I’ve had one from Roger before, did us proud. I’ll be in touch with him. Thanks

Thanks Richard, I’ll check them out

I once bought an Ian Levine soul pack - playing through them was an ordeal!

I’m looking for a soul pack (100 records) to share with some chums for Christmas. Does anyone know of anybody selling them?

I wondered if it might be him, given that he wrote and produced it, but the two voices don’t sound at all similar to my ears

I just listened to Azie Mortimer’s version of “You can’t take it away “ and there’s a male voice duetting who sounds to me a lot like Jerry Butler. Anyone know who it is?

I think it’s actually Texas Southern University. One of their Ovide releases features a live version of “Nothing can stop me” and you hear the MC announce them as “Tor o na does”. I wondered why he pronounced it that way, checked the label and realised I’d misread their name for decades

Thanks for all your replies. I’m not talking about anything expensive, just bought some stuff cheap at a record Fair and had about a dozen with Dymo on. I’m tempted to leave them alone, but if I have a go at removing I’ll report back with the results

I always thought the Chuck Jackson & Maxine Brown version came first. - it’s on the same LP as “Baby take me”

Does anyone know of a way to remove Dymo tape from record labels?

Thanks for those suggestions - I’ll definitely check them out. I’ve had packs from Tim before, but never from Roger

Does anyone sell soul packs these days? I’m looking to get a soul pack to share with three mates for Christmas, with each of us putting in £100. Any recommendations?

Charles Allen - Winter man. Also done by Clarence Reid

I have a few mint copies of Arnie's Love - I'm out of your life" on UK Streetwave WAVE 9. Unplayed warehouse stock. £5 each plus £2 P&P

All sorted, they’ve found a home

Just found a pile of black and white promo photos, 70s Soul and jazz artists (Isaac Hayes, Natural Essence, Cal Tjader, Rufus, War, Crusaders among others), about 3 dozen. Anyone want then? Just pay the postage or collect

Hunt’s Determination (to privatise it)

I've also got a pile of old record lists, from around 1970 (priced in shillings and pence, anyway), mostly FL Moore, a few Jeff King. Mourn your missed opportunity to buy Vala Reegan on red Atlantic for 5/-. Again, free for collection from Stoke

Does anyone want around 120 issues of "Manifesto", starting at #2, 9 issues of Dave McCadden's "Soul Galore" and a few copies of "There's that Beat"? Free if you can collect (I'm in Stoke). There's also 20-odd years of "Record Collector", from 1983. PM me if you want them

Thanks for all your suggestions. I think shelving will be my major challenge so feel free to keep sending great ideas

That is some record room! I’ll definitely be investigating those shelves. Many thanks

We’re still in negotiations about the exact meaning of “all”, but I’m hopeful

Great suggestions, many thanks. I’ll definitely move the singles myself, maybe let the removal men do the LPs. I’ve got purpose-built shelves here but that’s been vetoed by my beloved, so any thoughts on ready-made? Looking at around 12000 singles and 2000 LPs

Sorry. - meant to post in “All about the soul”, mods please move
