Few on popsike .... a few different labels. Prefer the Eddie Holland earlier version myself , with Motorhead's cover a close second ...

Nice article about Mr Boddie here ... https://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2010/11/pioneering_boddie_recording_co.html

Same song but completely different vocal , a solo with backing on the "unknown" rather than a group harmony ... ? Not to mention the different tempo.

Ronnie Forte -That Was Whisky Talkin' - Tarx ... I can remember where , when , who from and how much with most of my modest collection , but have no recollection of buying this at all ... Needless to say it was a very nice surprise whilst trawling through a box , some 20 years since my last purchase ...

Well I guarantee you plenty of 'looks' considering the thread title , not sure many folk will be looking for this 45 though ...

I'd definitely want to see the whole thing , label's a wrong'un by the look of it ... !

He's got some tasty things listed at the moment , the Sam Williams may be the cream but there's plenty more to keep an eye on.

$1725 last September on PS so in the ballpark at the moment .

Probably ... not sure you'd be able to recognise yourself though ...

"David Barrows portfolio of work and vision of Northern Soul culture has won him world wide acclaim. Likened to Dickins with London times and like Lowry's mill scenes, he has created a unique atmospheric vibe of then and now, that is stamped on our hearts. Proclaimed by the Observer as the Degas of Northern Soul, they are sure the best is yet to come." Really ... ! https://davidbarrowartist.co.uk/index.php

Not strictly a comedy sale but a little ambitious methinks at $6-1/2k ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Empires-RARE-NORTHERN-SOUL-45-Youre-On-Top-Girl-Slide-On-By-on-Candi-HEAR-/201326992942

Think it was more a case of DJ's protecting their 'exclusive' sounds rather than a way of avoiding royalties. More questionable has always been the subject of the myriad of bootlegs produced over the years , probably even more questionable at present given the dire straits that Detroit has been in of late.

And another pair of retards battling it out over a tenner's worth ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/NORTHERN-SOUL-LOU-RAGLAND-I-TRAVEL-ALONE-ERIC-LABEL-DEMO-RI-/331569527634?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d33157b52

Just three left ... 46:02 - 48:05 - 1:04:07 ... good luck with the first one , a little too much cotton wool over the mic ...

1:16:56 ... George and Teddy - Do what you wanna - Philips.

1:14:10 ... The Entertainers - Love in my heart - Symbol.

50:28 ... Derc Hotzog - Church going girl - Hamilton.

That must be just about all of them now ... ?

Ya bugger , I just found it thanks to the big clue but you pipped me to the post ...

So why not just tell us what it is it ... ?
