Dont know how, but can some geezer put all these soul clips on a mp3/4 and knock em out for a tenner? ED

Brilliant. This was the late and great mighty Bubs signature tune after his mate (Michael) died in a coach crash on the way to Cleethorpes WG all dayer. ED (Also on the bus with Bub and 27 others).

Your wrong. It is an awful Soul record, but its a great Northern Soul record. Play it again. If your toes or feet move, thats the proof. Its more rythmn a blues, but so were plenty of others at the time. Fife Piper etc. Only good for nostalgia these days I think. Ed

I just cant help myself. I bought a copy for a couple of quid from soulbowl, probably 1979/80. They also knocked out stuff like Joe Murphy - Its a weakness, at give away prices. The truth is it was too soulfull to take off, and was a bit part record. It was up against real beauts like 5 and a penny - you dont know where your interest lies and theme from colourman - Teddy Vann. Im not knocking it, as I was guilty as charged for joining the herd onto the dancefloor, but it was a time when 'soul' was not as big a priority as 'dance'. Ed

Weird Imagine going into a pub and asking for a pint in the same lingo!!! Stars Wars bar comes to mind. Ed

Well I think one thing we can all agree on is that its brilliant when you find a rare expensive record for half its 'normal value'. I never found it thrilling paying more for a record than its 'normal value', but some people always have and I understand why. I just paid 750 euros (x3) to see England play on a ticket marked at 15% of that price, so with a rush of blood, I understand why records sell at so called inflated prices. In fact the auction part makes it worse because sense goes out of the window. And the auctioneers know it. Ed

That topic took some reading. Now to shed some light on why records fetch so much, can the learned members of this site hazard a guess as to how many collectors would pay more than £1000 for a single? Maybe 1000. There must be at least 1000 singles worth £1000, although its not likely there are 1000 copies of each one, so those who have a copy of them all are lucky blighters and should make sure they have a good lock on the front door. Some serious money involved if you had an original copy of the 10,000 or so recognised rare/ns tracks. Looks like me sticking with the 40 mp3s that cost a tenner each unless I win the euro or spanish lottery, the UK one would'nt cover the cost. 'Baby dont you weep'. Ed

Cheers It makes sense, but Travis (assuming it is his vocals) sounds off his head. I may have to off mine next time I listen to it to see if its easier to define. On a wider note, looking back I cant imagine how we used to dance to stuff like this. Ed Ed

Excuse me if this has been asked before, but what are the words spoken in the middle. I bought a bootleg of this in about 1977/8 and it was a big, big, revived tune, although apart from nostalgia keeping it popular, it is as wierd as Northern Soul gets. Still I was always curious as to what Travis says. Ed

The real value is determined by 'supply and demand' Even today a forgotten £10 record can fetch £100 if it takes off on the dancefloor. Ebay is a classic guide to this scenario. How many topics on this forum have led by 'who paid this much for that record'. Ed

Was it a disco style, Northern Stomper, or pop record? Keep trying, I posed a similar question and it took about 8 weeks before someone came up with James Bynum - Love Music c/u. Ed

I watched this for the first time the other day, and for sure it inspired me to buy her cd's. The documentary was well put over and had a genuine insight as to what happened to mainline soul from the late 80's. She is the kind of singer that could record an albumn made up from the 60s and 70s material, and make an impact. Not sure about the sister, but as they say we all got a gift for something. Ed

For heavens sake, the starter of the thread knows who has ripped them off and shown disrespect. Why dont you go and sort them out instead of looking for sympathy. Its about time people started to learn the hard way that 'action speaks louder than words'. This could be called 'EBAY RAGE' Sort it yung un!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ed

Current ring tone is S S by CT on V. Turns heads so must be catchy. Ed

Bradleys record shop, Doncaster in the early 80s had an upstairs LP section. In one corner they had somehow got 100s of deleted US stuff including the Frank Dell and Free Angela LPs for 99p. They sold well at the KGB Sheffield for a little more. Ed

She was wonderfull no doubt. Must say though her live show at the Flamingo, Las Vegas is poor to what it should be. Loads of hanger ons if you know what I mean. Midnight train to Georgia has it all vocally. Ed

Looks like being Glenn Hoddles theme tune this year. Ed

Do you beleive it? Soz Ed

Not as good as Betty Wright who was up and at em about the same time. It was rumoured she was not too keen on yall white trash who went along to those concerts. Ed

Rance Allen - Gonna be a showdown - stax. Play it and sing along - if you can. It makes you wanna holla. Ed

Used to pack the floor this one next to Cathedrals and 24 hours a day. Ed

IF ITS THE FILM, ITS GREAT, AND IT WILL TAKE A FEW VIEWINGS TO CATCH ALL THE STORY IF YOUR FIK LIKE ME. OTIS AND THE """"""" TEMPTATIONS. GREAT LINE FROM MR RUFFIN. ED

Is that a religous thing or dont you need the money? Just send the dude a letter with some Ricin applied under the flap (It might be wise to get a self sealing envelope for this job) . You must be able to get an gram or two from ebay. Ed

Esquires - Get on up - Bunky. Compilation called 'Classmates' on Buddah. Motown - Edwin Starr - 25 Miles. (24 hours what a track). Ed

Hold on a tick. Scarboro mod revival between 1975 and 1980. Bank holidays. About 400 to 500 scooters with most of the riders in Parkers with the soul badges and also the scooters painted up in a similar style. In the evening meeting up at the 4 seasons (later Rudies). At the time it was very much in fashion. Today no doubt it still exists in some way, and for sure another Mod revival will kick off again along with the fashion. What goes around etc. If a plus 40 wants to keep the fashion alive, good luck. When Teddy Boys are out and about they are still booted and suited as always. The only difference is Northern Soul has took in at least 25 years of music style progression and in that time the fashion will have changed at least 5 times. What part you stick with is an individual choice. When the Norther Soul museum eventially opens I hope it can reflect every style that influenced the scene, Parkers with patches aswell. Ed
