Hi All, I'm still looking for an original demo in nice condition. Please send a message if you have a copy to sell. Thanks Kev Bod

Still looking! Please let me know if you have a copy for sale. Include price and condition via PM. Thanks KB

Hi, thanks for posting. Yes, I saw that. But it looks like they have just 13 ratings and the username is Kriminal K ! The name and low ratings put me off (I'm, not saying there's anything wrong with them) Cheers KB

Hi All, Please contact me via pm if you have an original Demo of Vickie Baines - Country Girl, for sale. Please include condition and the price you are looking for. If possible, please send a picture/sound file Cheers Kev Bod (I'll see how this request goes and may put up some other wants over the next few weeks)

Very sad news. RIP Dave, Bod and Nicky Not sure how to add, but here's an old photo from Harpo's Soul Source gallery. (fingers crossed)

I've just noticed this on Youtube and I thought it was interesting. I wasn't previously aware of it.. Chris/Christopher Cerf of Sweet Music fame, wrote loads of songs for Sesame Street! Here's a news item in which he's interviewed. I like Sweet Music but know that lot's of folk don't agree. Also, there was a brief/related thread on here back in 2004.

Hi Mike, I like the eBay feature. It's highlighted things I hadn't spotted previously. I'm not sure how detailed or refined you could make new features. The only things I can think of would be "Newly Listed" and/or "Buy-it-now". Perhaps a section of "Newly listed buy-it-now". Or just including items over a certain amount value? Just thinking out loud really! I've always wondered how the section works. Sometimes, randomly, there's a whole list of things like Rockabilly. Does it work on what members have been viewing on eBay? Anyway, I'm glad it's there. Cheers KB

Thanks Mike. Please keep doing it. "Nobody ever said it was going to be easy"!!!!!!!

It was a black issue. Most seem to be white demo's. Strangely enough, I bought a white demo on ebay 10 days ago for £36.

I wonder if that would work to de-warp a record if you left it on a flat surface such as glass?🤓

Nice one. Should have been on the BETHLEHEM label !!!

I wonder if the kids at school ever called Winfield that!

Wow! So far, the award for the worst quality control department has to go to Loma. (Does LOMA stand for Lot's Of Mistakes Always)

Now that took me a few looks to spot "the the" error!

I was looking at the Freddie C sale/auction listing. I notice that on the B side, "Baby I'm Sorry" it reads "Baby 1'm Sorry". They used a number 1 instead on a capital "i". This made it through from demo to issue. I'd never noticed this before. Any others that I should have noticed? ( I'm sure there are some famous one's) Cheers KB

Hi Julian, play the instrumental. 👍

I think it's great!! Both sides. Reminds me of good times - way before things got so serious!🤪

Hi, Here are scans of my copy. All of the numbers in the deadwax are scratched in. The QCA side has K - 11440 - 11. Then a quarter turn along has AT. Directly opposite the AT is scratched a W The other side has K - 11437 - 11. Then the same AT and W as above. There may be some other very feint markings which would be difficult to describe. I only have this copy and so can't help on the other versions as per Discogs. https://www.discogs.com/master/525244-The-Soul-Twins-Quick-Change-Artist-Give-The-Man-A-Chance I hope that helps and good luck. Cheers KB

It looks like there are a few on Popsike👍 https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=fabulous+carousels&sortord=dprice&pagenum=1&incldescr=&layout=&sprice=&eprice=&endfrom=&endthru=&bidsfrom=&bidsthru=&ovrsug=&flabel=&fcatno= £15 - £89 range Cheers

On 19th August 2020, John sold a Frank Beverly on the Greek label on his auction. There is 1 week in August 2020 which I couldn't find as Mr Z was away and had asked someone else to post. I do like odd releases of classic NS records, but I can't remember Chubby C on greek - but I'm certainly not saying that there isn't one. All the best

I know nothing! But, perhaps the RECORD if from 1976. I think Sam was playing stuff like the Ellingtons in 1976. Just a guess and I could be getting it all wrong. Cheers.

Hi, Here's a thread about it from a few weeks ago with all the answers. All the best,

I wouldn't be interested either. You can type "Northern Live" into youtube and see some of their performances. The Snake, The Night, I'm on my way, Do I Love You, etc. They seem to attract a good size audience. However, based on the youtube vid's, you can make your own mind up if they would be in the running for the title of "THE BEST". Also, a bit of an eyeopener if you type "Northern Soul Band" into yourtube to see who they would be up against! There seem to be a number of others having a go at it.

I've just checked the Feedback of the seller. The buyer apparently left very positive comments and feedback.. "Superb product and great quality service"

Good Spot JB. As an additional bit of background information.... I telephoned Tim Brown (MK's business partner) to ask if he knew about this. Tim was kind enough to spare the time to add a little to the story. Tim wasn't aware of this particular pressing. He said it may have been something Martin K had ordered prior to them being business partners. However, he did mention another pressing that had been done for Martin. The pressing of the vocal was done. But the son of Doc K added Bongo's to the track. Apparently to "bring it up-to-date"! As the NS community want everything as authentic as possible, I gather the pressing wasn't greeted well. Here's the "Bongo Version" from Youtube. Make up your own mind....
