HI TO ALL YOU DANDIES OUT THERE! Think John Waters must of spent his west end nights in Old Compton Street with a bit of "up Doc" on his Cuban's if I was you you should always keep one eye on the alert, especially if there are swoopers around?.. HELLO SAILOR, However the use of make up on the eyes was very fashionable in 65 I can see them now in there leathers eyes like cue bails out on stalks after taking a dozen hearts, rouge was used, and your sisters mum roll on deodorant or body mist, I did not like the Stepney MODS as they would cut you, if they caught you screwing them in the street, I was always prepared in certain areas especially if you were taking a sort home?. Inner London MODS were hard, I think that non Londoners, even if you are from a large city, don't fully grasp how big the place is, and how poor it was, we all could fight, so your cloths did not get ripped Spirit of 69 DAVE

:hatsoff2:HI ALL...........................NO! IT LOOKS VG, DAVE

HI ALL. OVER THE YEARS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED RECORDS, Most of the acetates I have come acros have been in a VG condition. as you will be aware, they were made for very limited short life use, the groves are cut into the alloy disk, so they are considered worthless in the music business world, and most collectors only pick up rare unisued titles and edits,, they are 2 types made, 1 is made for the artist and sound engineer, and the 2 for the A&R dept, never more than 10 are made[, the only work is wipe with lint free cloth, if a record jumps, use a cocktail stick and free up the grove blockage, never use any liqued on them, by doing that, you will not go wrong? :thumbup:DAVE

HI LIAM, TRUST ME BOY! THERE NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING AND USING POLITNES, IN MY LIFE EXPERIENCE, IT TELLS ME THAT YOU CAN HOLD YOUR OWN, IT TELLS ME YOU ARE BRIGHT AND ATTENTIVE, ALSO I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF YOU ARE A BIT OF A SPORTSMAN,? I AM SURPRISED YOUR OLD MAN DOES NOT NO THE PRICES, THE TKO'S IS A CLASSIC INSTRUMENTAL, THAT WAS IMPORTED AS SHIPS BALLAST IN 71, ANY ONE WHO WAS INVOLVED IN THE EARL YEARS WOULD RATE THE RECORD AS IT WAS PLAYED BY EVERY DJ, THE MAGIC TONES ON MAHS RECORDS, COME OF THE SAME SHIP! :shhh:RESPECT TO YOUR DAD :boxing:DAVE

:hatsoff2:" class="bbc_emoticon" src=" " title=":hatsoff2:" />HI ...1005 JAMAICAN PRESS, TAKEN FROM A UK PHILLIPS MASTER, SENT TO KINGSTON, VIA ISLAND RECORDS. ¹THIS RECORD TO ME BACKS UP WHAT, I HAVE TRIED TO STATE A FEW TIMES ON SOUL SOURCE, REGARDING ISLAND, AND JUST THIS WEEK, I WROTE TO MICK SMITH, EXPLAINING HOW THE COMPANY WORKED, ALSO YOUR COPY ALSO  DEMONSTRATES THE POVERTY OF THE COUNTRY, AS THE COPY I GOT FROM ANDREW IN NOTTINGHAM WAS ON A BLACK & RED SUE LABEL,  THE RECORD IS COLLECTIBLE, BUT IT MAKES YOU THINK!

MY RED &  BLACK COPY OF BIG JAY Mc WENT TO MICK, THAT WAS ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO! NICE FIND:thumbup:" class="bbc_emoticon" src=" " title=":thumbup:" />DAVE

Hi without actually having a chance to inspect them for you, They defiantly don't seem wrong to me, So if I was you I would not worry about them, I will stick my neck out as far as it will go to state they are 100% the real McCoy, A recognized British collector of 60's POP & SOUL, will check them out if you need a Provence of authenticity, should not cost more than a THANK YOU PINT, VALUE OF ACETATES INCREASES QUICKLY IF IT IS AN UNRELEASED STUDIO CUT OR A ROUGH EARLY MIX. As they are records that in my world are great, but on the RARE SOUL SCENE sadly there is no real demand, however they are very rare NICE! DAVE K.

