Nice topic. I'd like to highlight the other side of the Listen 45: "Everybody's gonna say" more Mod than Northern Soul but a very cool number. Just check his likes during his Mod days!!

For me it's got to be either something by Ray Charles or Little Willie John, do not know exactly which record but they where pushing the boundaries certainly in the 50s.

A few of the dances Mods will knock their socks off in London as shown by the late great Patrick Kerr on Mirabelle magazine in 1964.

According to the book King Mod by Steve Turner, Sandra Lane—later known as Sandra Blackstone—disappeared without a trace in 1966, soon after the closure of The Scene Club, presumably moving to America to start a new life. I know it's not much help, but it's a start. You can also see two pictures of Sandra in the book. https://www.amazon.co.uk/King-Mod-Meaden-Making-Subculture/dp/191273351X/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=9EIAUOAO2IJJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pwsUApVwSkVb74ix8D6wLQ.MGGkpjX_egfbqayL1gYh6Yiyxw3PXNz2KH6hoLKGOvY&dib_tag=se&keywords=king+mod+peter+meaden&qid=1739642650&sprefix=king+mod%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1

Joe Bataan - What good is a castle (Pt. 2) - Fania Pretty cool and soulful sound.

Tommy Tucker - Oh what a feeling (UK London) 👌

Larry Williams with Johnny Guitar Watson and the Stormsville Shakers - Sweet little baby (UK Decca)

I just got to say I love this: Laurel Aitken - Sweet precious love (UK Rainbow) UK only as far as I know unless a jamaican issue do exist which I doubt. UK production yes, but it's Soul in my book.

That Jimmy James (Hungary EP) plays a totally (poorer) different take of "I feel alright" than UK Piccadilly. The jamaican release can not say which take does play.

Mary Wells "Two lovers" LP is a great album with very nice non 45 tunes often forgotten: "My 2 arms - You = Tears "Stop right here"

- Eddie Holland - Gotta have your love b/w True love will go a mighty long way (from his great "Eddie Holland" Motown LP 1962). - Mary Wells - Drop in the bucket ("From the vaults" LP compilation). - Hattie Littles - Love, trouble, heartaches and misery (CD only) - Little Stevie Wonder - Wondering (popular Mod instro from "The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie" LP Tamla 1962)

"Think nothing about it" by Major Lance also came out on this lovely french EP which is closer you'll get to a 45.

Friendly people not rare and a bit dull to me.

I just came across this Pete Meaden pic I had never seen before with Pete Townshend. It has to be late 70s not long before his tragic death.
