RIGHT....heres one for y'all.... June 1959 Biscaynes........mis-beat / out of order Ridge 6601A2 and 6601A1 Ridge is one of the most rare of the Motown connected labels. This was thought to be the only release on this label.. thought to be the rare-est Motown record of them all Chico Leverett...........Solid Sender / I'll never love again Tamla 54024A The Swinging Tigers........Snake Walk / Part 2..... Tamla 54024A WESTY

according to the book "Off The Record" Motown by master numbers 1959-1989 by Reginald J. Bartlette Money came out in November.. anyway what you on about....When you are 60 you have Baby I'm for Real by the Originals ? WESTY

RON and BILL.....IT / DONT SAY BYE-BYE........TAMLA STRIPES BOB KAYLI........PEPPERMINT / NEVER MORE....ANNA LABEL I may be wrong but thought Barrett Strong came out in November, although was pressed earlier on a 10" disc. WESTY

A45 HEAVEN is Barrie Waddington, had many dealings with Barrie and always found him honest and trustworthy. Wont be barrie bumping the price up,more likely two bidders trying to outdo each other. Westy (anyone want my U.K. Polydor copy only £200 L.O.L.)

IVE GOT MAJOR LANCE'S OLD SHOES, BUT UNFORTUNATLY THERE AINT NO SOUL LEFT IN THEM WESTY (well somebody had to say it)

BOXES ARE STRONGER WHEN LID IS ON. WESTY

Ive used boxes that A4 paper comes in, in the past. They are a tad wide but seem strong enough as they hold about 5 packets of A4 which is quite heavy. Should get them free from any large office block / workplace. Westy

HI. Y'ALL, GOT MY FIVE HEARTBEATS FROM- PLAY.COM- BUT CHECK THE REGION AS MINES REGION ONE SO CAN ONLY WATCH IT ON MY COMPUTER AND NOT ON MY DVD PLAYER. WESTY

CHEERS KEV WESTY

Can anyone tell me please if Ike Turners "B" side to the U.A. single "You wont let me go" called "Dust my broom" is the same / simular or completely different to the Ike and Tina track as I cant find a soundbite for it anywhere. Thanks in advance Westy

Stevie...what about. "every time i see you i go wild", have you heard his version of "Respect" its wonderful ....Motown is great Bruce Willis etc not so good Westy (motown DJ and collector)

in fact the entire B side is worth a listen some great uptempo tracks on it. Westy

WAS SKINHEAD ESCAPES THE ONE WHERE HE GOES TO AUSTRALIA , OR HAVE I GOT IT ALL WRONG

its true weve all passed derogatory comments about other people but a soul snob makes it a lifestyle

your right , they may be dinosaurs, but still have the snobbery of thinking new stuff in not northern. To me a soul snob will look down their nose at a soul fan dancing to a popular well played easily available record , the problem is mr. dancer is enjoying himself whilst the snob has a face like he's / she's just "followed through" so to speak.

What's your definition of a soul snob. is it someone who... wont attend local events (handbaggers in attendance ) wont attend nighters (been there done that) wont listen to any new sounds ( not true northern) whats your thoughts....

Just wondering what about the "super rare" records, many of us would never get to hear them if it wasn't for the re-issue.

cheers joe, see you soon Westy

Hi... mate, heres what I know, for what its worth.......... Nowhere to Run - Martha & the Vandellas came out on Gordy only once Gordy 7039A on 2nd May 1965 can only assume as it came out only once that both copies are first issue but pressed at different places, hence different labels, I could be wrong but thats all I know about this one. Westy p.s. check out the Isley bros. version.

think it was a german release..

SHIT...Hadnt read the full thread, great news Kev, the missing ones are still out there somewhere, keep searching soulies, they may have been "frizbee'd" a distance away. Hope Sam sleeps a bit easier now, can only imagine what you both went through, see you at Blackpool. Westy
