Harpo do you know what I liked about Fleet ...? Absalutly Nothing ..... 78 was the year I stopped going to soul do,s got a job working in the Kitchen at Butlins Clacton???and wa\it for it guess who used to go on Holiday to Butlins???? yep good old Brian (I will watch your records Dave) And his luvley partner Mad Aline, yes the took about 1/2 oz & 800 back street blues to see them through the weeek....GOOD LINK YES?? DAVE KIL.

I bet it will be just as it has always been at the end of my life, after that I wont be bothered about much "I Guess" till then i will continue to play Soul 45s on a daily basis when I want and what I want. Remember it is all about the Vinal TThats why its called Record collecting DAVE *MORE THAN SKIN DEEP)KIL.

Nice one Pete, this is a nice collectors piece, sounds to me the way you describe the 45, it is a 68 trade record perhaps warning managers of Dance Halls Radio of its racy lyrics probably needed some explanation??? can you remember playing banned record? REGGAR did not stand a chance back then with its RUDE Words. I would class this as obscure and a collector's completest record, I have not got a clue of its value but similar type records go for £15 to £25.. Changing the subject a bit I have a BBC TRANSCRIPTION PROGRAME LP "MOTOWN SINGS THE HITS" VA Mint- nice Record But who collects LPs,once again RARE

"WAY BACK WHEN GODS DOG WAS A PUP" THERE WAS SOUL HEVAN IT WAS CALLED THE TK WHAREHOUSE UNTIL IT BURNED DOWN? ALL THOSE RARE RECORDS, MELTED GONE FOREVER R.I.P TK...DITTO WHAT DAVE SAID DAVE (MORE THAN SKIN DEEP)KIL.

Hi all UK issued Soul Hounds "I bet Pe Pete'S is thinking I know Dave will post on this record", To me this is one of the finest UK rarities, has a great pedigree (TORCH PLAY) + there is a early Bootleg of this, however it is not rare?. My last 2 copies were local (Wolves) and a few years back, 1st was a Green & White Demo that I got from John & Malc (the Talc) shop £25 sold it to Mick £30 the same week, and the 2ND come from Pete S completely out of the blue this is the copy on show a small label tare and after a bit of cleaning up (not skimming up) it is very healthy ex - As to value it has 2 selling points 1. it was withdrawn on the same day it was meant to come out? thus making the Stock copy extremely rare 2,. It is a UK record with no US pressing any record with this history makes for a must have, I noticed Mick Has 2 other UK must haves on his EBay sales? as I have never owned a Mint Issue, I would say it would be over the £500 mark easy, I would not sell my copy until I had a better copy but I would not consider any thing under £350 and Even that sound low, as it is rarer than Bauk to Bach MGM Issue and that must be a £300 record now??

HERES MY NICE MINTY ONE, SOLD THE ISSUE FOR DOUBLE THE PRICE I PAID FOR THIS ONE DAVE(MTSD)KIL

Hi 3 Before 8 :- I remember back in the days of SOUL Mobile Disco,s most up and coming DJ,s use to end the set or the night on an instrumental, many used GREEN ONIONES BOOKER T.When I met Mick Smith properly in 71/2, up until then he was a Stevenage Face, was at the DIVE BAR in Hitchin the resident DJ Billy MAC (Torch goer) used to finish on 2 great endears Earl Van Dyke "the Flick" and Eddie Gorme "Every Body Go Home" I HAVE Always had Wynder K Frogs version of "Green Door" in every set that I have ever played and way back in 71 would end with James Carr "freedom Train" The Spinners "it,s a Shame" and the Adore mention Booker T sometimes it was "Time is Tight" the name of my first mobile Disco was SOUL ASYLUM but hardly ever got any bookings I use to get more BLing for others the worst being the CAZY HAT DISCO yes you have guessed it I had to ware a sombrero?? DAVE (Mi AMIGO) KIL.

