HI Late 77 it was on the SOUL BOWL LIST, did get played at most EASC events, it may of got booted but it's not speed-ed up, like me?? DAVE

HI ALL Pete's point is relevant & meaningful. but sadly from a generation that knowledge stood for "the GREY MATTER BETWEEN the LUG HOLES" not the tip of your index finger, that's for picking your nose (and skilled love making?) It's a shame, but we live in a age where the word skill does not mean qualified, a good example is when i left school, like thousands of boys aged 15 years, you signed tour apprentice indenture papers, which were cut in half 1 part you kept the other the employer kept until you apprenticeship finished 5 years later you were then classed as a professional, most of South Staffs & Warwickshire (now the West Midlands) work force, were highly skilled workers, the shame is even if you wanted to become a patten maker the skills to teach you are gone for ever, and it is for this reason I believe that younger people on today's soul scene miss out, when putting a collection together. Today in seconds I can remember the 1st time I saw certain records, for example in 1972 I was at a ALLDAYER in STAFFORDS TOP of the WORLD, there was a bloke with his record box, and he was surrounded by 5 others all trying to look at the record he was holding, sadly I can't remember his name, but he was wearing a LEVI Jacket with a TORCH badge above the pocket SKINNER JEANS & Royals, the record was a black Columbia UK label of Wayne Gibson "under my thumb", the whole ambiance of this scene, I have witnessed thousands of times since then, but the vibe I got from this made me want to be just like him, I even got a torch badge and a pair of Skinners, as you all no, there are many of you who have had this experience, it was very real you could touch the record and feel the vibes from it, my 1st copy I got from Mick not long after as a R&W DEMO, Back then record collections were classified by venues or DJs, long gone now, as is the feeling of finding a copy of Loraine Silver in a OXFAM SHOP, THIS IS AS A RESULT OF THE INEVITABLE CHANGES THAT NEW TECH HAS GIVEN US???? DAVE

HI ALL...Just remembered this....about 10 years ago,?? my GOD! it's actually 16 years, I went to BRUM, to meet up with Jim Sills, ASHA.G "the ROCK STEADY DADDY" from HACKNEY, & DAVE BARKER (SHOCKS ALLMIGHTY) The purpose of the meet was to make arrangements with UB40 in their local pub in DIGBETH, After that we went to see LINKSY at his base, Keith as I have stated built my sound system, he also built ASHER G's SS, which has a much more power output than mine, while at KEITHS LAS Base, we were joined by Andrew from Notts owner of TRADITION, While I was rooting through Andrews van which had 5000 Jamaican 45's in the back, when I found a box of SOUL 45's all on JA labels, many familiar US labels. this is where I found the Beg Jay McNeely on UK SUE, UK stamper but JA pressed with the Black & red Label instead of Yellow & Black, I was told that it was a FEDDY SPECIAL, it seems to me that there must be some kind of semi legit thing about what gets pressed up, so nothing would surprise me, Any thing could turn up DAVE

HI ALL...This is new to me! got it of RANKING JOHNNY BOY, Although this was not played at the WHEEL, It has got that sound that kicked of the soul scene. however it reminds me very much of a record that I think ALAN DAY played at the junction Crewe in 72 by Leslie Gore - "that's what boys are for" UK MERCURY, NEVER PLAYED SINCE? This is a DYNOVOICE DV213 - JESICA JAMES & THE OUTLAWS - "GIVE HER UP BABY c/w "COME CLOSER". 2 RECOMENDED SIDES, Rated **** Value £40-£60 but would easy fetch more if played, it's also a lot rarer than her big CASINO HIT -"WE WILL BE MAKING OUT" HOPE YOU CAN ENJOY THIS ONE DAVE https://youtu.be/gGeL8xdBGMc

