R.I.P. John ................ another fabulous voice from our soulful past has passed.

Pretty sure issues are a little harder than demos

Mamie Lee on MGM wanted, please PM if any to offer.

1969 Kids Gola football boots

Late 77 or 1978...... another of JV's really fantastic soul rarities !?!?! ............ along with The Fuzzy Bunnies and ' I'll give you time' The Outsiders

Normally a term that means the soul night is not really going to be for the rare soul collector or discerning alternative soul individual, expect to hear ' the snake ' or Frank Boring

Is he a FIEND or a friend ? 😂😁🤪

Will post up some PROPER SOUL 45s after the weekend for your contemplation and consideration.

After many weeks, why are people even commenting on this, what a sad waste of time. Can we have some proper interesting articles on here please, record reviews, playlists, venue reports, DJ profiles, record collecting finds, etc, not continual debate over a quite insignificant chart record that surely has no place being talked about in the first place !?! Get a life you saddos !!

Actually think Band of Gold was played as a new release on the UK Soul Scene, poss Twisted Wheel 1970 ?

The lunatics have definitely taken over the asylum.

Frankie and the Classicals (Calla) original 45 with the slower spoken intro wanted to replace old warped copy, any out there for sale ? Not really looking to splash out on a near minter for £100 plus. Please PM if you have one to offer. Thanks, Jez.

A very merry Christmas and hopefully a great and rewarding New Year to all Soul fans worldwide !

Hi Angus, hope you're all ok. Greg Perry, Larry Wedgeworth, and Caviar are all 80's records !!

I always liked ' Black Power ' - at least it was a PROPER 60'S BLACK TUNE that was spun in the late 70's during a deluge of obscure poppy 60's UK dirge !

Sorting a few to play tonight, six days off work now, getting revved up for the train journey from PE11 1EY to WC1A 1DG Saturday evening, sadly may be the only representative from England's second biggest county. Recent buys, upgrades, and old favourites. 1 George Jackson I don't have the time to love you (MERCURY) 2 George Jackson That lonely night (Cameo Parkway) 3 Barbara Jones Treat me right (PAT) 4 Earl Connelly Make up your mind (Black Horse BRAZIL) 5 Intruders A nice girl like you (PHIL INT SPAIN) 6 Johnny Bristol Love no longer has a hold on me (ARIOLA BRAZIL) 7 Bobby King & Relations Don't give up hope (LUNA) 8 Earl Van Dyke 6 x 6 (SOUL) 9 Brand New Thousand years (DU-VERN) 10 Creations Just remember me (GLOBE) 11 J.D.

Enjoy your weekend everyone !

Always really liked his superb 1972 mover DON'T HAVE TO BE LYING BABE (CURTOM) - absolutely brilliant

Yes, much better

What about FEARNS BRASS FOUNDRY - Don't change it (UK DECCA only)

Always thought the name of this site was SOULsource, don't quite know why groups like Buffalo Springfield and Queereen are being mentioned, are things really getting this bad in our scene !?!?!?

Also gold paint on some US Tangerine 45's

Was there last summer, didn't find anything very rare, but a fair few £15 - £40 things, try Grooves on Market St, Amoeba in the Haight, and Groove Merchant. Rooky Ricardos shut , not sure if it has reopened. A number of decent stores in Oakland across the bay, quite accessible by train or ferry, try Hercules records, Alcatraz Ave.

Any tips on the best shipping option to send a pricey 45 to the USA with full insurance and tracking, and are there export taxes to be paid (looks like conflicting info on the internet), Thanks.
