Soulwolf

I usually support Record Store Day, this year's event is on the 18th April,soul releases include the following: Timeless Legend Synchronized LP on Expansion. Willie Tee Teasing you Again (45 single on Gatur). Robert Parker I caught you in a lie (45 on Nola). Roy Redmond Ain't That Terrible (45 on Harlem Shuffle). Rare Pleasure Let Me Down Easy (45 on South Street Disco). Johnnuy Pate Shaft in Africa 2 x 45 on Dynamite Cuts. Appears to be mainly resissues, personally I would rather see new releases/unreleased material or previously download only released on vinyl for the day, any views?

Like to see the Roland Johnson on a 45 thanks for posting. Heard these three recently on Solar Radio and thought they sounded good. Rita Ray - How Much Can A Small Heart Take - https://ritaray.bandcamp.com/track/how-much-can-a-small-heart-take Warren Cambell Its gonna be allright - Michelle David and the Gospel Sessions Yes I am -

This is a good thread and bugging the old grey cells. I seem to recall an article in Black Echoes regarding the first disco 12 inch coming out, this was sometime in 1976, the title of the 12 Inch was something like Get Off Your A** and dance. There is Get off your Aahh and Dance by Foxy but I didnt think that was the group. The first 12 inch I bought was from Jumbo Records in Leeds - Undisputed Truth You + Me = Love the same year, for between 70 and 90 pence. Still got it today.

Sad news indeed R.I.P Les

Cleethorpes Pier Sunday 1977 great sounds, atmosphere etc Went by bus made up of Barnsley and Wakefield punters including Bub and Paul Rowan.

There’s a copy of Stop Girl for sale on the latest Anglo American Sales List - £200 M-

See a pevious discussion, although some of the shops mentioned may now have closed - https://www.soul-source.co.uk/forums/topic/326543-new-york-crate-digging Also see this link about record shops in New York - https://foursquare.com/top-places/new-york-city/best-places-record-shops I tend to go to East Village - A1 Records and Good Records, nearby is the 12th Street Ale House, good selection of beers, happy hour etc. Also endorse members comments re the flea markets. Happy digging, be useful to hear how you go and if you managed to find any bargains.

I first started collecting soul records in 1975, buying new releases and Northern from Jumbo Records, Virgin in Leeds, and the weekly fix of the list from Soulbowl coming through the letterbox. My most expensive purchases at this time were £15 for Matt Lucas Baby You Better Go Go, bought in the Precinct Pub, Leeds, getting through to Soulbowl very nervous and asking for Shane Martin I Need You listed at £20, it had already gone so bought the Jewels We Got Togetherness for £15. Both buys in 1977, and a lot of money at the time, as my salary was £25 a week. A year later I got into jazz funk and disco and my collection of about 150 records was consigned to the attic. In 1981 the girl I was seeing pestered me to buy a car, ended up selling nearly all the records for £60 to go towards a mini. This included lots of records bought from Soulbowl e.g. Don Thomas, The Sapphires, Slow Fizz and Matt Lucas. For some reason I kept the Al Foster Band, K-Jee by the Nightlighters, Lamont Dozier Going Back to My Roots and Jean Carne If You Wanna Go Back. The relationship and the car did not survive. Moved to London in 1993 and a couple of years later came across a CD in HMV Oxford Street called Dance, Dance, Dance a collection of 20 Northern Soul Classics. This reignited my passion for Northern, started collecting the Goldmine CD''s and in 1997 decided to start collecting vinyl , my first purchase and one I had bought from Soulbowl over 20 years previously Fantastic Johnny C Waiting for the Rain. The most I have spent is £175 for a RCA demo of Hold on Judy Freeman, about six or seven years ago, some others around the £50 to £80 mark - What Kind of Lady, Linda Jones, Breakaway Valentines etc. I have enjoyed collecting again, coming across new sounds to my ears, (e.g. Stafford, Crossover, Latin) and the tunes highlighted by members on Soul Source My other half is Spanish and does not understand why I need to buy vinyl when you can download it, and why I always ask for Soul Box sets at Christmas - (must have got lost on translation last year, she bought me golf lessons 😫