HI ALL...When I joined SOULSOURCE, THERE WAS A THREAD ABOUT WHO DISCOVERD THE RECORDS WE LOVE, At the time, I found it to be a good read, but since then, there has been nothing similar to replace it? Since it stopped, there are many of you who have an interest in who was the lucky 1st person, to find this obscure record? Last Saturday I went to the EXCELLANT STABLES EVENT Wolverhampton, and took a few records with me, a well known DJ/ COLLECTOR, had a look through, and we talked about this record on SATRIL, when out of the blue he told me who discovered the record! what he told me was totally wrong, although I did not pull him up on that fact, however it gives me a reason to try and restart this thread, In this case I can say the DJ named did not discover it as I gave him the copy? like all the stuff that come out on the PRESEDENT LABLES that have been played originally come from 2 LONDON COLLECTERS, who bought all the good stock from the company, and then got all the other stuff, this record was given to me by JIM SILES well known TOP reggae collector, shortly after MICK SMITH introduced him to me in the mid 8t's and his knowledge on reggae is on par with Micks knowledge on rare soul, over the years people like Jim have discovered many a record, yet don't get recognition, the copy in the picture is a nice rare DEMO not from Jim but from have a guess? DAVE

HI KRIS.....I LIKE IT...I LIKE IT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME, Not what I intended at all, but a good idea!, although my offer stands, your idea could be achieved much more quicker & has no real cost, since the threads relating to the JA music scene stopped on soul source, and the fact that I found each thread of interest, thanks to Pete Smith's original concept of them, and the success of the SOULSOURCE RECORD CLUB RECORD OF THE DAY, Plus the contributors of topics relating to the SOUL of JAMAICA, this could just work however in the here & now and being realistic, although I have the equipment. I still can't get my head around the subject of uploading records from my personal collection, as this is fundamental for me, even more so in a challenge as any one can play music they have not got, that would be like taking tunes from a CD, Personal vinyl only, It's a start. DAVE

HI ALL ESPECIALLY TOU GIRLS. This thread has become to personal, in a nice way, so loosen up, having been on the Jamaican scene since I was 15, & was there at the dawn of REGGAE, I love hearing other people's knowledge about the facts, as you all have knowledge about what you think REGGAE is because you have purchased loads of records, is as stupid as a white man talking like a black man? (Rodigan)? is every thing I detest, as Pete is aware, I have strong views about the term SKINHEAD REGGAE, SO TO HELP YOU ALL OUT, AND BRING YOU CLOSER TO-GETHER, & IN-KEEPING WITH JAMAICAN SOUND SYSTOU TADDITION, I AM WILLING TO CHALANGE ANY OR ALL OF YOU TO A PROPER CLASH, AND TO MAKE IT FAIR YOU CAN PLAY SKA, ROCK STEADY, REGGAE, JUMP UP, DUB. SKANK, ROOTS, LOVERS, TENG, RUB A DUB, MENTO, R&B, SOUL, ANYTHING, ALSO AS A OWNER OF A LINKS SOUND SYSTOM MADE BY THE LATE KEITH AKA LINKSY OF BRUM (SAXON) YOU CAN USE IT OR BRING YOUR OWN +3 CREW MEMBERS, SO LET'S GET IT ON, ANY TAKERS KNCKOUT CHALLANGE DAVE

HI ALL WITH 20 MINUTES TO GO TILL MIDNIGHT, I'm just starting to play the records I got last night, I have chosen this one, as a record that I find impossible to not buy, as a 12 year old, and in the Care symptom of that ere, I got to see my family twice in that year (64) my sister was a 17 year MOD, and very much involved in what was in & what was out. she was miss HARTFORDSHIRE, done the Battle of Hastings & BRIGHTON, This record is a typical record that she would dance to, R&B at it's best, but with a FUNK, on the 1's that was mustard & capitalized upon by JAMES BROWN, RATHER THAN PUT THE RECORD ON, AS WE KNOW IT, THIS CUT IS HOW IT SHOULD BE PLAYED?? PYE INTERNATIONAL - 7N-25278 - KOLETTES - WHOSE THAT GUY?. Rated ***** Value DEMO £30 ISSUE £15 Re-Issue £10, IT'S A MOD MOD WORLD! AT IT'S VERY BEST ENJOY DAVE https://youtu.be/Nnma9TRmnu4

HI ALL This sounds to good to be true? over rated records are the ones, that cost so much and don't mean much to all but a tiny group of t*a*s Under rated is some of the many records that come out in the UK, many records that people will not no? so they don't buy? Pete you picked a real jem, are tou going to the STABLES this weekend Pete? DAVE

Previous Thread >>> <<< HI ALL.......I HAVE REMEMBERD, FINALLY, TO-DAY IS THE OLYMPICS START? SO THIS WILL DO TO START I have picked this classic, no real reason, just been in my head for days ENJOY THE FUN IN THE SUN DAVE

