Ooooh...have to agree with you there Ted! I bought a Jackie Wilson poster at Ron's Records in New Orleans about 16 years ago which I managed to get back to Shrewsbury in one piece! My then girlfriend framed it for me for my birthday and it has hung over my mantlepiece ever since! Still the best soul vocalist of alll time IMHO!

Oooops...Now sorted. I obviuosly thought the receipt book was a bargain at $2,750.00! Well better than a 30p DVD+R!

Is this guy joking or what? At first I thought a bit expensive for a few rare original promo photos from Motown but if rare maybe there's a market. But reading further it's a DVD of some scanned photos! View here item number 230400602614 I like the quote "The archival DVD will not require cold storage to maintain quality control"

Yes did realise it wasn't as his title of course.....was just a topic title quote of his ebay listing "20 Motown Northern Soul Master Reels Unreleased " not the facts! An obvious title just to get our attention..then again maybe an obvious mistake (as we don't know the extent of his knowledge...he may have found them in a skip!) Whatever the reason there's some quality stuff on them, just great soul the 12 minutes I've heard. If nobody else bids I will!...Anyone got a reel to reel player I can borrow? lol Seriously though probably one for the Mr Croasdells and Ace records of this world to look at. Imagine if this was all on vinyl though...jeez....how many times would I need to remortgage? Must admit though I thought I was a vinyl freak (well which I am of course as have just bought the Imaginations rather than a dishwasher for the Mrs) but these original tapes do have a charm...think it's the "catching a point in history" and hearing the private chit chat in the studio...imagining I was there with them (which I'm sure we've all dreamt about..being in the studio when Jackie Wison, Sam Dees, Garland Green recorded etc etc !) Yes I am a big northern fan (as my collection reflects) but if true to myself more a soul fan (meaning if I like it I like it it doesn't have to be northern...generally is though ) and have to say I'd like to hear all 20 tapes! Can someone buy them and post them here please! If you do pm me ffs!

Now that would be worth having if it is! Bloody 'ell wish I'd never posted this now lol shame it says 7/6/76 on it but you never know!

I emailed the guy about this and he sent me an mp3 sample. Thought I'd share. What ya reckon? Some of it sounds bloody excellent to me! Any background on the tracks? Are they demo's of unreleased sounds? Some sound familiar but will leave it to those more knowledgable than me! tem number is 270481520628. email he sent me: "It's 11 minutes of short clips thrown together, there's 20 tapes so its hard to represent how awesome they are..especially the demo tape. thanks! bobby" No it's not me selling them! Just thought it may catch the imagination as it did mine! Jonzy ...see you at the Lord Hill Shrewsbury on December Tuesday 29th...guest COLIN CURTIS!!!

Well if it's as cheap as Walter Jackson I can stretch to that!

woo hoo! Glad to be of help. Do I win the best soul source adopted uncle competition? Buy mum the single for her birthday, imagine the browny points! Here's the mp3 Walter Jackson - Touching In The Dark.mp3 Walter Jackson - Touching In The Dark.mp3

All part of the service from us reluctant geriatric teenagers!

If it is it's still a cheap record and imagine how pleased she'll be if you get it for her birthday! Get it here if it is https://www1.gemm.com/c/search.pl?field=MUSIC&wild=touching+in+the+dark&picklang=%2Findex.cgi%3Flang%3DEN%26clickflag%3D1%26&Go%21.x=18&Go%21.y=12

fookin 'ell...how long 'as it tekkin me to read this thread! But blooody entertained along tut way!

A blatant bump

send me a pm if there's one out there!

Had a similar discussion about another single sided Sapphires track previously /Sapphir...oes#entry446877

jeez i'm in shock...such a talent...totally stunned. ">

well just a quick one...I was at stafford TOTW THAT night Mr Thorley played it first time as a Mel Britt cover up .....been hooked for the last 20 years ever since!

How much you pay out of curiousity? Just wondered what the going rate is these days.

This isn't just soul - it's Rare M and S soul I think I have too much time on my hands!

Deffo a different take....piano more prominent as you say..vocals slightly different too ...wish I'd seen it too!

Think you missed the point there...made me smile though

"Thou shalt not wear baggy trousers, badges and vests after 1979 especially when over 40" (God does this get my back up...is it just me?)

ooohhh...it's my avatar! Got mine for 400 notes recently...always seems to be this price on the rare occasion you see this ace record for sale!
