Dean

got the message Pete, thanks for response, didn't want to respond by message as I imagine you have a lot when you have a list up. (will remember not to phone late!!) Best wishes.

Thanks Dave, happy to be corrected. I think at the time we were flooded by so may "boots" I made presumptions some were that weren't.

I still think that's a "boot", but it is arguable, and I'm only basing it upon seeming to recall seeing lots of these around at the same time. My memory isn't too reliable though. Wouldn't the OVO be Grapevine (GRP 103)? Intersting point.

Didn't track it but did John Manship auction have one on a few week ago? What did that go for? You got a reserve price MB (no need to answer if you prefer not to)

'kinel, Mark, that is something. Must make you proud. Bets wishes, Dean

I bow to your knowledge pete but always thought the issue of Ten to One was a bit hard to get and worth more than 60, perhaps I'm getting it mixed up. Dean

Jump on mate, that's what it's on here for. The description Labels -- Both sides have dj marks, otherwise clean. was what had me laughing, but I think you pose a really good question. The older, and grumpier I get (taking lessons from SteveL) the more I'm of the opinion that it's better for the longevity of appreciation, and for respect to other collectors, to live with increasing rarity rather than use technology to reproduce something that decreases rarity. That's just a personal opinion, but one that leads me to annoyance and frustration when you see some of the fakes being touted. But it's a good point. I wouldn't buy this, but if I did and someone offered my a copy label would I be tempted? I guess I would to see what the record would look like in its prime, I just wouldn't be able to fix it firmly for fear of future con. In other rare mediums (painting, furniture etc) I would think it's quite usual to "repair" and improve appearance of original articles without them being declared fake. I think the intention to deceive or not is an important one, as well as responsibility for future owners deceiving.

Interesting item. There's a hole in my SOUL label collection where this should be. Never issued on S35009 All For You / Too Many Fish In The Sea. Before JM changed his website he had a price against a S35009 demo (but not available) of £1000. Never seen one . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Anybody

For a short while I go to pieces was the fourth before 8. Have to agree with the sentiment of the emotion of those 3 tho'. Not the best northern soul records by some way but, still think Tobi Legend a perfect ender, happy to be played as the flames lick my coffin.

Condition: Graded at VG+ (Very Good Plus) Condition Labels -- Both sides have dj marks, otherwise clean. Vinyl is Clean with some light (non feel-able) surface marks. Plays nice and VG+ with some minimal surface noise heard. Plays very nicely!!

Bring on the clowns

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140358379504&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT side 1 = Betty O'Brien - she'll be gone side 2 = Marie Knight - come tomorrow STARDUST Records *** this is a Stardust release with a photo-copied label pasted on the Betty O'Brien side *** I personally really dislike this sort of label manipulation, don't see the point, just who are you fooling? BUT seller clearly states what this is in bold letters - sells for £46 . Why? Don't get it, don't want to get it.

A recent find that was part of a 60's DJ collection is this acetate 45. It has no labels but after some investigation it turned out to be the MEL BRITT monster rare USA northern soul 'FIP' A-side "She'll Come Running Back". Part of a 60's DJ collection- do you think so? Same as above post says Sam Ambrose on flip would indicate a more recent copy of 2 sides. can't imagine those two sides ending up together any other way. Deceiving description I think.

good shout, unknown to my limited ears. Played by anyone out? Imagining it with big volume in a dark room

Thanks for posting Barry. Proper uplifting, goosebumps and tears. Gonna hug my daughter now.

Pasted link into windows explorer and it worked ok. Not a lot there at the moment. Graphics are nice and sharp. Left a comment on one of the top ten to play along, will see how it develops. Good luck - what do see it offering, anyhting different or new? Not being critical, genuine question.

Agree with Dean's comments,but of course some will say on here its "promotion",which its not.Just answering you Dave. As my missus says " a little bit is sometimes enough".Same with Lookbacks.

Following a thread about Tony Middleton / Bobby Matos - Already Satisfied (Speed) a week ago, Dean Rudland posted on the thread to alert me to a compliation he'd put together. The Soul Of Spanish Harlem. Got one from Amazon the other day.............Superb. Opted for vinyl rather than CD. Brilliant four sides of listening pleasure. Couple of big northern based tracks including the above and 107th Street Stickball Team - On Old Broadway. The album is latin taste by great varying degrees, some obviously so - some so subtle you need to listen with care to hear it. Artists are: Ralfi Pagan The Terrible Frankie Nieves Titos Ramos The Harvey Averne Dozen Monguito Santamaria The Lebon Brothers Orchestra Joey Pastrano 107th St Stickball Team Ray Jay & The Eastsiders 125th St Candy Store Parrish Ronnie Marks Olivieri King Nando Tony Middleton & Bobby Matos The Lat-teens The Nitty Sextette Russell Cohen & The New Yorkers Ralphie & The Latin Lovers Joe Bataan Thought it worth a shout to those interested. Dean

Lookbacks often gets caught between promoting the next event and reporting on the previous. Not having a dig at anyone specific, I've been guilty of that a few times. Dave -I've just added December's Attic night to the Events Calendar, I'm always a bit slow doing that. I don't want to risk recommending us Dave, you're travelling a long way and have quite an esteemed reputation in tow. So this is how it is: Dec 5th will see us (4 regular promoters/record monkeys) in a little room above a pub in Mansfield. Room is good for purpose, handles up to 70 with ease, we usually get around 40+ in. Some nights been as low as 20, others been full. Our strength is the guests we've attracted, last month John Manship played a set to drool over. Nov will see Ted Massey, last time Ted played was one of our busiest and best nights. Dec we'll be welcoming Andy Tats Taylor back to the guest spot, that's a really good pre-Christmas guest for us, as not only does Tats resemble santa, he brings along the same spirit and enthusiasm. As we're small we don't give any guidance to guests as to what to play (the exception being we expect originals only where possible), allowing the guest to play what they prefer without dancefloor expectations. We're not a big dance club, we have a dance floor but don't worry if it's not full. There are better dance clubs locally (I enjoy Bentinck and Annesley). We try to keep the quality high but less predictable. Out of the four regular record monkeys, we have enough variation to keep it quite fresh. We do tend to post playlists or part playlists. The event is always first Saturday if you want to lookback in lookbacks. We let our guests decide if they want to post playlists. John Manship preferred not to. It would've been great for people to see what they missed that night but we're not going to overstep what JM wants, we want him to come back. We tend to generate a fair bit of and looking over the decks. We tend to avoid the word "Bangin'" Hope it's a good visit, let us know where you'll be in case we get chance to say hello. Dean

Trevski, is this the same car as at the back of your pic? If memory serves it was Richard's car?

You don't work for RELATE by any chance do you ? Still, sound advise, you should

Now that is interesting. I've just followed the link and purchased me one of those, pondered for a second over vinyl/CD and stuck with Vinyl Looking forward to hearing that. Not seen any promo either. Thanks for the information Dean - nice break at work to browse and place an order, brightened the day up. Dean

Just thinking of a matter of perspective in the ccccccrrrrazyyyyy world of northern soul vinyl. How much did Frank Wilson go for a few months ago?!! What would you you sooner own, this lot or that? Imagine the months playing them through with a few friends sat around. On a note of wonderful coincidence I wrote my partner a cheque yesterday for £50,000 as part contribution on a house we're buying, how pi**ed do you think she would be if I cancelled it?

No, labels right way John. You ever heard Already Satisfied played out any time?
