A few flyers from the first year

Unfortunately all you've done is confirmed that your email addy is a live one. It will probably be sold on now to every weirdo and freak that tries to sell obscene objects to have sex with donkeys

Updated. Offers of trades still considered.

The Fabulous Peps - With These Eyes - Wee 3 - VG++ - £50 A current dancefloor monster, and proving harder to find than expecte. This copy isn't mint, but is still a nice clean copy with just a bit of ringwear on the label. Books at £75 in Manships SOLD Fabulous_Peps___With_These_Eyes___Wee_3.mp3 Finally, a real oddity. Grand Stand - Little Misunderstanding - It Will Stand - M- - £50 Not in any of the price guides this was recorded in 1981, but sounds as though it was recorded in 1969. Admittedly the vocal is a little white sounding, but I'm sure this would have a fair run if a DJ got behind it. Grand_Stand___Little_Misunderstanding___It_Will_Stand.mp3 Postage charges: In the UK, 1 x 45 is £2.00 but that includes recorded delivery. Each extra item is 30p extra. Special delivery is £5.00. Overseas - Europe is £2.00 airmail or £6.00 special delivery. However if the item costs more than £20 I would have to insist on the special delivery insurance being taken out. USA, Australia, Japan and elsewhere: £2.50 airmail and 40p for each extra item. Any questions PM me. Thanks for looking, and I hope you find something you fancy. Cheers

Little Anthony & The Imperials - Better Use Your Head - Veep - E+ - £50 Classic oldie in really nice condition. It's also the rarer 'octagon style' of the two labels. Books at £60 in Manships Little_Anthony___Better_Use_Your_Head___Veep.mp3 Johnny Nash - Strange Feeling - Argo DJ - M - £25 Another classic, but this one really is mint, and my guess is the only time it's ever been played is when I played it to record it for this. It's also a DJ copy, which is quite rare in itself. Johnny_Nash___Strange_Feeling___Argo.mp3

Erma Franklin - Abracadabra - Epic - M - £100 And of course it's the much rarer yellow issue. Label and sound perfect. Books at £150 in Manships Erma_Franklin___Abracadabra___Epic.mp3 Buddy Lamp - You've Got The Loving Touch - Wheelsville - M- - £65 This would easily qualify as unplayed mint except for the fact there is a slight storage warp. It doesn't affect play at all though and is only noticeable because the needle rises up and down by about 2mm at one point. Remember the sound clip is taken from this record (Which of course means it's not unplayed ). Books at £75 in Manships. Buddy_Lamp___Yoy_Got_The_Loving_Touch___Wheelsville.mp3

Decided to put a few from my sales box up on Soul Source. All the label scans and sound clips are taken from the actual record. the descriptions are as accurate as I can be. Payment can either be by cheque or paypal (But you pay 4% extra with Paypal to cover the fees) PM me if you're interested, all will be dealt with in the order I receive them. Although I really do want to sell these you might be able to tempt me with the right trade so don't be afraid to ask, and don't be offended by a polite refusal, or even hysterical laughter ! Sonny Daye - Long Long Road To Happiness - Power - £200 NM Absolute monster from Stafford that you never see anymore. The record is in immaculate condition both label and sound. Books at £250 in Manships. Sonny_Daye___Long_Long_Road_To_Happiness___Power.mp3 Jimmey 'Soul' Clarke - (I'll Be Your Champion) I'll Be Your Winner - Soulhawk - £150 - VG +++ I've said this is VG+++ because the label looks a little scruffy, and during the quiet part at the beginning there are a couple of clicks and pops. However once it gets going the sound quality is great. Not a collector's quality of record if you're looking for mint condition, but superb for DJing with.

I'd forgotten that. Anyway, he should have been asking you for Beatles

A few years ago I went Annersley with Margie and Phil & Sue Richards. Apparently their guest DJ had let them down and Mick H had volunteered to step in at the last minute. Now Annersley was all stomping Oldies (This isn't a criticism we knew the music policy when we went), and Mick had never really met Margie and Sue. We took great delight in sending them to ask for the most ridiculous requests, The Snake, Wigan's Ovation etc etc. Mick's face was an absolute picture as he tried to, very politely I might add, explain that he didn't have those records with him. After this had happend a few times he must have watched where they were sitting and realised that I was behind the whole thing. "You bastard Rimmer. That's a bottle of Bud you owe me" boomed out over the mic !!! It was fun whilst it lasted though Another time at Loughborough University I DJ'ed after Chris Anderton who had been deluged with requests for the type of records being discussed here. He'd kindly said "ask the next DJ, he'll have them" . Being the gentleman that I am, I said exactly the same thing. The greatly missed Derek Allen was the DJ on after me, and Derek being such a nice guy played almost ever record Chris and I had dodged. Mind you, he said a similar thing to Mick H when he's finished DJing I know Chris Anderton once got asked "Can you play some Northern Soul" in the middle of his spot (Would have made a change from the Disco he usually plays though)

They should have been prosecuted under the Trades Description act. There was never any Blues and precious little Soul in the magazine for the last several years

The best thing about the French one is it's on good thick vinyl not that nasty styrene which the US one is made of (Don't know about the Italian copy but I would guess vinyl as well)

Hardly current. Six months ago perhaps.

Soul Source members come through in record time. Thanks Daz and Phil, both emails arrived within 20 minutes of my post here.

Hi can anyone send me good quality MP3s of the following tracks: The Revels - True Love The Angels - More Than Ever Now Send them direct to THIS EMAIL ADDRESS Thanks in anticipation

I managed to pick up a job lot of these once, all still sealed, but not all Soul. Gave them to a mate in Canada because he collects this sort of oddity.

I don't think anyone can deny that Frank Popp's singles fill the dancefloor at Northern venues. Hence if it gets played at Northern venues, it must in the overall scheme of things be considered 'Northern' However, if you change the question slightly, and ask, is it Soul, clearly the answer is a resounding NO ! Consequently, I can understand why the dancers like it, but as a Soul fan, it's not for me, I have never considered buying it, and it wouldn't get within fifty yards of MY DJ box. However, horses for courses if you know what I mean. ps Apparently Steve Cato knows Frank Popp quite well. pps Congrats to Steve on his engagement.

If you are looking for Duke & Peacock, they are on my site, www.soulfulkindamusic.net

Bought the first two volume set, and then bought the second set as they were printed. Well worth the money, absolutely fabulous books. They cover from the Forties through to the Seventies, and although I've come across a few labels that aren't in there Bob has done an awe inspiring job. It's taken me years to get just over 320 label discographies onto my website, there are literally thousands in the four volumes. He;s also managed to get the logo for each label as well, and inserts it wherever a label logo changes. The quality is great, and if you go to the Eyeball Production Website you can download some sample pages to check for yourself. My advice would be if you have an interest in labels, just buy them

Good question. I haven't been out this weekend at all because my wife isn't very well, and I'm already looking forward to next weekend. Why ? Because I love the music, the atmosphere, the people, the social life, the records, the beer, the DJing, the journey with friends, all sorts of reasons....

Brett is going to need to sell them when he get's his next seller's invoice from Ebay

Good point, never thought about it like that

This is the cable I've been using for the last eight years, and I don't lock them up on the stage, they stay with me before I DJ, and come back with me when I've finished DJing.

I always chain my DJ box to a table or some other large object, for the very reasons you state above. Why take the risk.

I sold my copy for £700 three years ago. Don't know if that helps.
