I Wish!!!

Karen, you know me, I just posted a polite email on the site, I've been a member on there since inception so they are used to a few profanities, it's no big deal honest, in fact it's more the fact it took a couple of hours to type up the list they printed

I did get your message Tone but by the time I retrieved it it was too late. Far from doing 'dad things' like you thought I might have been, I was in fact puking my ring up all day friday and most of saturday, as was the missus, the baby, and both sets of grandparents. Was this 36 hour stomach flu bug thing. Having said that, if you'd have left me a number to ring you back on we might have still been able to do something, I'm not sure when it actually went, I would have been more than happy for you to have it. The Reasons - yours if you want it, but if you could let me know asap would be appreciated thanks pete

How? When you think, it takes over half an hour per clip to get one of those on you tube - have to rip it from the dvd, convert it to mp4 then send it up - that's over 110 hours I've spent doing these, I don't want a medal or anything but they could have mentioned the original poster, that's all. I remember an article on UK soul in Record Collector back in the early 90's, was looking forward to reading it, thought to myself "this seems a bit familiar", and it was - the author had copied it more or less word for word from articles I'd written in my own fanzine! I did the sleeve notes for a really good cd called Cooler Shakers which came out mid 90's, when it hit the shops the name of the sleeve note author had been changed to the person who compiled it!

5a. Bored? Want something to pass time? One or Two Youtube video link Posted by: "Ray" soulman.ray@gmail.com soulman_ray Dunno who it is

Couldn't wait any longer for replies so had to put the list up regardless

Same pace as Jive 5 Dave, slightly different arrangement, nice though, very nice in fact

You know these clips I've put up on youtube - I've sent up over 200 rare soul clips now - I've published a full list up here a couple times. Imagine my surprise to find that someone copied the list off here then posted it onto KTF as if he'd posted the clips up. Hardly worth me losing sleep over but what a f*cking cheek!

then came heartbreak - reasons - united artists 14098 refosoul

some girls will do anything - kelly sisters - coed 14097 refosoul

It is mate.

Yeah it is mate, I said it was by the Four Hi's, what was I thinking...I'll put a sample up in a minute, and of the kelly Sisters.

Hammy - yes thats what I thought on the Dee Dee Sharp, cheers. Bjorn78 - another one that looks like it got release everywhere except the UK, like jerry naylor, paul anka etc

F*ck knows, I never met them

I like the fact that there were two labels called In, thousands of miles apart, operating at the same time, using the same logo!

Yes different group, this lot are from texas, other ones from Chicago

I think there's a few of Tiaras records on Valiant - all pretty common so shouldn't cost you much...pleasant girl group things

Bought this blind. Two okay dancers, vocals a bit weak, crying out for a strong lead, but I thought it looked interesting.

Yeah it was like a hut, long thin place, like a womens institute meeting place! There was a room right at the back for dossing in.

I went to one of these, it was in 79 - train from Wton to Birmingham then a terrible time getting to the bus station with numerous punks and skinheads giving us serious problems, bus to Redditch, terrible allnighter playing crap music, that was the last nighter I ever went to in that era apart from the final Wigan.

That's the exact surgery David Bowie had a couple of years back so he's in good company!
