Supercorsa

There's nothing like a good bit of customer relations PR. A genuine customer makes a complaint and as a result gets a life ban, I can't think of any other company in the land that would take such drastic action. Most companies would make some sort of an apology and/or give reasons for whatever the complaint had been about (even if not their fault!), but I am sure most would have also given some sort of compensation. From what I've read of Mr Roberts posts before (having never met the man), I would say that even after all the comments posted on here in disgust at the action he has taken, he still won't reconsider. Very sad indeed.

That was bloody awful! Almost as bad as this, no sorry just as crap as this!

Went out this morning with the wife to a market near where we live, just to say it was Kempton Market (on the racecourse). Anyway whilst looking around noticed three stalls selling CD's. First one I saw was selling home made reggae/hip hop type stuff, second one selling the old Irish stuff, Dubliners/Chieftains, etc., with other legit released stuff. It was the final stall that I came across that made me call Trading Standards once returned home. On the table top (underneath thick plastic sheeting so as you couldn't pick up the Cd cases), I couldn't help but notice a few CD's by the title of Rare Grooves. The badly printed covers had obviously been homemade, but mass photocopied, but there was something else that caught my eye. The use of flyers on them! Aprils 100 Club showing the names Ady Croasdell, James Trouble & Warren from Boogaloo, also a New Untouchables flyer, Prestatyn flyer, even Mace's flyer for this weekend in Birmingham! I don't honestly believe that these markettraders/bootleggers had permission to use these flyers! Anyway I'm waiting for Surrey trading standards to get back to me. I was thinking of buying one of the CD's, just to scan it and post it up, but I didn't want to give them 1p let alone a fiver. If any of you want to have a word with the sellers, Kempton market is on every Thursday.

Isn't the bongo player, Eddie "Bongo" Brown?

Isn't Ortheia Barnes, JJ Barnes's sister?

Gene, any chance of a swap for a blue vinyl copy?

Is there any chance that somebody could send me a soundclip of this, so that I know what it is you're all talking about , thanks.

I know things have moved on, but in answer to the first post by Soulgirl, I think the question is complete and utter bollocks! As for what northern soul is all about read what Mikey wrote a little while back (I would put up a link but can't find it).

Are you thinking of anybody in particular, Dan?

Think you'll find this ebay seller is Adey Pierce from Gloucester. His website address is www.cotswoldrecords.co.uk .

Winnie, two words......MICHAEL JACKSON.

Pete, he may be thinking of Edwin Starr.

You paid too much IMO. I just played that MP3 and think it's crap, sounds similar to early Cliff Richard, next you'll all be playing Move It! Best thing Trini Lopez ever did was die in a parachute jump in The Dirty Dozen!

Dunno why link wouldn't work try this. I've edited this post so it works now!

Edwyn's video, did anyone else notice Charlie Chuck on the drums? DONKEY!

Just thought I'd share my latest purchase with you all. I received this through the post this morning, one of the best tenners I've spent. Choon! https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Gene_Chandl...ool_For_You.ram

After reading Dave Moores article on his site, I'd have to say Ollie McLaughlin. >>see here for the article<<

Since when has that bothered some collectors?

I think it was Club Soul (023) along with Jack Montgomery.

This is the best I can do Steve, no good with mp3's and all that, sorry. https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Moods_-_Rainmaker.ram

Well when you buy anymore records that are dirty, don't clean them! Just sell them to me for 50p each.

Dan, why didn't you just try cleaning it when you first got it?

Does this apply to Gene Chandler releases on the same label? Just that I'm looking at a couple on Ebay and one is listed as a reissue (that some sell as originals). any info would be appreciated, thanks.

You're telling me!

Just out of interest, how much would a copy go for?
