Anybody got a copy of the Emotions "My honey and me / Blind Alley" on Volt 4077 in Ex/M nick for sale please? Off list replies please PM or email D.Pearson@bradford.ac.uk cheers, derek

Yeah still want it Jason. To be honest I thought - Emotions 45 on Volt - bah I'll soon track one of them down (coughs). Note this thread was started on February 20th and I still havent tracked a copy down in Ex/M nick. Seen a couple at VG+ or less but decided not to gamble on them. Trawled all the usual places where dusty vinyl lives, emailed several dealers as well, but still ain't got one. Bet I've spent nearly an hour combined over the last month or so searching for this record hehehe. I will get you a copy Jason and the deal can be done. onwards, derek Think I'll post it up in the wants section and see what happens....

Knights of the road-nights on the road or summat. Westbound soul club Bury allnighters 1995 date card. SAS Of GB club Rotters in Manchester allnighter (date unknown?) Manchester Placemate 7 allnighter from 1986. Olivers in Swinton - lives of the rich and famous eh. more as I find them.... derek

A few months ago whilst browsing various soul related sites on the web I came across an article describing growing up in London as a soul boy during the seventies. The author talked fondly about a record store where he spent many Saturday mornings buying newly released vinyl. He asked if anybody still had one of the plastic carrier bags the shop gave you to cart home all your new buys in. What a weirdo I thought - fancy somebody wanting an old carrier bag? Mmmm thats just the sort of thing I'd do! A few weeks later we went to an audio jumble/record fair in an old church hall and in amongst old blokes dressed in nylon jackets with bad facial hair I chanced upon an old Woods Music Shop paper bag sandwiched between some bad rock albums. I used to buy all the Grapevine 45s as new releases from this shop (circa 1979) and being the smart cookie I am - I didn't want to waste my money - I only bought the one copy of Nabay and Lester Tipton. Records in paper bags - how quaint and old fashioned does that sound these days. onwards, derek Woods Music Shop with branches in Huddersfield and Wakefield.....

don't suppouse you wanna sell me your copy do you Baz? derek DP trying to trade on the old buddy routine hehehe

hey up Sutty hows it going? "Crazy" was the first track I'd heard on day time radio in the last few years that made me actually want to go out and buy it. My plan stumbled when I discovered it was a download jobbie. But the vinyl grapevine told me it had been promo'd on vinyl first, haha the search was back on. But after a few nights sleep it had slipped down my list and fallen off. Fast forward many months and DP remembers again. Time to end the search. Thought it would be quite neat to get it on a 10" promo.... Alright Jason if you get chance can you dig out your UK promo please - providing its in good condition I'll gladly trade for the Emotions 45 you're after. Will hunt about for a copy and get back to you. A vague bell was ringing in the back of my mind saying I'd already asked about this UK 10" promo on here but forgot/didnt have time to search for my original post. Thanks Jerry you reminded me I had. onwards, derek

hey up barry - Mmm maybe I got the title wrong will re-check later. Maybe thats why I couldnt locate a copy.......cheers, derek

Came across a bundle of these old bits n bats at the weekend- Southend WMC - this followed on from when Stafford TOTW finished, posted up some pictures last year or so. Kool Kat & Top Dog Gents 1987 - which clubs were they running? The Peacock in Yeadon, Leeds up by the airport. Think it ran Wednesday nights and as I was at college in Leeds till 7.30 that night I often used to call in for a couple of drinks on my way home. Was driving a motorbike at the time and do recall turning up there one rainy night dressed in waterproofs. As I got to the door they said "You do know its a soul night don't ya". Dave Bywell read and weep. Major Lance in 1982-that must've been at Hinkley Leisure Centre, got some pics somewhere. Smokey in Halifax in 1983 would you believe it eh? Still got a Tee shirt from that night! Carlisle 1995 dates - the mid 90s were for our gang what you might describe as 'hectic and adventurous'. The roads north were littered with incidents which still cause us to chuckle to this very day. onwards, derek

I believe there was a limited UK 7" vinyl promo of Anthony Hamilton's "Sunshine" sent out to DJs. Anybody confirm with a scan and who wants to sell me a copy? PM or email D.Pearson@bradford.ac.uk onwards, derek
