The latest (#27 no less) in the long running series of 'Northern Soul Connections' from @Kenb Teens With Talent Guests on the late Bob Abrahamian's Sitting In The Park radio shows would occasionally mention Teens With Talent (TWT). The show of that name was first presented Sunday 17th Feb 1963 at the Studebaker Theater, in the Fine Art Building, sponsored by Sears Roebuck Y.M.C.A. The main principles behind that first TWT were Al Johnson & Johnny Nixon. Al Johnson was an Illinois Bell Telephone company employee long associated with youth work in Lawndale and other areas of Chicago's West & South sides Started in 1965 with $500, Act IV Productions grew out of TWT to be self-supporting/profit making for the 40-60 youngsters making up the TWT 'troupe'. Al Johnson, Ernie Jenkins and James (Jimmy} Hudson (a volunteer worker at the A.B.C. youth center} all took roles. Act IV made records, staged productions, wrote & produced plays and published sheet music. Act IV Productions had offices above ....

Dave only really differentiated Northern Soul ('The Soul of The North' B & S column) i.e. people's different taste for Soul in the North of England from Soul due to geography. I don't believe it was anything to do with the then scene, established or not. He rarely used (if ever as far as i know) the term Northern Soul to describe anything other than a 45 that would appeal to Soul fans in the North.

ah...get it. i guess these transfers are simple clicks via Internet banking then?( i don't do internet banking)

Apart from the obvious general answers...why do some sellers (UK to UK) ask for B/transfer on records under £300. It’s a genuine question, not a moan.

@Ady Croasdell-The Record(New Jersey) June 1975. BTW -Charles Cascales aka Charles Cabot 'oversealous agent/mgr' had done it on at least 2 occasions

Vessie Simmons did appear as Vessie Simmons & The Fabulous Shirelles. The case (fraud) went to court, Vessie was acquitted but her manager Charles Cascales was convicted of mail fraud. sending out brochures and photo's depicting just The Shirelles.

Some behaviours are taught. Others are only attained through historical tribal knowledge. Most “nob heads” at NS events don’t have that tribal knowledge so don’t know how to behave. You can extend this theory to many situations. E.g if you’ve ever worked In a mid- large scale organisation “the newbies” (even those that might have been there a decade) may still not exhibit “the correct behaviours”- lack of tribal knowledge. Incidentally, once you have it, you can leave and return for extended periods and still know how to ‘behave’.

I'll just have to continue to make do with the 2016 CD The UPLOOK Records Story.

I rarely, if ever comment on prices ( i don't know enough about them), but suffice to say i wish i could afford what will be the eventual winning bid (+£1000). I've had a interest in the UpLook records for many a year, and a story on Gene Lawson which at some point i'll post.

Couldn't agree more Ed. These are fab Graham. Hearing Melvin's voice (on interview) sent shivers down my spine.

I think Ted Daniels had (had) an ADMIRations group, so changed it to ADMERations
