HI ALL..I HAVE STILL GOT A COPY. in-fact I have 2 as it come out on Gapevine, However I still call all records like this as Northern Soul, not funky modern xover the road with a chicken and then ask why? dave

HI ALL After spending 30 minutes writeing about 4 of jackies early records and some history, the most thing I hate on a PC had to happen? jost as I was going to po.......................................... st it vanishes? never to be found? DAVE

HI ALL I have only just read this excellent post, why I had not done so before?? it's got info that i did not no? i am lost for words? fantastic and emotional as always DAVE KILWORTH

HI ALL.... Here is a record that I found way back in the mid 7t's at DAVIDS BOOKSHOP, LETCHWORTH, And at the time I felt it was the Dog;s my exclusive, worth many ££££ oh yes, then as it goes after a come down? not quite the record that I thought it was 24 hours ago, around 1996 I discovered the record at a car boot sale, it seemed to be unknown, 5 years ago and I saw many copies priced at £5 - £10, was it ever played?? I was even going to cover it up as Kenny Lynch! To-day I still play it as such and it's a great example of the CHICARGO SOUND that was so popular in Jamaica in the mid-6t's DOMA RECORDS- CURTIS SMITH- "I LIKE EVERY THING ABOUT YOU" - 101B. RATED ***+ Value £10, enjoy DAVE https://youtu.be/w5ZmCawBUtQ

HI I did not know it existed on BLACK that would be a lot rarer? and more £££££ to this rare record? DAVE PS THE ABC 45...Any one got a copy to sell me please? anouther classic.

HI AND THANKS SOULSORCE at it's best, very best, yes that's the one and it would be my record of the day, but as I don't have it, I will make a differant choice, this as far as I no is far more rarer than most records that fetch over the £500 mark, I remember £25 on00 a list in 85 I offerd a copy to Mick S for £200 12 years back, he declined that copy got £400, for RN. AGAIN THANKS for posting this classic of the RARE SOUL SCENE DAVE

HI ALL...Just been looking at the RARESOULMANS AUCTION, When I saw a ICEMEN 45, a great record, however the group did several great records, the one I am interested in come out on blue vinyl only? but I can't remember the title at all, as they did record good soul any chance that someone can give some info about them, and if possible try to put the record that I am trying to remember up? DAVE

HI ALL Reguarding the chart, I posted as the first SOUL CHART, was there was no previous weeks entry? and for a UK SHOP LIST, not a cut out of a paper job, I rate it as the first?? I was going to put more up, but was watching TV? but I will add these, the record world is a trade mag, I have 20 from 66 - 70 also top adds, DAVE

This has nothing to do with JACKIE EDWARDS? however on EBAY this morning there was a Ken Lazourus? "the RECORD" on WIRL for the buy it now price of just £6 the banner lists HOLIDAY if you want it, VG, But a real good record is the record? DAVE

SSSSHHHHHH PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING, However DAVE the DRUG wants to add this one? In 1970, when this 45 was released, FREDA PAYNE was hit ing the TOP with BAND OF GOLD, And I no what I was doing on the very day it was released???? I had 2 days & a breakfast to go, and freedom, from DC (They should bring it back, to-day kids realy could not hak DC or BORSTAL) TRUE! This Jackie Edwards is very typical of him, but is so 69 and TWEEE, but there is something special to it, thats why I can recomend, uptempo with a few chimes, value £5 but I have not found a issue? £10 for DEMO, it is far removed from to-days scene, in other words it's not a DISCO chune, "turn the beat around? come on and jump to the beat" styleee? you will have to search for a sound file? DAVE

HI ALL JUST LOOKING THROUGH THE CBS 45s, and after reading the JM Review, I had to dig it out, play it, the that led onto the Johnny Howard version and the ISLAND classic by ROLY POLY, EVERY COPY IS GOOD AND ALL HAVE THERE UNIQUENESS? MONGO SANTSMARIA - EL PUSSY CAT - CBS 201766 - 1964. 100% MOD. Rated ***** Value £ (let's wait and see?) A record to keep if you ask me? ENJOY THIS? DAVE [media=]https://youtu.be/S4R1Z7xkm1g

