Fantastic group, so many great tunes all that have been mentioned plus ' Bring back the love of yesterday' and the sublime Dells/Dramatics-Love is missing from our lives.

Haven't seen Dave since Parkers in Manchester mid 90s. Good lad, great fun at Stafford, with impeccable taste. Still got the tape he done me at the time, great stuff

Denise Lasalle - Married but not to each other Bobby Womack- I'm through trying to prove my love for you OV Wright - Without you

Sean we've definitely got the same taste thats for sure. THe thing is I can't understand why you wouldn't like this stuff. Adam the Sensations Wild tune is magnificent, I imagine that turning up as an ender ata northern do at some point. Don't think it's a cheapie though, it depends how long you've had it.

Fantastic choices Sean, if I can just add Philip Mitchell - Theres another in my life and Controllers - Somebodys got to win. I'm also a big New Birth fan, check their version of 'Mr Dream merchant' stunning!!! Just one more, Betty wright- Who'll be the fool

Fantastic record, got my from Tony Smith along with Arthur Alexander- I need you baby. You got to be mad mate

I've always loved Marva Josie- 'Don't' and Jimmy Beaumont' You've got too much going for you' but my favourite is Walter Jackson 'Welcome home'.

Hi, I think the copy that went for that money was an issue copy with the equally stunning ' Ain't no easy way' on the flip. We were talking about it on a previous 'deep' thread. The copy with 'Try to leave me' is a lot easier to find.

Hi Curno, It was really great to see you as well. I was Djing at Monumental last night and Bob from kilburn turned up, first time I've seen him for ages. The photo of me on the sight is my 18th birthday in '82. Love the Jam picture on the union jack, with Paul Weller looking directly into our Khazi. My mum served him a few months ago and told him and then got his autograph for me

I was a regular at that one. I remember Ion's birthday there, someone bought him a 'top shelf' all the spirits along the top in one glass!!! He through up within minutes and then carried on dancing, happy days Also Jon, just found all my membership cards from RSG, Sensible soul,Cass club,Peterborough and a funny one ARSE ( Aylesbury Rare Soul Experience)

So many great cheap ones. What about a few from the more obvious artists. Don Covay- i was checking out she was checking in & Somebodys been enjoying my home. Wilson Pickett- I'm in love( great version of the Womack tune) Candi Staton- For you & You don't want me no more- Fame Bobby Patterson- She don't have to see you, to see through you Emotions- Show me how Ebonys- It's forever & Your the reason why Marion Jarvis- Hell of a fix Soul Children- Move over & Midnight sunshine If you don't like them I'll buy them off you

I'm a big fan of ' He sent me you' on Mercury.

Brilliant singer, also love her version of 'Ain't no easy way down' from the Dusty In Memphis album.Love her Philly lp with tracks 'Lost', 'Silly silly fool' 'Bad case of the blues' and a 70s lp called 'Cameo' a track called' Who gets your love' a Lambert & Potter penned tune.

On the subject of deep soul, try this site which is run by the excellent John Ridley. www.sirshambling.com Some great sound clips, check out the awesome 'It's got to be tonight' by Willie Johnson

A few that do it for me, Frankie Gearing- Teardrops, Bobby Womack- I'm through trying to prove my love for you, John Edwards- The walls that seperate our love. All the real deal

Hi Tone, Looking forward to Monumental in a few weeks. Noticed there was a Pep Brown- This good thing that I've got -Walden on ebay recently, wanted $250 didn't sell, thought that would go for a few quid, shame mines knackered :angry:

Sorry Andy, I still love the track so much. I was just reading up on the site that you played it about 20 years ago, fair play to you

Hi Andy, I've got the P vine album and to be honest the sound is a bit muddy. Not sure how the original album sounds because I thought it was stupidly rare. But what a voice on 'don't take your love from me'

Hi Gareth, I stumbled across a young kid selling a big box of US 7" vinyl in the Dalston High St where they used to have second hand clothes etc. It was about 15 years ago and everything was 25p or £3 for the James Brown ones I bought a few northern tunes, about 19 copies of Dry Well which I didn't like but traded with Tim Brown for loads of great deep!!! The Chuck Armstrong he didn't want to sell me because it had a funk flip. I wore him down because I had spent a few quid with him and am glad I did.

Hi Steve, It's called ' A Better Place' on Black Rock a real belter . Loved your spot at Essence on Saturday afternoon by the way, didn't know any of them. Hi Tone glad Jans still about, top guy.

Cheers Sean can't wait for Essence, Frankie Gearing, Chuck Armstrong,Womack, all ready and waiting. Anyone still in contact with Jan Barker, used to always read his column in Blackbeat, fantastic stuff! Last met him at Morecambe weekender in the 90s when Sam Dees came over, had a great time. Just been inspired to dig a few out to play again, Truth- Come back home, Willie Johnson- Its me, Sweet Berry- Don't let go. Tony 2 gigs in a year is as good as it gets for me, now that George Jackson is no longer on

Deep soul is my personal favourite as well. The great thing about it is there are loads of great cheap deep soul records, Bobby Patterson -if you hadn't slipped up and got caught, Roger Hatcher- We're gonna make it etc. Of course there are the holy grail deep records, but I'm happy with my classic deep. In saying that I'm lucky enough to have a copy of Rainbow rd. Can't wait for Essence next year to play the legendary Downbeat lounge

Groovettes- Think it over baby Tempests- Someday ( I think played on the coach from Derby going up to the Crown hotel in Fife,first time I heard it) Bobby Hutton- Come see Ghetto boys - Handwriting on the wall Buddy Ace- Pleasing you Loads more, had some great times there. The turnover of tunes there was mindboggling

Really underrated singer, I love 'Groove me' and 'I'm gonna fall in love with you'. Worth seeking out his 'Well Done' Lp shouldn't be too hard to find.
