1. Skinhead Speaks His Mind - Hot Rod All Stars (Hot Rod) 2. Skinhead Revolt - Joe's All Stars (Joe) 3. Skinhead Train - Laurel Aitken (Nu-Beat) 4. Skinhead Moondust - Hot Rod All Stars (Torpedo) 5. Skinhead Train - The Charmers (Explosion) 6. Skinhead A Bash Them - Claudette (Grape) 7. Skinhead A Message To You - Desmond Riley (Downtown) 8. Skinheads Are Wrecking The Town - ? (Ackee blank) 9. Skinhead Invasion (Apollo 12) - Laurel Aitken (Nu Beat blank) 10.Skinhead Shuffle - The Mohawks (Pama) Not really my top ten, but I am a fan of late 60's/early 70's UK recorded Reggae especially the Cimarons stuff. I do have all the above on original 45's (bought them when nobody wanted them) and some are very tough to find. Not everyone's cup of tea, but for novelty/nostalgia value, lovely!

The Jaggerz (Gamble 4008)

Diggin' the Beatle style mop top!

I'd be interested in the Ethiopians but I have none of your listed items. I do have many other soul 45's so is there anything else you're after?

If you're desperate I have a 'fair' copy that is similar to this picture, plays with crackle and has label wear. Does NOT jump. £15 all in.

Is the Chapter Five release on 'Goldmine Sevens' 'You Can't Mean It / One In A Million' worth anything nowadays? I guess it's regarded as a 2nd/re-issue UK press?

It's not surprising you found a few of these in a charity shop, I remember finding a bunch of mint copies of Robie Porter (all in pic sleeves) at a local car boot ... Believe it or not by looking at the picture It is actually a great tune with a fabulous break that is 100% Northern Soul!!

I have a 'Leather Boy' MGM 45 picture sleeve but I'm pretty sure mine is a different record than the one you've found. It's an instrumental on one side called 'Soulin' and is a kind of pop/soul tune that could have been played at Wigan or somewhere. EDIT: Found it...

£20(ish) is ok, it is a hard boot to get and I got offered £30 for my copy a few years ago. I must admit, I do collect the harder 70's boots like Eddie Parker 'I'm Gone', Lenny Curtis (this copy came in a proper 'End' sleeve!) etc and have a small box full just for a bit of NS nostalgia!!

If you don't get offered a copy I have one on Epic that has a slight noise at the start. Let me know and I'll dig it out later and give it a spin to see if it's ok.

I see the price/bidding has been reduced dramatically since this thread.

...or boot?

So this is a 2nd issue / re-issue then?

If you have a grey 70's boot it's a collectable item and fairly hard to get. If you don't want it stick it on ebay and you may get a nice little amount of cash for it.

...of 'Salvation' fame. This is she?...

Ah yes, I do recall such a group now I come to think of it.

???? Is this THE (Motown) Supremes? Interesting...

Also on that Sounds Superb album are these Northern corkers.. You're Gone Lovers Concerto Losing You Should be able to get it cheaper than that ebay link. Try Gemm or Musicstack Pete.

It is on the UK Liberty LP 'Gimme Little Sign' also. No 45.

Not so, this is the UK release...

Not Northern and not quite Italian but this Maltese 45 in my collection is a great garage thumper! Rare too!

Three Rocky Roberts 45's on Durium + an L.P 'Just Because Of You' pic sleeve... L.P... Two other R.Roberts 45's I have are another great pic sleeve 'Per Conquistare te'...another Northern stomper sung in Italian and 'I'll Never Turn My Back On You'... a full blown Northern outing in English.

I did look mate, after our phone conversation but I ain't. Sorry

Thee Midniters (not Moonlighters). When I looked earlier at the bidding it was on £100 and the bidder was 'U Wish'.........maybe that's telling us something? I got a mint copy for about £10 several years back straight from the States. I'd say £30.

Just been listening to Clarence Carter 'I Can't Leave Your Love Alone' (Atlantic - flip of 'Patches). Loved it for years, great crossover tune from 1970, nice horns and tempo changes. Has it ever been played out on our scene?
