Steve Plumb

Yep LP only..................and what a fookin track! Should be a frigging monster??????????? (imho) Steve

I have a 'Mustard' Issue meself which is a very tasty alternative to the W/D but the B side isn't Funk.............from memory (not played it for yonks) it's a very disappointing mish-mash of a record that the Funk boys would probably laugh at! Apologies if I'm wrong on this as i said i hadn't played it for yonks! When i bought it i was SO hoping it'd be a brill 70's dancer, a brill deep cut or a brill Funk track BUT it was none of them! If it was a top B side it's be up there with the holy grail 45's imho cos it not easy to find at all! Still, looks great though Cheers Steve btw I also am one of the many with an Ex copy of the original W/D for sale Find it here www.soulmusic.co.uk/Northern_Originals_List.htm

Hi Don That was summat i did for a very short while in the mid 70's.........................along with the stupidest thing ever, an 'X' on the top side! I soon realised this was a stupid thing to do though.............Thankfully, I could only afford pressings and cheap originals at the time, so I never defaced owt rare! I remember getting that lovely 'Green' label Ebonys from a Soul Pack and only sold it cos i replaced it with a 'Gold' issue. Don't think it had an 'X' on it though? I see you played it recently at soulgalore too? Fabulous record that still sounds great now! Cheers Steve

Just logged on at 4pm today and it's taken me best part of 4 hours to get thru the thread! Very interesting stuff but we shouldn't be surprised at it's popularity should we? Love him or loathe him BUT you can't ignore him! Surely a shot in the arm for Soul-Source! Good evening Ian - hope you're well mate - thanks for the mention above, can we discuss The Orwell then As it happens, yer good mate Mr Curtis did an authentic 'Last Hour of The Mecca' set at our last one and it was superb Cheers Steve

Well whilst we're going up in price as the thread grows You can try here www.soulmusic.co.uk/Northern_Originals_List.htm Cheers Steve

My nomination for 'post of the week'

Was it 'Why do we hurt each other'? Catchy dancer from the D & G LP that's had a few plays?

Works OK for me on IE7 Cheers Steve

Well i'm more than happy at the price the lilac & white went for..............after recently purchasing one for my good self Stick the scan up John, it truly is beautiful Cheers Steve

Hi Gary Minimum of £150 imho Cheers Steve

Dene/Gold isn't it? used to write for Delegation & other Brit groups, that's why I assumed it was the original and promptly pulled when Aretha & Jackie wanted to record it! Uncle Tony will sort us out I'm sure As has been mentioned they are a good little group and of course their 'One more step to take' still gets plenty of spins on the Modern scene! Would loved to have seen you on them bongos mate - bet you had a little goatee and looked as cool as f**k Cheers Steve

Isn't that the original version Jordi? Sure Tony R will know? Cheers Steve

And i know i'll get accused of bulling up a record i have for sale BUT the other side is awesome imho!!! 'Say what you mean'.............Deep Femme Crossover Cheers Steve

Hi Shaun The list soon builds up don't it Looking forward to adding another 30 or so tunes to that list on Sunday The four of us have got a few nice bits 'n' pieces lined up Cheers Steve

No probs

Got one here Sir www.soulmusic.co.uk/Crossover_Soul.htm Cheers Steve

A tasty little tune Paul that I've heard on't radio as well as Yarmouth/The Orwell etc I also rather like the previously unreleased Northern track on the CD 'Candy from a baby' too - real driving dancer that I hope the Northern folks pick up on Cheers Steve

Was just going to post this info too Wasn't he involved in one of those New York mid 70's Soul/Disco labels? Mainstream, IX Chains, Vigor, Fast Track or something like that? Or have i dreamt it? Steve

Quote of the week (and I don't mean in the context of the thread, don't want to get involved in a Timmy/Johhny debate, just a funny quote!) Steve

I agree Whether you were around at the time of the early bootlegs or have only recently got into collecting, this is an essential guide Also, I've used it on occasions to 'prove' to someone that the £500 rarity that they want to sell is simply a £10 boot from the 70's! John, you also need to tart it up so it makes a good companion on the shelves to the US & UK guides So when's Volume 4 due Mr M? Cheers Steve

Hi Ian Hope you're well mate? Yep, the B side's a good un ain't it? Here's the blurb i wrote on first hearing it......... 'Sounds like an old record that should have been recorded by Betty Wright in the 70's! (Maybe it was?) Nice 70's style dancer with a 'Southern' feel!' Think I'll dig deeper and get some more info? Cheers Steve

Gloria Shannon has beaten everyone so far (except Sean who already had it ) and they are currently winging their way to all points of the globe!!!!!! Gonna be a monster methinks? All gone now, although I've managed to grab an extra couple of copies so please email me on sales@soulmusic.co.uk to reserve one once they arrive as they won't be available on the site unless they do a repress? For those of you visiting the site, can I suggest that the Rhonda McDaniel 45 is worthy of a listen too? Came out the blue this week and it's a great double sider with a very tidy UNRELEASED version of the Shirley Wahls classic 'Why am I crying' Take the challenge at www.soulmusic.co.uk Cheers Steve

Cheers Sean - will look out for it

Well it's 1970 so you can breathe a sigh of relief Cheers fella Steve
