nearly forgot Tomasso, if still in Berlin gimme a ring and we meet up, just got back from the big N¼rnberg Weekender (where of course I also played Keith Curtiss ;-)

1500 to 2000 UKP, another Butch biggie and about a small handfull in other DJ`s hands (such as mine). Quite rare...

This is a real shocking sad news. What a great gentle individual he was. What a loss. I am really sad. RIP Alan. Marc

Before anyone complains, this obviously was a joke, its the clip the seller did put up a few days ago

The winner did put his new JD Bryant up on youtube.... ...next to Motley Crue, Pearl Jam, Neil Young and The Doors. Complaining about narrow minded Soulies ? Well, obvioulsy not in this case

there you go..and I don´t even know what a streaming player is LOL.

not the death sentence but surely a(nother?) nail in the cuffin.. /forums/topic/117582-the-end-of-an-erathe-1200-waves-goodbye/page__pid__1206304__st__0entry1206304

Just found this on this internet...goodness me. End of an era indeed. Sure, there are already other products in use (mostly copying the good old 1200) but sure this is a milestone which will lead now definitely into a new era in which night - and clublife will change once and for all. Better leave the next 45 aside and invest in two or three replacement turntables...especially if you are a promoter. The last dance RIP Technics turntables "The phrase end of an era gets bandied about far too often, usually to describe the exit of a talentless no-mark from a reality show, but alas no other cliché is applicable. It's our sad duty to report that Panasonic are to stop making Technics turntables. In a statement the company announced that production would end in February next year. A spokesperson for Panasonic said: "It is a sad day today but due to low sales globally in analogue turntables a decision to stop production has been made on Technics Turntables." Digital turntables and the ease of storing music on laptops means that demand for the turntables has dried up. The memories of illegal raves, house parties and filthy beach sex while Pete Tong had it large on the ones and twos at Cafe Mambo will soon be all you have."

Cant tell as I don´t know them buyers and sellers in person...still, it wasn`t cheapie since the eighties and once demand had risen the price of course had to follow. Its not the first and won`t be the last time were demand dictates a rise in price. Don`t know why I bother though, I bought mine over twenty years ago and still have it, so what ever price, I don`t care really.

I would have said the records 2nd time is already history. Anway, it used to sell up to 300 UKP in recent times (lists and interent). Great record by the way.

Amen Russ, you couldn`t have put that any better. In general I recently had come to the conclusion to stay away from threads like this (or for example that infamous and laughable other thread "Overseas scene, real or just dicking around?") but as it made me so happy I just felt the need to add the following: our Hip City crowd here in Berlin is between 20 and 45 (with one exception making it 63 LOL) but since start of this year we are very happy to have found new regulars in a crowd of young Berlin Mods. I knew from previous talks with them that they are between 16 and 18, this year they already started travelling to Weekenders in Germany, but next year so they told me at the last Hip City they will wider their horizon by travelling to weekenders abroad as well...if that wouldn`t be enough already they even started collecting vinyl now! This is what its all about. F****g fantastic! Its 2009 and here we have 16 year old Mods discovering the Rare Soul scene for themselves!

And only seven bucks below last years final result.

Don`get confused boys....the actual and latest version is the second edition. Volume 4 covers labels S to Z and indeed was the last volume to be publisghed as the final part of this second edition. Edition three is about to be published next year although before there will have been the publication of a comprehensive Soul Labels (only) Edition. Bob is currently working on that. Marc

Tony Ewing who was the founder of both Chex records and The Technics recorded later (1963 onwards) as Tony Ewing & the Four Voices. As Bob already indicated there might have been some further line up changes over the years which may explain the Four Gents connection if there really was one.

Well, one possible source for your confusion might be the fact that Johnny Mitchell was a member of the Majestics (on Chex) and later a member of the Monitors. The Majestics on Linda are a totally different group and do not have any connection with the Majestics on Chex as far as I am aware.

I can not recommend https://cgi.ebay.com/DooWop-LP-Golden-Groups-Vol-38-Chex_W0QQitemZ330377370215QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item4cec069a67 enough to anybody enjoying the early Detroit group sound of Chex Records. And I seem to remember it does even mention the Four Voices somewhere in its extensive liner notes...

sure

"In this world of ups & downs My dreams all fall through Things just don't work out No matter what I do Disappointment haunts me Through each lonely day The world around I see In only shades of gray" ...so we are talking about Shrine here on...wait, whats it called again...ah, right, soul-source ? One hell of a legendary label and 99 % of its output is fantastic example of mid 60s Washington Soul with JD Bryant, The Counts and Prophets leading the way...IMVHO.

true Chalky, Minters very very seldomly seen. Great record. In fact one of my alltime Group records.

Think at 300-3550 its a good buy, at 250 its almost a steal...

And guess where it was played first un-covered..right at the Hip City Soul Club. At the very same time Carl Willingham played his Nora Roberts on Kick Off. Nice little label that Kick Off....think we once did a discography on it on raresoulforum.co.uk Marc

hmm...what about that C/UP I offered you a while ago, we could swap information here ?

bringing this up again as I am really intrigued to get more informations

from the winners name I suspect somebody across the water...may be totally wrongh though. Just a feeling.

Hi Steve, great to see you on here my friend! ATB Marc
