Remember you with that copy Rod , maybe late 75, early 76 , you were stood with it on Victoria Bridge in a pinstripe suit !

An old friend of mine from Rochdale "Dave the shoe " sadly no longer with us , was a cobbler for over 50 years and always recommended " Loake" shoes , not cheap , but not as expensive as say" Church " shoes .. he reckoned that Loake were at least as good , maybe at just over half the price . Have yet to buy a pair as they look like the may need 2- 3 years to wear in properly , but maybe one day .. maybe £250 -£300 for a decent pair .

Oh , Ok , I see what you are saying , Cant say I heard It either in the 70s or early 80s when I was out and about all the time , In do remember seeing it for sale in those days though , I used to think it was a before my time oldie ? would be interested to know wheter or not it got plays in the early seventies . Great record whatever .

Hi Joe , Intrigued by your final comment , this is not in any way a criticism as we all have our views and see things differently ... for me , I have always seen this as one of the all time classic Northern records , I was wondering why you would not consider it "northern".

Enjoyed the article , Great to see the picture of Vaughn with my old mate Barry (Big Eyes ) Robinson ,(R.I.P.) always the sharpest dressed guy around .

Probably the only CD I have picked up since the first volume A Cool , low, dark soulful oldschool vibe currently permeating the house ... Perfect !

Can confirm there were quite a few around in the 70s , At that point in time I had a complete run of the Ric Tic label and didnt consider Scotts on Swingers to be by any means the rarest , I got mine from Chris Savory( who had several mint copies ) for around 5 or 6 quid , also, at the same time from him Fantastic 4 Cant stop looking for my baby for £15.00, which was a lot at the time , but not many copies seemed to be about at that time .

Third line from the end , I hear " I guess I HAVE my chance now , theres no time for CANCELLATION "

Martha and the Vandellas " Love makes me do foolish things" /" Youve been in love too long "

I Wouldnt mind that copy of The Admirations on SEXTON

Really enjoyed the film, love the period sets ...if anyone is into late sixties early seventies New York( I am sure many on here are ) I would also recomend "The many saints of Newark " , The Sopranos prequel , plenty of 60s soul in the soundtrack too .

Couple of years back , picked up The Orlons "Envy" U.S. Cameo, £ 2.50 , Buy it Now , Free Delivery !.

Yes .

Loved Amy Winehouse , for me , Back to Black is the best Album since the millenium .

Depends entirely on the price , If a given items price is still attractive after the VAT and postage are added, then yes , The automatic VAT payment does make this less likely as we go forward .. maybe there will be a slight reduction in U.S. dealers pricing to reflect the fact that U.K. buyers are thinner on the ground than previously , but dont hold your breath ...

At least a dozen on there would not make my top 1000 . , All subjective of course , but for me , So, so much missing and even with only 100 to choose , so much filler .

Ms playlist changed when the Twins started Dj ing in there , They seemed to go for Rare originals , many of which had recently stopped being played downstairs as the had been pressed , whereas before ,with Kenny Spence , Mike Rollo etc ,it was more about the kind of stuff on Banners playlist . Mike Rollo would always start with "Wade in the water" . lots of 50p records would shake the place to its foundations , one that always had that effect was The Bandwagon ," Breaking down the walls of heartache ". Loved the place , Another level .

Sorted , Thanks.

Hi All , Does anyone have a VG++ or better copy of this on either Coxsone or Studio one they would be interested in moving on ? Please pm me , Thanks , Mike.

Same as me , R.I.P. Dave.

John Manship has a recent youtube video entitled " Selectadisc 1970s Northern Soul Time Capsule PT- 2 " In which he goes through a box of 45s he has bought . At 22.10 on the clip , he pulls out a 1973 Jerry Williams and says that this was a re recording . i know the out of the past release is slightly shorter , the first part of the instrumental break having been cut out of this copy , but i am still not sure that the 1973 calla re issue is a re recording . Sure I also had a Blue and White one sided Calla Demo at one point .

B e careful if you are tempted to buy the latest Technics 1210 offering (MK7) for around£800.00 new . These are not the same build quality as the originals , and very much lighter , check out the reviews , for my money , I,m thinking for around£400-£ 500.00, you should be able to pick up a decent second hand one . Again , wouldn,t advise you to buy sight unseen , you need to check the lights , condition and the general feel . If you deffo want a new deck , I like the look and feel of the Pioneer Professional PlX1000.
