100 count box not 1000 ... Shades of Soul Issue #8 Aug 1986.pdf

Nighters , soul nights , weekenders , all-dayers , live events etc , etc .

Lou Pride - "As long as we're together" was the c/u name/title Alan gave Grey Imprint.

W/D booted.

Sorry to rain on your parade but that poster is advertising a gig in Aylesbury , Bucks ... i.e. down South , by a band from Oldham ... i.e Oop North , a band who predominantly perfomed cover versions of soul tunes , only natural for them to be billed as a "Northern Soul and Action Group". Had the typesetter not given the word 'northern' a capital letter it would be be easier read as intended , in other words "a top Soul and Action Group from the north" ...

It's a 'James' someone if that's any help ... ?

That's got to be the most beautifully crafted post I've had the good fortune to read here on Soul Source , thank you Tim ...

And it's such a giveaway regarding the punter's history , it's always the 'returnees' that use Johnson's , as they have a cupboard full of it after dragging up their fistful of ugly brats , they don't even know that plain unstinky talc exists ...

Always loved those types that wander onto the floor , squirt half a bottle of that godawful stinky Johnson's Baby Powder on the floor then promptly wander off to the bar ....

Let's be honest , at most of the Mickey Mouse oldies nostalgia nights that blight the calendar these days you can regularly see twenty people on the floor looking as though they are all listening/dancing to twenty different tunes , most concentrating hard to remember the Norvern Soul steps that they saw on YT the night before , regardless of the actual tempo , very few seem to actually be 'feeling' the tune or reacting in anyway emotionally towards it ... thankfully I avoid these nights nowadays and stick to the proper nighters that feed my needs , i.e. something that makes my ears prick up and start asking " what was that that was just spun ... ?"

About £3.5k I think.

Was it this one Steve ... ? https://www.whathifi.com/news/hd-vinyl-promises-better-sound-and-cheaper-production

Think you'll find theirs was about 35 years after the original version ...

Stick a link on the "Comedy Sale" thread , will save SS getting overloaded with similar threads as per RST on FB ...

Looks like the over-exuberant use of 'talc' is no modern phenomenon either , judging by the state of the dancefloors on both of these clips ...

Real one ... Big '45' and machine stamped ZSP 117508-1A/B ...

About a grand ...

The first time Mr Croasdell unleashed the unreleased RCA stuff at the 100 Club has to go down as one of the greatest sets ever played ...

Russ Vickers , Colin Law and Kitch at Va Va Voom a week or so back , six sublime sets ...

Ergo there are now three people that have the required information required to produce a 'perfect' counterfeit ...

None of these new artists are recording tracks in order to create mini rarities for a tiny niche market , they want to sell as many copies as possible just like every other recording artist that has ever stood before a microphone. If their initial pressing run sells out what are they supposed to do , wait around until some unscrupulous individual boots the 45 , hell no , they will rightly order a second pressing run , and if needed a third or fourth to follow.

Not a rare soul record and it's an acetate not a test pressing ...
