Who mentioned problem??

I agree Sean, I have some in the post as we speak, there is some fantastic Areatha and Jackie Wilson material as well as Motown stuff and at a fiver a go are great value and pretty unique. Thought about getting them laser copied and knocking a few out btw the Rose Brooks looks like its from Record World but a lot of the others are from Cashbox. How was the Pitches spot at Prestatyn? Soon be SE Best B&N

Not as I read it, they are original pages from magazines. In his feedback the last negative comment says i thought I was getting a poster and all I got was a page from a magazine. Still very enterprising though. Blake

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=016 I cant make my mind up about this guy and wonder what you make of it. He is selling advertisments from old music mags from the 60s onwards. There are some great images and would make great posters etc for a record room or office etc (you have to wade through loads of pages to find the "soul" related adds). What I find funny is he has put a watermark on all the photos to stop people stealing his images! I asked him for a discount as I wanted about £200 worth but he didnt want to know so I only bought a few. Is it very enterprising, is it worth cutting up all my old Black Music/Blues & Souls? and are there copyright issues I welcome your views Blake

Where was the brass section? Memories of the Queens hall allnighters in Leeds 73/74 ish Blake

A man with great taste, right you lot who is going to sell me this tune????? Blake

Yes, come on all you that went, what did you buy and what would you have liked to buy. Blake

Bit of an old chesnut this one, I remember Richard Searling appealing for a copy of this on his Radio Hallam show in the mid eighties, he also said it came out on UK Madagascar, since then I have looked high and low to no avail. Good luck with your search, oh and if you find Sam Dees on Major Minor give us a nod Blake

Has anyone got a copy of Act One "It takes both of us" Spring 137 for sale? JM books it at £30 for a minter Cheers Blake

James Conwell & Roger Hatcher

I saw this great tune on ebay last night and would like to pass it on to a soul sourcer, so how about you lot doing the same? Recommend a 45,12" lp or cd that is available on Gemm, ebay (buy it now) or a website for say under £20 with a sound clip if possible, just an idea for a Sunday morning My recommendation is Sam Baker...Its All Over SS7 at £3.10 (+P&P) its a steal https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAM-BAKER-ITS-ALL-OV...6QQcmdZViewItem Sound clip should appear below

Is t'other side of Tommy Williams " Going Crazy (over you)? Great slowie if it is Blake

I always think the beat ballads we all love (some great examples already posted) were trying to emulate both the Drifters (as mentioned) and the Rightous Brothers who as you know had a worldwide hit with " You've lost that loving feeling". Most of our music can be traced back to a hit and the BB is no exception, IMO of course. Blake

I remember bringing a record back from the US "Shy Guy" by the Shy Guys on Trump! Blake

Rachael......... we need a Salsoul day so we can all hear these recomendations Blake

Strangers "Step out of my dream" John & Micheal Hill "Your my saving grace" Blake

"The best of Soultime" Epic "The Essential Mellow Groove" Goldmine "Crossover Soul" Goldmine These three get my vote Blake

Another piccy! Blake

Is this what you mean?

Thanks Andy for putting on a great night, loads of old faces from all over the country, thanks also to all the djs for keeping the place rocking. If you need a hand with all those bottles give me a ring Thanks again Blake & Nicky (And Kev )

Dont want that illusion - job orchestra - govinda??

Much as I love the Temptations I prefer Clay Hunts "Since I lost you" on Kapp.........oh and Rod Stewart's Sailing far better that Sutherland Bros, lol Blake not long to SE !!!
