - Speaks" on YouTube

    Not quite "these days" but interesting all the same

    It was called Gerrys Inn (after Gerry Marshall) a smaller venue again with a small dance floor and bar.

    It used to open on a Mondays at one point and serve pints at 20p (when the pubs were charging 50p) a go.

    Regularily went to school on a Tuesdays with a bad head.😀

    Great shot of the roof there and the skylights.

    There was a small hatch opening opposite those on the triangle bit that  you could drop into the cloakroom through (onto the roof from a wall at the side of the entrance to Mr Ms round the back) for anyone having trouble going through the front door for any reason.😉

    But when people ask a valid question it starts a debate, argument and a voicing of opinions, you wouldn't  expect anything less on a form would you?

    In answer to your question, it became blurred when people started saying it is modern only, or not northern etc and then playing certain records in a separate room and then a separate event rather than everything in the same room like it was before.  Northern Soul has always had music from across the decades, just enjoy it for what it is rather than keep putting records in pigeon holes.

    Northern Soul today, I still love the term, it is what I got into many years ago and still into but it has been hijacked by divs, day trippers and bandwagon jumpers.

    As Billy Joel nearly once said, Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
    It's still Northern Soul to me.

     

    I'll get mi long leather..🙄

    Nothing Can Compare To You, Velvet Satins.

    Uptempo, crisp vocals that rattles along with a dance break to boot, an archetypal NS record that covers all the bases.

    Probably not even in my all time top ten but if ET ever landed and asked the question that's the one he's hearing.

    Lost Summer Love, Lorraine Silver the beer is flowing and I've said it and it is now out there in the ether till the end of time.😀

    Was being hammered by Russ when I first got to the Casino and one of the beauty's of a song like this is that it probably hasn't had a spin since so never pops up anybodys playlist.

    I suppose when the prices payed for records on Manships auction are met with a shake of the head on here every week some of that is a premium for having the piece of mind that you have purchased an original, no ifs no buts...
