Philadelphia Record Labels: 45RPM Discography
Chalky, Are we referring to the guy who's advertising the ( Sold Out ) book or the previous incumbent of angst youve mentioned? Only saw the thread yesterday and im seething there were only 300 copies and theyve gone quicker than hey presto....who the f... has snapped em all up?? Never mind all the logistics of cost, when you venture into something you must have an idea about how much interest it will create? He's gone to the trouble of the painstaking research, then appears weighed how many he needs just to break even or make a little bit and cut everyone else loose in the lifeboat... Its potentially one of the most important books for a good while, best seller maybe not, but theres deffo plenty more avid readers who want it in their collection.....bloody frustrating isnt the word here!! I know one major record dealer who would take a copy of this

Philadelphia Record Labels: 45RPM Discography
And exactly where is the ambition, to bring this to a wider audience,? when publishing is limited to 300 copies. He probably reckoned that was sufficient to cover his overheads. The hullabaloo to bring this to folks attention with the current narrative....and nobody can purchase it, because its already sold out!, why bother putting it out there ( or rather on here ) when the horse has already bolted? So...we just werent fast or astute enough?

Philadelphia Record Labels: 45RPM Discography
This looks to be a must have book. To date, has anyone in the uk received an actual copy, so as they can offer up comments?. Hope its not a " if it looks to good to be true, it usually is " fiasco....with folk being ripped off for none existant product. Only 300?, surely a limit such as that, cant be right either?, i mean...consider just how many people would be interested in something of this nature?.

Anglo American Auction Results
I can honestly say that Tim is quite often, more than surprised at what some of the items he auctions, realize monetarily. Personally, i dont compare anyone elses site to be as good or realistic as Anglo American. There have been some staggeringly rare items auctioned here, they continue to do so as private collectors begin to let go of their treasures, a good many of which may never have seen a sale or auction since they were first purchased...and perhaps a few that afficianados may never have heard of?

News: The Story - Inspirations - No One Else Can Take Your Place
I remember Neil telling me about his meeting with Joey Jefferson, when he came back from the states, at his shop in Lichfield St, Walsall...i think Joey packed a gun...and was a bit wary of Neil on account of not knowing who he was?

SOUL at THE CHURCH
Packed and ready, records sorted, fuelled up, 120 miles to cover but passes very quickly. Always worth a stopover in Shrewsbury, and deffo after a long drive but, so much to see and do there as well as attending this fabulous venue. Ive mentioned before there are lots of hotel, bnbs etc and at pretty much market prices. Shrewsbury train station is a junction from where you can reach any destination, and the m54 motorway network is close by as well as main arteries, the A49 and A52. Please try and arrive early if you require 😉👍seating and this tends to go quick. The start of a great May Day bank holiday weekend begins, right here at the Madonic Hall, or Soul @ The Church as we know it. Be safe travelling and looking forward to seeing you all there.

SOUL at THE CHURCH
A quick calendar check reveals, there's nothing else on in Shropshire this Saturday night so, unless youre thinking of travelling further afield, then Shrewsbury has to be a very good decision!, fast coming up to holiday time as well and this is the last function before summer recess, get your shoes polished, and be prepared for a night of quality tuneage!....hopefully see a few more new faces/visitors alongside the regular crew. Soul at the Chirch is for dancers only!😉👍🎵💃🕺🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Northern Soul At The BBC Proms 2023
INFACT.....having just played it, at home, the exhileration comes flooding back, this structured orchestrations dynamic is breathtaking. In 73 it was hairs on the back of the neck stuff....and still is....the greatest by asskciation, Northern Soul instrumental of ALL time?, thats always been a pretty complex argument...but tell me this dosnt rank in the top 5, if not TOP.....it has EVERYTHING required to drive a dancefloor....it did 50 years ago, and still does now....and those musicians would probably relish getting their teeth into this.

Northern Soul At The BBC Proms 2023
Absolutely have to agree with the suggestion of " Afternoon On The Rhino ". Fact is, Mike Post lead an orchestra on it anway, so an interprtation here should and would be able to replicate it to perfection....and amplified in that cavernous amphitheatre.....wow!, that would be very special......off hand, there arent too many instrumentals that lend theirselves easily to this feature...Double cooking, with its string section....Motown would be more obvious a choice to look at, but would that negate the Northern soul subject matter?
