Edwin was always proud of the fact his name was on the billboard in the film SHAFT MOTOWN WESTY

saw Edwin many many times, met the man and he autographed my records. He was in my opinion the number one soul performer on the Northern scene in the seventies with the Major a close second. Motown Westy

Many Northern Soul records are simply artists trying to copy the Motown sound. Motown being a success and artists try to emulate that success. Immitation being the finest form of flattery. To me Motown IS Northern Soul, I became involved in soul music aprox 40 years ago,and have been collecting Motown for a few years now. Look at all the unreleased stuff that becomes monster sounds on the northern scene. When I am fortunate to get a DJ booking (more needed please) my set is usually about 75% Motown with the rest being motown related eg. Buster Jones, Detroit Spinners etc. and I have yet to be critisised , anyway its all music to enjoy, so lets all enjoy it... Motown Westy

I got the latest list and it said, to keep getting these lists send six quid as they cost a lot to produce. I always thought emails were free ? Westy

cheers Neil,

Actually swapped it with Rennie, his idea though, dont wanna rip him off, might have to buy him half a shandy if Fontellas is worth more, which it probably is Westy

Actually swappes it for "B" side, "I can't rest" what a great track it is Motown Westy

Just swapped a vg+ supremes He's all I got, U.S. copy for a 1969 U.K. ex condition Fontella Bass "Rescue me" Chess yellow label demo with "I cant rest" on the other side, Very happy with the swap but was it a good deal. Motown Westy

Could be more sinister than that, with more than one ebay I.D. bids could be falsely bumped up. Motown Westy

BUMP

Me and the better half, Pat, was at Brighouse friday and heard The girls alright with me, Reachin' for the best and Bring it on home to me, during the night, was wondering what other oldies are being resurected as were all sick and tired of the same 100 greatest oldies senario. Motown westy
