Thanks alot for the comments, Dean.....glad that you're diggin' the comp. Really pleased with how it turned out, complete with Chris Menists thorough sleeve notes. I managed to squeeze in 4 gospel cuts on Saturday, two of which were first time spins......brilliant to see the dancefloor respond so positively!

Ha, that's great Steve! I've never actually owned a copy on Wand.....is it the same mix as the Mascot 45, just picked up for wider distribution?

I managed to catch that! Pretty awesome stuff!

Yeah, I wouldn't say that the BPS is one of the rarest.......but definitely one of the most desirable. I thought maybe we could have gone for the Keith Barrow cut which hadn't been on 45 before, but to get 'Trouble's brewin' for the first time on the format, backed with such a solid track by BPS, makes for a nice package.

I'd say it's not predominantly a funky soul night, but it's one of those great events that can move across various genres under the 'soul' umbrella, and still have an appreciative, full dancefloor from opening the doors til the lights are up. Thoroughly enjoyed last night, so I'll probably get my playlist together for people to critique.

At a guess, I'd say there were a coupla hundred people through the door @ Bristol last night, maybe more.....and those people without doubt voted with their feet. Just because they're not discussing it on a forum page, doesn't mean it isn't happening. I've not contributed to this thread cos it always feels like you're flogging a dead horse on here when it comes to this topic.....a lot of people on SS will stick to the boundaries of the 'northern soul' pigeon hole, whilst I like to explore the much broader spectrum of 'soul' music. It's part of the reason I joined Soul Source.....it's not 'Northern Soul Source'.

Reduced for a quick sale. Thanks!

I'm open to offers on these 3 rarities, so please drop me a PM if you're interested. Thanks alot!

Hey Ady....I'm not by my collection at the moment, but from memory the only 45's I have filed are the ones seen on Scotts excellent site. If I think of any different titles, then I'll be sure to let you know. Cheers!
