Soul Shrews

As far as I remember Richard Searling played it first as "Lee Valentine" during the last couple of years at Wigan. After it was uncovered it was a Soul Bowl "front pager" for a few weeks so I"d guess there were a few about Cheers Paul

Nor me Cheers Paco

Never thought this was booted................mines pressed offcentre 'tho, hows yours ? Cheers Paul

The term "popcorn" in this instance refers to a scene in Belgium where they played "popcorn" music, originating @ the "Popcorn Club" Its a varied musical dance scene some of which "crosses over" to the Northern scene. Hope this helps Cheers Paul PS Nothing to do with a cinema confectionary

OK, gotcha Mike ................................don't pay no attention to Ken Cheers Paul

Been mentioned before I know but can't reccomend "Rookey Ricardos" enough, wide selection and friendly knowlegable staff (including a soul sourcer ) don't expect any daft bargains but a huge selection and if you have a little patience you will find some great soul bargains 448 Haight St (between Filmore & Webster) open 12 till 1800 daily tel(415) 864 7526 Nice beers in a bar accross the road (forgotten the name now, hic, but if you ask in the shop they'll point you inthe right direction) thirsty work this record hunting Cheers Paul

Sorry to go off topic as 1st reply Mike but since the sites been back up after the couple of days down last week, a lot of the avatars are not showing, for us anyway Cheers Paul

Seem to remember Dave Godin saying (about the re-vamped "Soul City") that he had nothing to do with it and the name was probably "owned" by the inland revenue Cheers Paul

Eddie Daniels "Is He Better Than Me" (Boots Records) Bit of an unfortunate label name My copy came from a good friend who once told me it had been 'booted" Think he got his info from Ian Clark no less So ....................how do you spot an original ? Any help really appreciated I've checked Mr Manships 1st price guide but didn't see it listed (I don't have the later guides cos I don't like these books, they give me nightmares ) and I've yet to buy the 'Bootleg Guide" (shame on me) Thanks in advance Cheers Paul

Flip that O'Jays 45 over Ganche and have a listen to "You"re The Best Thing Since Candy" great record Cheers Paul

Thought this was a repeat showing of the series shown earlier this year ? If thats the case then I think there was a thread about it at the time. I could have this very wrong tho cos I don't pay the tele that much attention Cheers Paul
