Just uploaded issue 24 again (in original post) as had trouble with it originally (#24 and #27 mixed together somehow) R E Gards Bob

Deleted upload as there are duplicates uploaded now ATB

"Ah" issue 5 that discussed Polydor releases that included a wide range of records from the US of A, and also cover versions mostly played at the Torch in SoT." Polydor was also responsible for other labels including Track, that as well as releasing stuff by Jimi Hendricks also released "If this is the Love" by the Precisions on Drew. Info for new to the scene, apologies to them that know already. ATB Bob

Absolutely SPOT ON. and them Demo's where are they now? (please don't reply "in collections" thanks)

Was messaged that Issue 24 went into Issue 27 at page 30, have uploaded again in chronological order, can someone check it out please and respond. Many thanks for your perseverance. Checked it myself and don't upload proper. (in key of E minor) shall try again tomorrow ATB Bob

These anomalies have been placed intentionally to get feedback (or is that just my way of cover?) Bob

Been a while, but boy is this worth the wait. I defy anyone who says that the UK record companies did not cater for Soul music in the UK, as they would source American soul records for release in the UK (remember back in the 60's imports were illegal and only gained access into the UK via ports, most notably in the North West and South East and also the USA based soldiers who bought their own way of life here, as they did wherever they were based, hence the finds to be made in Germany). This also lead to independents such as Deep Soul and Soul City releasing tracks that were sought after by the now emerging NS movement. That's my soap box moment, take it as you like, but more importantly enjoy the read. NB - As per usual all credit goes to Pete Smith for contributing/compiling/producing and also all contributors to the mag R E Gards Bob Beatin Rhythm Issue Number 4.pdf Beatin Rhythm Issue Number 5.pdf

Shall sort it tomorrow, thanks for letting us know. Regards

Wakefield Sun Trypt on Love MGM Demo M- Cond £60 pm if interested

Need to crack on with these. Shall try and upload more soon ATB Bob

Thanks to Sean for uploading again, fault was on my part. I have also uploaded again this time "correctly" in the earlier post so as to keep them chronologically (if that's the right term) correct ATB Bob

Not sure what happened there, must have liked issue 7 that much posted it twice. Cheers for the correction Sean ATB Bob

Don't know but the other side has connections with Little John/Trent Sisters on Gogate, which you perhaps already knew as this reply is 5 years down the line. ATB

Just looking at #25 and how good is that front cover, what value the records now I wonder? how many Little John on Gogate are there even today (wasn't last copy around 6k?) Any replies welcome (apart from what happened to Rob Grays copy of MS, you best ask him yourself).

No post intended

Been a pleasure to upload them as it gave me the opportunity to read them again, however as I have said earlier, this was Sean's baby and I only got involved because I had access to scanning an uploading facilities and had the time to do it. Thanks must also go out to Chalky, Mike and the SS team who have supported this thread throughout, and also to Derek Pearson and all the contributors to Shades without which this thread would not exist. I, as am sure others involved, am only too pleased that we have been able to contribute to Soul Source, and pass on this well documented information. R E Gards Bob

Check if you can upload this one, I had no trouble with it. Bob Shades of Soul Issue 26 Oct 96.pdf

Thanks for that Mike ATB Bob

​Going rate at the time, similar prices for Soul Bros Inc, Ree Flores, etc, and they were too much then (imo) As in the words of John Gary Williams, The Whole Damn World Is Going Crazy

Little Anthony now Sold

now sold

​Got Bari Track/Miss my baby (latter being played at the time- circa 72) around 74 from Derek at Coaville Market, who had on his labels "special import" or summat like that, soul bowl.

I personally stopped going to soul venues around 1982 as I got married in 81, and Mr Gair did what Mrs Gair wanted him to do. As per chance in 1984 I was working at Surridge Dawson (Newspaper/magazine wholesalers) and was talking to a magazine rep (spotlight) who had frequented the Torch/Mecca. We spoke about old times, and then he showed me an article in Record Collector about a new magazine that was being launched. Unfortunately I didn't buy it until a good few years later (#11) and have paid the price. Lessons to be learnt methinks.
