Let's all hear it for collecting, spinning, and dancing to proper SOUL MUSIC, and not wasting time on irrelevant useless crap !!!!!!

Surely if the dj has any kind of discerning soul awareness and credibility, he/she wouldn't actually own any of those records, let alone have them in the box to play ?!?

How f...ing sad... about sums up large portions of the (alleged) soul scene.

Been going through some of my boxes, didn't realise how many different RCA US and UK sleeves there are, must have 15 or 16 different ones. Quite like the red/green coloured psychedelic type, not sure what sort of year that would have come out ?

Strangely just bought a copy of this LP at a boot on Sunday .... will have a listen.

If Helen Shapiro ' Tell me what he said' can pick up numerous spins, anything is possible, unfortunately.

Sure someone spun it ..............sad indictment of how low the rare soul scene can sink at times ........

Thought this thread was about the rarest stock copies .......... not sure where a 45 known only from a couple of hand written test pressings really fits into the discussion ?