HI ALL BOULEVARD RECORDING STUDIO. 632 N. DEARBORN CHICARGO 111, Was so unimportant with old 5T's recording equipment and in a poor run down state, they did not have a pressing plant outlet to use in any shape or form, apart from knocking out 1 offs as accitates for very few people, they survived just into the 7T's by doing tailor made Radio jingles, it seems that the glory days from the 5T's & early 6T's when they had connections with vee-jay were just a dream? and that's that, I wish I had found more info connecting this dump for you, there aint no real history to tell? DAVE

If you can hum it Carl it may be the BEAS on PAMA??, DAVE K

HI CHALKY Many many thanks to your self, for making this available to SOULSOURCE, I owe you one DAVE

HI ALL well an operation as big as EBay is impossible to POLICE, in-fact they make that clear right from the start, that the EBay community is responsible for how the sight runs, which is on trust, amazing when you think how well it does run itself, I am sure there is some bidding up on certain items that are in the auction? just the same as there is at a public auction, however some sellers use a starting price to secure the item, however, many items have starting prices that are more like ending prices, this is done from being greedy and hoping to mug someone, or by thinking they have golddust, good sellers get the good deals, however as I do not sell stuff I would like to get a fair price for a item, so would I get someone to put a bid on to cover it? what do think? DAVE

Hi all As I like to have information on most things that are important? going through my ephemera, I spotted this chart? As the 6T's POP charts pre 67 were made up? especially the PIRATE RADIO STATIONS Charts, the chart below seems to be the very 1st SOUL CHART,as it measures 12" x 5" and is original not a copy, has any one got an early example predating this one? PS:+ I have changed the color of it, as this is the original, and as such to keep it's value, however you can still download it. DAVE

HI I put a copy on here twice without no interest, real proper USA 6Ts from the HERBIE MAN. Big in Europe but although I paid £2 for my copy, the one advertised only sold for £101 so did you make or lose on it DAVE

HI I have still got my BIG E LEVI BLEACHER JACKET with Original CASINO PATCH/S on, offers, plus 4 original badges from 73/4 all in various conditions from washing when sewed on cloths. no glue marks as these were never put onto bags.all 100% genuine, also have a mint twisted wheel membership cards 67, 68, with provenance letter from IVOR ABADI owner of the TWISTED WHEEL very rare OFFERS you can buy many replica badges these days very cheap, and are ideal for sticking onto bags, rather than ruin a valuable item,

HI ALL A couple of things to say about Jackie's records the Aladdin 45s are all worth having as part of the ISLAND / SUE Records as I think they were all played on the original release dates in the SOHO SCENE, However the "i just don't know" was very hard for me to get, but if you do find a copy, unless it gets the attention from the rare soul scene, it should be cheap to buy? WI-601 I have left behind many times, in-fact I have a VG copy spare for £3.50, also I I should mention his "I must go back" on HORSE, This was a big play in 76 & still sounds good, my definition of rare is based on can a get a copy without buying it from a dealer and also have records that dealers don't no? Dave

HI ALL Pete just reading this through again, first thing gethro is india doing well for himself in the USA and for ages years I wondered what happened to him, as he was so well known outside of Wolves? Again I am really**seed of that the SUPER 8 FILM I shot from inside the CASINO, Has never been seen by myself and all of you, And I find that the fact that Tom Hassett does not give a response to what happened to it, IAN (TAFFY)GUY and others from LETCHWORTH have all seen it, and maybe even further afield, it was still in TOMS possession in the early 90s as it was one of the first things I asked him about, he informed me that he was going to Gert it transferred onto CD ? What I find as spurious about the where abouts of the film, is the lack of detail from those who have seen it, also I can't think why TAFFY MICK or even AIID POTTS did not get copies, as if I had stayed and not moved to Wolves, I certainly would have got a copy, so why did nobody down there do the same, in fact if any one on soul source was on a film from WIGAN am I right in thinking that you would want a copy of your own? I get off at the fact that I am on the GRANADA FILM, It would be helpful if Taffy or indeed any one from LETCHWORTH could tell us more, as I find it hard to accept it was lost? DAVE

HI ALL As I recently played a few records at the sad event of the passing of HELEN, Which was the first spot since the BLACK HORSE days with PEP, I have received positive feedback from many people, who have gone out of there way to tell me how enjoyable it was, long gone are the days trying to compete with the top boys, and far to much money wasted on chemicals, but I would love to be asked to spin some of the rare NORTHERN SOUL from my collection and even the not so rare, as most of my stuff has not been played for years it has become new stuff again, as I am to proud to ask (old school) I will wait for the day to come around just like most collectors DAVE

