What about those who live amongst us the beings from other worlds who try and blend in with human kind ive seen many of them at venues over the years they stand out like sore thumbs saw one at Burnley niter few months back he was stood around observing everything that was going on then got onto the floor to have a go wow man his dancing was straight from another world

There all off there yeds Phil its about having a good time having a laugh listening to some great music meeting up with your mates and making new friends its not a hobby but a way of life, but for Soul Music i would never have met so many wonderful people and become friends with so many had so many great times. Never in a million years when i was starting out on my lifetime of love for Soul music back in the mid 60,s would i ever have imaged that i would get to meet so many of those great artist singing the tunes i was buying 1970 getting Real Humdinger J.J Barnes wow then years later getting to meet the man himself and chatting away with him Edwin Starr a superstar and all round awesome human being everytime i saw Edwin he took time out to chat and once said laughing that i knew more about Detroitsoul than him to another famous artist. Never forget stood with Gilly at the Prestatyn Weekender listening to Billy Prince and the rest of the guys from the Precisions Thursday lunch on there first visit to the weekender the shivers that went through us has they sang at the end we had tears in our eyes or when Sam Hutchins put his arm around me when i showed him my LaBeat copy of How and he started to sing it to me man o man you cant buy moments like that. Pat Lewis, Sidney Barnes, Ronnie McNeir Eula Cooper, James Bell , Doni Burdick, Ritchie Pitts Eddie Holman, Jerry Williams Tommy Hunt, Hesitations, Mary Love,Dean Courtney the wonderful James Bell Syl Johnson, Jesse James Nolan Porter, Melvin Davis Major Lance Benny Troy and many many more all these wonderful people who have give so much pleasure to so many with their awesome recordings over the years i have met and spent time talking laughing and listening to thats what its about Soul Music has and still does give me a great feeling .. If i go to a so called upfront soul nite or a what some call a oldies nite i go to enjoy myself and get away for a few hours from reality people go out to enjoy themselves so its up to the individual where they go over the years ive been to some dire upfront nites and some dire oldies and modern nites but at the end of the nite ive nearly always had a laugh on the other hand ive been over the years to some truly awesome nites Torch, Highland Room Stafford, Wigan Cas Wilton Middleton Lowton Civic USOS Burnley Niter Capital Soul Club HipCity Berlin the brilliant Prestatyn Weekenders and many many more including the recent Grumpy Soul in Runcorn its about choice get the right dj,s who can get the floor moving and hey presto its not rocket science.... Cant wait for the next instalment of Northern Soul a crackpots guide to having a good time LOVE , PEACE & HAPPINESS Ian Cunliffe :rofl:

Cross dresser was that Rob the Stick ,hes on facebook top man / woman..

Easy one to answer there are more US demo,s about than green stock copies.. UK copies where done as stated to satisfy its popularity amongst the Northern Soulies and it sold quite well at the time it was released thus being a lot more stock copies about uk companys dont give out any where near the amount of promos their US conterparts do as far has i am aware

Linda Jones us Stock copy £175 Demo £150 UK £40 stock - 50 demo If you can get a ex copy of any of the above any cheaper than those prices you done well !!!

I,ll buy the Honeybees back off you Tony but now its secondhand i expect 50% discount

Great set Simon if 45,s like that dont get em dancin nowt will... #20 Unreleased Detroit Ronnie Walker Must hav been a top nite C Ya soon mate

Great stuff Rob, i had heard about you in the 80,s but you,ve filled in a lot of history there , collecting music stateside in the 60,s must have been a great experience for you , I started buying soul 45,s in the mid 60,s in the early 70,s in the UK it was the heyday of finding what we term Northern Soul at bargain prices hell of a lot of great music was shipped over to the UK in the 70,s even in my small home town of Leigh we had around 5 shops where you could find black music from small indie labels , Manchester just down the road from me had a couple of great places to find rare 45,s in the 70,s ...80,s Global records where Richard Searling use to work and later Robinsons where i found some great bargains and not forgetting your buddy Rod Shard market stall which was always a hive of activity whenever he or Dave Withers got back from the states.. Regards Ian Cunliffe

At the Stafford Reunion last year Keb played it out and said on the mic that this was the biggest sound from Stafford when he put it on the floor was crammed and was given a mighty fine applause when it ended Regarding copies turning up im sure John M will come and fill you all in with the copies he recieved ect at the time some fellow dealer put around a tall tale of 100,s of copies turning up which proved to be utter fantasy and misleading............. Regarding the Naughty Boy i think it is one of the great northern female 45,s of all time with a sax break to die for always gets the dancefloor moving

Heres me thinkin you was there Rosemary i even played Little Dooley for ya ah dont know im see,in people there what where,nt must be owd age
