Greedy Mick

Thanks to you both, you have clarified what I needed to know

Sorry if this has been posted before, if so please guide me in right direction... If I was to see a record for auction ie on manships , Tim browns, pat bradys auction pages, Someone told me to be careful about what you bid as you will pay your bid price even if the price bid below yours is a lot lower. If anyone can clarify it would be appreciated Thanks in advance Mick

My very old dishwasher finally died this week and I headed off to the shops to get new one.. was in curry's looking around and a sales assistant asked what I was looking for. Told them I just wanted an economic dishwasher with a timer so I can make use of my economy 7 lol. They said are you sure you don't want a smart dishwasher as it sends messages to your phone if it needs rinse aid or more dishwasher salt. I said does this basic model not tell you that?? Yes it does it tells you on the display when it needs any.. it cost £249 smart ones £300 more . Am I really missing something are people this sad that they spend £300 more just to have it sent to their phone. Or am I getting old lol

Have seen him live, he's a great singer/performer. But it's NOT northern

I have a mint "unplayed" copy of this. If you or anyone else want to make an offer please pm me.

Wow. I'm flabbergasted. I've never experienced anything like that. And also have never worn fancy dress to a soul night. Don't worry you are always welcome to listen to records in my lounge lol. Don't need a book as have one and read it several times to absorb everything.

Remember Gary playing it. At Leicester and Stafford.

I also remember a very well known record dealer having one for sale. I want to say $1000 and I was so tempted and literally a week or so later got one for £40 . I always thought that it was one of the sons of the label owner who sold them , but a long time ago so if I'm wrong, sorry

I'll try what you both have said. Probably have to wait for one of my sons to come round lol.. I've only just managed vynil after 40 years of collecting lol. Only just found out that there's 2 other speeds. 33 and 45 😀

I have already converted all my oddfellows tapes to cd. Just have no idea how to put them on soul source so everyone can enjoy.. some of them are recorded through the decks and are great to listen to

Great memories, I was stood behind the camera man along with Dave Wheeler in his hi-vis orange dungarees as Keb played it. And as we went back to the main room Ally caught Dave for an interview (which can be seen on the video) and i ran off paranoid lol Before he could collar me lol.. always brilliant how we remember certain things in our lives lol

Always been one of my favourite records. I have a cassette of oddfellows 1st anniversary where Gary Rushbrooke introduces it as the embers , playing the part of the fool before Stafford recorded feb 1983 , if anyone can help i would love to post it for everyone to listen to but have no idea how to ( have it in cd format). Also I have the acetate that keb had cut with the Delcos on the flip. Will dig it out and post a picture when I get time . As always great to read all the posts with snippets of information

Brilliant read , thanks for posting, it's one of my favourite albums. It's one of the few albums that I can play both sides through and through again and again. Love all of a sudden can't believe that it wasn't massive on the northern scene

Thanks mate, these were the ones I had seen, a lot of faces I recognise but can't put names to. A few of them looked like a few soulies I knew in mablethorpe, but it's a long while ago so I might be wrong.

Would love to hear it.

Was a sad day , each time I drive past where it was it still brings back memories

Hi. They were ran under the name of The after dark soul club. Will see if I have a couple of flyers etc later

I have looked at the photos in the gallery on soul source. But I was wondering if anyone has any more that have not been posted.. I have great memories of the 1980's niters there and would love to see any photos if you have any

Thanks Ken, I was interested to see what the specials fetched as out of the 3 releases this seems to be unknown to many

Does anyone know what the results were of the last auction at Anglo American??

Another soul boy taken to the big all niter in the sky. Rest in peace and keep on dancing.. Love, prayers and thoughts are with all your family and friends x

How much would it cost to get a copy of twelve 76 on critique ? Many thanks Mick

It was a close call for me. Love Susan Rafey's version cause it takes me back to the early 80s. But little Anthony puts so much emotion in his singing it wins hands down

Back in the mists of time someone said that Freddie Chavez was the lead singer of the checkers lack of love.. don't remember where or when.. Personally I can hear similarities of the singer between the following 3 records They'll never know why/Baby I'm sorry Freddie Chavez Make up your mind Dave Norman And lack of love Thee Checkers. To me it sounds like the same person especially on the Checkers lack of love and Baby I'm sorry, Freddie Chavez But these are the only 3 records I have on this label so not 100% sure. And I have always loved Baby I'm sorry. Massive record at the oddfellows

Someone told me that these are hard to find on black issue
