Why would anyone pay that much for an issue of Blues & Soul?
Well whatever, if you can't beat them, join them, I have two copies of the same edition available, one excellent, one excellent minus with a small tear on the cover, £100 and £75 respectively.
Also other early numbers if you know what issues you are looking for.
Blues And Soul
Blues & Soul # 17 March 1969
One of the really elusive first 20. Front cover is Otis Redding not for the first time featured with a horse.
This 1969 issue highlights for the Soul Historian the level of demand for re-issuing Soul rarities due to DJ generated demand. May alone saw near 20 45s. inc: Astors - Candy, Spellbinders - Help Me, Rex Garvin - JB, Darrell Banks - Open The Door To Your Heart etc.
1969 was truly the peak for British Soul fans - and all-night-club attendance
John Abbey & Peter Trickey review new releases inc: Z. Z. Hill's UK only "Make Me yours" etc
Artist pics & articles on: Joe Tex, Junior Walker & the All Stars. Curtis Mayfield, Ben E. King.
Live concert review + pic of Billy Stewart @ Royal Tottenham 24 January 1969.
Artist pictures of the Van Dykes, Esquires, Johnniie Taylor, Jean Stanback, Theresa Lindsey, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Temptations, center page spread of Stevie Wonder, Joe Stubbs ..
On top of all that info are the 1968 readers poll results for all categories.
Out of all the early Blues & Soul I consider this the most interesting &informative, as always a wonder column from Dave Godin of course!
Perhaps more inciting are the Record company adverts shimmering with retro images and design. Action, Island, Atlantic, Deep Soul, Chess & Tamla Motown all have eye-catching ads that are pure-pop-art!