My copy arrived from Anglo American in today’s post, it was worth the wait😎

Agree with all the above comments, although the two record shops on Hanway Street have gone. If you go up to Camden, also consider going a bit further on the Northern Line to Alans Records at East Finchley - https://alansrecords.com/page2.html Owner is very friendly, lots of soul 45's at reasonable prices. One other option , tube to Notting Hill and Music and Video Exchange 40 Notting Hill Gate, soul section is upstairs. Good luck

Photos of my demo copy I purchased from Soul Bowl in the 1990s. Plug side is Destination No More Heartaches. Hope this helps.

Rest In Peace Denise, quite like her version of Billy Butler's Right Track

Is this for real ! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B000024JO6/ref=tmm_acd_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=used&qid=1512592376&sr=8-3

Leeds Central, Wakefield Unity Hall, Capitol Soul Nights at the Dome and These Old Shoes London. Good times and happy memories 😎

Only two I have signed by an artist are Edwin Starr Time from a Torch Trentham Gardens all nighter back in 1997. The second is the LP Darrell Banks is here with the alleged signature of the great man himself. I have got no proof and picked up the LP from Ebay about 8 -10 years ago. Back in 1979 remember going to see the Jackson 5 in concert at Wakefield Theatre Club. At the end of the night saw the Jacksons getting on their tour bus. They all signed the tour programme I had bought and being young and stupid at the time I gave the programme to the girl I was seeing .We split up a couple of weeks later and she kept the programme 😂

Likewise

Wish I had a time machine to go back and buy these. I remember buying The Sapphires Slow Fizz, and The Fascinations, from Soulbowl but can't remember what I paid. I had forgotten about the LP listings. The Larry Santos LP I remember being in demand together with Bobby Hutton and the Skullsnaps at the time (1975/76). Happy Days?

Bobby Wells Lets Copp A Groove

Anglo American sent out an auction update today. They admitted they had made a mistake and that the copy was the limited repress from John Anderson from 1976 and have withdrawn it from the auction.

The weekly lists from Soulbowl highlighted new releases, a couple I can remember from around 1975: Lee Andrews and the Hearts Can't Do Without You. Barnaby Bye Can't Live this Way Boogie Man Orchestra Lady Lady Lady George Benson Supership The Miracles Love Machine

There is not much in Camden, only two shops now.Sounds That Swing on Parkway and Out of The Floor on Inverness Street. Worth a visit is Alan's Records East Finchley. Further afield Record Exchange Notting Hill, Reckless Records Berwick Street Soho. Also FOPP Covent Garden opposite the Cambridge Theatre is worth a visit for cheap CDs. Currently have the Japanese Atlantic series - Sam Dees, Ben E King for £3 each and some of the Backbeat series for the same price. Happy shopping?

Sad news Right Track sounds as fresh today as the first time I heard it over 40 years ago R I P

Fantastic read and brought back happy memories. First stated receiving the lists in 1975, late for school waiting for the post. From memory there also used to be the new releases on the front page e.g sexy sugar plum, Alfie Khan, Barnaby Bye etc. Got back into the scene around 1996 and started getting the lists again picking up the Pointer Sisters. Records were always mint. Like a lot us, I wished we had a time machine. Also wished I had purchased some of those soul packs.

Yes.......as is also the big easy and 100 yard dash. Also check out good man from his stone rollin album.

1969 first record I ever bought Tears of a Clown Smokey Robinson and the Miracles Tamla Motown from Elys in Castleford when I was 11. Can't remember the price. Fast forward to 1975 just got into Northern Soul and went to Jumbo Records in Leeds and I think the first import single I purchased was on Red Coach -Universal Mind -Something Fishy a Going On from the bargain box on the counter. Same year remember going downstairs in Virgin Records in Leeds where they sold soul imports and a lot of Northern and coming out with a 'big tune' at the time George Benson Supership on CTI.
