Also available on a handy 7"! KENDRICKS, EDDIEMS. DIXIE 1077 I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU / WHEN I'M CLOSE TO YOU

One went for £207 on Ebay not too long ago.

I would suggest it's in the £20 - 30 area.

Hi Rich I have these: PRIME CUT SHADY BROOK 3 HEY PEARL / MESSAGE TO THE GHETTO PATTERSON, KELLEE SHADY BROOK 21 DJ I'M GONNA MAKE YOU LOVE ME / SHORT VERSION SMITH, O.C. SHADY BROOK 1045 LOVE TO BURN / GIVE ME TIME DELEGATION SHADY BROOK 1047 SOMEONE OUGHTA WRITE A SONG / MR. HEARTBREAK SWEET CREAM SHADY BROOK 1051 YOU BROUGHT JOY / PRETTY LITTLE BLACK BOY So obviously there were quite a few more!

You might pick one up off of Ebay around that price but it regularly lists at around £75 - 100. Good luck!

It's: JACKSON, JUNE IMPERIAL 66185 DJ IT'S WHATS UNDERNEATH THAT COUNTS / 50% WON'T DO I guess Mal!

Thanks Tony!

Whilst on the topic of UK reggae records, I heard a 45 by Time last week on Tropic records (or something like that). The flipside was a reasonable sweet soul group type sound. Any idea where I could get one?

REALISTICS EPIC 5156 SOMEONE OUGHTA WRITE A SONG ABOUT YOU BABY / UNCHAIN ME REALISTICS EPIC 5439 LOVE VIBRATIONS / THE MAGIC THAT YOU DO REALISTICS EPIC 5723 SO SAD / THE MAGIC THAT YOU DO Which one Chris? The 1st 2 are around £25 - 30. Quite good 70s. Don't actually have the 3rd one. Anyone?

If I remember rightly a CD called Rare Soul Review was sent to subscribers in lieu of the last subscription copy. Don't think any explanation was sent though.

To give you an idea of timing, the 45 was released in the UK on 24/11/72.

They lost their venue as numbers declined Paul.

What's the conditions like Pete?

Thanks & Well done Mike! Be a strange world of northern soul without your site, that's for sure. Brilliant job!

Yes Dave is in Japan, Martin and Andy still get out and about occasionally, Sue P is now married to Bob and living in Turkey. Saw them in Rimini in July.

Flip of this one "Baby be good (while I'm gone) is a pretty good tune too! Great double sider.

Quite right Dave a marvellous read, I didn't mention Martyn's mag because of the lenth of time between issues.

You don't want to know Geoff. the early Home of the blues and monthly B&S go for quite large sums these days. Soul Up North, Shades of Soul and There's that beat are all worthwhile purchases. The latter is very professionally produced. Available from Funky feet records on here for £6 inc post. See you Friday

It was also reissued on Kent I believe.

I've got both on issue but have not seen anything like as many "Nevers" as I have "Hey babys".

Dan ought to be able to clear up the date as he tracked down a band member and got the record's story.

What was the price if you don't mind me asking?

Dave Flynn has one with cover for £150 on his anoraks website.

I think Rod Dearlove has one of these at £100. 01964 631457