HI ALL They look like they were some of my customers DERBY, KGB, COALVILE?? They look well! fit for f all :lol:DEFFO! NOT OUR TIM, AS I LOOK UP TO HIM DAVE

HI ALL I AM SURE IT IS A FEDDY PRESS, PETE. And Marc as you will already no! there is a large JA community in Canada, especially in Toronto, Also in the USA especially in NEW YORK CITY, That;s where all of the STUDIO 1 MASTERS are as the DODD'S took al the Treasure Isle & COXONE studio set up to, also if you look at many of the NEW YORK issues they are stamped by the original JA stamper (early ones only) apart from the labels they are the same! yet you pick them up for $1 each or you could be stupid and pay ££££'s for a Wailers tune on plum COXONE, you can't play the label? DAVE K

HI ALL LETS SEE IF THIS WORKS FOR ME? AS ALWAYS I CAN RECOMEND THE MUSIC THAT I POST FOR YOUR COLLECTION. This evening I have had an urge to share this fabulous instremental with you! as I am sure it's never ben played on the SCENE? If it has I still claim credit for discovering it, as when I did play it out, top UK collectors Roy Geldor (Darlaston) & Mick Smith did not no it and I have never seen it listed, so I hope you dig it, as it is a classic inst with the 60's JAZZ MOD sound that i could listen All Night to! Oh yeah! From the pen of the great Lalo Schifrin - "Venice after dark" UK MGM-1329. RATED ***** VALUE Issue ?. Demo ?. HOWEVER IT IS RARE! I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE ORGAN BREAK? :g:MMMM! DAVE K Recommended Record Of The Day, From Your Collection - Soul Source Rare and Northern Soul - Page 142.flv https://youtu.be/_BUqhsnrFFw

SORRY NO SOUND CLIPS FOR THESE RECORDS, BUT THEY ARE ALL WORTHY PLAYS:- HI ALL, I HAVE BEEN PLAYING RECORDS FROM MY UK COLLECTION, AS ALWAYS, TONIGHT IT'S THE CBS RECORDS THAT ARE FROM THE BOX! AND I AM SURE YOU WOULD AGREE, THEY ARE FORGOTON GEMS, THAT HAVE BEEN OVER LOOKED BY THE CLASSIC A SIDE? The late DAVE GODIN is on record as stating that Betty Swann MONEY recording, "make me yours" is one of the finest examples of soul music, I would agree, but the B side "I will not cry" is also a fantastic play, on CBS 2942 RATED ***** VALUE £50 Issue. DEMO £100 & A DEMO with it's Picture cover = offers, I should add that there is a northern soul version on the B side of CONTEMPO-RARIES CR9019 that also deserves to be played, depending on what version you prefer I guess? value £10, Next is the dogs b, Written by VAN McCoy, the SPELLBINDERS "FOR YOU" CBS 28622 VALUE £30 ISSUE, DEMO £50+ RATED ***** If you don't no this because you got the "chain reaction" on DIRECTION you have missed out for many years on a classic! ENJOY! :rofl:DAVE

HI ALL As I have been watching Pete Smith vidio #3, and very good it was all that info, especialy about, your coments on the"TROJAN" DUKE REID & the Treasure Isle cut was good, however to sugest that REGGEA is fast ROCK STEADY! Needs looking at as REID was one of several sound men who claimed the new Uptempo Bass Rythem that got it's name like in the same manor JUMP UP SKA ROCK STEADY AND REGGEA, THROUGH THE DANCE STYLE ASSOCIATED with the rythem, and it's the drum and bass that makes it, However my record for to-day is the B side of FRED HUGHS CLASSIC, OO WEE BABY, I LOVE TOU, - FONTANA TF 583, "LOVE ME BABY". WHAT A SUPERLITIVE SOUL 45, THE TOP SIDE WAS A HIT IN ALL THE SOUL CLUBS WHEN i LEFT SCHOOL, I CAN REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I HERED IT BEING PLAYED, IT WAS IN THE CASTLE VERNON BOWLING ALLY IN PRESTON, Ihave often wonderd who the DJ was as he played BOB KUBIN the CHEATER, folowed by I'M A BELIEVER, THIS WAS EARLY 67 I WAS 15, TREAT YOURSELF TO BOTH SIDES AND THEN BOTH SIDES OF "THE DUCK" Anouther FONTANA record with a FAB B side :huh:DAVE K ENJOY!