Hi All I will be starting a new thread for the RECORD of the DAY LATER on 7PMish...as it takes to long to load on my PC, Can I just mention, this thread is so eclectic & there has not been a single record, that I would reject from my box, this is down to the vast knowledge of all the contributors, what a brilliant All Nighter if this selection got played, The Peoples Choice Lost & Found really sums up what this thread is all about, great record very affordable, but more important it's a Classic, I love the record, great stuff laters, DAVE

HI How astute, the jackanory is based on a real character, but has nothing to do with the record in question, and he is the face on the Equals BSBEB Cover, my point is surely who cares? about this sort of info. Your reply is bang on, and reminded me of (true story) of 1976 when we worked with Glasgow's folk band, the TANNER HILL WEAVERS, At the NEW FARM RECORDING STUDIO, (*how I wish I could go back in time?) we refurbish the studio with equipment from ISLAND RECORDS in Harlesden, the 4 track AMPEX came with a box of tapes, to use as rehearsal demos, for those who I have heard this story sorry, but over 3 days of recording, we destroyed 18 hours of PRINCE BUSTERS UNREALEASED STUDIO TAPES FROM 1967, What we did not destroy is available on an LP from the late 8T's it's about 30 minutes long! topps! DAVE

HI ALL MMMMMMMmmmmmmmm I WAS TO DO SOMETHING? IT'LL COME TO ME!........... Early on I added this record to the thread on JACKIE EDWARDS, however after 3 phone calls received. I think I should of stocked up on it, however? The record was a very poor seller on release, for some of you out there, you may have got into this one about 2 years ago if you are on the UNDERGROUND SOUL IN-CROWD? or like me had records sold records, reminded about records that you have sold, and re discovered it, after playing TIGHTEN UP LP's. As a lover of both soul & reggae, who gets confused by the renaming of music styles, as i love the term norther soul, but hate the racist tag skinhead reggae, this record should be given the category "TIP TOP XOVER CHUNE" As that's exactly what it is, an a must for collectors to own, and play it LOUD!! JACKIE EDWARDS - I DO LOVE YOU c/w WHO TOLD YOU SO- BREAD BR-1100. Rated******6 stars? - Value £15 yesterday (been told that it is worth much more, from to-day?) D the DRUG Say's don't delay & buy to-day! ENJOY THIS ONE DAVE

HI What a funny question to ask? what you can hear is the voice of the man they call the "sweeper" Winston Mc Intosh, who moved to London in 65, as you are aware all recordings are done in one take! so the sweeper tried to get his voice noticed, there is a good PRESIDANT sleave,for BLACK SCIN BLUE EYED BOY, That's the sweeper, he is a old man now, and lives in FINSBURY PARK, he can still be seen wareing his ISLINGTON COUNCIL Donkey jacket swooping for buts? sad story of the STUDIO SWEEPER, Hope that answerd your question? DAVE

HI ALL,,,,,,I am suprised that this classic 2 sider has not gone realy big, and if I am right about rare records! this should be massive with those of you are new to the Reggae scene, this record on BREAD RECORDS is far removed from the "johnny you'r a gun man" reggae, It's a BILLY STEWART SONG, but only our man Jackie can cover the FATMANS tunes like this, both sides are excellantm and I would like to have feedback on it? It

HI ALL A few months ago I sold a copy of Lenis Guess - "working for my baby" - SPQR full color& gold label, differant to those above. The record come out before "jost ask me", With 2 versions of "working for my baby" the side thats on the b side of "just ask me" and a Uptempo version of the song on the B side, although I had it for years, Mick had never seen, and wanted it, I am looking for a scan, However I can recomend the record as 100% northern Soul, got to be rare? DAVE

Hi All A Jamaican 2 hours late Pete? Have you never heard of Jamaican time mate? All I can say about TOOTS is this, having seen many many Live acts, late or not, Toots is one of the top 5 of them all, his reputation of his live preformance is a must, having seen him 3 times his act was differant each time, yet all his songs are classic (in my opinion), The last time I saw him was in Wolverhampton, before the smoking ban? as I no longer smoke the weed, I got wrecked from the intake of passive smoke from the herb! However got realy into the vibe man, like truely amazing man like you no! I mean man it was well roots in it? DAVE
