Records You Wish Were Instrumentals
Changing the idea slightly, simply beacause these 2 vocals did have instrumental versions anyway.... Joey Dee & The New Starlighters - How Can I Forget You - (Caniel), much better as instrumental.... and this.... Queen City Show Band - True Patron Of The Arts - (Pow).......and the vocal...The Razor's Edge also on Pow....dire, weak, white vocals, great lyrics though..."She's a go-go girl who's in with the in-crowd, a true patron of the arts!"

George Smith (e)
Didn't he do 'Don't Find Me Guilty' on Bojo....rarest release of this one? Also on Conclave which I have, good beat ballad flip too...'Human' (Ad-Libs, Tommy Hunt...even Prince Buster!)
-
New Cover Up, Known?
Anyone ever played (or heard) the Cordells 'Love Is Where It Is' out at a soul night? It's a great atmospheric moody Northern/Garage group dancer. It's the flip to their (fairly) well known 'You Do A Thing To My Mind'. Tim Brown lists 'Love Is Where It Is' as the 'play' side.

White Horses- Rupert The Bear Jacky Lee
I heard that too, think more on the Mod / 60's beat side of the scene.
-
New Cover Up, Known?
This is one to look out for too, 2 great garage / northern sides. Other side is 'No Wonder' and is the more soulful. 'Crying All Alone' stomps along while 'No Wonder' is a horn driven shuffler/mid-tempo with a more soulful vocal.

New Cover Up, Known?
Sorry Thorsten, I can't get my head around trying to work out how to do soundfiles. Look out for it if you can, the flip is great too! I love the garage soul sound as well, missed a great one by '3's A Crowd' on Golden Voice the other day, went for $52....mean and moody mid-tempo called 'Nowhere'. Gonna try and get a copy of that if I can. Love the one you posted up!

Steelers - Just Beginning To Love You
Just gotta add, had this a while now (about 3 years) and it's fooking superb!!!

Vibrations
Ahh, not on Okeh then? Maybe it's a foreign release then? (as opposed to USA)
-
New Cover Up, Known?
I like it! Just found a garage type soul record myself...complete unknown by 'The Avengers' called 'No Wonder' on Mr.Genius. By the way, imo, I can't see the point of c/ups nowadays.
-
Vibrations
Definitely not. I've got the album they're off (Vibrating Vibrations) and they are corkers aint they! I'm a big album collector and always try to find out what tracks are album only.

Fashion Victims
Surely.. 'Oxford Bags', 'Spencers', 'Bowling Shirts' et al were the fashion when Northern Soul was at its height? Mid 70's period. Basically, everyone was wearing these clothes, not just soulies. It's just a myth that these are Northern Soul (or 'Soulie') clothes/gear. If you go by the actual records, mainly 60's, early 70's and the fashions the artists wore and the original fans.....then (for me anyway) it has to be 'Ben Sherman', 'Levis'....etc. Always amuses me when folk not into the scene still think that we wear vests (with patches), Oxfords...and the rest. I suppose they're still regarded as Northern Soul clothes by the masses...

Just Bought
The contemporary Reggae star!! What's his track like then? Any good? 60s sounding? Aint seen the cd but will have a look, what store?

Motown Lp
As a motown collector myself, including albums (love 'em!)....this is a nice item! I have a similar thing but a tape cassette of Miracles stuff with the same kind of cover 'Special Promotional Album For Radio Stations', got it at an American Air Base car boot (with several other goodies) years ago. Temptations 'Smiling Faces Sometimes' is on their 'Sky's The Limit' L.P.

How Long From The States?
Still not here...

Pj -it Takes A Man To Teach A Woman/ The Supremes-run Run Run
Supremes is a great early dancer and a hard one to get on the Motown front. Don't know it's full value but I guess £30/40.
-
How Long From The States?
mmmm...hopefully will come in the next coupl'a days. I paid $5 but it's worth considerably more! Just hope he didn't get wind before posting!!! Surely if he posted surface he should have said and taken less $$$$ for the postage??? Bloody Yanks!
-
How Long From The States?
How long should a couple of 45s take to come from the USA, Pennsylvania (to the UK)? I paid $8 postage for 2 records on 12th Feb, seller say's he posted them 13th Feb....well it's now 1st of March and I aint had a thing... I suppose if you take out Sundays it's been 15 postal days. Is this a normal waiting time? Am I worrying too much? The thing is, one's a Chuck & Eddie on S.I.G.N that I paid $5 for and I can't wait for it to come!!!!

Sapphires...single Sided Demo...any Others?
I have the Sapphires 'I've Got Mine, You Better Get Yours' on a white Swan demo with checkered vinyl on the flip...looks really cool.. I also have the same checkered pattern in the vinyl on a Sunny & Sunliners' white demo on Teardrop J.J Jackson 'Seems Like I've Been Here Before' Calla single sided demo too, smooth vinyl on the flip.
-
Frank Gallagher At Wigan?
He (the actor) is DEFINITELY a northern soul fan, in another episode (first series) he was wearing a 'Northern Soul' T shirt with the black 'Right On' fist in the middle!! It's a fact that most actors in modern day to day tv series wear their own clothes....well, I would anyway!
