WOULD YOU ADAM & EVE IT, THE MACHINE IS BACK, AS YOU MAY BE AWARE MY MANY YEARS OF LIVING THE HIGH LIFE ON THE RARE SOUL SCENE WITH IT'S ALL NIGHTERS & ALL DAYERS, ESPECIALLY BACK IN THE 1970s, WHEN I LIVED IN LETCHWORTH, MY WEEK WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:- THURSDAY NIGHT, GO TO BEDFORD WITH MICK SMITH, FRIDAY WIGAN OLDIES BUYING & SELLING 45s IN THE BAR WITH MICK SMITH, ADY C, & PETE WID,  SATURDAY NIGHT BLACKPOOL MECCA (OR AS I USE TO SAY, GOING TO BLOCKPOOL TO SEE THE HALLUCINATONS). THEN ON TO WIGAN ALL NIGHTER, SUNDAY THE RITZ OR CAT WHISKERS OR SAMANTHAS ALL DAYERS, THEN MAKE MY WAY HOME, SO COMPARED TO SOME PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN THE NORTH, US FROM THE SOUTH REALLY HAD TO BE PASSIONETTE ABOUT SOUL MUSIC...OR BLOCKED?

SO THE LAST FEW MONTHS, MY HEALTH HAS WORSENED, WITH TYPE 2 DIABETIS WHICH HAS LEFT ME WITH 50/50 CHANCE OF LOSING MY LOWER LEGS, SUSPECTED BOWL CANCER, HEP B&C, MY ADDICTION ISSUE PLUS OTHER STUFF, ALL LEADING ME HAVING TO TAKE 47 DIFFERANT TABLETS EVERY DAY, THEN THERE WAS A ISSUE WITH MY LAPTOP SCREEN, AFTER ME PUTTING MY FIST THROUGH IT LAST jANUARY AS I WAS IN A SULKING MOOD, BUT NOW I'M BACK, AS I have no sound files for these 3, if someone could put them on for me,

However I must show you the Craig Douglas on Indian $tateside don't know how rare it is but my copy is the only one i've seen, VALUE PLEASE

AT THIS TIME I MUST THANK YOU ALL FOR KEEPING THE CLUB ALIVE, SPECIAL THANKS GOES TO MIKE & A BIG THANKS TO KEV. I HOPE TO GET HIM A PINT IF HE GETS HIMSELF DOWN TO THE STABLE, JOHNNY BEGGS GETS THERE? 

SO HERE WE GO AGAIN, IT SEEMS THAT KEV MADE NO RULES FOR THIS THREAD THAT'S COOL, HOWEVER I STILL BELEIVE THAT ANY RECORD ON THIS THREAD, YOU SHOULD OWN A COPY (thats what the club is all about. picking a 45 from  your collection, it does not matter if rare, northern, beat ballard, funk, motown, or JA Soul, my preferance is rare UK SOUL & classic northern origanals).

Don't do top ten's but if I did this would be near the top.Every time I hear that haunting opening it takes me straight back to Wigan,although it wasn't a new tune by the time I went it still got plenty of plays & in my mind will always belong there.

HI Martyn  / ALL..

Sorry not been about, I have not been able to move of the setae for 3 weeks because of my Type 2 (can we take it as read i's getting worse not better? so if I go missing for a bit, it's that or I have had me collar felt??).....Any way "The END OF MY LOVE" - NANCY  WILSON - CAPITOL -USA & UK and many other country's around the globe more the shame "who thinks they have good rare records if they have a Aussie or Peru copy" I will do without thank you, there is more than enough for my lug's on US?UK for me,.. I first got a whiff! of this classic at the "MALLET" maybe Tony Deller? I love it from it's first note, but it was at the Wirrina I got a chance of buying it on a US issue, however like I did with most of my wants back then, was to ask Mick if it was on UK if he nodded I would search my local haunts to locate a copy,  I had great success with this easy technique, and by the time I went to my next nighter I had it in my box, a really great record,, funny thing having contacts! as I have never had a UK DEMO?

Will be starting a new thread this weekend, £am Monday morning, this thread will be closed, so save your best for 2 days if that's OK?

CHEERS DAVE K
