I guess I may have misremembered his name or might be a different place entirely ? "Paul" was a soul but not Northern fan. In my defence I'm not losing it but sometimes I don't remember at all some instances back in the day that mates do, like Scal on here who gets quite annoyed with me when I don't remember. Souljer6 on here and myself found a lot of UK demos in Croydon sometime during that period I lived in London. Our recollections of that day vary.

To be honest Richard it was 50 years ago so details are now hazy although I can remember some of the 45s I found in that newsagent. I'm pretty sure the guy in the record shop was called Paul but then he would have been around his early 20's then and I figured he just worked there. Plumpish, tallish, fair hair ? Lou Johnson on London was still on the shelf. It was a popular tune up North then at the Pendulem club in Manchester. I remember the tube station was rather pokey and old. A very small lift with metal grill. The ad mentions Finsbury and that also rings a small bell. At the weekend I usually just got the tube to somewhere and walked miles looking for shops and junk/second-hand places, always coming back with good stuff, though one time I was reading on the Tube and got off leaving around 10 45s I'd bought. Lou Johnson and Helena Ferguson UK demos were amongst them.

Sutty beat me to it but "Ooh Child" was around in many shops around the Manchester area and sold well, albeit 200,000 seems a lot. I'd imagine it was featured in B&S at the time so soul fans were aware of it. I take your point it was not in every shop especially those that stuck to the charts. I lived in London from sept '72 to March '73 and like you Portabello Rd was a great place to find UK Northern for peanuts. In fact you couldn't help not find 45s down there. They were everywhere. I once got off the Tube to go to a record shop in Bethnal Green [run by Paul I think] that had been recommended to me by a guy I met at Terry Davis's Wheatsheaf pub night and called in a newsagent for some fags and there was a box of UK demos on the counter for 20p and more in the back. My take on the amount of stuff lying around down there was that the record companies were down there so unsold stock or promotion guys dumping unused/surplus copies rather than a mod sell-off. Everything I bought looked minty or unplayed.

I think looking back I was having a senior moment. I did buy that test press re-issue but no idea what colour it is now.

Dave never mentioned that to me. I found a copy in a shop in Asheville N.C. sometime in late 80's or early 90's which I sold to Richard Searling for £8. Sounded like something he could play at Parkers. Me and Alex Jones went back to Asheville shop maybe mid 90's as there were a lot of albums in there and we figured we may get a deal for buying a lot [which we did], 45s on show hadn't really changed but as we were pulling out albums I leaned against what I thought was a wall and fell into a room full of 60's promos. $3 each and tons of good stuff.

If by "canny" you mean I'm a has-bean with a tin ear there are some out there who'd agree with you.

It was £330 in swaps I seem to remember. The swaps went missing but luckily fully insured so you got the money instead. Still got it and it is minty. I was surprised by how much it went for.

I don't know really but didn't it mean don't return to distributor/One Stop for credit ?

I think the UK Probe 45 is pretty much worthless. See Discogs. I'd rate the ep at most at £5-10 but hard to sell IMO.

I need a nice copy of this for a birthday in November. Please PM Thanks

£120 or nearest offer. SOLD Selling for the wife who has played it once. Labels are reversed but I think that may be a fault with all copies ? PM if interested Thanks

Bruce covers Lionel. What's not to like !

Great service. 45s were round with a hole in the middle which is what you want really.

Yes, exactly the same today.

Hard to imagine being without it.

I'll grant it's distinctive. Distinctively bad.

No we had payphones and house phones back then !

I shook his hand once. Still can't feel my fingers !

Just think it depends on which youth club you went to in late 60's. Only takes a couple of people to be into soul music [not necessarily embryonic Northern] and there's your gateway. Certainly my experience. I even dj'd once or twice at a local YC in Hazel Grove playing Motown, Atlantic/Stax and club/Northern like Billy Butler, Fascinations, Tommy Neal, Darrell Banks, Gene Chandler that were still on the shelves back then. One time the YC must have booked a dj and from what I remember it was early Northern/rare/club whatever like Al Kent and Contours.
