Had some nice steady air for a change today , allowed me to get in a bit closer to the new activity using 3x Barlow ... And just for a laugh I rotated and scaled my efforts to match the latest NASA/SDO Continuum data , none too shabby from an old boy with DSLR , 20 frames and an atmosphere to contend with ...

Another pointer is the flip-side , this 'new' one plays the correct track ( exactly the same recording as the "Dream Merchants" to these ears ) Master Levine claimed that his "copy" played an incorrect 'b-side' titled "Can't Pull Myself Away" https://youtu.be/6c8HuzUbZGE

Well that's a turn up for the book , appears a real one has surfaced and is up on the bay now ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Satans-Breed-Road-Runner-Since-You-Left-Me-45-on-Jenges-Northern-Soul-HEAR-/302094275460?hash=item465638d384%3Ag%3Acq4AAOSwTA9X8V7I

Great to hear ...

I know Guy's "Backstreet" instrumental from Stafford , what's this one ... ?

Try bending it , If it bends it's vinyl , if it snaps it's styrene ... If you think you can peel the label off it's styrene , if the labels 'moulded' into the record so you couldn't peel it off it's vinyl.

All originals Styrene , all counterfeits thin flexible Vinyl , both promos and stock. Original ... "hold the 65-1037 @ 6'o'clock , @ 4'o' clock is a faint empty "ring" of an MR stamp.

Didn't like it when it was a tenner , sure ain't improved just because it's gone silly price-wise but I guess some folk see it as a must have now ...

Should have got it a year ago on release at a tenner , gonna set you back between £200 - £300 now , bloody awful track too IMHO ...

Probably the 'un-coolest' has to be Arctic , guess nobody told the designer that penguins only inhabit the southern hemisphere ...

Completely different song , Larry Laster - Go For Yourself.

Can't help with the details , but the track is dear to my heart as it was the first tune I heard as I walked through the doors of the Wirrina at my first all-nighter , I will follow this with interest ...

Don't hold your breath for a reply , he's packed up his toys and gone home in a huff , not been on here since March ... can be found on FB instead these days.

Roy 'C' ...

Small , dark and dingy for me ... that's why I still get drawn down to Oxford St , that and the great music on offer of course ... Only 'big' venue I ever liked was the Ritz on Whitworth St , but that's been ruined in the recent refurb so it's just very fond memories of there nowadays ...

Not much going on on the Sun at the moment so spent an hour on the Moon tonight for a change , 95% illuminated. Standard mono view. Inverted shot for something different.

If you compare the events guide inside the back pages of those copies of Echoes from 1976 to the events listing here on Soul Source you might pull that peak date forward 40 years ... ? But who are we to comment on such things as opposed to 'primary sources from the period' ? No doubt the finished work will be way above the heads of most that are involved in the 'scene' , either then or now , and I suspect that the vast majority will never read it either as it will likely be locked away from those without access to the select academic journals.
