The Soul Stylists: six decades of Modernisim from Mods to casuals by Paolo Hewitt Forward by Paul Weller VG++ condition £4 Reduced to £3 Ive always had a passing interest in Hewett and Paul Wellers relationship, only in that I know they were very close but seem to had fallen out big style some years ago, which was reported pretty widely, in all honesty I bought this book to see if there was anything on that, there isn't.....that said, this is a thoroughly good read. Tons of extracts from a host of sources including Ady Croasdell, Norman Jay, Ian Hebditch, and the very funny Terry Farley. He may be thought of a misery guts, but he makes me laugh; when he left his full time job to become a DJ, he said he couldn't fit old dears Gas Meters knowingly....well you know why.... its an easy read this, and very enjoyable..

Its a biggie, a heavy coffee table jobbie.. well worth a fiver... Finally, The Hobbitt by J.R.R. Tolkein (Hardback M- condition) £5 Reduced to £4 if your kids have all the Lego, been to see both films, and they simply CAN'T wait any longer, drag every chapter out with the book.. that said, its worth reading again given how much they padded out the films, there are some notable differences...

Frank Gossner: The archaeologist of African vinyl A German DJ has become an archaeologist of funk. He travels around Africa searching for old, unwanted and often mouldering LPs, gets them reissued and then plays them at his gigs around the world https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-26654516 Good init... Mal

Perfic!!

dunno why the the chap who started this thread is so surprised, its what, 50 year old scene? awash with allot of older folk; teenagers dont bother with that stuff, they are too busy getting wrecked and getting off with each other, but once your over 30 its fair game, you know this... If you went to the States, they always have stuff like this, if you cant make money on the refreshments or the door, you sell the punters any old tat at the back of the room... I do love that toilet roll Jess! tat that you wipe your bum with, what could be a better flagrant waste of money, actually I need a new Mouse Mat, no not to wipe me arse with... Malcolm

some nice tracks there Alex, only other Russian soul collector I ever heard of was Stebor Nivek, and he's not actually real.. just a moniker on an old LP... We could do with a bit of love from your part of the world just now, nice to have you on SS... Mal

Ohh forgot, 'All I want is You' also came out on Le Cam, dont know which is first, Le Cam? anyhow one of the best tracks isnt it... Mal

paid about a ton for mine, worth every penny IMHO, you see the French release all the time, allot fewer Charay 45's come up.. they did the flip of the Moovers Brent 45 'I Love You, Baby' (60) on above listing... in fact dont know which came first but I love that song on both versions... Come Back Baby on the Belter Lp is the other stand out Northern wise i suppose, didn't make ANY crap records this lot! Mal

call me stupid, actually dont! But are you are you in Moscow? Mal.C

come on then folks, you have heard the track, boys above have given it the thumbs up; this is a double btw, I'd never sell my copy in million years, its that good... m

Love Soul Source, the only thing I recently hate is New members sales, they join just to sell, dont contribute and some of them are simply crap to deal with, various points relating to this have been discussed.. m

Vote with your feet, just dont buy from them again, there are loads of new members on here that post only in sales, that dont get back, and are in my experience a night mare to deal with. You know you have a conversation with somebody on condition and all that only to find the chaps sold it, one guy told me 'Oh I didn't realise you were interested in buying the record' no I just do this allot with people I dont know, just message them to talk about the condition of their records.. unbelievable.. malcolm

Ive spoken to various dealers, some on here as to why they didn't have a web site, and this came up as a reason why they didn't, some just dont want to take hours updating, that and folk dont want to wade through pages and pages of records, which I'm not sure is proved, we all do it on eBay and the like. Christ we even buy books so we can pour over listings...Don't know why they just done put a decent search engine in, its not hard to keyword images / entries. must be the gap between the analogue and digital world eh! Malcolm

did this sell john? malcolm

think somebody got numbers 2 and 5 the wrong way round... Love Luther, But Teddy is out of the Park isn't he..?

I only dabble, I dont collect them much, but I do like this one allot... Ok, sussed it, the Greensleeves is the UK issue of the Jah Guidance LP, with the Scientist - Plague of Zombies' as the flip... if anybody has a nice condition one pls do get in touch.. malcolm

Seen this on a Jah Guidance LP on VP records, which is a JA record, and the Greensleeves in the You tube clip below, but did it get a 45 release anywhere? Sampled for 'Scientist - Plague of Zombies' which is very nice dub track, and again by Dick Whittington from Birmingham on his Rockers Hi-Fi - Push Push release in the 9ts, which is where I first heard Johnny's voice... love em all but I'd like Johnny Osbourne on a 45 if I can get it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I6GE8jbbo0 Malcolm

amazing inst it, it was a tenner record for years and years... probably cheaper than that in the 7ts? Mal

Was going to say the same on clay hunt, what a track, and for 30 quid too... The flip however, remember Dave Flynn mentioning it, played it at home and honestly, it's horrible.... But there you go, that's northern soul isn't it, some stuff just may not be your bag!!! The Fiestas is a nice 7ts track, lesser know as well.., M

First heard this on the soul supply LP ' under the street lamp' I think for allot of folk just it's inclusion on there was enough to want to get it, was with me....I loved the obscure sounding labels on the listing side.... Great Lp's Strange though, I bought the LP back then and then set about getting all the 45s on it again... That's kinda stupid really.,..laughs.., Not my favourite on that LP, but just can't bring my self to part with it... Mal

you can but its the wrong section..

I had allot of compatibility problems with your word Doc, looks like an old version of word, suggest folk select all, copy and paste into a plain text Doc, or new word page using the version you have installed.. m
