As i said in my post just after yours the record I hopefully bought last night newly listed is no longer there this morning. who is responsible for removing items once sold I have no idea, perhaps someone on here can tell us, is it automatic from Discogs side or does the seller have to do it. I'm sure this was answered on the last sale thread but i cannot remember the answer.

I put in a second order yesterday on a newly listed record from my wants list, if I get all well and good, if not so be it, looking this morning it is no longer listed as for sale by John so either I've got it or someone else has., this was on Discogs by the way. I think anyone who looks at sales across all outlets, sellers on here, websites ,facebook etc on a regular basis has a good idea of which records always seem to sell. I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone got in before me on the record I ordered, I'll be disappointed but in no way would I be moaning and groaning. The indie record by the Cure which is readily available elsewhere that was out of stock from my first order must be jinxed as I got an email from another seller on Discogs yesterday saying he couldn't find said record and could i give him a bit longer to find it. I know there were comments from the last sale regarding how stock is stored but if a guy selling 185 records as in my case can't find it it's understandable that with the volume of sales Johns half price sale has garnered there is going to be a backlog. I have sympathy for people who see others receiving their orders in what appears to be out of date order, I was in the same position last time but I'm sure the majority will have a positive outcome with patience.

Off topic hope you both dont mind Would that one the one where he played Liverpool supported by Phillip Mitchell that I went to. Wilson wasn't very impressed by the poor attendance but put on a great show. I had seen Phillip Mitchell i think the previous year when he replaced a poorly Al Green at the CIS in Manchester. If memory serves me right at Liverpool Mitchell had hurt his leg and either had a crutch or a stick. His set was completely different to the Manchester one due to his inability to dance. I bought a poster of the night which both Wilson and Phillip signed, I had it on the steps going down to the cellar in our cottage. When we sold the cottage I forgot about the poster plus one from the American Blues Legends Manchester gig. We only moved 500yrds up rhe road to our new housei went back the following g day and the new owners had burnt the. posters.

I see your point Kathryn ,perhaps I was a bit harsh in my assessment , not sure about lighthearted with some of the issues featured, I think the actress who overplayed the supermarket scene redeemed herself in later episodes.

Binged watched it last week, first impressions were so so as I thought the supermarket scene was well overplayed . That said I enjoyed it, some very sad scenes. My only real downer and after seeing an interview with the writer I understand the premise of the whole thing being about older women and how they are viewed and treated but surely she could have written in at least one good male character. I think my problem with some TV is I have a hard time accepting its a drama and not real life and find it hard to suspend common sense that this or that just wouldn't happen. I guess I'll have to suspend belief again when they hit the charts in a possible second series which yes despite my criticism I will watch and enjoy.

Ordered Sunday, one deep soul two cheap 90's indie records, arrived Friday, one indie record reduced to a quid for which I'll have to pay over £9 elsewhere as it was out of stock, refund and postage refund due to unavailable record. No complaints, excellent service this time around.

Dont know if anyone is interested in this,how genuine it is,came free from a mate with a different white label what i assume is a carver with Cool Off on one side and sitting in my class on the other . Anyhow as I say don't know if the signature is genuine or a photo copy onto the stick on label. If it is genuine and anyone wants it,maybe you have the single with no sleeve, free to good home.

French series The Intruder BBC 4 started last night, nervy stuff, Lou's exclaimed "oh no" countless times, excellent so far. Only four episodes watched the final two this afternoon on iplayer. Thoroughly enjoyed.

I like to see and hear what might be played at Ashton as it was my favourite venue when we were out and about ,just wish I could afford some of em' A bit off topic but related I used to enjoy reading the Living Room Dj thread and from there discovering tunes I didn't know, many that were affordable. I'd hazard a guess from memory it was more collector based rather than what was currently being played but interesting nontheless.

Saw this and thought it might be of interest. The CourierLegendary Northern Soul club nights saw Dundee gangs forg...Dundee's Northern Soul scene exploded in 1975 - think vests, baggy trousers, high-energy dancing, and secret all-nighters.

I put a search a search in for Brooke Combe How Can I Tell You for sale and it came up with Townsend Music pre order. Initially on the search it showed the price in dollars yet when you click on the link the price is in pounds sterling. Not released until late Nov. Hope this helps.

Just binge watched the 3rd series of The Newsreader, Australian drama set obviously in a news room which is showing on the Beeb.. Set in the 80's stories revolve around actual events and how the fictional station covers them and the relationships therein of the station staff. All three series available on i player.

I haven't seen mention of this putting it here hoping it will get more views than in the Tv forum,mods feel free to move, saw it mentioned on Breakfast tv this morning, bit of mix of soul and gospel, some great vocalists among them Beverly Knight doing Aretha, made me wonder why they didn't use some of them in the infamous Northern prom, a marvellous saxophonist. Available on i player. Enjoyed the instrumental of Move on Up, a few Curtis songs in there . Well worth a watch.

Only just caught this when it was shown , well worth a watch, some good insights into the development of the genre.

