Venues that play no soul titles like the Strangeloves is good enough reason to stay well clear.
Now what I was hoping to find out by doing this thread is "what the current trend in collecting Soul". As a collector I have always gone for RARE UK 45's then for classic all nighter 45's. However over the last 10 years, finding the records I really want has become a challenge, I mean I cant remember the last time I saw a CAMEO PARKWAY DEMO or a RED & WHITE Tamla Motown 45 for sale, or even a CRAZY HORSE David & the Giants 10 miles high original for sale, can you?
So what is the current trend for collectors of SOUL, by looking at the 45s in the Soul Source Record Club it would seem that SOUL from the 7t's is the most popular, as for the records on Facebook I find that I have either got a copy, it's priced to high or I just don't want it. So it's over to you to state what's IN or what's out when it comes to collecting, to end with I have always been aware that what get's played at venues is not what a collector of soul would pick if given the chance? It's the collecting point of view I am after not the DJ.
