Some great obvious suggestions (Sam Cooke, Roy Hamilton, Jackie Wilson) but surely Bobby Bland deserves a mention here. Gets my vote everytime! Mace.

Always loved the Cub Label (black red and white design) Though the simplicity of the red and yellow U.K. Sue label is also a beauty. Mace

Tot Johnson had a copy of 'Our Love is getting stronger' on U.K. pye promo. Not sure if he still has it, though I can't recall him selling much stuff (cus I would have been round his house with a bag full of cash!) Top collector and DJ old Tot...well worth a booking for all you promoters out there! Shame about his ponytail, but no doubt that'll drop out in a few more years time when baldness sets in with old age!!! Mace.

The guy had an absolute passion for music, and although a million miles apart from our genre of music, that passion creates respect amongst music lovers worldwide. Pearly Gates F.M. has a new DJ on board... RIP Mace

'Ready Steady Go' side was a big tune on the mod scene in the 80s Not sure who they are, but I used to have a copy on U.K. Aladdin (think I bought it off Keith Minshull) Regards, Mace

........and an absolute bargain at £15......seen at £50 in the past. Luverly tune! Mace

Sure does happen on other collectors scenes...check out the value of Beatles promos against issues - I presume same is true for Elvis / Queen / etc. Also some soul collectors prefer promos...cue comment from Mr Willingham on this one.............. Mace

Me stands corrected !

6 - 8pm is surely not 2 hours primetime, especially when you don't open till 9.p.m.???????? You seem to struggle with this a.m. / p.m. business Kev.

Pretty sure that Nige Brown had a copy of Bull in his sales box not too ong ago... Mace.

Thanks Ben....just hope they never caught my ugly mug on camera whilst filming now! regards, Mace.

Filmed by the BBC Midlands, a 13 minute feature on Northern Soul, including the filming at Alsager Civic Hall dancing competition that was held in April. Programme is called Inside Out and starts at 7.30 p.m. - may be regional to Midlands only, but I am informed you can watch it through Digital DAT...whatever that is! Not sure I can pick up Midlands myself so any info on Digital DAT would be appreciated! Regards, Mace.

Anyone know what the Imperials should cost me?? Jodie x Imperials is about £70 Jodie, though it has gone for more. Regards, Mace.
