Isn't it the other way round ??

However, according to the summary of the Twisted Wheel - Soul Gems CD released by EMG, this is what was written by Soul Basement ..... ( extract, which is a total contradiction to the above ....... ) https://www.thesoulbasement.com/Site/Twisting.html ‘What Happened To Yesterday’, billed here as by Al ‘Mr Soul’ Scott, was issued by Genuine first just as by Mr Soul before getting an immediate second wind as by Al Scott - don’t ask me why but, anyway, it’s a catchy little number and makes for a pleasing opener.

According to Classic 45's the BLACK label is a reissue; "Originally released on Genuine 150, this great reissue has an exact reproduction of the original label. Listed at #229 in Kev Roberts' list of the 500 greatest Northern Soul singles, this 45 was released with two different credits... One, like this reissue, to "Mr. Soul," and the identical recording on the same label to "Al Scott." Talk about confusing! What's not confusing is the price that either of those originals now commands... we're talking upwards of $5,000 apiece! Note: This reissue has the same song on both sides." https://www.classic45s.com/product_info.php?products_id=22906&cPath= Looking at Kev's book, he too uses the reissue label scan ..................

Think you could be right, but if you where of a doubtful disposition and didn't want to risk your dosh, LOL, I doubt you would buy either copy based on comparison with the label layout/info of the tracks before and after this issue no; https://www.globaldogproductions.info/g/genuine.html However, it appears this was stated back in 2011; https://www.goldminemag.com/article/241104 This Yellow one looks pretty genuine, LOL

Quick Summary:- I don't think the company who even have/own the rights to this music appear to know the true facts now, as they change the words to suit themselves, speaks alot for OVO doesn't it ! 1. SHORT DESCRIPTION: One of the most sought after 45 RPM soul singles of the 1960's, Al Scott's 'What Happened To Yesterday b/w 'You're Too Good' recently fetched over 4,000 dollars on Ebay. A favorite soul collector's 45 on both sides of the Atlantic, the rare 1966 single is presented here in its original glory, finally available in the digital domain and newly remastered. https://emglicensing.com/soon/release_detail.php?get_releases=894231479229 2.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: A rare collection of independent soul singles that scored big on England's Northern Soul charts and became collector's items in America.

Finally available in the digital domain - all selections newly remastered https://emglicensing.com/soon/release_detail.php?get_releases=894231274220

and even more stranger, the "other Artist" ie. Mr Soul's "Whatever happened to yesterday" was also re- released as track.22 on "Soul Gems remastered" also published by EMG in May 2009, but it credits the writers as B.Hall & A.Scott BUT with the following footnote, who is "Universal Mind" and why the name change - must be a typo; SHORT DESCRIPTION: A rare collection of independent soul singles that scored big on England's Northern Soul charts and became collector's items in America.

Its also been re-issued in Oct 2011 by EMG - they also state writers are B. Hall & A.Scott and you can download it from iTunes for 79p

Yes, possibly but you would expect them to retain the TRUE composers on both 45's, unless this is one is a fake ?

Just seen a copy on Genuine go for £ 1,300+ "What Happened yesterday" by Mr Soul, Richard Searling's old coverup of "Your love is slipping away" by "Maurice McAllister Question:- I though this was Al Scott originally and this copy shares the same catalog no at Al Scott - How can this be ???? https://www.raresoulman.co.uk/auction/this-week/ " Mr. Soul What Happened To Yesterday C/w You're Too Good Do records of this calibre need embellishments.. I must say I’m motivated enough to pull out every thinkable vinyl-superlative I’ve ever thought of.. But it’s not required because this 45 sits in the top 50 most-wanted - least seen - most respected Northern Soul 45s ever played.. Ridiculously RARE - Crazily sought-after - and so damn deliciously, ludicrously, insanely, preposterously, implausibly, stupidly-fine NORTHERNSOUL! Richard Searling’s former Maurice McAllister’s - Your Love Is Slipping Away - “cover up” of course….and since those heady days… most collectors have yearned for a mere sniff of a copy.. Now’s your chance… Some light surface marks - but as you can hear plays loud clean and true.. Sorry, this item has already been won! The winning bid was £ 1,334.00

Can anyone remember what Chalky played as his set ?

RS just confirmed what is listed on the sheet is the track above !

Or is it

Well back to the track - who is it really by as it certainly isn't Trade Martin ???

Here you go - newsletter hosted on here; https://tinyurl.com/dxmaayf

LOL, well I can assure you its listed at no.4 - "40 at 40" Richard Searlings Favourite Casino Coverups & discoveries between 1973 & 1981 !! page 5 Whats Going on issue.2.pdf

Anyone help me out ? supposingly from Trade Martin - did anyone record it Wigan at all before I approach the master ???

Yep Martha Reeves has stated this on Facebook today and has spoken abiut all the good times

You have to accept also that what happened on our scene from the 70's onwards was a one-off due to many reasons and possibly will never be repeated, until I suppose you have a large group of individuals who start liking a genre of music no-one appreciates initially ...... again. Besides - no-one today in their right mind will coverup any new material as it doesnt sell records ie. bring in any income - only record collectors will continue to do this for now as explained above

None of them.....

I thought that was obvious ?? Firstly pseudo Motown tracks we call Northern Soul arent in continual supply regardless of what "IL" may want you to think with his "new" stuff, however as most of these tracks ( which were an up and coming artist trying to create their version of the Motown or localised sound at that time, mostly to get them out of poverty) have been unearthed which survived fire, abuse and total destruction - modern technology has now caught up with these records and most are now know by either iTunes, YouTube, SoundHound or Shazam for example unless there are on unknown acetate or mastertape etc and we haven't the strong influence of ppl like Simon Soussan for example sending us off at a tangent. There isnt the bitter revelry between venues/jocks such as there was back then mainly refering to the "Casino vs Mecca, Ritz and Top Rank scenario, as I think most ppl including the djs are now simply interesting in getting a good mix of ppl together and most want to relive their previous Northern Soul experiences, have a good time listening & dancing to music they love and is ingrained into them as well as pass on to the those of the younger generation who unfortunately never experience what we did back then ! There are so many interesting & cheeky examples of what the OP was referring to such as Joe Matthews, William Lucus, Christine Cooper and Eddie Foster or for example as just recently learning who the Tomangoes really were ( Thanks GinoW ) - however for me now............ I am far more interested in what Russ put his letter to Soussan over in LA to make him have total priority over all others, when exclusivity really mattered - lol. Lets just hope Searling's book soon to be realised adds further background & insight to those already published such as Tim Browns.

I remember hearing this at the Mecca - however when I've heard it recently - it just doesn't sound the same - do you think "IL" could of done a remix as whats on utube etc, just doesnt sound the same as I remember ?? lol

Sorry, I asked the question today on a new thread and then found it had already been asked on this thread, so thought I would be througher !! lol ps> Whats a Necropost ??? lol

Here you go;

Here's a sample;
