1973, by quirk of fate was down in Torquay on holiday with ex-wife to be and a couple of friends,and was into "funky disco" stuff at the time, went to a club called the Compass club,witnessed my first Northern Soul do, and as it was on every night I was there if my memory serves me well.......got life, don't think I'll ever get out......thank god

A unique way of life, which I couldn't imagine being without,and something so very personal,which touches many like-minded.......not quite from the cradle to the grave, but once smitten..........certainly for life

Great stuff Pete, remember it like it was yesterday, and was probably there on the night as well

Do I sense Uptown Down South, the return of Russ Best Mike Wilks

I'd start swimming, cos I couldn't do without either

What price to obtain one of these- Rose St. John & Wonderettes-Fool don't laugh-Veep?

Any ideas of how much one would cost nowadays-Jackie Beavers -Bring me all of your heartaches-Grandland?

Thanx Dave, keep em coming .......Anyone else wanna go :secret:

Starting to get a complex, now , or was I wrong about the knowledge within this forum? I'm not looking to write a book, I hunger for the knowledge, and love Detroit Simple as

C'mon peeps somebody throw some titles my way, whilst there are no prizes there's no catches either

I'm looking for some assistance, purely from a collecting perspective, with regard to Detroit penned/produced 45's released either through major label release only/or both local & subsequent major label releases, and just to confuse the issue further, Detroit penned/produced 45's released on minor labels elsewhere in the US. Any help greatly appreciated :search: wilxy

Oops sorry Dave, didnt notice the off list bit, but those details are from his current sales list.

Damned inflation

Good shout Roger, I would have thought such a topic would have stimulated some good debate, knowing the knowledge within this forum, are there no clues on the labels that can be gleaned :search:

Fascinating stuff this record collecting, it's a bug worth having

As already stated, there are good and not so good instrumentals, particularly with regard to the ones more famed for their vocal counterparts, however there are in my humble opinion exceptions to the rule, take Bari Track and Milton wright for examples, compared to some of the Motown "backing tracks", (and whilst I'm certainly not anti Motown and am appreciative of the Funk brothers etc.) sometimes I cringe when hearing some of them, particularly when played at a venue. Having said that I've heard one or two instrumentals that sound better than the vocal itself There are one or two instrumentals I'd be interested to know whether vocals actually existed of them, the likes of the superb Theo Coff explosion on Dearborn, and Earl Wright -Thumb a ride, or earlier tracks like Bok to Bach. Incidentally has there been a thread relating to vocals/instrumentals, in the past?

Absolutely spot on
