Many thanks for posting Seano. I bought a lot of the later "Shades....." but have not read the first two. Thats got me through another Sat night in while Mrs Shrews watches the voice ! Cheers Paul

We have informed Terisa Griffin about this thread and how to access it. She is in regular contact with Billy and his family so would hope he will see it. Which is one of the reasons I started it after recieving permission from his family. Thanks Paul

Thanks for all the posts soul source members. Fitting for a real soul legend On a personal note; Billly, we will always treasure the lovely times we spent together in Washington DC (and that breakfast in Chicago ! ) We wish you, Mattie, Jerry and all your family strength in the coming days. Love you brother Paul and Mandy

There is and always will be a huge difference between collecting and DJing Cheers Paul

Remember Sam playing it at the time Jimmy Burns was big for Richard Searling. Was it justa question of being played by these DJs because they didn"t have J Burns ? Cheers Paul

Bought lots of new releases off Mr Warr from his list in the late 70s. Cant remember the exact dates but bought Shiley Browns Arista LP as a new release ("77 ??) Only visited the market stall once but he seemed like a really nice friendly helpful bloke. Spoke to him on the phone re orders and he was always very helpful/nice. Good to hear hes still around and about, and yes I bet hes got a good few tales to tell. Didn"t he put Mr Levine onto the Florida thrift shop for instance ? Cheers Paul

Even into the 80s with his"" new and recent releases "' front page section Mr Anderson was on top of the game. Cheers Paul

Love the look of those German promos Most come with a sleeve with some promo blurb about the group/disc Cheers Paul

I have also some 45 paper sleeves with plastic/poly lining. Not sure where these originate from but are certainly more recent than 70s card ones. Remember those horrible printed LP inner sleeves in the early 80s ? Cheers Paul

A lot of UK released LPs from the 70s had poly lined inner sleeves too Cheers Paul

Is there any evidence of this ? Does it affect vinyl and styrene ? I have records kept in these sleeves for 30 years and all play fine. I do take them out of the sleeves regularly. To play them (because thats what they are for, right ) Cheers Paul
