Dear all, Finally the goods are delivered: my permanent-resident-visa for Canada was sent to me a few days ago - and I am starting to talk to relocation companies for my house move now. As I am planning to bring all my LPs along (approximately 2.000) I'm currently trying to get some tips, to what to pay attention, which boxes to use, etc. No need to reinvent the wheel! The records will be sent from Germany to Canada. Currently I have no clue if this will be done via a container on a boat or air cargo. So, has anyone of you already done a "cross ocean" house move? Any tips? Your help would be really appreciated!!! Best regards YouYou

Dear all, does anybody know a shop in Paris, where I can get a 7" flight case? I have already contacted Cover33 in the UK, but the shipping for the case is so expensive that I have decided to look for one in Paris before. Any help would be appreciated! Best regards YouYou

Dear all, I am thinking of buying me a laptop. One of the things I would like to do with the computer, is to transfer my "vinyl music" on it in order to be able to burn CDs for friends. Unfortunately I am not very good when comes to information technology. Could anyone give me hint, if there are particular things a laptop has to have in order to be able to transfer music to it? Best regards YouYou

Hi there, what is the "Ovenchip book"????? I have never heard of it before!!! Best regards YouYou

Dear all, very often "DJ promo copies" are higher priced than the normal issues. What is the background of this? Is it because they are rarer? Best regards YouYou

Well, records that changed my life? Not an easy questions. To be honest, I can not remember what record in particular brought me to Northern Soul. I guess it was one of the famous Kent or Goldmine compilations. But I clearly remember the track that in a way opened the new world of rare groove (however you may call it) to me. Clarence Wheeler "Right On", played by Florian Keller at "Into Something" in Munich around 1990. I was listing to Soul/Dance/Rap Music before: Earth, Wind & Fire, Gap Band, RJs Latest Arrival, Sister Sledge, Brother's Johnson, James Brown, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Ice T, etc. But when I heard the Clarence Wheeler track, it just blew me away. Actually all the tracks, whcwhere just absolutely new. I was like: shit, what kind of music is this??? I run to Florian, who is luckily not at all the arrogant bastard type of DJ, and asked him, what he was playing. He gave me the cover, and...of course I did not know Clarence Wheeler. This is when I start to read more about music and to try find particular albumq (which is not the easiest in Munich )

Dear all, I am looking for a site in the internet which has some information about reissue/bootleg labels. Background of my search is the following example: At eBay the 7" "O Jays - I dig your act " on Mojo is offered. But, is it a bootleg or a reissue? I know some of "Bootleg labels" like Stardust, but unfortunately not all of them A site in the net where these labels are listed, would make buying records a bit easier! Best regards YouYou

Hey, sorry for that! I have never really paid attention to this line! Thanks a lot!!! Best regards YouYou

Dear all, this time it's more a technical question. Does anyone have a good tip how to print out a thread? If you just print it out without any formatting, the result is a nightmare. I am using the MS Internet Explorer. Best regards YouYou

Dear all, can anyone recommend me a seller who offers stacks of Northern Soul singles? After reading a lot of threads, I am convinced that there are a lot of singles out there who a really nice and good, but in which the hardcore collectors are not interested anymore, as they are a out of fashion or too common. Any help would be appreciated! Best regards YouYou

Hi Danny, I am not 100% sure if I have understood you the correct way. Seems to me that you are looking for a thing to put on your turntable, on which you finally put your 45s. I have bought mine in a records shop in Munich: https://www.bestrecords.biz/ Check out this page as well: https://www.plastic-4u.de/ Click on "7 Single Zubehoer" and then on "Single Puck". Best regards YouYou

Dear all, what is this "famous" material styrene all about? What I know so far, that is was used instead of vinyl to create singles, and that single, which are made of this material, deteriorate pretty fast. I would be glad if someone could bring a bit more light to this issue. How do I recognize a styrene single? Was it used only for single or for albums as well? How fast are the styrene singles deteriorating? Is there something that can be done against it? Best regards YouYou

Dear all, just in case this has been discussed before: sorry for that! I have searched for information via the search engine, but have not found any posts. I have been thinking about buying me "The Strange World Of Northern Soul" DVDs. So, has anyone seen this documentary? Are the DVDs advisable? I believe that a lot of you have lived the whole thing, so there is no need to buy these DVD. But there are a lot of cats, who are either to young or not from England, so the documentary might give a good insight, how the whole Northern Soul Scene started. Best regards YouYou

Dear all, please find below the link to the newspaper article about the US Postal Service strategy change. Best regards YouYou https://www.iht.com/articles/532071.html

Dear all, I have never had problems with Paypal either. A tricky thing is though, that you must choose now, if your would like to pay with your credit card or if you would like to pay with money, which you have transferred before to your Paypal account. Regarding delivery time from the US: sometimes it's really a nightmare. It takes ages. A few days ago I have read in a newspaper that the US postal service will change their way of shipping to Europe. Apparently all parcel where sent to a central warehouse in Europe, and from there have been distributed to the different countries. US Postal will now send again directly to the countries again. Best regards YouYou, Paris

Hi there, I have just tried to find the thread. Unfortunately I have not been very succesfull. Maybe it's too early and I have not really woken up! Would be fine, if someone could post the link! Best regards YouYou

Dear all, thanks a lot for your comments and answers about my question. I have got the feeling that the discussion about bootlegs, reissues, etc. will never come to an end. As far a I now, the orignal Soul City releases were legit. Dave put a lot of work and love in the label to make it happen. From a collectors point of view: how do I know what I am buying? The original "Dave Godin Soul City" stuff or the bootlegs????????????????? Best regards YouYou
