Thanks for that info, have put in original in my initial post then lol How do I spot the boot btw?

it

Thanks for the info, folks. I´m prepared to pay 50ish for the blue or 75ish for the yellow copy. I hope that´s realistic, checked with Manny´s 4th and popsike....

Thanks Steve! But it´s a little on the expensive side for nowaday´s prices. Saw a few on here much cheaper ...

Looking for a reasonably priced original copy, I´m not too picky with condition, it just has to play well Instant payment! Thanks in advance!

Agree completely, Ken. At least James seems to get out on Friday nights....

Yes, if you do so too, Sir. Dunno where you got that quote from, definetely not from me...

Dortmund´s close to my place, I might know your mates, if they had or have some link with the german soul scene...

O.K., now I know what to "belittle" means So what´s the deal with being from Germany, Sir?

What about Soul music from other places than Detroit, e.g. New York, Chicago, New Orleans... Hardly all Motown soundalikes to my ears. But maybe I´m wrong again and we should bow to the shere genius of Berry Gordy, who invented soul- music...

Just saw this post, sorry for being late. Are my posts above yours so difficult to understand- is it my bad english? And how did you guess I´m from Germany

As I´m in Germany, we haven´t got Northern Soul in supermarkets, on beer bottles or on most radio stations (and I like it like that). And yes, in my personal opinion the perfect record is one that´s both good and rare. That´s one thing that makes the scene "elitist" and "mystique" and therefore exciting to me even nowadays.

Don´t get me wrong, I like my fair share of Motown, but it doesn´t have to be the obvious hits for my ears although I like that one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wfJpGj1ggY

...or bore you to death

Dunno, Pete, heard them too often for my likings....

Yes, as the main attraction northern soul has for me is that it´s quality music I neither hear in supermarkets nor share with Joe Public

O.K., change my quote to "with a few exceptions"...

Yes, and they didn´t play beat ballads till the Stafford era....

If you need a tag on your music, try nowadays "Soul" on the known download platforms. If that´s your pair of shoes, o.k.

See, that´s the difference, I´d prefer spoons and tin cans, I don´t collect MP3´s either

...for more synthesizers

Exactly
