Can anyone on here point us towards some footage of the "steppers" scene in Chicago in the USA , a scene which musically is firmly based around "soul" music ?

Nice EX+ or Mint copy needed please, UK issue Please state your set sale price. Thanks!

Isn't 1879 the uncommon one ?? Without the noises at the start ? Going off the top of my head here, the other is 1972 or something isn't it ?

Please , what label number/ version is the Curtis on Charm City, Mr Dog?

I thought Stevens & Foster was an act comprised of two blokes ????

Over 100 UK Pounds going by Mr Manships latest auction

Yes they were, they were all legally licensed, it's just that the Guinness label was apparently constituted to take advantage of the US tax laws.

Lou had TWO general release LP's issued in the 60's , one on Cotillion and the other on Volt. Both excellent soul LP's and both well worth purchasing without hesitation.

Ady & the guys at Kent put out a superb CD of Loadstone stuff some years back ... so I'm curious if Ady knew about the original master tapes coming up for sale on ebay recently ? https://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...A:IT&ih=005 This California Playboys LP is genuinely rare and keeps rocketing in demand ... and price ... some fabulous LP only tracks !!!

Or maybe you had soul duo "Thomas & Taylor" on your mind !

Yes, typically great late 60's Blue Note LP - just buy it!

Ahem , Tony, no wonder you haven't heard from Tyrone, because it's Tyrone Thomas you should be after ! Good name for a soul man though ... Tyrone Taylor !!!

Easily the rarest issue of Alexander Patton is its appearance on a 12" LP sampler (playing at 33rpm) Capitol issued to radio stations in the US in 1966, of which I am the proud owner No argument about legitimacy on these LP's ! They issued these various artists LP's periodically through the mid 60's. Soul tracks mixed with country pop and rock artists. Complete versions of the songs with no editing whatsoever and sound reproduction far better than even the original issue 45's !!! I have others with Bobby Paris "I Walked Away" , one with Patrice Holloway "Stolen Hours" , another with HB Barnum's "Heartbreaker" and one with the Checkmates "Kissin Her and Cryin for You" , and Frank Polk "Tryin To Keep Up With The Joneses" !!!!! Who'd have thought these tracks would appeared in 12" form at their time of issue in the 60's and a major label like Capitol did in fact try to break these tracks back then.

Dare I say it, but I can't recall one single visual clip on Soul Source that has brought forth such a huge and positive emotional response from Soul Source members. A true testament to the man himself. Can someone kindly update us all on Sam's latest movements and is he likely to ever perform live again outside the US ?

That's the LP, Tony, remains one of the greatest soul compilations ever !

This has always been perceived as a northern soul record. If so, when, where and by whom was it first played? What (label) was the first issue of the record in the UK? It was also composed by Aussie pop legends George Young and Harry Vanda of the Easybeats. Does anyone know the background to the song? How did Vanda & Young end up composing a soul styled track for a UK singer in the early 70's?

Tony, Trust the CD will include Brooks' epic "You Better Make Up Your Mind" , which I first heard off that legendary UK 6T's Stateside compilation LP of Amy Mala Maxx etc sides, the title of the LP eludes me just now and I am a bit lazy to dig it out at the moment ... I can't recall any late 60's / early 70's issues of Blues & Soul having any pieces on Brooks O'Dell though. I guess that you may have seen this web page https://www.songramp.com/homepage.php?userid=11240 in which you'll note that Tyrone Thomas (of the Whole Darn Family fame and the classic funk cut 7 Minutes of Funk as well as the guy who did the rare soul/ modern classic "You're Hardly Gone" on Polydor) - and who is still active on the performing scene today - had a direct connection with Brooks O'Dell back in the mid 60's as well as being connected with Swamp Dogg. Might be worth getting in touch with Tyrone Thomas then, his contact details are on that web page. Also you might find that Tyrone Thomas will give you "straighter answers" rather than the eccentric Swamp Dogg, judging from the interview done with Tyrone in the latest issue of the world's best rare funk/soul/beats magazine, Wax Poetics. Incidentally, if you read the info on Tyrone Thomas on the abovementioned web page, you will note that Tyrone Thomas also apparently was in the band backing legendary soul group Smoke who did that fantastic 70's rare soul LP on J Bridge !!!! Hope that helps Tony ! (By the way I preferred your previous avatar but we won't go into that again ... in any event your present avatar may be considered by the politically correct as possibly misogynistic or exploitative of women ... what a world we live in .... )

Sorted, thank you.

Following on from the Christmas Day Sam Dees video clip ... How great it is to see the Dells still living it large, just last week ... same classic line up, Marvin Junior (apparently in good health, and just as well that his microphone volume is down low because as you all know he can shatter windows with that voice!) A Dells World Tour in 2008 would be a marvellous gift to Soul fans, wouldn't it ? https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=exvqScn-kRA

Well said Baz, that's as how it should be, as usual , we Aussies are at the forefront of most things ! (See ya soon mate ! OO soul)

Prefer mint copy unplayed . Let's say $800 US.

Was there an original 60's UK issue or was its only UK appearance on the silver London label issued in the early 70's as a result of popularity on the northern scene ?

Warren, If you are patient and avoid buying from the UK (except from absolutely reputable gentlemen like John Manship or Pete Smith), you'll likely get one at your price. Not only that but chances are it will be described and graded correctly according to the US Goldmine system (NO "ex" grades at all & NO "++" grades !) , not the UK Record Collector system. Also unlikely to have cue burn or done the rounds of the northern circuit. Happy hunting.

No no my friend, you are mistaken, even with the same musicians, Sharon Jones is a real deal soul artiste, Amy Winehouse is not !
