Well done Birthday Boy I was sure it was well known as I have all the UK singles but dont collect LPs this would of haunted me for ages? So there you go 2 excellant singles on 1 record, this is typical cost cutting from the Treasured Island and a good example of how poor it is? likw re useing record sleaves and so on, I know of a french man whp paid £150 for an origanal COXONE Studio 1 paper bag..this is true as things like that are extreamly rare? NICE ONE TOMY DAVE(never afraide to ask!)KIL

I was going to post my Demo but it's now up there. the record was played at the TORCH as such I dispute that 1972 is the mid 7ts? although he cant remember but I can clearly Mick Selling the very rare White DEMO for £5 in the mid 8ts 85, and also his UK Monument /London Demo a top collectors item. Poceeding this record was "Magic Potion" B side of the standard "Reach out for me" both songs are Bacharach/David Was Popular in the 6ts by origanal MODS in Soho clubs and at the Twisted Wheel Club making this an all time classic and I believe it was Ady C who gave it a revival s some 20years on from its MOD plays. Also the Scotchman Glaswegion Frankie Vaughn did get fame from covering Lous songs as well as Adam(Budgie)Faith, the EP the Magic Potion of Lou Johnson is also highly collectable on origanal London Label. DAVE KIL

TNIS CLASSIC RECORD WAS PRODUCED BY THE FAMOUSE TONY CAMILLO! (BAZOOKA Fame) HE IS BEST KNOWN FOR BEING IN DAWN "TIE A YELLOW RIBBON" which love it or hate it? it's one of the most well known pop songs of all time, as a Producer he worked with Dorithy Moore who was in Dawn on "Misty Blue" & lead vocal in the Poppies "pain in my heart" and the Gypsies "Jerk It & "it's a Womans World" Old Town records (that is very rare on origanal blue label) the Di Newby has been discussed but Johnson I dont know but as for Johnny? I dont think so. but it would be good if was him, Both sides of this GEM are excellant and is a must for all collections, the UK DEMO is the only way to DJ this record as all other formats are "Cheap as Chips" DAVE KIL

Hi to you All - 1st thing fist:-Over the last 30 years working as a Local Goverment Officor and my Proffeaional position as a Counsellor (20yrs)specialiseing on all aspects that relate to chemical dependancy which is a chronic relapsing condition (I am a sufferer) Working in the Voluntryy Sector & the NHS. As part of my duties I have attended so many funarals of the young and the old, mostley with just hostel staff, council officors and maybe a neighber?..This being so I chose not to attend to-day as I think many closer people than I knew Marge, that does not mean I did not say a few words and lit a candle as I always have as a lapsed RC old habbits but very symbolic? and I was not up to it re:- Depresive Illness. But I do hope that Dave is fine and both mine and Maries Love goes to him on such a sad day (yesterday). Reguarding this post, I am very please at the adult and factual comments that have been made. Also the information given on advice especialy on the practical and complexity that comes out of record collecting and our devetion to the aspect of never conforming to the normallity of others outside our scene, which is as such a extension of our Latant teenage years as for all who come from the black & white Generation are the 1st generation of teenagers, We have done very well, and I always enjoy the feeling of unity that I recieve from people when attending a Soul event when you are greated with a traditional Northern Soul Handshake, this has become a symbolic statement of what is the core of the scene, ...Sadley though the tuth is for all "Time Does Pass us By" far to quickley once we reach our 40 Birthday. This topic has for myself been extreamly informative and in it's self I believe is near conpleate on issues such as Making a Will as it is clear this is a must for all to do. After watching a daytime TV programme about this subject of not making arrangments for the future it could be for some that your intentions may not come to fruition by not updateing you will and resulting in the person you intended to leave you belongings to misses out and even to the piont that a indervidual who you have come to dispier gets your inherancy: -Can anyone with knowlage or in the no clarrify or knows a sight covering the legalities of the gist behing my topic? and should we not make tis as a resource for all people who use Soul-Source UK as it is a issue that at some stage effect 90% of the Membership and would benifit all if a sudden situation occured to ant of us?? "KEEPING the FAITH" DAVE KIL.

