British Record Prices & Their Collection?
I started collecting in 1966. All that we could buy back then was U.K. issued stuff. As a result I still have a huge soft spot for anything on a U.K. label and will always try to get a British copy of a record ,rather than a U.S. copy if I can. Just recently I have been adding to my Stateside collection with a Tyrone Davis ,Betty Lavette and The Van Dykes.

Vietnam Soul
The Chymes , Take me to paradise . I was listening to this today , without this thread in mind, and heard the line "I fought the war for you". As far as I can make out this is the only reference to the war in the song. Don't know if this classifies it as a Vietnam record.

Dean Courtney On Graham Norton Show
Anybody else hear the Graham Norton Show this morning , I couldn't believe it when he played Dean Courtney , I'll always need you . In the past though he has played Mel Britt and other Northern tracks I can't remember. I can't believe Graham Norton is a Northern soul fan , so it has to be the show's producer.

What Album Never Left Your Turntable When You Were Younger?
For me it was always the Isley Brothers - This old heart of mine , mainly because at the time I bought it the single of the title track was unavailable as was, I guess ill always love you ,although I bought it for these two tracks, as luck would have it the whole album is comprised of great material.

Collecting Records
I have to confess that my personal addiction is any soul on a British label,regardless of what it sounds like.I also collect British labels, again it doesn't matter what it sounds like if I need it to complete a series I'll buy it.I also collect general Northern but only if I like it and get it a reasonable price.Never sell anything on the basis that the day I sell it for a fiver it will go massive and be worth a fortune.
