Various bits of correspondence from Dave Godin in 1970 including a Christmas card supporting the workers rights ( bit left wing our old dave was!) and a postcard dated 9th Dec 1970 saying he would see me at the 'GoGo' (Twisted Wheel) on the 12th December. Jan 1971 Blues & Soul article mentions Northern Soul for the first time. A little bit of history. Also, seem to have lost a handwritten flyer for Hernies Allnighter in Leeds where I was DJing with Dennis Billingham ( anyone know where he is now?) Julian

Hi Rob shouldn't have listened to Mrs B to get rid of them 'cause none of our friends want to hear them at our parties'!!!!

Came out over here on Major Minor and the USofA on Calla

Hi Rob glad to hear my AP is still safe with you - fortunately got another one now!!! Paid £1 12s 6d for it. Tams never fetched alot of money on ABC ( we all had it on HMV) and stuff like Tami Lynn black atlantic was 17s 6d Los Canarios 10s Sapphires £3 etc etc. Remember buying an english collection of a guy called Des Harris from Huddersfield for aroud £160 - it had all Major Lance's Columbia demos, All Capitol 66 demos, looking for you demo etc. Think you got the remnants of that lot as well Mr Wigley Julian (skint from buying back what I once had )

Yeh, I remember those lists you used to send out Mr Phillips - a fiver tops, bloody daylight robbery at the time Julian

'Retired' before the £50 45 was around!! Best I did was £42 for the Dalton Boys to Keith Minshull + £39 for Jimmy Thomas Beautiful Night to the same buyer. Julian

Following on from the thread in sales;- Are we definetly saying that this was booted in the issue form? I have creamy colour (flesh) label with red lettering - the deawax on the Where were you side has MS 3051 and a RP linked together with the other side MS3052 (but much smaller lettering than the other deadwax) and the RP (again much smaller than t'other side. Can't feel owt under the label. Boot or not? Thanks Julian

Come on guys and girls - someone must have a copy for me! Julian

Stairways - Don't you care -Richie 66 Please pm me with price, condition etc, if you have one for sale. Thanks JB

Picked up a copy of the above. It has all the correct deadwax numbers for the UK United Artists release No 1151, but not sure if someone's simply stuck an EMI white label on it! (Doesn't have a label underneath the white one). Has anyone got a similar copy or can someone put up an EMIDISC label for me to check. Sorry can't get the scan to upload onto this posting. TIA Julian

There is a thread for this on 'The sharp end of vinyl' - I have a yellow issue and white demo both of which have 'scratched' in numbers BUT both have the AT scratched in. There is a scan showing what is supposed to be the 'correct number 4' for the original. Interesting point here, the 4's are slightly different on both sides the record with the 4 on the 'I've got something good' side being more upright than the 4 on the 'Love is the greatest' side. Strange world of northern soul or what? Julian

Turn 'em over and listen to the B sides!!

Just one left at £30 inc registered p&p. Seemingly this got 'hammered' at SITS last week, so it should be getting requested from you DJs out there. Cheque/PO/cash. Drop me a pm. Thanks Julian

Love it or hate it, I have a couple of new copies spare. If you're interested, drop me an offer via a pm before Friday night please ( as they'll be in the sales box at Barnoldswick otherwise). Cheque/PO/cash NO paypal - sorry. Cheers Julian

Mrs B still has one of hers, but I can't find mine! Probably in the same place as those bloody 444 labels I mentioned in another thread on here. Julian

Was the original 45 demo manufactured at the Atlantic Pressing Plant? Cheers Julian

Are the sellers the same people who when posting in 'Wants' always state 'sensible prices please' or cheap etc

Just found this in my 'rubbish' box Julian

Hi Eddie keep posting on here, I have a postcard from DG stating ' Will see you at the GoGo this saturday (12th) for sure! Right on now, Dave (this is postmarked 9th Dec 1970 Dartford Kent). The rest is history as they say. Now, where did I put those 444 labels of 'Blackmother Goose I got from John Bollen? ( see rarest UK 45 theme) Julian

You were too young to understand

No Malc, definetly covered ( Graham Slater should be able to confirm as Franny used to take it to the Vic Lounge on a Sunday night). Julian

First one I remember was the Adlibs - Nothing worse than being alone. Dave Godin lent it to John Bollen and Franny O'Brien to get played in the Yorkshire Clubs around 1970. Julian
