5 x New 45s Via Kent - Valerie Simpson, Pretenders, Albert Washington, Hesitations...
Is it just me, or is ace/kent records the worst place to by their merchandise etc. I try and buy 3 or 4 items but I'm consistently going in circles trying to put more than one item in basket. Love the label and output but bloody hate the website. Please ace, sort it.

Ted Massey- RIP
Ted was such a good man, always time for a chat. Such a legend on the Scene. One of those guys who was loved by all. May he rest in peace. Just want to say I think what happened to Ted and his records was despicable. I hope that the people that stole are eventually named and shamed. Ted carried on as all was normal, such was his heart, big enough for everyone on the soul scene

Those Funny Northern Soul Tracks
Remember hearing 5000 volts 'I'm on Fire', at the Casino. I walked off the dance floor in a Huff. Another record to consider is John Miles 'One Minute Every Hour'. I met John in the 90s and mentioned the record, he was bloody amazed anyone knew it.

Itv Ready Steady Go Rsg! The Sound Of Motown 1965
Dusty genuinely seemed to be having the time of her life. A kid in a sweet shop in her favourite pick n' mix. A great early showcase of Motown music that become the staple diet for mods and hipsters of the day and eventually the soul fans of the UK.

Racism at NS venues; did/does it happen
I for one never came across racism and speaking to my mate Sammy Dee neither did he,when I hear these comments I do wonder of the origin. its always been a puzzle to me why(for example) people go to black music gigs,buy exclusively black music yet hate black people,it just doesn't make sense.i think a lot of these comments from people that they encountered racism at soul venues was not from regular soul attendees but people from outside seeing what the fuss was all about at all nighters.

Parcel Arrived But No Record In It, Is This A Scam
Same thing happened to me a few years ago where my parcel was intercepted by someone in this country and my goods were swopped with items of no use,sender was 100% reliable of whom I knew personally,the items replaced in package were UK items. On another note when buying records in the U.S. ,have you noticed sometimes the name of the record is on the package,surely this makes your items more at risk if the 'perp' knows his stuff.
