  1. Usually sells pretty quickly when offered for sale so demand is there so who knows it might just fetch a tad more. I would agree with others though at £400 if sticking a price on it.
  2. Bernard Williams (of the Original Bluenotes) on vocal if I remember rightly.
  3. As far as I'm aware Andy D had the first handful that came into the country. Under the impression they came from Roy Roberts himself? Probably via Jason. I did hear of some reissues, look-a-like, dunno how true.
  4. Has this program gone out yet? If not when is it aired?
  5. Stick to the topic please. Either answer the questions or if you think he is the squad or have no interest then don't.
  6. Send me the list Dave, I'll have a browse when I get the chance although you have probably got all the same research tools as me.
  7. I have the Twilight issue which you should be able to pick up for £10/£15. Great record I've played out on and off for last ten years, has everything you want in a northern record.
  8. I didn't thin k you were allowed to over charge for postage now on ebay, not by such an amount? I'd make a complaint to evilBay and see what happens, you never know......
  9. Soul Source is not just a Soul forum but a Northern Soul forum as as most are aware many records relevant to these forums aren't soul.
  10. Just checked the opening post from Mike, still pinned and it is titled "Testing New Sales Feedback Feature". I've asked the question a couple of times in the backroom cause general "how much" posts were made and each time been told yep wrong section, forum is for complaints and feedback.
  11. As far as I'm aware it is for complaints about the section and feedback, not general posts, how much etc.
  12. No not the right section, this section a feedback forum for all things sales (& wants) related. Will move to Box forum for you.

    Thought it might have been someone like Guy, I've got it on a tape from sometime mid 80's on, can't remember who the tape is from.
  14. The TAMI/TNT Rock shows have some great concert footage of soul stars. Although a lot of the two shows missing in the final edit still some great performances. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tami-TNT-Show-Rock-1964/dp/B0001D0NQ2

    Where and when was this first played?
  16. Have you a link to the BIN one George? I've seen the other after Joan passed the link on.
  17. Isn't there a look-a-like boot/re-issue as well of this?? What is the take on the Tommy Tate cd released recently by kent? Same as the original 45 or the "smoother" take?
  18. As Joe said not one for Northern night (IMO).
  19. neither has mine, hopefully just slowed down with Easter post.....
  20. https://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/apr/21/eddie-kirkland-obituary A blues musician with raw energy who was always on the road Tony RussellThursday 21 April 2011 18.22 Eddie Kirkland playing at the Koh Samui music festival in 2005 Photograph: Leon Schadeberg / Rex Features Journalists called him "the gypsy of the blues" and his website titled him "road warrior", testimony to the fact that the blues singer and guitarist Eddie Kirkland, who has died aged 87, doggedly took his music wherever he could find an audience. His friend Pete Lowry, who recorded Kirkland for his Trix label in the 1970s, said that Kirkland was "still trying to conquer the world one saloon or pub at a time. This will be the first time in his life that he has stopped moving forward at full speed." Kirkland came to the attention of blues enthusiasts as an occasional partner, both on the road and in the studio, of John Lee Hooker, his clanging guitar, and occasionally voice, adding to the excitement of Louise, Let's Talk It Over and others of Hooker's early-50s recordings for the Chess and Modern labels. He made a few singles himself around that time, for the King and Fortune labels, but established his credentials with the 1962 LP It's the Blues Man! (Tru-Sound), an album still remarkable for its originality and raw power. One of its strongest tracks, Man of Stone, was covered by John Mayall on his album Crusade. Kirkland was born in Kingston, Jamaica, from a brief liaison between a Cuban fisherman and a Jamaican girl not yet in her teens. A year later, his mother brought him to New Orleans and soon afterwards to Alabama, where she worked on sugarcane farms owned by the Kirkland family, who looked after her son and gave him their name. He learned to play the guitar, and picked up songs from local and transient musicians, and from records. In his early teens he ran away with the Silas Green medicine show. After belatedly getting some schooling in Indiana, he spent two years in the army during the second world war, but in 1945 was dishonourably discharged after getting into a fight with a racist officer. He then rejoined his mother, who had moved to Detroit, where he met Hooker. In the early 60s he toured with Otis Redding, and in 1965 he had a regional hit on Volt, the Stax subsidiary for which Redding recorded, with a harmonica instrumental, The Hawg, on which he was accompanied by the famous Stax session team of Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn and Al Jackson. By the end of the decade, however, now living in Macon, Georgia, he was finding work hard to come by. A couple of albums for Trix, the acoustic Front and Center (1973) and the more progressive The Devil and Other Blues Demons (1974), and one for JSP, Pick Up the Pieces (1981), confirmed his creativity as a songwriter, but it was in person that he was most completely himself - "the most intense performer I've ever had the pleasure of seeing," said Lowry, a judgment the blues writer Elijah Wald echoed 25 years later. "For pure raw energy and emotion, he may be the greatest blues artist alive." There are those who expect blues musicians to have a life that mirrors the hard times they sing about, and Kirkland's cannot have disappointed them. In the mid-70s, in a club in Georgia, he was injured in a random shooting, after which he was blind in his left eye and deaf in his left ear. Later, a heart-bypass operation left him with permanent leg problems and massive medical bills. It was easy to believe him when he said, "I had a pretty tough life". It was less easy when he added, "but I never worry about it". He continued to work, his performances still noteworthy for his hyperactive stage presence, customised guitars and garish accessories, such as bejewelled turbans. He made further albums of his own soul-blues compositions and novel rhythms and tunings on the Evidence, Deluge, Telarc and, again, JSP labels. He died after being injured in a road accident in Homosassa, Florida, returning home to Macon after a gig. - Eddie Kirkland, blues musician, born 16 August 1923; died 27 February 2011
  21. As far as I understood the P-Vine was taken directly from the Turbo LP and "cleaned" up a bit?
  22. It's would be ok here Joan, it's finished anyway and besides I don't think it matters little anyway. But as this is a sale don't want to influence it one way or t'other so best by PM.
  23. I didn't se the one on evilBay, have you got a link Joan?
  24. plenty knew what it was though even though it was covered up
  25. Most of us do as Paul asks and buy the new releases from companies like his but the fact is that market contributes little to the rare soul scene. If anything it is the other way round with the rare soul crate diggers ultimately benefiting the "new" release market, Tommy Tate as mentioned a prime example. If it hadn't been for rare soul scene the wider listening audience would have been unaware of the record. It's not like Tommy Tate was being done a diservice by the lack of recognition is it? He was already a major player on the soul scene and has the respect of most of us and he knew of his status on the soul scene. This one record if it had stayed covered up would have made little difference. As mentioned earlier it does appear to be those who are not involved in the rare soul scene who seem to object the most. Think we will have to agree to differ on this one.