HI ALL All of Jackie's records were played at either Jamaican or Win-dies CLUBS ON RELEASE, & as such most were played in London's MOD CLUBS and early all-nighter, as you will be aware, both "come on home" & "feel so bad" got played at the ALL-NIGHT clubs in the midlands & the north, with equal success, and as for rarity there is no difference between them 2, however from 72 onwards "feel so bad" has been the one that the northern soul crowd chose to be the #1 and that's why the price has gone through the roof, but many of Jackie's recordings are rarer, as I recall it was his recording of "keep on running! that was not released as a UK 45, got to be one of the first records to sell above shop prices, in fact at one time it was the biggest (why Chubby Checkers "at the Discotheque gets the attention? I Just Don't Know" another record that is Rare, is his SUE WI-328 STAGGER LEE B/W PRETTY GIRL, it is the B side of this recording that makes this one of the must have SUE records, and even though it is more rarer than the ISLAND records, it suffered from the fact it was only played (not exclusively) at the Scene TILES Flamingo Club, Ram Jam club and not many other clubs that attracted the MOD scene, While I am writing this, I feel I must remind some of the younger ones of you, when considering records the are Pre Northern Soul and have a Jamaican connection, you have to remember the price of records back then, the culture of the time, particular with Jamaican Music as for most records pre 68 they were not made for any white people it was music from there home, also the fact that most records become popular through sound systems, the high majority of the records were disposable (just like the Chicago scene, idance fact Jamaicans to this day love the Chicago sounds, this becomes evident in ROCK STEADY,) And the complete opposite to the above, those people who did buy records back then, in the 6T's will and do covert every one, the fact that the kids used Daddy's records as frisbee, but my experience is they are extremely hard to deal with, you may find some rare records the good old white guy approach does not work at all? The records on other labels are indeed much rarer, but that's not a recommendation from me, to get you all looking for them as I say the best are known and he also done some s**t that he liked as the rare stuff is on the B sides, also it is a matter of taste, my favorite record by Jackie is on ALADIN WI611 "I DON'T KNOW" because of it's rarity this obscure side was left in the hands of the in-crowd, in fact Ranking Johnny Manship lists his other Aladdin record as much rarer, however he is so wrong with this one? that is also the opinion of top UK collector ROY GELDER,. most of his LPs are very rare and again with most JA records released in the UK the prices reflect that they are the rarest of all music that was released on a UK LP, so you can throw away that PINK FLYOD - ATOM HEART MOTHER LP. As for the Black Swan label again all records are rare some are nice some are rarer than most, but in my opinion not as good as the SUE or the Aladdin WI-611, i COULD ADD MUCH MORE TO THIS THREAD ON WILFRED EDWARDS, But see what direction it goes in, As a reminder to all collectors mick Smith will be in Wolves this weekend at the VIP RECORD FAIR, and as usual throughout the day he will be joined by top collectors PETE SMITH, ROY GELDOR DAVE WELDING, and yours truly, so any thing that's worth knowing about the UK SOUL SCENE will be there, also for those who are getting to like JA music Pete smith and myself should be able to help you, however I don't give values, only how rare, :rofl:Below are a few scans however, I have incleded a rare island record as a bench mark, it is my opinion that this record is much rarer than any of Jackeis DAVE

HI ALL Well this is not the type of record that is associated with me? and to be honest I was going to play TROY KEYES - TWISTED WHEEL CLASSIC - LOVE EXPLOSIONS? But come across this bit of soul, while up in my loft, and I got a good feeling I should of left it up there?? However a good listen to it, and you may feel the vibe I got from it, in many ways it's a fine example of quality SOUL as TO VALUE ?? is it the same as other Webs stuff? but I doubt it, I feel that this is rare as I don't no anyone with it, but that may be that most people think it's rubbish? I hope not, ENJOY DAVE https://youtu.be/LeUpiz57xtk

HI ALL Having not made any postings to this thread, I thought I would put this on, only done yesterday, but in the pre punk style of the underground press of the early 7ts Kensington High St & Kensington market fashion, The IT stood for International Times and the girls face, is a iconic logo from that period, I have used it as a thanks to the CLASS of 72, However the original sticker of "you can get IT here" sells for over £100 to-day, DAVE

HI PETE Cheers for responding, can you remember that Pet Clarke COCACOLA? RECORD MICK S use to play, yonks back? sounded good Dave
