I doubt you could source the ink these days and any paper would be some what aged and beyond its use I would imaging? It would be too much hassle, from forging the masters/stampers to sourcing the ingredients of the day, like I said the soul 45 collector aren't daft.

You sign up through your bank Bob, you don't give out your bank details to anyone, just your phone number. You don't have a problem with import duty and post office fees so doesn't affect you really. It is UK customers only at the minute and that is a lot of customers who currently use paypal. Most impotantly it is free

It uses the current system, lloyds will, rather boring name of Faster Payments Service...... Payments made via Pay a Contact are made using existing payment processes (Faster Payment Service). We don’t charge you for making or receiving payments through Pay a Contact, but your mobile operator may charge for some services (such as accessing the Internet) so please check with them. it is UK only it is free, i spend little to nothing in the States now so not too worried about international payments although I have sent money to Japan using my bank and that was free as well. Paypal will be forced to act over its charges because if this takes off they will lose a lot of business which won't be a bad thing in some cases.

I'm with lloyds and there is no or will be no charge with them. You pay via the lloyds mobile app. They say there might be a charge with your mobile supplier. Go to your banks website and look at the terms and the FAQ's. https://www.lloydsbank.com/online-banking/mobile-banking/pay-a-contact.asp

I have a Neal Kimble, will be later in week before I am home to check. Did you get a Kim Tolliver? Might have one of those too.

Proper Gent is Ian, top man & Top Dj!

That looks about the gist of it, log into paym and enter the phone number and details, far quicker and easier. It is an alternative to paypal who like ebay only seem interested in charges.

Thanks for the comments Geoff, appreciated and nice to get a bit of feedback. There's a fair bit amongst this lot still widely unknown and something for DJ's to look through.

I guess it depend which banks are signed up to it?

Not strictly soul related so please feel free to move to FB if you wish Mods? https://www.paym.co.uk/?gclid=COvc47LAzL0CFcHnwgod5kUAZQ Anyone going to be signing up for this, could take a lot of business in the UK away from paypal.

You would struggle to reproduce vinyl, paper and especially the ink to the specs of the 60's original. Most techniques and materials have changed since then, particularly with paper and ink. The return couldn't be justified given the time, effort and expense you would have to put in. Not saying it couldn't be done, just highly unlikely. They would quickly be spotted as well, not a lot get's past collectors and dealers, not for long anyhow.

We never got that far, it was just chats via Skype really at first. I set up a t date to do a proper interview two or three times but something always got in the way over there. Then he was moved. I'm waiting for my initial contact with him to try and sort something for me to do a proper interview and get his story out there. In the mean time here they are and their names......

He is on here Chris... /profile/1820-mace/

an old topic on Soulful Detroit might glean a bit of info.... https://faac.us/adf/messages/165088/173358.html?1211983890

32 years ago this month (April 1982) The Stafford all-nighters under the banner of the Top Dog Soul Club opened it’s doors. We celebrate that fact with the 50th podcast in the series that tells that story of the all-nighter through the music. I started these podcasts in 2011 and never for one minute thought I would be hear 50 podcasts later, I originally thought 10, maybe 15 but once I had started I couldn’t stop as I just got more and more information the more I delved into this period of history on the UK Northern Soul Scene. There has been some great, fantastic music, there has like any period in history of the scene some poor ones too but that just makes all the more interesting and it is part of the history. I hope like me you have enjoyed this story so far. Stick with it though as there are still more to come. We celebrate the 50th podcast fittingly with none other than it’s driving force behind the night Dave Thorley. A great selection of across the board tracks. The odd carry over from Yate and Wigan amongst them, and the odd track or two that might be best forgotten some might say. But none the less an interesting and enjoyable selection. P.W.

One of the Servicemen is still alive by the way. I was in touch and he is in a home but they have moved him and US laws won't allow them to tell me where.

There's been several copies the last 12 to 18 months to my knowledge. Was one guy advertising for quite some time, he couldn't sell it.

Anyone?

Why not, unreleased and issued for the first time on original vinyl.

Not sure Phil.

why do people join those sort of groups?
