Hi Jordan, Great Article. I have been abroad until today, and so although i could read your article i coudn't get to my PC files back home. Having now done so... ...So it's George (not Elree) on Chelan records. well well. FYI, The Duprells 1964 line up; augie jones, ben garth, douglass graha, jim gilstrap & ollie channel. -
Fair enough

Surely you can “shoehorn” any ‘extreme/ unusual/ ADHD/spectral type behaviour’ into anything…Beit Northern Soul, Football Fandom, Train spotting, stamp collecting, Eurovision, and so on. None of which is cause… just effect.

Oh blimey…logged in whilst on hols..thought I’d had too much sun.

There was definately "a Marke Jackson" gigging (short lived) in New Jersey in 1968, with Donna Lee (Clown Town on Columbia) & Others.

-
@David Meikle ah yes David, beam me back to Belle Vue, thru Elizabethan to Carlisle room ( i think). Forget me not

you may well have already figured this out...but Henry Hines had a few geograhic connections with Greenville. (Henvick Lynn's) Lynn Productions. Tommy Bee's Tomahawk label branch address was also Greenville ( Henry was sales & marketing).

@Yann V Hi Yann, has the intro/melody on 'love that one' been used anywhere else to your knowledge? It sounds so familiar to me. P.S. fab release, thanks

Now they are running Workshops! Oh please. Perhaps there needs to be another definition when advertising nights/ venues. ONSO= original northern soul only Frankly I give up

yes...the prawn sandwiches remarks by Roy Keane spring to mind.

let's hope they get fed up and P*** Off to Ceroc

I just don’t think we should give it any oxygen. The number of non NS people that think they know me ( but don’t really) that keep asking me what I think, if I’m going, the plays, the dancing, Bristol, etc, makes what was somewhat a private matter for me, become even more so.

Linda Queen's 45 has been on aution a week and sold last night for a modest sum. I thought it was timely to tidy up my old notes, research, and new findings and put them in this one pager. With more releases Linda would surely have gone on to be a firm favourite, Great voice. As it turned out there is a tragic 1994 postscript to her life, as she fell victim to murder. Siblings and relatives are probably still alive, so those details are not published here. Linda Queen, first look.pdf

We are now hitting issue #36 of this very long running informative 'Northern Connections' series from ken Brown aka @Kenb Northern Connections # 36 Deception Today (2023) it would hardly be considered the crime of the century to operate a 'near victimless mail scam' or cause a deception for the benefit of a few 45 records. However, not so in Virginia 1972. Back then, defrauding a record club and stereo tape club carried a U.S. District Court indictment. Some still may say that's justice, a crimes - a crime. In the event, a man was convicted of 12 counts of fraud pertaining to the 12 addresses. The convicted man had an obvious twinkle in his eye when it came to the execution of the fraud he enacted upon the Capitol Record Club of Thousand Oaks, California, and Columbia Stereo Tape Cartridge Service, Indiana. Although the addresses used were real, the man used fictitious names to apply for club memberships and later club membership numbers issued were used in obtaining free bonus records for sponsorship of other bogus applicants. A few of those fictitious names included Mary Willson, Jackie Wilson and James Carr (nod to artists, maybe?).

"My" Gold Dust records is Dickie Lee's & Stan Keslers label. My mistake nay have been citing Stan as Memphian. see 45cat below
-
Tim, on the basis of probability i'll go with that. (a Memphian link with both Sam, etc and Stan Kesler's Gold Dust) although Sam and the Shamettes were still 'gigging' their "Revue" as late as August 1968, at least.

yes, i can vouch for your very good dancing
