  1. I Have the Kent (Town 119) issue for sale , the one with Dean Parish on reverse. £10
  2. i've never heard of it being bootlegged, seems we can assume it's legit. thanks for the reply
  3. How do i tell ? selling a ton of tunes, so i'd like to double check on a couple. thanks in advance
  4. very sad . I'm off to listen to a certain intro , that culminates with a rim shot that would wake an army. what a record, what a producer and what a genius. RIP Frank Wilson
  5. Gutted ! this is getting all too regular lately. what a fabulous singer this lady was, i had the pleasure of seeing her sing the big hits and more in Nottm lace market a few yrs ago, the highlight being 'Hang together' Native New Yorker is a legendary record that i never tire of. i remember a couple of yrs back there was a poll on here for your Favourite RCA release, well Native new yorker was my choice, to me it really is that good. RIP Lillian, the lady with vocals so beautiful.........
  6. very sad ! an endless production line of quality songwriting, 24 hours from Tulsa, to San Jose, to say a little prayer, the list goes on. A Giant of popular music RIP Mr David
  7. I'll take the Dean Courtney please .... message me Bank transfer details and i'll send money straight away
  8. Edwin Starr - I have faith in you Mr Hatcher at his very very best
  9. yes Roburt, hence my comment "good show normally" ....... i little research goes a long way though
  10. just watched the Breakfast interview. umm, not sure who did the research, but it is set in 1968, which surely means the term 'northern soul' (mentioned more than once in the show) was'nt even heard of back then ? . the lead guy mentions 'Born a loser' and Frank Wilson ? Both of these were discovered a good few years later. good show normally, but i'll be elsewhere tonight me thinks
  11. Ian Parker replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    Almost Grown in Southend is worth a pop. great little club
  12. anyone can open their record box and guarantee one thing.......... Carl Davis' name will be on more than one of the singles!. very sad news.
  13. Al Williams - I am nothing .... we hear this everywhere we go (even at Caliente last friday), but everywhere we go it gets bums off seats. it is quite the most simple recording, guitars, rhythm section and vocals to stir your soul. true brilliance put on to vinyl
  14. some top tunes there . not heard The Vibrations track for a long long time. Love the Bobby Garrett track too, perfect northern soul record
  15. i still not got refund................. (honest)
  16. Ian Parker commented on Anais nin Carms's gallery image in Albums 2012
  17. Flame n King - oh happy day
  18. was "HARVEY" records part of the Motown stable ? (just browsing that list above)
  19. can't be any worse than that awful 'tribute' thing doing the rounds at present.. Soul music should have proper instruments, proper musicians and proper soul. not a bedroom DJ mashing together a few electronic voices and coming up with an Ibiza anthem...... i'd rather listen to funky soul any day, over this rubbish
  20. great read, thank you for posting
  21. which ones are you looking for ? i have 3 left for sale
  22. Pounding blue eyed soul of the highest quality. £70 inc p/p. lovely condition, few light surface marks, but no noise in audio (excuse my grading, im no dealer)
  23. I dont know what to say really Pete, but i do know the choice of soul nights in your area is quite plentiful. perhaps this is a factor ? whatever it is, thanks for putting on this friendly event , i went a handful of times and i was looking forward to sharing the decks with Glynn at the July date, sadly now not to be. all the best for the future, hope to catch up with you soon.

  24. https://www.audionetwork.com/production-music/album/60s-soul_1749.aspx A drumming buddy of mine has played on a few recent recordings. most written by Steve Levine & Terry King. i'm suitably impressed. have a listen, see what you think. I reckon they've pretty much nailed the recording technique with a vintage Calrec bass drum mic and a single overhead condensor, vintage guitar amps and vocal mics he didnt tell me the reason for the recordings, maybe an album / live shows ? not sure
