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

HI ALL, SORRY! but sometimes I find myself SHOUTING "4 F SAKE" no offence intended, but just to remind all REGGEA & SKA Collectors, JAMAICA is a 3rd world country, they will use any material to make labels, boxes LP sleeves, there is no romantic notion, on disposable dance music, if it was available? it was available, seems like some good money to be made here? by the way, forinfo only, I got my copy when it was released, a Martin B record, please cough! as I got to get off? the BAMBOO has the Strings & Tings, just for me? also I listed this tune when I joined SS, and SOUL SAM is an old freind of mine, GOOD LUCK.WITH THE SALE! WHERE IT IS? I DON'T NO! PON DE PLATTER, THAT'S WHERE IT IS. SIR D.I MEAN!

HI ALL,,,C is for?......CHESS RECORDS, and as always It's on BRITISH I always seem to be crediting, my old mate, the "mouth of the south" (that's south of the river} the BERMONDSEY BARROW BOY, Mick SMITH, for being the person who turned me on to records like this one? but it's a fact! for me at least. this has to be one of the few records, that grows & grows on you, a bit like a BLACK & WHITE X RATED MOVIE, I LOVED IT FROM THE FIRST TIME IT WAS PLAYED TO ME! and in 2011/12 I could easy see a cover version of it become a HIT for some SORT with pink lippy & blond Barnett, Let's call her "SCRUFFY"? However this RARE CHESS SOUND, comes from the voice of Benice Swanson - CHESS CRS 8008. "LYING AWAKE" - VALUE £80 ISSUE, DEMO £ V-RARE, DK RATING *****A Perfic 60's MOD sound. Thanks to Pete Smith's BEAT-IN RHYTHM MAG for the flyer, which states all you need to know? GROOVY BABY, DAVE

HI ALL...I GOT THIS FROM RODGER NICHOLS YEARS AGO, RECORD IS MINT, THE LABEL IS ****ED DAVE

HAPPY HALLOWEEN..HAVE TO LOOK AFTER MY GOOLIES TO-NIGHT. MM AS THERE AIN'T MANY TO PICK FOR TO-DAY? THIS I GOT OF MICK SMITH IN 1975. "The LURCH" - TED CASSIDAY - CAPITOL UK CL 15423 A, OK! IT's a POP RECORD, VALUE £25 DEMO, But it is a good one, from the box, getting it's yearly play RATE*** I was going to pick the TORCH PLAY from CHICAGO. What's it called? DAVE

HI Some nice stuff, FUNKY STUFF come out on COBLESTONE, As your find had a UK Release although you have arealy nice JB FUNK RECORD with the SOULFUL voice of the GREAT VICKI ANDERSON I would value it as for what it is rather than a money value which is about £4, if you like this type of music and my tip is start to collect the MOJO label as it has many of the best funk at an afordable price in fact if i DJ with my MOJO 45, IT WOULD BE MOVE OVER KEB TIME? DAVE say's BUY MOJO 46s

:hatsoff2:HI ALL I was certain I put these on today?? again it is EMI early 70's, but looks nice with the EMI 45, & OF MY FAVORITE INDIAN RELEASES, AND A TRUE EARLY SOUL SOUND WHATEVER THE LABEL, AGAIN I NEVER NO THE VALUE OF THIS TYPE OF VINYL? DAVE