HI ALL IT'S A JAMAICAN PRESS, NOT A BOOTLEG,. HOWEVER! I CAN SEE WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM! JUST FOR THE RECORD (Although a third world country, JA #1 industry after tourism, was the music industry, & some may think the 45s are a bit of a joke, at least an efort has been made by putting a label on) I am aware of many unusual US SOUL RECORDS & UK POP on all the wrong labels, sadly not many northern stompers were released, the tragic part of the history of JA music is that although some of the finest singers (male) and musicions, along with the producers did not predict technology! especially the CD, THAT KILLED THERE MUSIC SCENE IN 18 MONTHS, LEAVING SHED LOADS OF RECORDS, STILL TO BE FOUND? DAVE

HI PETE THE SAME AS A MORRIS CHESTNUT- AMY DEMO MAYBE? DAVE

HI PETE IS THIS ANY HELP? I DON'T NO MUCH ABOUT THIS LABEL ONLY THAT WHAT MICK SMITH GAVE ME YEARS AGO, THAT SOME OF THE BLANKS HAVE DIFFERENT SIDES TO WHAT WAS ISSUED, AND SOME WERE NOT ISSUED? :g:DAVE

HI ALL DAVE GODIN, DAVE RIMMER, FRANK ELSON, & PETE SMITH, I NO YOU NO? DAVEK

WHAT'S THE PIONT OF THIS? "WHO ARE YOU? ARE YOU THE SQAUD? WHAT DO WANT FROM ME? I AIN'T DONE NUFNG RONG? I TELS YOU. AINT IT OBVIOUSE"? DtheDRUG

HI MIKE I LIKE BOTH VERSIONS, The Barry Smith version was to be released in the UK on the PEOPLE LABEL 119,However it was at the time when ISLAND RECORDS split from B&C/TROJAN, Hence some copy of the BROTHERS "in the pocket" have a TROJAN HEAD on the label rec #118, the next release 119 is the unused BARRY SMITH, But unlike the US copy it has a different B side, which i would like to play but cant record it??but have a scan, It's a nice collectible. DAVE THE UNRELEASED PEOPLE 119 UK 45.

HI ALL And a big hand for Mr Clap?.There is only a few real great NORTHERN SOUL RECORDS that it does not matter who you are! it's like chocolate irresistible and infectious to doing a double hand clap, Miss LL a massive ALL-NIGHTER HAND CLAPPER DAVE

HI ALL "EVERY BODY GATHER AROUND, I GOT SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO SAY" Much has been written about this record over the years, but it's always turns out just like all the other times? It's a bit like watching any feature clip on Northern Soul that we all have witnessed an embarrassed Soul-star trying to be efay with the media interviewer, and the same tripe comes spewing out of their gob! Q, "how many people turn up for the event" A, "they here about the All-Nighters from their mates, word of mouth or read about it in BLUES & SOUL MAGAZINE." Q, Do they come far?. A, They come from as far a field as Lands End and from John O' Groat's. Now I have been to many of the great All-Nighters, and I have never met some Scotchman from John O' Groats? and when I went to Lands End no one lives there, and the girl who made the tea was a sumer temp from Barnstable? she was so way out she did not know the day of the week? and she defo did not go to the CASINO ITell's you! SOLOMON KING V LEVI JACKSON...Once upon a time the Levi Jackson record especially the stock.. the issue was considering the rarest! However it is the Solomon King DEMO that is by far the rarest, as it was actually the B side when it got it's first plays at the TORCH by KEITH who I assume discovered it as the reissue by Levi Jackson, the record was available for 4 months then deleted about the time it started to get played (remember the TORCH played many records that were not even 3 years old and a few were still in the shops, BUSTER PEARSON was one of KEITH'S cover up's) back then the very thought that the record was sung by Mr "she wares my ring" was as bad as if Ken Dodd had done "street cred" was vital then whether you come from Lands End or John O' Groat's DAVE