Hi if there's anyone from the Wolves Area and could pass a message from Ivor Abadi the owner of the WHEEL, Just read his email to myself, Regarding the news of Franks stroke, He seems to remember you all and wishes Frank good health and to all the patrons of MANCHESTERS most famous ALL-NIGHTER, I Have his phone# if you need to talk to him, However this # is for only Wheelites who would like to speak to him not Voyeur's! DAVE KIL

HI LADS I have a Jamaican blank with George Soule "Get Involved" A Brilliant record that had a UK release on UA in the 7ts, but its the B side that has a familiar 7ts group sound but I cant find out who it is but I should no? the next bit is annoying as I cant give a sound clip, the matrix #ST 12048 G7 means little to me and does not relate to the other side, the record starts of with a plane taking of sound and a female announcing the flight details It has been in my collection for 20+ years do you know it? DAVE KIL

Hi Soulsters:- DESCISION TIME?? A few days ago i was really shocked to here the News that Dave Rivers Original member of the the London area Rare SOUL discoverers had a Hart Attack & Big Frank (Frankie Baggott) Wolves & Twisted Wheel Brother. Also Marge Rimmer who had sadly passed away, and all the people who have got into financial difficulties through bad health issues or unemployment and so on. :- This is not only a time to reflect, it's a time for positive action! On what do you do with your collections if sadly you pass away or your Life style changes, as mine has over the last 6 months, this question I have found troublesome and I no that there is a difference of opinion around this subject, the first point is relatively straight forward if you have implemented and already made a WILL good on you, however a lot of us myself included have not and any discussion on this was made in the good times and romantic in structure not practicable for those who we leave behind as my partner Marie views the scene with great suspicion and relates my drug addiction issues to it (not the people but the scene)however she does know the right people personally to talk to about what happens to all my Records, My concerns over who knocks at the door and views the collection has been covered as I told here that whoever it is will try to Cherry Pick or Rabbit on about demand,Condition, NOC, and so on to cut down on there buying costs, so I have made sure that my closest friends will take care of this Mick Smith being one of the 2. However as stated this is based on a pass away in my sleep type situation? not the unable to work situation or the Financial circumstances that have come about from ill health or unemployment and off course separation/ I would love to no your opinions on this topic? and I have a stubborn attitude as I have sold 3 collections before. And this time it would be totally impossible to start again! DAVE KIL.

yes all OOTP they were obtained from a stall at the back of the tram shed, however i cant remember "just like the weather on a white label" are you sure?? - this is one of the best as not only Anne M & Marline Jones (Bentilee SoT) have their purses stashed with cash from the 8000 Dex I sold but more memorable was finding Rocky Roberts on a UK label which is in a UK Soul collection and has been since 75 fact Leeds 74 the very best of any ISC events DAVE KIL JUST READ POST AGAIN MISSED THE BIT ABOUT ON GREEN OTOOP,

This is a typical late Dave Godin type Sound very Rare sort of Arron Nevile/Metors influanced Northern Soul? Does F all for me it's appeal is what sad mug is gonna buy the thing sounds like it was recorded in a Alabame KFC we BRITS Dont do this type of Soul it's Rubbish with Extra ISHIS on the end "You Know What I Mean" DAVE(It's Rubbish I Tells You)KIL

BUT IS IT RARE? Pete it's a Good one thats for sure a few $$$$ on this EP So its Local Midlands Fodder from Niel R what a good geezer he is. thats SORTED CHEERS EARS DAVE K

Nice one I shall raise my titfer respect, I never got to Sheffield until the 7ts and Samantha's John (BOY) Vincent, one of the very best venues off all time, so Was the Mojo by all accounts the question is what makes a venue great like both those mentioned it cant be a people thing or even a DJ thing Like the Torch 10 what was the magic formula that makes a good night special, I remember thinking this at Wigan when Jr Walker was on to others it was the night Betty Right was on and again unplanned and ad hoc Major Lance dueting with Tommy Hunt now that's a tape I would like to hear DAVE KIL.
