" Cocooned in its birth sleeve since July 4th 1966". "Northern Dancer, cult spin for many years in more progressive clubs and Weekenders across the World ,every chance of being a monster in Europe also!" Wow , this sellers geographical knowledge and certainty truly amazing? "Close to mint Minus; a discreet drill hole, the only pimple on its beautiful face, a fine gossamer storage hairline, hardly another freckle to be seen, a split ,Millisecond squeak on intro. " Well Thank god for that, only a millionth of a second???

Sunday 14th June BBC 4, 8.30p.m

Jukebox wax excellent for me ! Talk to Debbie, they have done many Motown Cellarful of soul Unnisued On vinyl 45,, cut from legal royalties paid CDs,one off for personal use. Custom lable etc, after many years no deteriation in sound quality and perfect mix quality. John, Malaga,Spain.

"It,s All Over"; The Funk Brothers ,band track ,is the winner for me ! Would buy this in a heartbeat on 7 incher (with the Isley,s Vocal ,if found, on the Flip if not Brenda, "Without Love "). In my Earlier post I dismissed the Vol 5 , Cellarfull of motown ,how did I miss this Stone cold Killer Instrumental? Perhaps because I skipped through tracks on initial play, and missed the magic arrival of heavenly piano and strings. Well done Mr Hubbard you are an Angel! John , Malaga ,Spain.

Edwin Starr "I just wanted to Cry " ; War and Peace Lp (and obscure German 45) Marvin Gaye "This is my beloved" ; I wish it would rain Lp Marvin Gaye "I m Gonna Give you Respect" ; European double Lp Marvin Gaye "Where Are we Going" ; 12 inch & very obscure Japanese45 Chuck Jackson "Sin Estar Tu No Brill El Sol" ; Arrives L p & very, very , obscure Argentine 45. Sorry for cheating a bit , but I feel all the best motown stormers, have come out via Universal and Richards Sevens. The last volume 5 of " Cellarfull" was poor ( Only Brenda Holloways "Without Love ,You lose a Good Feeling "worthy of plays out). All of the tracks so far chosen are readily and cheaply available on CD or LP. Great Post ,Happy Feet .

Tonight April 17th Wednesday : onBBC2 20.00hrs "Andi Olivers Fabulous Feasts" The Amazing Chef , Presenter ,Singer,,,, fresh from Bake Off and Northern Soul at the proms, provides an NS styled feast from Stoke on Trent!! A must see Tasty Treat for all diehard Members on SS!

Amy , I am that person with autism and ADHD ! A look at all posts on here perfectly illustrate your prognosis, all the symptons are so patently visible , My Question ,what is the cure? Best post for years.

Fantastic mag, new to me ! I always thought Dave Mc Cadden and Soul Galore was good,, but this is better , imagine the work ,pre Techno involved.

Hi Mike &Team S.S. , Cheers for post ,as your EU members cannot view BBC I Player broadcasts, LOL John , Malaga,Spain. ( Ps ,Love the irony of Stuarts comment ,"There are no rules in enjoying Northern Soul , What ??;)

Anyone kindly fill me in on Chris Daltons Potugal Dates for 2024 venue , Cheers .

Hi Soul A Go Go, I assume you refer to UK (non Eu ) to Spain (EU) ? Post Brexit as follows Goods are charged 21% IVA ,Spanish Vat ,Delays at Barajas airport for customs checks ,maybe a month, custom/import duties, charges are fixed on value ,even if you declare as gift on CN22, duties are still charged, a bit of a lottery! This is worst case scenario tracked or signed seems to be irrelavent the EU authority countries are random in their application of member state rules. I no longer buy from non EU dealers ,basically the time factor and added costs . .Having said that any items from Soul Source Store have sailed through, in 5 Days!! best of luck Cheers John Malaga,Spain.

Ditto ,Ha,Ha, Checkout my earlier post ,RNS, Paula Parfitt/ jay & Americans , C/U, Amazngly this similar NS?, Boat Floater still on Ebay at seven or Eight hundred Squid !!! Feliz Navidad ! John , Malaga

Your memory does serve you well ! "Domino"was played at soul nights in the mid 70,s as a Vocal to the then popular Al De Lory Instro "Right on ", to which it is not, but very similar. Don,t know about "Wild Night" but then again Van,s soul credentials are indisputable.

What a great Soul Source contributor ; allways tolerant ,friendly and positive ,I will miss his great posts!

Rare Northern soul. com are currently advertising with soundbite Paula Parfitt "Bring me Home"C/u . As a Brainteaser can you work out who it is ? I have worked it out, It would cost you 850 pounds to find out, Cheers John.

Baby this made me Weep with Joy !! Amazing interview , Enjoy !!

Elaine Constantines BAFTA nominated and NME Film of the year ,Cult Classic,"Northern Soul"to be screened tonight on BBC2 at 11-15pm August 22nd.

Quando ,Quando ? The clues in the question ,exactly When ( Maybe also where ) did rarity dominate to many on the scene? As geese correctly states, nobody at the Room, Wheel ,Toptwenty, Cats Mecca etc late sixties up to Casino 74,, would ask consider, expect , the DJ to discuss how rare, or the number of copies or price, they where simply great dance sounds! From mid seventies perhaps,, exclusivity was born, today rarity is cited by main record suppliers as a big factor in quality and price.

U.S. Atco ,Totally Clean Lables Please , better than discogs prices ? ,Cheers for Looking ,.

August 26th ,is date for showing on BBC 2 TV. Following fabulous reviews on SS and mainstream Media!

A "Touch " more versions of "Velvet" The Marketts in 1966, US and euro issue. ( Bells Delana, Stirring up some Soul) Westminister String band Black Lace 1976 uk Aim . Ron Grainer Oz Theme Toon supremos take , was at the behest of Barry,Wigans Ovation prod, Kingston. .When rights for "Touch" and "Joe 90"could not be obtained the re ,recording route was given to Ronnie of Prisoner Tv Toon fame ( A technique pioneered by Iconic Soul legend Ian levine) If you want more Of "Velvet " check out the late Rons "When love Grows Cold"CC 10, a sad "Sting of Brass" part2!! Got to agree with S.S Egghead ,Roburt John, Mood Mosaics is top of the pile , Health warning , Do not attempt to google Doncasters Agga Doo,ers take! Final thought, why ,amonst all the classic Soul , R and B,Heartstoppers of the time would instrumentals like "Velvet" ," Scratchy", "Fife Piper" "Green Door" etc,etc . be chosen, and popular at the Mojo , Wheel,Etc ?

9.30 pm BBC 2 tonite ,Saturday. The Life and career of an artist of colour,with conflicting sexual and religious issues, growing up in the segregated U.S.deep south. Maybe ,just perhaps this 90 min documentary will feature his 1967 Okeh sessions with Arthur Wright and Williams and Watson,which produced 4 N.S. bangers ?

Normally resist Drunken late night rants, But no such tranquillity on saturday BBC 2 , After the usual praise for the great Burt Bacharach, Dusty, Dionne , Raindrops etc, Sandie Shaw video of her abysmal take on " Always Something There to Remind Me " ,the bottom strapline , said originally recorded by Lou Taylor!!! LOL John Malaga.

Hi Mike , Well Spotted,,,, such a Powerful, emotional Advert !! And for the anoracks {Me ,alternate tke Of Joe Pope and The Terrific Tams " BYBFABH" } Cheers John ,Malaga ,Spain.

Very good example of the traditional athletic ,energetic Northern Soul style , High Kicks ,Proper Spins and a very Film Noir style Video . Definately a rival for Levanna McClean !! Fantastico ! John ,Malaga,Spain.
