Is this the same chappie as King Ernest (without the 'a') on Barry?

Casino Classics?

Spot on Andy! Started collecting again a year ago - sold up last time around in 2004/05 with a decent number of 'pricey' items in there - did they 'pay me back'? No way. This time, forget chasing the stuff everyone else is after and paying top whack when the tunes are big. I don't go to many events at all, but I'm getting a real kick out of picking up stuff that's not expensive and totally new to my ears.

A few meagre offerings for sale here and, for the avoidance of doubt, a few things to make clear first: (1) UK recorded delivery is included in the prices quoted (2) if you do buy anything from me and you are not happy with the condition, then I will gladly refund you (3) if you do buy, I prefer Paypal (AS A GIFT - no fees to me please, I'm already covering postage) but will also accept cash, cheques and direct bank transfers Vi Campbell - 'Seven Doors' (Peacock) Ex - £10 SOLD Janie Welsh - 'I Can't Stop Thinking 'bout You' (GDC) Ex - £10 SOLD Jerry Washington - 'Let Me Get Close To You' / 'Set Your Soul On Fire' (Excello) Ex - £10 SOLD The Presentations - 'Call On Me' (American Music Makers) Ex (but with small amount of WOL - about 1cm wide in pale red; nice tidy looking record, bargain price) - £30 SOLD The Measures - 'Girls Are Evil' (Despenza) VG+ - £15 The Shirelles - 'Look Away' (Scepter) Ex - £15 Would also take £80 on the lot. Thanks for looking.

Hope it's autographed!

Used to love that Fran Oliver c/up - 'Searching For My Man'?. Anyone know what it is?

.........still looking folks.............

Still can of course! In fact Fred Perry were selling a pre-badged shirt last year. Why!!????....................................

I don't think anybody has mentioned Kiki Dee? Magic Carpet Ride always reminds me of my first times. ................and I had no idea Idle Few were white either. Another of my faves.

THE BARONS - Kid Stuff - SHAGG -VG- £20 HOLD The other side's pretty good too.

£25 sounds pretty good to me, but if you bring that copy along to Ghetto Soul Tim, I'm sure I could do better than that!

Anybody got one they would be willing to let go to a good home? Thanks.

Thank you Dr Christian Barnard!!

Sorry! Just seen it's been sold.....DOH!

Des Parker (alias 'Soul Inc') was selling one on this site earlier today.

I had a few Soul Bowl packs and looking back, yes, there were some crackers in there. A couple which immedieately spring to my mind as having eventually got some recognition and sell for a few beans these days: Jesse Fisher - You're Not Loving A Beginner (Way Out) Shelley Fisher - Girl I Love You (Dayla) I'm sure there will have been more.

Mixed bag of sales all in decent enough shape (i.e. Ex condition with no more than light surface marks unless stated). Paypal preferred (as a gift please - buyer carries fees). Happy to do deals on multiple purchases (said more in hope than expectation). Soundclips are NOT the actual records - anybody unhappy with a purchase once received can return it to me for refund. Standard 1st class postage costs within the UK absorbed in the prices quoted but if you are outside the UK or want recorded etc, that will have to be extra. Ways, here we go folks: #1. Vala-quons - "Window Shopping On Girls Avenue" (Tangerine WD) - £35 (brilliantly cool, Big City, male harmony dancer - some surface marks and a bit of label ringwear but overall very tidy condition) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrlXEaX3W-A #2. Blood Hollins - "Don't Give It Up" (Strange Fruit) - £15 (storming 70s dancer - books at a good deal more) #3. Bob Smith & The Boo-Kou's - "What Do It Mean" (Boo-Kou) - £20 (funky sound - lot of interest in this when I have posted it before but no-one has ever actually ended up paying for it....DOH!! Has rather more in the way of surface marks but nothing that affects play) #4. The Measures - "Girls Are Evil" (Despenza) - £20 (From what I can gather, not that well known - nice male group dancer) https://www.rarenorthernsoul.com/60s-Northern-USA-UK/18832/girls-are-evil/#product #5. Bobby Brooks - "Wise Like Solomon" (Hit) - £20 (big popcorn tune apparently) #6. Viola Wills - "I Got Love" (UK President) - £15 (storming classic - my copy is better looking than the soundclip - no writing or stickers) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av1OeDtOG8U #7. Little Sherman & The Mod Swingers - "The Price Of Love" (ABC) - £20 (brilliant record - nice copy for sale in really good nick) #8. The Shirelles - "Look Away" (Scepter) - £20 (nice, moody mid-tempo - company sleeve too, like the soundclip, and really good nick) #9. Janie Welsh - "I Can't Stop Thinking 'Bout You" (GDC) - £10 (lovely mid-tempo floater) #10. Vi Campbell - "Seven Doors" (Peacock) - £20 (R&B classic - bargain price) https://soundcloud.com/interliner/vi-campbell-seven-doors #14. Earl Lewis & The Channels - "She Blew My Mind" (Rare Bird) - £15 (superb funky dancer) https://www.spinthegroove.com/2010/08/earl-lewis-channels-she-blew-my-mind.html #15. Jerry Washington - "Set Your Soul On Fire / Let Me Get Close To You" - £20 (both sides getting attention) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMbh4Oqualw #18. The Values - "Return To Me" (Invicta) - £25 (really nice mid-tempo atmospheric beat ballad apparently getting attention - £100 on Pat Brady's site - record is probably a conservative VG+ based on Soul-Source guidelines and plays absolutely fine with a few small pops in its quieter moments, nothing bad at all - label is nice & tidy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLaYqkgTghs Thanks for looking. All the best for 2012.

Strangely don't remember this one from the Dome - we are talking Greg/Flynny era I presume? Certainly the type of sound which would have been played there. I think it's great stuff myself.

A couple more items to go - soundclips not from the records for sale: #1. Vala-quons - "Window Shopping On Girls Avenue" (Tangerine WD) - £40 (brilliantly cool, Big City, male harmony dancer - some surface marks and a bit of label ringwear) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrlXEaX3W-A #2. Mel & Tim - eponymous album including the fantastic "Forever And A Day" (Stax) - £20 (absolute bargain at this price for a really nice album and a cheap way of having "Forever" - record is in decent nick; sleeve is good enough - corners are a bit worn) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RJEzj4pFEE These are still around from yesterday's batch, some reduced: Mixed bag of sales all in decent enough shape (i.e. Ex condition with no more than light surface marks unless stated).

This was done for a programme called, if I recall, 'Something Else' which was aired around 1980 I think. The series was one of those 'we want TV for the yoof made by the yoof' type of things which started to get popular back then. Something Else was presented each week by kids from different towns across the UK. This one was done by some folk from Skelmersdale. As I recall, it was introduced by one of the lads saying something like "they wouldn't let us film at Wigan Casino of a night time but we wanted to show you what Northern Soul is all about anyway" - cut to footage of buses and coaches and a soundtrack of Isaac Hayes 'Disco Connection'.

At the time this thread was started, I would have been playing the Embers 'Crazy About You Baby' (as it had come through the post a day or 2 before and has been sitting on the deck since) whilst we finished getting ready to go out and see my lad's band play - shameless plug once again for Dirty Revolution - https://www.myspace.com/dirtyrevolution Right now, I am listening to Dave Pinch's post of Sonny Til's 'Gave It All Up'. Great post - thanks!
