Well if they are gonna be of the same calibre as the Mr Bennett then I CAN'T WAIT !!  Bring 'Em On.. 😃

Have these been sent out yet @Sean Hampsey ?? I know there can be possible delays along the way, with the various aspects involved in getting a vinyl release out, but not heard anything to the contrary so thought I would ask the question 🙂

Has anyone received their order for this 45 ?? Anyone heard of any problems resulting in a late despatch ??

As said previously things can go wrong outside of the control of the label, but it would be nice to be updated if there are issues..

not yet but not concerned

Ditto

no problems with previous orders and it arrives when it arrives. Have waited for months for previous orders from elsewhere but once you have hands on record only gratitude for those that made it happen and always reluctant to add more stress to others who S stress cup is running over.🎶✊

I'm not so much concerned about it turning up, but when something is advertised as being available from a stated date - and I pre-order, I wouldn't expect NOT to have some sort of heads-up if there was an issue in meeting the dates as detailed.. Or am I expecting too much ???

You wouldn't place an order, say with Amazon for example (other on-line retailers are available..) with a specified date of when to expect it, but then - when you don't receive the expected goods, and receive no correspondence or update,  just sit back and wait until the vendor decides to send it out !! Would you !!

As stated.. Not an issue !! But some sort of statement from the powers that be would be polite.. 😜

Copied from Sean on the facebook page,shouldn't be long now! Can't wait

Afternoon all. The latest Diggin’ Deep release DD010 is now packed and in the capable hands of the Post Office, so they’re on their way and should be with you at some point in the near future. Enjoy! X

Thats great news - but as I don't do facebook I wasn't aware of the situation. Pleased to say I also received a call from my brother-in-law just now to say his copy arrived this morning so pretty certain I can look forward to seeing mine when I get back home tonight.. Ooh.. It's like xmas all over again !!

Arrived ten minutes ago

happy days

Just signed for mine Might be the best one yet!

Mine arrived earlier this morning always arrives a few days after the release date.........

Just gave both sides a full spin out nice production sound quality superb & that Milton Bennett side is top notch & very meaty sound .....

Got to agree with that statement, Mick.. Only trouble is I got home, not to the said 45, but to a card from the postie telling me to go to the sorting office to collect !! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh !! Ah well, only another day to go 😆

It will be worth the wait 

Left work early today, in order to get to the sorting office in time.. and confess to playing the Milton Bennett track non-stop for the past hour !! Absolute stunning track and one of the best 'New Old' releases E-V-E-R !!!! Defo a keeper.. That's for sure..

Mine arrived yesterday - two stunning sides. I  actually prefer The Exceptions, but the Milton Bennett is definitely amazing. It seems to have absolutely everything you'd associate with all of the most well loved and respected Wigan biggies.

Morning all.

Please accept my apologies for the Radio Silence on this forum!

I've not been on SS since providing the Pre-Order Press Release info to Mike, a couple of weeks ago.

To give you an idea on timescales, we always try to schedule the records to be with us, at the studio, two weeks before a planned release date.

In this case it was scheduled for 14th Feb to coincide with Valentines day. The discs arrived as planned.

We give priority to all Pre-orders (those placed before the release date) and then spend the Saturday & Sunday after the release date (always a Friday) to pack the discs.

These are then taken to the Post Office on the the Monday and are labelled up by the PO and shipped First Class signed for over the next couple of days.

So if you've only just got your records they're actually right on time! 😊

Hopefully you'll get many years play and pleasure out of these and I tend to agree with you, the Milton Bennett has all the attrubutes of a future Monster!

Thanks for your patience everyone.

There's more in the pipeline!

👍

Collected mine from local PO depot this morning. They tried to deliver Wednesday and left a card, unfortunately I was in a rush that night and misread the card for another parcel delivered on Wednesday and put it in my paper waste. Remembered last night that I had been expecting this release and went to check the waste. Thank heavens for recycling, card would have been messy had it been thrown out back in the day with general waste!

Looking forward to spinning both sides later at the end of a challenging week!

Fully appreciate the work it takes to get these great records released Sean.

Sean (and others)

Just checked your settings

To keep on top of things soul source wise you could set some of your your 'follows/notifications' to email rather than the notification list

Which mean you would get a email sent automatically (time and such depending on your settings) when someone posted on your article/topics

takes say 30 second thing to sort  and all can be set via

https://www.soul-source.co.uk/notifications/options/

think may be useful

The Exceptions is exactly the reason I bought it, fantastic Group record, will be hard to beat that in the new release of the year for 2020 imo. Early doors I know.

On the same level as the best release for last year, Love, Unity and Virtue, Let love shine on Six Nine Records. Poundsy, who was responsible for the release, along with group member and currently still active, Howard Johnson, sold the limited press from a flat in Newcastle I think, They went quickly, 80% were sold to California collectors where it was originally recorded but never issued in 1976. I think the rest went to mainland Europe, hardly any to UK collectors.

Kev 

so how many of the Milton Bennett were pressed?
