Hats off to the Scott Bros. Made my day when I first chuckled through these.

Chalky if you could dig out your issues I'd love to see some of the content.

A few more for now....laters. Kev

Not a shred of malice intended Mike. Just a bit of light relief from Webby's thread.

Any lawsuits please contact: MoSoul Solicitors American Group (AGP) Recording studio...somewhere in the US of A.

The "Shrineman" sketch just killed me. Might even print it out and paste it above the bog roll holder.

Great lads

Rob

Rick/Richard comes to Cleethorpes most years, he's got a gang of hard core pie eaters for this years festivities. we used to shift some black puddings and pickles at the Wilton back in the day.

Brilliant I have one somewhere I'll have a look later............

Was only reading issue 8 the other night, which was the Roger Banks wedding special, as it says on the front cover "A story of passion, romance & potatoes". Also advert for Togetherness alnighter- Northern Soul like it used to be.......5 million years ago!! Featuring three hundred DJs in three seperate caves. First 20 people in recieve a fabulous free stone/flint axe & hunting spear, plus sabre tooth tiger loin cloth. Togetherness.. The venue that time forgot.

Page after page of piss taking which left me in tears. Absolutely brilliant and what the scene should be all about, having a good laugh at itself.

Totally classic !

Got a pile of these mags stashed away in a cupboard

with shelves full of all the old BLUES and SOULS,

BLACK Echoes,and many of the other old soul mags,

doing the rounds at the time.

Wish I knew how to transfer the R SOUL mags onto

computer,they were funny,naughty,tongue in cheek

and a delight to read on the way home from a nighter.

I always thought the 'cheeky' Roger Banks had summat

to do with these mags,also.

BRADFORD MAN GOES BESERK- POLICE SURROUND HOUSE !!!!!

Armed police are still surrounding the home of DJ/mag publisher Derek Person after he went mad and TOOK HIMSELF HOSTAGE!

The trouble began on Wednesday afternoon when the post woman failed to deliver Dereks Giro !! Suddenly Derek went completely mad and ran out hurling abuse and chocolate peanuts at people walking by, then he put his hands around his throat and threatened TO STRANGLE HIMSELF!! Then he demanded the DSS send him his Giro, or else!! Within seconds police arrived and Derek barricaded himself in his bedroom.

Shortly after he appeared at the window holding A SPOON TO HIS HEAD! he threatened to use it unless he got a cheque for £37.50, a nuclear submarine and a signed photo of TV celebrity Anne Diamond.

Police contacted the DSS who are looking into the matter, and in the meantime a 6 million ton Nuclear sub has been parked in his garden, however no one has been able to contact Anne Diamond, as she is on holiday down a Coal Mine in Wales, but hearing of the events taking place, BBC former match of the day expert Jimmy Hill turned up ina hot air balloon demanding an action replay and that he speak to Derek!

The seige has now been going on for 17 minutes and Derek has shown he is serious when he has just thrown one of his shirts outside and one of the arms has been CUT OFF!! He is now threatening to put his head in the fridge unless he hears something in the next few hours.

its reported that a crack SAS team has arrived, armed with copies of "Voices from the Shadows" magazine and intend to read it aloud in an effort to bore Derek in unconciousness!!!

NEWS EXCLUSIVE

***We will never be parted say lunatic twins***

Full bizarre and true story !!!!

Amazing news in concerning the worlds only unidentical non related brothers, the Doberman Pincher twins.

The twins have become increasingly worried lately of one of them being abducted by old age pensioners, and, have decided to take drastic measures to prevent them being seperated.

After long and careful thought the two barmy djs have decided the best way to stay together is to have a giant household paint brush embedded thro their heads !!!!!!

The pair have decided to have a large hole drilled thro their skulls then have the 5 foot long paint brush hammered thro both their heads, skewering them permanently together for all time !!! They plan to hire a firm of interior decorators to carry out the operation sometime next week.

This comes from issue 4.............

'kinell, this is the stuff!

When did these come out, and are there any still about? Brilliant!

'kinell, this is the stuff!

When did these come out, and are there any still about? Brilliant!

Mick Howards quite right regarding where R Soul came from, it was done originally just as a bit of fun for the Cleethorpes Weekender back in the 90s.

For the first ( and it was planned , the ONLY issue)we made 50 copies only and just plonked them on tables in the main room on the Friday night, like you do with flyers, they were just a free giveaway, basically to give someone a read and hopefully a laugh when they got back to the chalet or for the next day.

However as things sometimes go, people started asking where this daft mag thing came from, and to cut a long story short we were asked to do another, so after a bit of thought, decided why not?

Roger Banks said he,d happily sell them thru his record list and at nighters etc, they sold for a quid, just to cover the costs, it was never a profit making thing. The idea was really just a daft look at the scene and a gentle piss take , tho im sure some peole absolutely hated it, enough must have liked it to keep it going a few years

Various characters were Soulful sam, Clark dicknell, Roger Blanks, John Ovenchip, Adey Crossword,Pat Brainy, Dave Strimmer, Butch Butchingtons, Dave God , Mr Bobby ( Bob Binsley) Ken Barge , Rob Smith as Jack the Ripper , Deon Anderson and so on.....

other characters were Shrineman , Barry Clanka ( hes a w******) Trumpton Peel the bloke from Keele , Colin Lester the record investor

and other stuff in a daft vein, the rest filled with whatever load of bollocks popped into our heads

As far as I know all the people I knew actually looked forward to appearing in the mag ( if thats what you can call it), I remember once, one of the above got quite upset when he wasnt in the latest issue !!

We did about 3 a year and it ran a few years until work and all that made it too hard to find time to kep it going, but it was fun while it lasted

As to how many were actually sold, really ive no idea, like I say Issue One was a giveaway so thats very very rare, I wonder if ANY still exist?? Altho according to a friend one turned up at a Jumble Sale in Coventry in 2005 and sold its rumoured for 7 pence !!

As for other copies. you never see them anywhere, itd seem theyre very very hard to get hold of ( Roger might perhaps still have a few?? no idea really)

To be honest I thought this was long forgotten, then all these years later it gets a mention on here

Im glad someone enjoyed it anyway

I remember it well dave it was titled "The Doberman Pincher Twins" I think I was with you and your Bri at the Earl when we first saw it.

thats right bob. ive got that issue plus another one in one of the bags in my mams loft

If it's still there you gotta get it scanned and loaded up!

the old manifesto mag had some quite anarchic content at times, my mate anita showed us a copy which had The Manifesto Top Chewie Review.Ratig the most poular (innuendo laden )types of chewing gum favoured by punters and a rather corruscating opinion of what happened to the gum you had in your mouth after a couple of hours of fastidious ,er chewing.ie, Wri**** Juic** Fr*** rated 3/10 "tastes like grandads sp***! among other ah, pearls of wisdom. Think it was probably replaced by" pink eye" im reliably informed. A sort of readers wives section showing unexpurgated content of readers wives husbands cats , budgerigars the odd trout, and quite a high proportion of unsexed chubb.

I've had a dig around in the filing cabinet, and I've got issues 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.25, one I assume is issue 6 although there's no number on it, 7, and 8. Is that the full set ?

I'm gonna spend the next couple of hours reading them and then will scan some bits in if I get time

If anyone has any spares I'm interested in them?
