Have to say the charles bradley programme was superb, thanks to the bbc for bringing him to my ears , also i love barry white, no point getting snobby about hearing good soul music, barry white sold millions of records that means he was good at what he did !! also the majestics on linda( i love her so much), yep thats barry singing away plus all the stuff a&r wise on bronco and mustang means the guy had serious pedigree too, a great night on bbc4

i was there last year and saw the sign at a bar " northern soul this sat night", great i thought, got there early, sat down ordered a drink, 45 mins later a man n woman started singing bad covers of 70's 80's country etc, they were called northern soul ??? take an ipod mate !!

$4000 eh, that baby came from out of nowhere !!

Can't Wait

Picture this, 15years old, no google back then !! and i'm flicking thru a box, found one i was after, on joker with 2 other tracks on it £3, great i thought, but i knew it was a re press with limited knowledge, however further flicking thru and this appeared for the same price tag £3, oh great i'll have the original then , little did i know it was a soussan masterpiece !! Still ain't got a palmer, or the soul galore anymore !! the joys of being 15 eh !!

But the story was, this is the first local label, that actually did happen back then so it was a lot less hassle to take £1.25 off some poor sod !!

Shiny one is the boot, a shade lighter in the print too., good one tho

But......... if a "dealer" says i only paid 10 cents for it, give us a quid ???????? lol

Good one kev, it did have a H in the run out !!

OK So whats the best looking boot from the 70's that actually made you thought you had bought a real one ??. Ill start of with Frank Beverley on liberty bell, as the ootp looked very much a boot, when that the liberty bell started to do the rounds it was a good effort to deceive !! Come on Chaps !!

WOOD GLUE !! LOL Ask Sean Chapman and Nige Brown !!

Hmmmmm ok on the fence here, i found john to be a very nice guy, but i did bid on a record i wanted, auction finished at 6pm i was the highest bidder, then the auction end time was increased by 5 mins, then again and agian, it ended at 6.20, i lost the bid, i was a touch bemused by it but thats life, as its been quite rightly stated i think john does have a great site and it does very well indeed.

look at the basics here, its a record that took a long time to get big, it is a big floor filler, people like it, i can take it or leave it but, i do play it out if i think it will go down well( its not let me down so far really) is it soul ?? prob not, but then again was javells,footsee or the cherry people any better at wigan ?? i dont think so !!

still have mine for sale(bidds please) forgot my bloody password hence the slow reply, sorry Cheers

i got one pm me an offer, good clean condition vinyl & labels !

I just think it sounds like a failed broadway show thats all, imho !!

Not doubting credentials, just dont bring me down is awful !!

Maybe off topic here but wasn't the torch chris burton, colin curtis, keith minshull, martyn ellis, johnny beggs, alan day ?? and if a "torch" do is to happen again then as many of the original torch line up be present ? Just an observation no offence intended.

Here we go then, Holly st james, pure white pop fail Eddie bishop call me, this has to be the worst record in history linked with some sort of "soul" connection( it has none at all) Rita decosta Broadway wannabe and bloody awful Sorry if you love these, i'll buy you some ears !! Keep smiling

Common record but almost impossible to find is .............. FONTELLA BASS RESCUE ME CHECKER WHITE DEMO !! So tim ashibende told me, and er yes i was shocked too !!

Tragic, another soul legend gone.
