Hi all, Looking for the following in good nick. No wol, sol, or 'fine for DJing' gubbins though. Inverts - Time Will Change - Broadway DEMO Symphonics - Guilty - Curtom DEMO Cheers peeps, Dave 😉

I know it's a mute point in today's environment Dave but buying records 'back in the day' was a vastly different animal. Buying records from US dealers would usually leave a margin that people were happy with, whereas most current 'UK sellers' are now armchair buyers who are buying at retail prices. I'd given up looking in sales boxes apart from the ones I knew had gone and found the records they were selling. No point in trawling boxes of hundreds of hiked up Ebay purchases when I could buy them there myself. Dave

I think the fact that no record companies, bar the two that don't partake in this practice have contributed to the thread, says a lot. Dave

Hence Ace/Kent still see the colour of my money, Sir. 😉 Dave

I posted this the last time this was brought up. I buy most quality new releases but have called time on the ones that employ this tactic. I've collected promos of 45s for 45 years and won't have the piss taken out of me. I don't even buy the issues from them now. They've alienated a good customer and I'm sure I'm not alone. Dave

Sidney has been in touch. All is well. Dave

Looking for a little assistance from fellow 'Soul Sourcers' if possible Tried to contact Sidney since March but my emails are bouncing back. Does anyone have an up to date email address or phone number for him please? Any help appreciated. Regards, Dave

I'm looking for a copy of: The Symphonics - Guilty - Curtom DEMO ONLY Any help appreciated. Dave 😉

Yep, well known oldie that's a great double sider. I've had mine since the mid 70s. Cab Calloway's daughter. Dave 😉

Looking for the following if anyone can help? Stratoliners - what Do You Want With My Love - Federal DEMO Symphoncs - Guilty - Curtom DEMO Inverts - Time Won't Change - Broadway DEMO via PM or hitsville2648@earthlink.net Thanks for looking... Dave

Thought it noteworthy to record here on Soul-Source the passing of Mr Bruce Hawes, songwriter extraordinaire who, along with Charles Simmons and Joseph Jefferson wrote some of Philadelphia's most enduring songs. Quite a few people will probably be unaware of his contribution to that city's musical landscape but things like The Spinners, "Games People Play" and 'Mighty Love', were created by the talented trio. Bruce not only collaborated with his two close friends but also with Gamble and Huff on a number of projects. He can be heard playing keyboards on dozens of PIR outings. He also wrote a must have book on the subject of The Sound Of Philadelphia called "Growing Up In The Sound Of Philadelphia" Alongside his musical talent I found him the perfect gentlemen and one who was always happy to sing the praises of his contemporaries as much as take credit for his own endeavours. People who interview artists will appreciate that that is sometimes a trait in short supply. Ever helpful, patient with his novice interviewer and a font of knowledge he was a proper star. Bruce passed away yesterday after a lifetime immersed in music. RIP Mr Hawes Sir, and congratulations on a job extremely well done. Dave

Just had delivery of my first 45 from the Site Store. Very happy with purchase, shipping and packaging. Great service all round. I'll be back. Dave

I have quite a few already and am looking to expand that part of my shelves. I'm interested in any 60s releases on Motown, Tamla, Gordy, VIP. Regards, Dave

Anyone got a Silhouettes LP on Goodway they want to shift? Also, any Motown related PROMO LPs? (except greatest hits or Anthologies). Dave 😉
