I have seen this boot for sale at a Piercebridge All Dayer, in the mid-00s. The guy had more than one for sale and they looked like they had just been done! Selling them as limited ed. from label owner, lol.

I bought Sam's copy of this, there was abit of label damage from being covered up.

Kev did you lend it to Ian or Colin to play at the Mecca (Joanne Courcey) because I have it on a tape from the Highland Room from March 74.

Kev McCaffery sold Richard Searling the Jades, but it was a bit more than £6.

Joe check out post number 3 and your post number 5, not the same. The sample you out up, are the same as the ones I got. The sample you put up vol three crossover, the other vol three male northern soul!

I got a set of Serious Soul CDs (unofficial) 16 in total, back in the 90s. Just had a shock reading this thread, that they are a completely differant set than the ones listed here. The ones I got where almost all crossover tracks.

Andy Riding R.I.P., was playing The Chandlers for more than a couple of months before Pat bought it off him (and it was more than £20, lol). Also the club was Accy Band Club where it went big, not The Irish League in Nelson, Andy did do a odd spot here and there around the Burnley/Nelson area. Accy Band Club DJ's were at the time Ginger, Andy, Phil Duckworth and Me. Before Band Club, Phil, Andy, Me did Accy Legion along with Dougie Anderton R.I.P., Tommy Balmar and Tony Walker. After the Band Club shut the action took place at The Spinning Jenny, the DJ line up was Ginger, Andy, Phil & Guy. and Colin Curtis was on at a All-Dayer. That more or less the history of Friday Nights, Soul Scene wise in Accrington 74 - 78.

A short lived All-Nighter, run by Russ & Richard called Sobers. It was on Great Cheetham Street near the crossroads with Bury New Road. It was a Friday Night thing, I think there was only 2 or 3 circa 74 or 75. I want to the 1st night, but did not go again. I remember it wasn't busy.

Cresa Watson on the Yellow Label.

Both versions used to sell around that, or eight quid on a good day.

I think all lists from that time, had bargins on them, lots of stuff around the pound mark now sell for desent money.

Loved both versions of The Natural Four, from 1st hearing, the back end of 74.

Pete, the "Heartache On You...." side was a big floor fuller at Accy Band Club back in 76. We were all abit surrpriced when they started playing the other side at Wigan. T.S.W.O.N.S. strikes again.

I knew of Keanya Collins Blue Rock double sider, at least a year, maybe 18 mouths before "Love Bandit" went big in 74. Small 45 Okeh's turned up roundabout the back end of 72.

You lot speak for yourselves. Too slow for the big venues, but local clubs not a prob. I was playing stuff like Bonnie Blanchard "You're The Only One", Joe Tex "All The Heaven (A Man Really Needs)" in the 70s, both went on to big in later years.

Yeah, both records very common back than, but it pay 10p for a record (or 5p) back than wasn't nothing out of the ordinary.

Hi Dave, C/O "Sure Didn't Take Long" and "I Only Get This Feeling" both tracks played out by me. Accrington Legion etc in the early 70s. I don't recall ever hearing them any of them at the big venues bitd. Both great records imho. Take care, will see you at Radders. Dave.

Dave, the vocal was big mid 70s, played off the LP. This was big earlier. more or less soon after it was a new release. Someone said in another post, the surprice on some peoples faces when no vocal comes in. While I had the same surprice when the vocal did come in, when Sam played "HBTN" at a nighter in 75.

Again TSWONS, back in the 70s, I had a blue issue and the other two copies in collections near where I lived were both stock copies as well. I never saw the a WD until about 1980.

The copy I had was the script logo, and so was the other copies I had seen at the time. Anyway I saw two copies of the block print on a record stall in London (mid 70s) and left them thinking it had been booted

Yeah, I clocked Andy's photo. And on a sadder note, a few peps no longer with us from the older footage.

Funny you should say this, at the Tower on Saturday, certain people that went there on a mini-bus left for home. Wait for it............. 1.00am. lol. No, I was not there, before anyone asks!!! I was out at a Modern Soul Night, left when it finished just after 3.00am.

Most of the local record shops had them for sale at the time.

Can't remember how many single LPs there were without checking? There were 20 double LPs, Northern Soul vols 1 to 16, Modern Soul vols 1 to 3 and a Detroit double. I sold the 16 Northern ones to someone on here about 3 years ago.

These photos were took April or May 74. We have both got the chocker on, but you can see Fred's better.