THIS IS A VERY RARE ADD FROM 68 - 69 WAS MY FIRSI YEAR TO VISIT THE WHEEL (BUCLED HUB) AND ALL MY MEMROBILIA IS IN THE SAME STYLE AND FORMAT AS THIS ADD. THE FANTASTICS WERE ALSO THE FABULUS DRIFTERS AND YHR INVETATIONS WERE THE ORIGANAL TEMPTATIONS? OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BEN E KING HAD NOT TOURED THE UK SINCE 67 AND GY 69 THE RARE SOUL SCENE WERE DRIFTERS MAD, HENCE THERE REISSUES AND HITS ON BELL WERTE INEVATABLE SUCH WAS THE DEMAND FOR THE DRIFTERS.

SELLING UP? OR CASHING IN, GREAT, I HAVE DONE IT 3 X TO PAY FOR CHEMICALS. LAST TIME I SPENT OVER 24 k IN 1 YEAR 1990/1? WHEN TIMES ARE HARD AND THEY ARE FOR ME, INVEST I HOPE YOUR RECORDS GO AND YOU MAKE A PROFIT, HOWEVER THE HALCION DAYS OF FINDING STUFF AS WE DID IN THE 7ts WILL NEVER RETURN AND WHEN COLLECTORS SELL THERES 45,s THERES ALWAYS "CHERRY PICKERS"? I CALL THEM DJ,s WITH THEIR SINGLES BOX AND THATS IT, THEY SOLD UP/OUT, YEARS AGO. IF YOUR COLLECTION IS UNDER 1000 45,s I MAY BE TEMPTED SELLING UP WOULD NOT HAPPEN FOR MYSELF**WHUFC "THE TRUE SPIRIT OF 69 MORE THAN SKIN DEEP**DAVE (BRINGING BACK THE GOOD TIME) KIL**

Hi all* Have you ever had that sensation were you no can things get something is not right? At 17.15 today I was in the Sound Room, when I could sell a sort of plastic burny type of whiff? Nose To Brain error? It took at least 1 minute for my brain to engage, here are the clues record room with shelves of vinyl, the smell of plastic burning! WAKE UP! I here you saying? FIRE FIRE! I here you shouting! and suddenly F*** F*** I here myself crying "F"it, you no that spotlight that you were meant to throw as it is unsafe? more F&Bing the lamp is on a pile of duties that you were playing down the phone at midnight the lamp has fallen onto the dusties***reality sets in and you approach murmuring Hail Mary Full of Grace, pick up the Evil Lamp and check the Vinyl it,s a US MGM ISSUE more foul language fills the room MGM and VERVE are my favorites, you notice that the dusty is a stock copy and in the right sleeve and a polythene cover, Maybe Just Maybe it was the poly thing? and at least 2.5 Hail Marys you got to have some luck this year? Not me not this year Answer is no! the record like all my records are special, and this one is a great oldie northern stomp er with group harmonies and had a nice B side, it was mint- how do I replace it whats its value I play records by the quality not the price, any way I ain't got the money to replace it the moral of this tale is clear out the junk, and I really am Angry, apology to Mick for Swearing DAVE KIL

KELLY BROS IS A GREAT SIDE, HAVE YOU SPOKE TO ROY G? I PAID £70 FROM MICK I THINK YOU WERE THERE, NO IDEA OF THE VALUE TODAY? i WOULD ALSO LIKE THE KELLY BROS PRESIDENT LP DAVE (MTSD) KIL

Hi Stefan, I wont patronize you but as I have said before until this happens to yourself know one knows the "if only,s" as such you have to accept your loss and although hard at the moment with your emotions and feelings leaping from anger to sadness, it would be wise to start the grief process now? However if you do hear any whispers on there whereabouts?? give me a shout I will get them back for you, try and unwind and relax without the use of chemicals? don't forget any news no matter how small if it,s a lead it.s a start? any one who knows or sees some of Stefan's Tunes please Contact me DAVE (More Than Skin Deep)KIL.

Well done Pete, I still think you are Nutz to sell the Jon Andrews Indeed to sell them all is Nutzy DAVE THE COLLECTOR "SLOW AND EASY DOES IT" KILWORTH.

