Ebay Issue - Have I Been Ripped Off?
i have to say this 16 replies now and nobody else has.... maybee if you had 'mentioned' the writing on the label you wouldnt be in this situation today. theres nothing worse than pulling a record out of a mailer and it has bob loves julie all over it, i had one last week, it really should be 'mentioned'......

Rarest Tamla Motown Lp
i find this so hard to believe, they were trying to sell records. just because these albums seem really rare today dosnt mean they wernt pressed in quantity, i can remember in a record shop not a big record shop but a crap small record shop, so many martin luther king l.ps in a 10 pence sale, rows of them probibly something like this figure you are quoting in one small shop, woollies in town too had all todays obscure titles in dump bins for 50 pence tons and tons of them we used to go in from school and nick them, they were all pressed in quantity, who knows what happened to them because they were all dumped this way they were probibly bought by the wrong people and not loved ending up trashed? but to think motown pressed only 200 of any title is just nuts

Compass Club
definately, that has to be the maddest week of my life! loads piled down there and everyone signed on and amazingly they paid us a weeks dole then we signd off which in turn we handed it over to the landlady i really didnt think there was any organising going on we just saw an ad in black music that said such and such a week was northern soul music in torquay and we said thatll do for our summer holidays! can remember connie clarke and the zoo had just boke at the mecca and they were massive that week off acetates, great weather and great times

Wigan's Chosen Few - T.o.t.p. 1974
i came across an acetate the other day on the label its got a release date of 3/1 75 so top of the pops probibly was in that january, any way something struck me about the sleeve of this acetate something id not really noticed before, which leads me on to a little quiz how many different footsee u.k sleeves were there in the u.k and in 'what order were they released' [the sleeve i have will probibly reveal the true order ] but can you guess?? you never know that copy you bought from steve glover in oasis could be a first issue!!!!

Wigan's Chosen Few - T.o.t.p. 1974
THAT DFINITELY 'IS' TOTP the dancers were fimed that close ,also the group wouldnt have been required on 3 or 4 occasions as the charts wernt revealed till tuesday miday and record companies didnt get the final call till wed morning,though jethro and the gang probibly had an idea they may go on if footsee didnt drop and pye got the green light. its been said earlier maybee this may have been a rehersal but thats unlikely too one reason is that probibly been ereased with the complete show other reason is they probibly didnt have much time if any to reherse because there was a row going on at TOTP they wanted pans people dave macleer wanted his dancers [thats a fact] they probibly never got the go ahead till quite late in the day

Gil Scott Heron - The Bottle Spoken Intro
you will have to slide neils inferno release 7" and 12" above the champagne release, i can think of at least six u.k releases [including arista] but inferno was the first 7" and that also makes it the first 12" release 'anywhere' [of the studio version]

Echoes - The Northern Soul Fans Weekly Fix
correct with a few exeptions blues and soul went weekly for a period in the mid 70s but was short lived and reverted back to fortnightly, echoes went monthly in later years and echoes was always a bumper double issue at chrismas tho it wasnt really that 'bumper', even bessie banks '- - now ' was a question in the crossword the same as it was every other week of the year

Memories Of The Casino
one night in the early days 74/75 in the early hours a few of us went out for some air and a verbal and station road was COVERED in pills well mainly capsules, thousands upon thousands of them like a hailstone shower, not just outside the club but right down the road even all over the gardens behind the wall, we all said for sure this is the last night the casino cant survive this, would love to know the story behind this but i suppose its obvious the rejects from a bust there were a few on their hands and knees too.....

Tailor -Made Northern Soul Tunes
agree totally, the u.s lapped up 24 hours a day it sold 100,000 on 12" alone and we never even had the sense to release it on 12" here. i dont care what anyone says levine should get more credit for some of his early releases, who in the u.k at that time was producing better than that??
