Winter sun on Burton Marshes. It's a good job sheep can't read because, the sign in the background is a warning to tell you to keep off as it's a firing range Kev

Those were the days eh! We would spend Saturday afternoons at each other's houses playing our latest sounds and even do our own cover ups. I think collecting Motown is a great start. Exactly where we started, except in those days we were buying some of them as new releases. Things that ended up becoming big in later years like "Martha Reeves - No one there". If you buy what you like then you can't go wrong as long as you don't pay over the odds for it. Plenty on here will help you with values so you won't pay too much. Good luck Kev

The Marine Lake, West Kirby.

Great to see the Vulcan. I spent my early years in Waddington Lincs opposite the Vulcan Bomber base watching them take off every day. My special trick was to get lost at air shows and have my name read out over the tannoy. Kev

My recent trip up to the Lakes

I've got the official motown backing track to the Isleys, but it has some backing vocals on it..Like Pete says if it was the stereo version of the album sometimes the vocals and instrumental are split. The Motown Karaoke cd's are split like that. I think there's one secondhand set left on amazon as they are deleted now.

I really don't know why I never heard it played out. Maybe I did, but it just didn't register. I dipped out of the scene for a bit, like a lot of people and first heard it on one of those very early northern soul compilation cd's c1989. In fact during the 90's I bought pretty much every northern cd I could get my hands on as I was bringing up kids so Richard Searling's radio shows and cd's were my only source of new sounds. Kev

Thanks Pete, Are they both on Breakthrough and do they have the same catalogue number? Kev

Nearly 25years after first hearing it, I've only just discovered that there are two versions of "No on else can take your place". There are two different copies on Breakthrough. Are these the two different versions? I'm sure someone out there can help me Thanks Kev This version or This Version

Hall and oates never did baby come back to my knowledge. It was Player and the you tube clip is Player and says so in f***ing big letters. Why someone has put it up as Hall and Oates I've no idea. Anyway it appears it's not that one anyway. Kev

Johnny Caswell You don't love me was played from the offset at Wigan. That was the first place I heard it. Then Paul Anka followed covered up as Johnny Caswell and Epitome of Sound as Moses Smith. Kev

As you know I buy boots off you, but generally if I don't want to spend a fortune on a record. Like the Del Larks, Joe Hicks, Yvonne Baker or Mel Britt, but want to play them at home Kev

Interesting reading the notes about Edith Wayne/Ronald Dunbar. I was told that Edith Wayne was the Cleaner and Ronald Dunbar the Janitor in their building. Kev

Just had the chance to play them all through. Fantastic set Ian. Well put together and great quality all round Thanks Kev

Thanks Ian, Just got confirmation of the order. Great price. Kev

Very Strange.....When I go to pay with paypal it shows up as being £15.99 Kev Just read the other comments about before vat. Thanks
