must be made of solid gold! pip us the link, I'd like to see this!

and it's gone to a good home, I really enjoyed opening that for its first time... you get that smell we all know, smells lush...

I put Ernest Baker at £600/650 so that’s a good price I think... only other track on there I'd be interested in is Curtis Anderson, you never see it, so I guess you can’t argue with 2K.. Ikettes is a silly price, I’ve still got all my Kent Lp's, buggar three hundred quid, I'll play it off there!!

Dreadful news, I’ve read you are physically ok at least Ted, stay strong.

a 'House Party' from From Down Under, looks like this one was sold via Palings in Sydney, wierd cause that looks like it was printed on the label, not added after... anyhow Palings sold all sorts of stuff back in the day.

Outstanding! Love it. Fits really well with the interviews that Colin Curtis has been doing in the past few weeks, talking to guys like ‘Pep’ about the beginnings of the soul scene here in the uk. This was and is an important record, with the likes of the Orlons 81, Mel Torme, Flamingos ‘Boogaloo party’ and so on.. well done Joel, great article 🙂

yep, true, I've been busting your balls, and you know why... The above comment from me was too much, I put my hand up for that, I apologise. But I asked you for a refund, twice, and you totally ignored me. You can't have both ways...

I did get mine, I havent played it, every time I look at it, just cant be bothered as it was such a pain to get...

Brill interview, I was looking forward to this all last week. It didn't disappoint! Finishing with the power of Helen 🙂

Thanks to Simon T for the scan. Nice one mate 🙂 Malc

More dreadful news, rest in Peace Chuck Jackson.

surely somebody can help out with this? anybody got a Drifter in their collection?

Dreadful news. Rest in peace Spencer Wiggins. it’s doesn’t get more ‘Northern Soul’ than this…

Hi folks, can anybody help me with this. I need a 300dpi scan of Roy pollard / the drifter, a US copy, a blk issue or white demo will do, prefer white demo. need it for a carver thing I have, so needs to be 1:1. many thanks in advance malc

Hi there, just the one Lp. The Choice Four / The Finger Pointers Lp / RCA / EX++ £15 (three stand out tracks, a really great slower version of Bobby Reed’s ‘If I Don't Love You', 'Finger Pointers pt1/2', and the brilliant 'The Women I've Been True to', in fact that's my favourite this week. ----- I prefer direct Bank Transfer, but you can pay by PayPal either Friends & Family or add the normal 4% fee.

Cheers Guys, opted for the half size Bookcase along the same wall, the 80x28x106 cm one, which fitted the 45's I had perfectly... BILLY does it again! lol

Pm'd ya also

Cheers Guys, looks great, comes in blk, I want something half that height, I don't think 'Billy' comes like that..

Yep, that essential but God-awful boring subject that affects us all! I've a new house, and a new problem to solve. I bought a DJ bench thing from Ikea, great for LPs... So, I have another room with 45's in, but I need to make room in a corner of this one, for I guess about 1000 45's... see below pic. I want something that isn’t too high as well if I can get away with it... Any ideas for an off the shelf solution? pls excuse the pun... Malc This is the Ikea DJ shelving thingy I got... looks the business, great for LP's and 12's, except that top shelf for 45's, is 1cm too short to fit them....what’s ridiculous is that lady actually has a pile of 45's in the promo shot... stick with the record boxes kids!

PM’d ya :-)

Hi folks, never use this guitar strap. Bought it and it's sat on one of my acoustic guitars for years, dont use that guitar either! still got the original tags...in perfect nic, no rips, stains, or anything.

I'm sure folks would love to see your pimples pottsy... it had to be said!

Rest in Peace Burt Bacharach Doesn't come much bigger on this site / scene...

Great show, well worth listening too. A tribute to classic Chicago radio station WJPC (Ebony/Jet's radio station) hosted by Reclaimed Soul host Ayana Contreras with former WJPC program director Richard Steele, an interview with Chicago disco/soul legend Linda Clifford ("Runaway Love", "If My Friends Could See Me Now").

FYI, was told that this is the old ‘Stanley Michell-Now You’ve Got Me Baby’ coverup at Stafford for Pat Brady... think that was the inst side, not the vocal
