Northern Soul Uk

Last time she was in the UK I saw her at 'HiFi' club in Leeds and as Ruburt says, her voice wasn't in good shape at the time, but she did try bless her, and she did manage to hit a high note or two. Well worth seeing anyway.

I hope it goes really well for you Faye, you deserve for this to be a success, and with a cast like that, how can it not be?? Happy New year!! Steve XX

MMM?? Coffee bar opposite the ABC? I seem to remember it being under a different name too, BUT! This is a photo taken at around that time, look at the name above the building where I think we all mean. It says it was called 'The Ritz' but to be honest, that name doesn't ring any bells with me. *Click on photo to enlarge*

yeah I think I started the previous topic about buying 'Only your love' on an albums and asked if it had been released on a single. The outcome was that the seller above (also on here) had a copy of the ep and decided to list it. IN answer to your original question, it's s**t rare!

Maybe an idea would be to suggest to ebay that they employ someone in the know from on here to be able to spot the illegitimate records on sale? I am sure even I could spot at least a thousand of them in about an hour, but get someone like JM on the job and it's a good 'n'.

Thanks for all your advise fellas, I'll tell the seller what I think.

Here is some more info that I have had the seller send to me. I hope that this will help identify it and it's worth? p924br, p933a, triangle shape- 54838, triangle shape-54132. There is also some type of mark, looks like an 'mr' inside a circle the other looks like an 'r' that almost loops around over the top of itself

Thanks fella, hope I can get a worth, I want to buy it if the price is right, as Brucie said :-)

Just noticed looking at the other copies on Popsike, that this one is different in as much as it has the 'Harp' logo on both sides of the label, and the 'Promotional copy' on the left hand side, and the 'Not for sale' on the right hand side? The others that I can see have only 1 'Harp' logo on the right side and the 'Promotional or DJ copy not for sale' altogether on the right hand side also? can't see another one with these markings.

I have managed to get the seller to send me a scan, not a very good one to be honest, but by looking at it would anyone say it was an original? It has '12th of never' on the other side.

No it's a USA Parkway Demo, and not the bootleg one either, a real one (I think). I have had the boot which is worth about 15-25, but I thought that the orig' demo would be worth quite a bit more?

Hello and a Happy new Year to all Soul Sourcers :-) Can someone please help me with pricing a record that I have been offered from a friend (not on here btw) The record is an original US Parkway Demo copy of the 'Tymes - Here she comes', it is in what I would call VG condition at best? Any advice please? Thank you

How about 'In the pocket - The Brothers'? Lyrics are 'Got it, in the pocket', same thing I think.

Didn't know him personally, but RIP

There is nothing I like to see more than the young ones who are completely ignoring the music being force fed to the youth of today through the money focused commercial radio stations, and following their own instincts and tastes to listen to Northern Soul. I am always pleased to see the younger ones at the 'Leeds Central' alldayers, and always try to capture them in the photos that are taken. Remember that once us older ones were once the younger ones too, and we are carrying on the scene from those that have left us, the young ones coming onto the scene now will do the same when we are gone too.

Another thread recently started on the same subject:

This year has been in all a good year for me. I picked up a lot of great tunes, and cheap too, some of which I hadn't heard of before, so always a bonus. This year has also been good as the 'Leeds Central' came into it's own for the second time around, bringing with it many faces I hadn't seen for nearly 40 years. So yes in general a great year for soul for me.

A good alibi for murder me thinks

Not sure how this will look, but these are the 'rare' items on the RS List number 1. There another 10 pages of general; stuff too.

The Searling list is about 6 pages long and double sided, and the JM list much longer so not sure best way to post them up?

Can't say I've heard the 'Same Kitty' track :lol:

I have a copy of Richard Searlings list Number 1, from about 1976 I think. Also have JMs list 1058? any idea when this will have been from?

Set times for Xmas Alldayer 2012 December 23rd - 1pm-9pm All original 'Central' DJs as usual playing all original 'Central' sounds! Dennis Billingham - 1-1.45, Mike Eastwood - 1.45-2.30, Keith Atkinson 2.30-3.15 Tony Jackson - 3.15-4, Chris Mallows 4-5 Steve Luigi - 5-6, Swish - 6-7, Paul Rowan - 7-8, Twink - 8-9. As stated above, as you know it's a small club in comparison, so I am having a cut off point at 300-350 depending on how it's looking. This is to make sure that there is plenty of dancing room.
