From your timeline 71 - 79, it says it all really, so need need for me to comment further, those that know, know.....a bit like it used to be & a bit like some of the clubs that still keep to the original ethos of striving to deliver quality underplayed sounds.....not complaining about the venues you prefer tho, keeps the divs out the proper clubs ;-)

That is an insane price for this, someone needs snap this up pronto...

Hello mate, yes, but you are being more specific now than in your original question, you asked if people were still buying & yes I am, half a dozen things this week, but Im not generally going for the stuff everyone else is chasing, there are still cheap, good records out there & particularly if you are buying a few things from the same seller, as you save on postage......

Doesnt affect me in the slightest, if there is a record that I want & I can afford it, within reason I buy it.... Russ

Didnt realise it was an old thread...deleted.

Bargain, seen more copies of the Ross release recently than this & theyre double the price.....

If you are in to Northern/Rare Soul why wouldnt you go to All Nighters, no disrespect intended, cos there are a handful of cracking Soul Nights & All Dayers out there with superb music policies, but thats where you go on the way to the All Nighter isnt it....or to mong out on a Sunday at a Dayer afterwards ???.....Northern/Rare Soul = All Night, anything else just doesnt quite cut it for me really....us southern softies generally have to travel for anything half decent, not much point travelling 2, 3 or 4 hours to get to an event that finishes at midnight or 2am....the night is just begginning to get going by then.....

I had a dub of the Judy Freeman, but in a moment of weakness gave it away....wish I had kept it now :-(

I didnt like his adverts column either... Russ

I have voted Saturday, but to be fair, depending on the event i probably wouldnt care - use to do a Nighter Friday, Saturday & Sunday if it was a Bank Holiday, or a Dayer if it wasnt. I think its more about the event, than what night it is personally....I would prefer more Friday Nighters TBH, more choice & you get the weekend to either do more or recover.... Russ

When was this written 1976 ??? Russ

Gladys Knight - Too Late Temptations - Forever in My Heart AKA Come on Back To Me Baby Marvin Gaye - Love Starved Heart Melba Moore - Magic Touch Ad - Libs - You'll Always Be In Style

Hi Keith May I ask that you double check & cross reference all information from Primary Sources from the period. If it is the usual suspects, they have a vested interest in 'their' version of events, which is sometimes not as many would have rembered. Russ

Phwoaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!

I do the same Kev lol

Maybe he will be doing a re issue/box set of them ?. I find it very difficult to listen to the show TBH, as much as I respect RS, I find the Solar Radio programme one huge personal promotion, I very rarely listen because of this & I know many others who feel the same way. Russ

Pages - Heartaches & Pain - Sunstruck VG+ 7ts release - NOT original. SOLD Some slight fraying around the centre hole, but otherwise nice clean labels. Vinyl is as graded, plays through fine without any problems. Price wise, not sure TBH, so I'm asking for offers around £50. Will keep it open until I receive an exceptable offer. Offers by PM only please, no trades. Payment by Bank Transfer only. Postage extra. Thanks for looking Russ

I think it was 'known' for years, but wasnt played properly until the late 8ts (?)....even then, it was some years before it really got going.....'discovering' a record, what ever that really means, is totally different from having the jubulies to actually play it at a packed All Nighter, & persisiting with it, until it finally 'hits' (sometimes) they are two totally different beasts all together. Great rekkid. Russ

Who are the preferred cutting company these days ?. Thanks Russ

MOTOWN

Still sounds white, until the end when one em breaks out a bit....

BS thread on FB Rare Soul Sales, is about a copy of the Anderson Brothers, that came from Ray, & being sold by a third party on his behalf. The scan is of the Bootleg....now whilst I dont think either Ray or DK is setting out to rip anybody off deliberately, the scan is deffo of the boot....all should become clear later when DK will post an update. Best Russ

As I thought Dave, thanks mate Russ

Repress or Bootleg Ian ??? Russ

Or Greg Tormo even..