Nice one Mick, what in particular are you looking for as my Action Label will take all day? but its a good project to do, and I will contribute when I can, you can have the ones already on my page to start with? DAVE(MRE THAN SKIN DEEP) KIL.

I Don't know what all the fuss is all about? if you were born 1956 or before and you use to read HOME OF THE BLUES then BLUES & SOUL monthly and then biweekly DAVE GODIN was a must read, it is that simple. by the time he went to BLACK MUSIC mag 73/4 I for one did not find him as good as the early days,and if you were just getting into the soul scene then he really did not offer the inspiration of his early work? the exception is the interview with Ian Levine in BM well worth a read even today, it was a supreme write up DAVE (MORE THAN SKIN DEEP)KIL.

I wonder what Carl Jung would of made out of this statement from a middle aged man in 2009?? "Dave Everson is GOD?" It reminds me of the 1st time I saw the phrase "Rules OK!" early 7ts in Leeds on an estate just of the Hyde Park (forgot the name of estate but it was rough, Kids had a barricade and bonfire on the street and decided who came and went) When I first saw the statement LEEDS UNT Rule KO! it was an exciting remark? of course they do? so do I KO!, a few months later and all football teams Ruled KO!, the power of the statement really meant something, in the same way as "Dave 4 Marie" does. "Dave Everson is GOD" whenever I see the word GOD I always translate it by putting another O in the word to see if the authors remark stands up to the meaning of the word? so GOD becomes Good AH that's Better don,t you think? "Dave Everson is Good" and you get your answer of course he is, in fact he is a very decent Bloke, one of the best on the scene, I first met him at the Casino don't know what year as he has always been around, typical Potteries Man, in fact I can honestly say I have never met a bad person from the Stoke area, with 1 exception Keith Minshull! good old Keith Moody F**ker but probably the best Moody F**ker of all time. Dave Everson is a genuine Bloke even though I am still waiting for my competition Prize that I won on Signal Radio (About when the Impressions Started)*** that's a gag line if ever I saw one?

RIGHT ON PETE YOU HAVE MY VOTE ON THIS ISSUE 100% DAVE KIL

To Be Honest yes quite a few people from North Herts THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE Dave(more than skin deep)kil

You could not get in any night club in the late 6ts and early 7ts with Jeans or Boots, thank god they bout out LEVI STA PRESS and no way could you get into a Lacarno Tiffenies or Mecca without a Tie on as any body who went to the Highland Room in Blackpools Mecca will tell you, so I think comon scence is the rule we all know that we dont need door men at a Rare Soul Night, they are only there to chat to

Sorry Baza I got a bit mixed up in my reply, The Notts scene for Black Music was as good as London all be it on a much smaller basis. In fact the first real Northern Soul person that I met came fromNottingham JOHN WILKINSON, He lived not far from myself for a few months, and he turned me on to "at the Dicspteqque Jackie Lee ect, A good bloke, and as for Jamacan Music there were a few Blues clubes in the area which ran from the 6ts until the 8ts with local sound men and people playing the tunes from Wolverhampton Mr Macguiness & from London Duke Vinn I no for sure played tunes in Notts also Laural Aikin lived around that area, so it was the exception to the rule, plus it had loads of crumpet?? DAVE (MORE THAN SKIN DEEP) KIL

Jimi Hendrix**Ditto that, I like all the mans stuff!! even his session work that goes much deeper than theISLEYS & Curtis Night. he did work backing the greats and the obscure. In 1970 we nicked a mini van of somme hairy people who had got it to see HENDRIX at the Isle of White (Hendrix facts)..I also remembr buying the Bootleg LP the LULU SHOW Tribute to Cream and the great Wild thing from Monteray I think? i purchesed it from Richard Branson along with Bob Dylans "Talking Bear Mountain Picnic desarster Blues", I wonder if Richard ever met Simon Souesan, EGO CLASH or what, I know someone who has 2 Ampeck master tapes of JIMI playing accoustic he is still sitting on them ??