I Must state that my interpretation of "who is/was SOUL BOTHER/SISTER #1" Was based on the excepted political meaning of how the term arrived in the English language, the speeches of Dr KING, are so SOULFUL & INFLUENTIAL especially when you consider how the raciest society that was the norm in 60's USA, Growing up in the 60's and leaving school in the summer of LOVE 67, no mater how tuff my childhood had been, has no comparison with what your life was like as a BLACK person. bigots and racists were virtually most of our parents and the UK was the white homeland., in safe old England only the under 25s were becoming politically aware, in 69 the TROUBLES BEGAN and it was from that point we started to take notice of issues like equality? The BLACK American had been aware for 300 years, In 68/69 I was having fun in my experimental latent years with sex drugs soul and the freedom of being a loud mouth thug, embracing fashion that I still enjoy to-day, the situation in the US for the poor whites and most BLACKS was worse than what was happening in SOUTH AFRICA, with the Watts riots and the Detroit riots in the North, while in the South BLACK People were still segregated, and lynchings were common practice of BLACKS done by the red kneckers & the KKK, As stated we have Little comprehension of how brave it was for people to even suggest FREEDOM, Dr KINGS stand and fight for freedom with just words as his weapon of truth is for many BLACK PEOPLE the #1 gift of how he was prepared to die, and reach his promised land. and for millions of people there is no other, only NELSON MANDELA comes to mind? However if you are using the term as to how vocally strong in a musical context, it's all about personal taste, to join the 2 to-gather to complete this argument DAVE GODIN said in 1979 "do what's right, not what's white" a profound statement to educate readers of B&S, So with that in mind I will say "that for this thread SOUL BROTHER #1 is the late great MARVIN GAYE with AM&J TMG734 DAVE

HI ALL, Although I have most UK Tamla-Motown 45s including both R&W G&W DEMO'S, This may sound strange, but I have never paid much for any of the 45s nothing over £20 including the R&W DEMO'S, and as long as it's to my taste, I buy it. Over many years of collecting, the Rare mint records were quickly swapped for Northern Soul, However since Ebay has come along the prices of some records are not far off what I got for all of them back in the 70s, This brings me to ask about what did EMI Ireland release? and what are the values of the rare issues and demo's? I have put a copy of Marv Johnson's Irish classic, if this was released as it was not a big seller in the UK, WHAT IS THE IRISH STORY OF TMG, DAVE,

HI ALL..I have always assumed that there term SOUL BROTHER #1, was from the people who become mentors & inspired unity togetherness with a voice to promote FREEDOM from emancipation by removing the chains of slavery, by direct challenge, by facing the fear of fear, unconditionally without self reward but to achieve FREEDOM, without doubt the list would name millions, however in historical terms, Strong activists for a common cause are highlighted, For many the struggle of life and to survive the dark side, you have to acquire Self Awareness, until you understand that the person you are today is a product of other peoples beliefs and not yours by doing this you will have acquired FAITH, by trusting others who have a strong FAITH, you will get HOPE, and with this you can educate and enlighten others by your CHARITY. Many people would say GOD is the #As it is your GOD that you will finally turn to, there is a saying "there has never been a at the best on the battle fied?". However as a Counselor GOD does not exist nor does FATHER CHRISTMAS or the TOOTH FAIRY as a child your parents lied to you! fact, anything like that example is what we call parental as there is no factual evidence of it being true? GOD is DEAD! is an ADULT response religion is a weapon of power to keep the majority from rebelling against the rich, The BIBLE and KORAN teaches us through scriptures of how hard it is to find GOD and those who become Prophets of GOD, Have all done one thing, and it is the hardest test of FAITH there is, to spend 40 DAYS & 40 NIGHTS ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS, If you know any one that has achieved this, you have to trust them, I have been put on BREAD & WATER for 9 days while in Borstal, so 40 days & nights is a tuff challenge, as this thread is SOUL related and through the History of Black American music and West Indian music the message if injustice is to the forefront, the reason and the logic of why the huge majority of the world can't sing SOUL is nothing to do with color it's because the BLACK MAN who lives in the AMERICAS has 300 years of imposed slavery in there Psyche every one of them, that's why apart from a very Small number of BLACK AFRICANS don't have? So to conclude the SOUL BROTHER #1 is Dr MARTIN LUTHER KING, and supported by the many people such as MOHAMMAD ALI and even LBJ, the KENNEDY'S, ARETHA, and the GODFATHER of SOUL Mr JAMES BROW RIP. Just by seeing these people and many many more like minded, gives you PEACE. AMEN. DAVE KILWORTH Counselor.