Love Has Won, The Cult of Mother God on Sky documentaries left me amazed at the nonsense people could believe to be true. I found it to be frightening and laughable at the same time that any sane person could seriously believe some of the things the people in the cult took to be true. I couldn't figure out whether three of the people involved went along with the whole thing because it gave them an easy life but they all seemed to actually have complete conviction that Amy Carlson was indeed God and was guided by amongst other "galactic's" Robin Williams . I found it hard at times to take any of them seriously but it was a fascinating insight into the workings of a cult.

Me too now ,pretty sure someone will come up with the answer, hopefully not before long

Funny how misery can make you happy, some wonderful tunes ,some new to me, a few I own, cheers enjoyed.

A video popped up showing a bloke using a record cleaning brush. Anyone use one or a velvet pad type. I know they aren't expensive but are they any better than an anti static cloth?

Just seen Happy feet's earlier post regarding this,Mods feel free to delete my post

Oops just seen your post,I had one as well, will ask mods to delete my post,I've contacted North Broad St to advise as to them possibly being hacked. Mine was for tge same record as yours.

Has anyone else had an email supposedly from North Broad St with an invoice for a record purchased from them in September last year. The supposed invoice is for far more than the purchase price. I've checked my bank and no money has so far been taken. I have sent an email to them asking the same question. Might just be me but if you have purchased from them in the past keep an eye. I'll update when I hear from them. The email is obviously not from them, invoice says my purchase is now complete.

Another by WillieHutch i don't think has been mentioned

Amazing what's out there, I was surprised to see they are celebrating their tenth anniversary, never heard or seen anything about them. As Norman says a great link. I've seen several news items about the link between music and reviving memories in people with dementia. Makes my efforts in writing down my musical memories more significant now, at this point I haven't shown or told my family I've been doing it maybe I now should. To anyone inspired to do something similar I've been tempted to write about a record from memory but found it best only do it whilst playing the actual record ,if you have it of course. I say this because I've played tunes that I thought would mean something and they evoked no particular memory, some warrant only a couple of lines, Jack Hammer for various reasons took up two pages. Cheers again for the link

Bare with me I'll get to the record part eventually. Away from the collecting and picking up on your "mean something to me" my Dad who died many years ago putting it politely liked the odd drink, he would regularly ride his bike home from work not an inconsiderable distance the worse for wear after stopping off at the pub. More than once with the clock approaching 10'30 Mum would ask one of us to go out and see if we could see him coming up the road. We would eventually see the dimming and brightening of his dynamo front light appear appear over the brow of the hill weaving from side to side, as he got closer we'd hear the dulcet tones of I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen fading into the night air. Thankfully at that time of night in those days there was little traffic on the roads, it would maybe be a different story now as would the time he rode through the traffic lights on red, again the worse for wear getting a severe telling off from a patrolling policeman, remember them, who then proceeded to tell him to be more careful and sent him on his way. Wind on 30 odd years in a charity shop I came across said record , not ashamed to say I had a little tear in my eye, guy behind the counter did a double take as to why I would be buying a beat up 45. After paying the princely sum of 10p he enquired was it any good and worth anything. I replied haven't the faintest, never heard the record but I've known of it all my life, in monetary terms it's worthless but the happy memories of my dad singing it are priceless. It will eventually be going on the wall framed with a picture of my Dad predictably downing a pint of mild at my sisters wedding.

Hope this is relevant to yourquestion I'd not played my vinyl for 30 odd years or so and sold some to mates,not a lot but enough to think I better put aside the ones that mean something to me,I'm guessing the type of record you are describing. I bought my first proper record case,until then my records had been stored in wooden boxes I made at work. I quickly filled that box with the like of Brooks and Jerry, Billy Preston, Jerry Butler,Betty Everett etc. Then a mate at work gave me his Dad's cheap home Dj set up, I thanked him and have cursed him ever since as I started buying again and the collecting bug took hold. It's something I've been thinking about recently, how many records do you actually need. I like British but not exclusively, maybe because that's where my early memories of collecting started. The thing is I now have the desire to own the original UK issue hence I've got doubles of Getting Mighty Crowded, Billy's Bag etc. Even buying the original issue I couldn't part with the President copies as they have been with me for what seems like forever. I've tried explaining to non Soul people the feeling I get just seeing a Blue Stax record in a charity shop or market stall, even something as mundane as Dock of the Bay still has to be picked up and gazed at,it's just something inside me. I've lost count of the number of people who have told me I need help. I'm trying now not to buy records I just like and pay a bit more if necessary for records I love. In the grand scheme of things my self imposed limit would to most be laughable with current prices being paid but there are plenty of records I want at the price I want to pay. I'm With Solidsoul above, high price or rarity has no bearing on what I buy, 90% are under 50 quid. I recently started writing down in a book My Life In Music, I only add a record as it is playing on the deck, just a mixture of thoughts how the record makes me feel, where I first heard it, who it reminds me of, happy or sad memories, favourite part of lyric. It might when I'm gone give my kids a more personal insight into my life or they might just throw it in the bin. I think the key to collecting is to buy what you love not the current in record. I do buy a limited amount of reissues on Kent etc which i could never afford on an original though I much prefer to spend 15 quid on an original lesser known
