8Th Ave Band - The Whole Thing
Really reminds me of Wigan too. One of the few big sounds that was never botlegged or pressed.

What actually is a 'Soulful Penguin'?

Soul Bros Inc
I, personally, would have said £600 - well if I was selling it thats what I'd ask - not that I'm likely to get one

Is J.smith The Same Guy Who Stole My Sleevenotes?
No I wasn't making any reference to Rob Neil, he's 100% ok apart from the fact he never f&ckin shuts up and you can't get a word in edgeways

Dry Well/ellen & The Shandells
Gypsy by Dry Well.. Yes, same song/version. Must surely be post-Wigan, I never heard it til mid 80's

Is J.smith The Same Guy Who Stole My Sleevenotes?
A couple of the times in the 90's I got asked to write sleeve notes for Northern cd's. On two occasions they used my notes but put someone else's name on them as author. I also remember an article on UK Northern Soul in Record Collector and the whole article was nicked from my Beatin Rhythm magazine. When I complained, they were good enough to let me write a few more articles under my own name so that worked out ok. p.s. the book was brilliant Neil, don't let anyone tell you different - if they can do better, let them try.

West Indian Music In The Uk History ?
Tighten Up and Young Gifted & Black both indispensable books, the very best written about Jamaican music in the UK

Northern Soul And
So am I - it's rather brilliant, anyone slagging this off just because of who it is needs to listen again, perfect mid-60's pop/soul beat ballad. Sometimes you lot are so blinkered.

The Entire Goldmine Cd Catalogue For £5
https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-NORTHERN-SOUL-ALBUMS-2000-TRACKS-DVD-CD-VESPA-MOD-/280506122191?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Records&hash=item414f77bfcf Maybe not the entire catalogue but loads of them for sale in this advert, on one disc. I'm not posting it to go on about the rights and wrongs of it, I just wondered if Goldmine Soul Supply was still an ongoing concern and could they do anything about it, or have the rights to all these cd's reverted back to the parent companies?

50's/60's Style Radiogram
Funnily enough it's called the Ferguson Kitchinette

50's/60's Style Radiogram
I managed to get some photos but they were taken in the garage so they are not great, the whole unit is in need of a clean. It has 4 legs which screw in, I took these off when we moved. Like I say, probably not what you're after.

50's/60's Style Radiogram
I've got a beautiful one in my garage, it would be a bit hard to explain what it looks like (it's cream and maroon with a polished wooden top) has sliding doors that open from the middle, valve radio obviously and record deck, I think it still has the circular piece of paper giving instructions on the turntable. I bought it in about 1992 (was a lot of money back then even) but have never had room for it anywhere. I've never seen another one like it. Maybe not what you're looking for but I'll send you some photos if you want to have a look. I think it's one of the first stereo ones.

I Rate This As One Of The Rarest 45's I've Ever Had
1) if thats a sales ad why not put it in sales and 2) that's £50 too expensive
-
I Rate This As One Of The Rarest 45's I've Ever Had
Has to be said that it is rare, and still highly sought after, hence the price, I've kept my VG one and I wouldn't sell it, not even for £500, because I couldn't replace it.

I Rate This As One Of The Rarest 45's I've Ever Had
Copy of the Italian John St John (Chapter 5) just gone up, seller won't even give real artist name or label! https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/7-CHAPTER-FIVE-YOU-CANT-MEAN-ORIGINAL-NORTHERN-66-/250636440303?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Records&hash=item3a5b1892ef

I did, it was my own fault, I'd downloaded an IP blocker and it was that that triggered their security

Paypal - Anyone Been Asked For New Passwords Etc
Logged into paypal and it's asking for information on either my bank account or my credit card (multiple choice) then the next page it's telling me to change the password. It appears to be the proper site with the https address https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_home&country_lang.x=true I find it a bit strange that they are asking for this except the site looks spot on and I haven't accessed it from an email, I just accessed it from a bookmark. Any thoughts?

Motown Cover Versions
I could do you over 50 of these just by British artists on British labels of the 60's. Except I've got to go to the doctors...