HI ALL I take it as read, you have either sen it for sale? or you have paid for it? This DEMO cost me 50p from BUTCH, ("I was going to mmakesclock") Pic #1 does not show the damage? Pic #2 does if the color is changed, to hihi-litehe vivinylthis record was "NEVER RELEASED IN RED VIVINYLR RED LABEL"- JUST IN CASE A RUMOR STARTS DAVE PICTURE #1 PICTURE #2

HI ALL, JUST LOOKING BACK, ATTHECAMEO PARKWAY LABEL. AND ALTHOUGH COLECTING NON-UK or US RECORDS IS A MINEFIELD OF HARD WORK, I RECKON THAT THIS ONE IS OK, ASITWON'T COST AN ARM OR A LEG TO GET, IT'S SWEEDISH, VALUE £20.

I remember buying this along with Tommy Good on Canadian Tamla, for 50p each, funny thing is! I can't remember the VOWS being played??? at all at the CASINO? GREAT PICK from YOUR COLLECTION DAVE

Greetings Quarter Pounders with Cheese & Fries? HI ALL ,, Remember back, when God's Dog was a pup, and over 1973/4 all the different records that had the Frankie & classics's backing, I think there was 6 all=together? As I sift through the BOX, I have 2 examples of the same or similar backing trax, to show. However I could have put at least a dozen on, but that's not late night fun! so I thought of your selfs to add, and if you have them?, Could you scan the all the TEDDY VANNS? PLEASE DAVE I LIKE BOTH TITLES. AND AGAIN, BOTH CLASSICS!

OH! NO, NOT THE HAND IN FRONT OF THE EYES AGAIN? EXPRESS YOURSELF? ANDREAS, DON'T LEAVE A GESTURE THAT IS OPEN TO ANY INTERPRETATION, I WROTE ABOUT THIS VERY SYMBOL ONLY LAST WEEK, THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO USE IT,I FIND DISAPIONTING, I WROTE WHAT CARL JUNG WOULD INTERPRETATE BY IT'S USE WITH NO WORDS?, TO REITERATE MY POINT, 1, THE SUGGESTION THAT IT'S A MARTIN B, X OVER TUNE, IS AN INSULT TO EVERY SOUND MAN & DJ WHO HAS PLAYED AND LOVED THE RECORD FOR THE PAST 41 YEARS, IF YOU FOLLOW, ALSO I PERSONALY COULD QUITE EASY PLAY A EVENINGS JA SOUL THAT MARTIN WOULD NOT KNOW? IF YOU CAN CREDIT ANY ONE FOR MAKING IT POPULAR, IT WOULD BE ASHER "G" THE ROCK-STEADY DADDY, THE MAN FROM HACKNEY. OR JIM SILLES "THE BUSH=DOCTOR" THE MAIN MAN FOR DISCOVERING 95% OF JIM COX'S PLAY LIST? IT'S A GREAT RECORD, AND AGAIN I URGE PEOPLE TO BUY IT, AS THOSE WHO OWN IT WILL NOT BE SELLING IT, AS IT IS WORTH MORE AS A TRADE THESE DAYS DAVE THE BLADE

FAMILY AFFAIR Inst - HEY AMERICA Inst, were both big sides at the TORCH, & the latter was before the MOJO UK issue Just for info purposes only, RECOMMENDED DANCERS DAVE K
