It pre dates the coasters release by a year as well and it's working title is the same as what it was covered up as "my hearts wide open".

Don't be swayed by rarity and price, go with what you can afford. There's hundreds of affordable records, many lesser known for a collector to get his teeth into. Have a look at Detroit, you have Ric tic, wingate, golden workd, motown labels and hundreds of smaller labels. Many of them from the very cheap to reasonable, no need to break the bank. Same for Chicago and Philly. Listen to as much as you can. Plenty of venues up your way too. There is a mountain of knowledge on here and places like facebook and its numerous groups. Ask for anything you want to know, you will get an answer. As for vinyl, go through the sales boxes at venues, look at the labels and markings in the run out, it is the best way to learn. Don't put money in bootleggers pocket! above all as Steve says don't take it too seriously and enjoy.

The modern soul fans are being spoilt....

let me know what/where they are and I will try and help, had to go out, back now but just off in gym for half hour so I can try and do what you want then.

I would have thought some of the later Lamont Dozier might better suit some of the casual listeners?

What signs are they?

Eddie Holland co writer on "(Loneliness Made Me Realise) It's You That I Need" simply one of the best records ever!

Love And Beauty is one of the Lamont Dozier LP's with decent tracks. The UK Sequel release has added bonus tracks. Andy will tell you the stand out tracks.

Try Andy Whitmore, Thafunkykid on here. He will tell you the 70's or 80's lp tracks as he is the man I turn to for LP advice. He was telling me one or two to buy a while back but I've forgotten them already. Eddie Holland "Jamie" need adding to the list as well unless I can't see it. There are a couple of takes of it too.

Eddie Holland "I'm On The Outside Looking In" big northern record

Dave Withers was or is still selling on discogs, can't remember his user name though.

Well apart from Joey Delorenzo awesome set mate

Why thank you very much, makes it all worth while to get comments like this.

Yeah why not, soon as I've done with the Stafford thing which won't be too long.

The list needs some tidying but I will be getting round to it. The dates for Cleethorpes return is in one of the topics I started, Clifton Hall I think, I posted the echoes advert. Clifton Hall finished 1984 off top of me head. Stafford started April 82 until February 86.

Yes, I have fo the popular ones. most of the Stafford DJ's were DJing other well known places before Stafford, mainly Wigan and Yate, same for some of the Clifton Hall DJ's who played all over the country. Sounds like quite a few had this record and played it all over the place when Arthur got his spares.

God forbid if you rang whilst the football was on.....

Unless you are on the receiving end of the rude and obnoxious comment

Dave would have played this at the same time as you would he not? Certainly before the demise of Clifton Hall.

He fell out with everyone didn't he? He could be down right rude and obnoxious. Never really bothered with him to be honest.

For another insight go to my website and read Pete Lawson's and Jock O'Connor's magazines from back the, great reading and Pete doesn't mince his words either. They are there in PDF and ebook, took me ages to scan them. Shades of Soul was a fantastic magazine, the best IMO, I have all the issues.

One of the reasons possibly why we can't believe the prices today compared to what we was paying and how many copies we saw back then of each title. Some pretty common records back in the 80's fetching stupid money that some wrongly claim are rare.

I think by 1987 prices were beginning to rise, wouldn't be long before "offers" was to be introduced. I have some lists in the garage from then, will dig them out and see if anything interesting on them. but even up to the late 80's you could get rarities for a couple of 100. I paid £150 for Sir Ceasar (my first three figure record), half a dozen or so known copies at that time. £150 for Jesse Davis on Era. Most of the stiff that goes for £400/£500, even records that are now £1000+ today were as little as £10/£15.

Sure Clarkie said he has this at Yate, certainly had it early Stafford.
