Hey Tone, I don't get it? How come CDs are ok but MP3s aren't? Are you commenting from a physical product standpoint or from a 'collectors' standpoint? Serious question Mate as I collect neither mediums. I simply can't get excited about CDs (apart from some fantastic sleeve notes on some of them), and MP3s are just ether to me. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Not to my knowledge. Only repressed the once. Real flimsy cardboard too. Easy to spot the original. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Give them plastic lugs a good rinse out willya Pete? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I daresay a few middle aged punters will pull the CD off the shelf at Virgin due to the name, but if the guys have real belief in their talent as a group, they should break out of The Temptations safety cocoon, (surely that's what it is now), and build their own reputations and fanbase. Mr Williamson wasn't even a glint is his father's eye when the real guys made the name. I think your right Paul, most Tempts fans see this as a tribute band now. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Andy, Always played 'em. I collect Motown Promo LPs and play them whenever I get the chance. As for price, sounds about right. I s'pose you could quote someone paying 50 or 60 quid for it, but at the end of the day who cares what it's worth. You've only just got it - Enjoy it. Great LP. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Fair one! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Mark, Is this show with Greety recorded or live? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I doubt if this was the group that actually recorded "Houseparty". A group of friends and I saw them around the same time at Burnley Miners. They had a chick with them on vocals, did ots of current pop/soul covers and I don't think any of them were over 25! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

There's no doubt that some of the people who flocked back to collecting in the 90s are now offloading again. I'd love to know what most of the records advertised on S Source actually sell for. It's a subject I raised a few weeks ago......apparently everyone gets just about what they ask... honest I'm hoping we've seen the first flurry of an avalanche. So many records and so little time. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Pete, Sometimnes Firefox refuses to imbed things like passwords, images, soundfiles. I don't know why but I presume it's to reduce the chances of being spammed maybe? I use firefox all the time now, but on some websites I have to revert back to IE if I want to post an image or something. Hope this helps. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Absolutely. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Adam, S'pose it's strokes for folks Mate. "If I have to keep explaining it, you ain't never gonna understand it". Good job you can't see my record boxes - you'd have a fit! regards, Dave www.theresthatb eat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Jocko, Thanks of the reply... Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Sorry to hear your news Mark. It was something of a tradition at our place Sunday afternoons (time difference). I know the frustrations and hope you find somthing to stay 'involved' in soulwise. Best of luck Matey. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

They were the same price too! Thing is the nasty looking red label would have interrupted the nice flow of W/Ds in the D box wunnit? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com PS. Anyone collect the Cardboard Topps Motown Pic Records. I have a few doubles but I'm a couple short too. Looking to buy or trade a Miracles - Going To A Go Go - anyone?

Just thought I'd throw this up and see if it generates any interest: In the various collections I've put together over the years I always seem to have built smaller collections within them. Some examples are: I collect Motown Mini LPs and am striving to complete them. Another example is I collect W/Demos of 45s wherever applicable. (I once had Larry Clinton Issue and Demo in my hands, knew exactly which one was rarer, but opted for the Demo!). I also collect Ollie McLaughlin's records, (on W/Demos where applicable). My question is this...have you any collections within your collection that you're always on the look at for stuff to add to. One advantage of these 'smaller' collections is that when there's nothing to buy at a record fair or similar , I always look for somethibg for these mini collections. It means I very rarely leave a show without SOMETHING. Anyone? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat .com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Mark, Exactly my thoughts. Hey.....forget JM's Symbol demo...check out the stamped Soild Sound 45 on his auction. I have one....but it took me a long time. I actually got it from Brian Waterhouse who I think you'll probably know. Booted on a lookalike, but the original is a real toughie imo. Don't think I've seen more than a dozen of em. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Mark, I love many of the oldies referred to. (most pre 1979) I have sold records and made a few quid at it (Made Money). I sometimes wear a shirt with a record label on it. I like to attend lots of venues, some of them the ones Mr Darcy sems to be alluding to. Many of my closest friends for 30 years do/have done all the same. Must make me part of the 'divvery' referred to. Ah well....at least I'm happy in my 'divvery'. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com PS. got your message ref 45, should be with you "any day now". Damn! another mouldie oldie, they get everywhere!
