Still available Martin-remember "The national debt" -so many records-so little time! The Charles Drain is a "Sleeper"-a years time and it will be 4 times that price once played out ! Rob

Amazing Uk Tamla Motown Collector
-Pete There are 2 people like this not 15 miles from here. They won't sell anything=just keep hoarding stuff away Both collect UK, nothing to do with "The scene" though both aware of "Northern Soul". Really just "Train Spotters" -number takers (One has never married, lives with his Mother and is an accountant) The other been divorced years (25+) and I think this sort of collecting becomes obsessive! Between them the value of the records must be £1,000,000- Neither will sell anything-one has 2 Darell Banks DJs on London Nice to see them all together and look through though ! Rob -by the way if your mate would like a ride on the train...in exchange for a few spares...............

Northern Soul Stories Ltd Edition With 45/memorabilia
Just like to say after delaying the purchase of your book Neil-(Hoped I'd see you out)-what a beautiful looking package it is. Not "read" anything yet-but flicked quickly through the hard back edition, with it memebership cards, bookmark and 45 record and can't wait to get "Stuck in" ! I knew you'd make a good job of it and its a piece of our history as well. I'll post a revue on it when Ive read through it and one complaint-can you make "Authers signature" an option when purchasing the hardback ? Watch you Paypal account I think I have just sold another one for you-he's coming to have a look !!! All out there-BUY THIS BOOK- NOW ! more later Rob ps delivered in super quick time as well !!!

Anyone Watching The Blues Documentary On Bbc4
Maggie Bell remembers recording "I'll hold you", Bobby Kerr co-wrote it-He was the brother of Simple Minds lead vocalist Jim Kerr-but died before Simple Minds found fame I think. Northern soul at its most Northern-Scotland !! Rob

Soul Badges
We also have repo badges now and you can buy embodied badges from the internet. Badges no longer mean anything. Well said Simon Both myself and Karen have Badges around the place tucked away in plastic bags from long lost all-nighters (Mine are mainly Wigan Anniversary's Clifton Hall, Cleggy etc) Karen's are Morecombe RSG events and loads of others from the 80's All above have never been "sown on"-just kept! Really a treasure trove for someone who -for whatever reason- would want to get their mits on to say "I was there" !! One that I do hold special is the Keele 1st Anniversary all-nighter badge -which I DJ'd at-- and comes with a Silver bookmark which was done by Neil Clowes as a thank you to all those that DJ'd. Anyone wishing to purchase a "Soul history in a bag-36 years worth--say you were there with original badges" package make offers over £25,000 and that price will also buy our silence Be sad to see them go-but we'll keep our FRIENDS and great MEMORIES Rob & Karen
