Can anybody send me a soundfile or clip of this please? PM here or email to markm4soul@hotmail.com - thanks folks!

Two awesome sales.

That's a nice comment Billy. You know what, I've been re-reading some of the comments on here and I reckon some of you lot need to have a good word with yourselves: "there's many nicer girls in the UK" "I've had her" Suggest some folk have a good think before rushing to judgement.

It's not Eve. That's Eve Arslett's daughter, Levanna. They are from Bristol. Eve was a Stafford regular and daughter Lev has been getting into the music big time this last year getting to various venues including the 100 Club a few weeks ago. I was with both of them last night at Seriously Soulful in Bristol last night and Lev was tearing up the dancefloor.

Rough.

Fabulous record and not often seen for sale in good nick - most seem to be worn and weathered.

It's had some plays down this part of the world in the last year or so (Gloucester a/niter) - I think Pete Lyster may have been playing it.

Maybe, if you're lucky enough to win one at that level . If you realistically want to secure one in decent nick then this is (and has been for a long time now) a consistent £150 record. Maybe a ton/ton twenty five if you catch a seller keen to shift. That's realistic my friend.

I played it at GoGo Children last month and have been whacking onto CDs for people......both versions.

Great record and great price. Check out the Lovations version on the same label.

How much was the Carol Anderson please? Site rules ask that sales prices are not deleted so members can track record values etc. Ta.

I used to go to Rock On in Camden Town about once a month in the early 80s. Slim Irish fella with glasses was usually on the counter there - never knew his name. LPs were all racked out in the shop and 45s were in open boxes behind the counter, so you had to ask for the categories. Soul stuff came in a variety of boxes marked 'Motown', 'Stax/Atlantic' 'US labels', '60s Soul', '70s Soul' and so on. Normally the guy was always pretty helpful and would cheerily pull down each box one at a time, even at busy times. I usually walked out of there with 20 or so items if not more - plenty of TMG500s, UK Sue, Stateside etc. One morning, I walked in bright and breezy - it was quiet in there and I asked to see the "Soul boxes", gruffly he replied....... - "Which ones?" - "well, all of them" - "what are you after?" - "well, soul stuff generally" - (getting irritated with me now) "yes, but WHAT!!?? What titles?? WHAT ARTISTS ARE YOU AFTER??!!" - "well, all sorts, depends what you have this month in the boxes" - "Suppose you're after all that Northern dance shit, aren't ya?!!" he gruffly bellowed, glowering at me as he pulled the first box down dumping it crossly on the counter After that he seemed OK. I pulled out my usual selection. He totalled them up and gave me a decent discount on the marked prices, as he usually did. Thanked me nice as pie and said see you again soon mate!! I still don't know what all that was about. Maybe the bank manager had phoned him about the business overdraft before I came in.

By the way, I haven't seen "I Know What To Do To Satisfy You" on TIna for a while - was surprised to see a 6 ton price tag on it the other day. Wish I still had it!

Did it come out on UK Stateside too?

According to my extensive database, you sold one of these last year Mr Weston..... ............and, yes, Mr Collins, I would have had this off you too . Got it on Camille, but I am told the Cab copies sound better - no idea if that's true.

Blimey. Good question. I remember a large room full of record sales upstairs above the main hall, but I can't remember whether there was a second room.

Very happy memories

The acts and backing band that night were shockingly poor and lame, with the exception of Edwin Starr, being the trooper and consummate pro he always was. Lou Ragland was OK. I think the fault was probably mainly with the backing band who seemed to be playing a different set to the songs the singers were trying to sing much of the time . When it was all in danger of completely falling apart, Edwin Starr leapt on stage and injected some direction into the whole shambles. He succeeded to some degree, but it was not a good showcase. Curiosity value only I'm afraid, but still a tremendously memorable occasion for having all those legends on stage in front of us and for that reason alone, it was a great night.
