Premiered last night on YT but no sign of it here yet so I'm sharing it now.

One sold on here in 2015. Last one on Popsike made £1887 in Apr. 2024. https://www.popsike.com/Northern-Soul-45-The-Primers-How-Does-It-Grab-You-1966-Hale-101-Original-hear/305483395576.html

Arrived safe and sound this morning , thank you ...

That was the 'recently' discovered test pressing.

Just binged the first two episodes of "Down Cemetery Road" , have seen mixed reviews but personally the combination of Ruth Wilson and Emma Thompson is a wonderful thing. Can't wait for the remaining six episodes to drop.

Don't know about 'gritty' but for me , for a raw emotional performance Gladys Knight's Just Walk In My Shoes blows most Motown girlies out of the water. Probably not really a girlie group either but hey.

Apparently it's available on ITVX.

The thing that has me hooked is the 2010 Irish crime drama series "Love/Hate". I stumbled across it by chance and am delighted to have done so , blitzed through the first three series and just two to go. Warning : Shot from the 'other side of the line' so's to speak it makes Blue Lights look very tame ...

It's there at the bottom of the tracklisting. Sides A , B , C and D are the 4 LP sides , E and F are the single's tracks , namely "The Du-ettes - Every Beat of My Heart" and "Sugar Daddy" https://www.discogs.com/release/6542027-Various-The-One-Derful-Collection-Mar-V-Lus-Records

The phrase "all mouth and trousers" comes to mind ...

Getting lumbered with a £1,000 tune when a box full turn up was one thing. Getting lumbered with a £25,000 tune after playing Billy Big-b*****ks and stumping up £100,000 for it was one of the more mind-numbingly stupid episodes the scene has ever witnessed ... And for the scribbled on copy to boot ...

Massive run-out like that it must be a wrong'un ...

Here's the clip from the Kev Roberts and Richard Searling Sunset Radio Show from around '91 where they're discussing the first few 45s to break the £1000.00 barrier , seems like a lifetime ago as it sometimes seems that everything's worth a grand these days ...

In other words a bit of last gasp willy-waving before the kids get hold of it all ...

Arthur Willis And The Soulful Dynamics – The Hurting Is Over , didn't it make £12k a while back ... ? Though for the life of me I can't hear how ... 🙉

Ordered ...

The third track is a version of a Joe Bataan track "Cowboys to Girls" , no idea which came first though. Joe's is from '69

Hi Pea , welcome to the forum. I'm liking that a lot , especially that haunting 'Caravan' track , has a touch of 'The Delco's - Arabia' about it to my clothy old ears. I'm taking a liberty and reposting the link seperately here as I only noticed the vague hightlight in your post when the cursor happened to pass over it , some folks might miss it altogether. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h0eg739gxhww04560uooa/devotions.mp3?rlkey=3uf514oc0fnh0xi56redytqmj&e=1&dl=0

Sad news , always loved his version of "The Hurt" on Rik.

If you spelt her name correctly in the title you might get a better response ...

A little short notice but I clean forgot about this until I just received a reminder e-mail from Omega. A lovely pile of UK 45s going under the hammer today (15th) , Pt II of the Alan Walker Sixties Collection. Lots of sought after soul goodies in there , demos galore. https://bid.omegaauctions.co.uk/auction/details/a265b-the-alan-walker-collection-part-two---the-1960s-collected/?au=223

Will do fella , I'll just have to remember which hard drive they're on. I'll hav a rummage in the morning and ping them over.

Hi Karl , I must get round to sending you the sixty-odd tapes that Emma had me convert for her , if you'd like them of course. All from the Stafford era , I made split files so that they can be easily navigated on a CD and have made as best a job at tracklistings as I could. If you like I'll send the lot over via WeTransfer for you to do with as you see fit , I was going to stick them on my Mixcloud page but then they stuck the restrictions on uploading and I never bothered. I have umpteen of the Lockdown 'Niter sessions saved too.

P.S. You do know it was 'released' a while back which will save you a whole lot of cash ... https://www.soulfulrecords.co.uk/jimmyruffingottaletyougo?srsltid=AfmBOortuibGkHMq_JzdpXPme3L6rGqQRTaYSTOR98ReHAt7wRLcnmp7
