I'll be guest-DJing at the mighty fine soul club Function (https://www.clubfunction.com) here in my hometown of Malmoe, Sweden next saturday (Lin & Jamie Taylor are coming over from the UK that night to DJ as well!) and I was asked to submit an MP3-mix of some sounds that I might play for their website so I threw together the mix which can be found below. It's heavy on the 70s/80s side of things, but there are some nice 60s soul/funk gems in there as well. I actually supplied them with another mix consisting of only 60s stuff as well but I've already posted that one on this forum (link).
Here you go:

I have the other Arnie Love on TAP 'Break Out' with the excellent 'Stop And Make Up Your Mind' and 'Heaven Really Knows' on the flip. Haven't a clue on its rarity/price though ?
That one is really nice as well, especially "Stop And Make Up Your Mind", but it isn't as rare as the other one and can be had for about £30-£40 every now and then on eBay.
Some label really should put together an Arnie Love/Arnie's Love compilation. It would turn out great. How much is there? Two 12"s on TAP with 3 songs each, then another two 12"s on Profile and one 12" on Radar. That's 9 vocal tunes and 3 instrumentals. Did he/they release anything else?

Was Ivan Neville's "Dance Your Blues Away" on COOKIE issued on a 12"? Never seen one myself, but have been told that it does exist.
How about Vance And Suzzanne on VANTON? Not impossible, but certainly not an easy 12" to track down.
And that Arnie Love 12" on TAP with "We Had Enough" plus two other tunes on it is extremely hard to find. Yes, Lotusland has turned up a bunch of copies but when those are gone that will still remain a very rare record.

I dont know where to start,flexi-disc etc;i know purple hearts should be about £50 and is northern soul,but this wouldnt be in the same box and you might laugh at me..........
Not that it really matters, but the Purple Hearts 45 is easily £100+ (in-demand by garage rock / freakbeat collectors as well). I wouldn't mind keeping the Ola & The Janglers in my collection, but as I said, if you want to have it make me an offer in cash or trades and I'll think about it.

That is Eurovision-tastic, Sebastian, great stuff!Simon
Haha!
And here they are:
For all you swedes, that's "Clabbe" (yowza! yowza!) at the top right in the second picture... Ola Haakansson who was in this group formed the band Secret Service in the late 70s and scored a european/south american hit with "Oh Suzie"... and then in the 90s he started the independent record label which released The Cardigans hit records ("Lovefool" etc.). The lot of them turned out to be music biz people...

Just spent the afternoon in a record store basement and found quite a lot of nice 45s and LPs (mostly swedish freakbeat/garage/mod type stuff) and amongst the stack of records I brought home was an obscure 4-track gold flexi disc by swedish band Ola & The Janglers. It features a storming version of "You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies" that I thought some of you might like to hear. I've known about it for ages, but it's proven quite hard to track down (especially in playable condition considering that it's a flimsy flexi disc and almost 40 years old!). This is the Dana Valery/Simon & Garfunkel classic given the same kind of 60s freakbeat treatment as The Purple Hearts did on their take of Jimmy Fraser's "Of Hopes And Dreams And Tombstones". I'm not saying that this is "soulful" or should be played in a northern soul setting, probably best to point that out...

Tell me this is not right, £40 seems expensive to me but in todays market sort of acceptable, you used to see this everywhere.A stereo copy sold about a week ago on eBay for about £75:
https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=260084167726
Stereo copies have been selling for £50-£80 for quite some time now.
Mono copies are more desirable and has at times sold for £100+ on eBay.

Just a short clip here, but please have a listen:

I have this down as Percy & Them on TANTUS, but... isn't that a vocal cut?

Rarest Soul 12"
in Look At Your Box
I really like that Nick Allen on T.I.M.E and could do with a copy if anyone's got one for sale. A copy sold for £60 on eBay a couple of months ago.
