Incredible singer, I can't do enough for you and School of life are forever desert island songs for me.

Great stuff Kev, sounds like an enjoyable night.

Paramount Four - You don't know (till it happens to you) b/w I've made up my mind - Southern City. Beautiful copy, strong VG++ to M-, plays superb both sides. Labels look excellent as well. Two great sides, make sure to check the sweet flip if you don't know it. £400, shipping is from Sweden. Thanks for looking, Carl

Somebody should pick up that Right Track LP, two superb sweet soul tracks on there.

I need love is fantastic, and a few more nice cuts on there as well.

Darling Dears strikes me as a perfect example.

There's a good chance we'll meet at SD&S, Kev - playing at Soul not Dole the day after!

Looks awesome once more. Do you have dates set after the one in February? Looking at coming over again in the spring/summer.

I thank you kindly!

A little over 300 if memory serves.

Selling a copy of the scarce Doctor Rhythm LP "I feel it rising", only issued in South Africa on the Café Society label in 1981. Standout tune is the two stepper "I feel so strong now" that's been a spin for Wayne Arbon. Vinyl is like new, a shiny NM. Cover is worn along top seam, otherwise nice, would grade VG to VG+. Looking for £160. SOLD Thanks, Carl

So very sad to hear this. Paul was one of the first UK soul guys I met, and I will always remember him as a true gentleman, funny as hell and equally kind. Always a pleasure to meet him in Yarmouth or Bilbao, and later on at our Stockholm event as well. Last time we met was the Memphis soul trip in May. Even when his bodily health let him down, Paul still had that great, warm aura. What a class act. Thoughts go to Clare. Rest in peace Paul.

Thanks Kev, thought you might like a few of those tunes:))

The lead singer in Young Mods (esp on I can't hurt you back) sounds so much like Curtis it's almost silly.

Issue only, no use getting the demo if you're after that track.
