Hi , Can you please ship UK to Spain basic shipping on Soul up North Magazine £4.25 Please. My problem is since you add spanish VAT of 22% ,plus Import duties on receipt of items at the post office of Approx £5 and your Signed ,tracked demand of £9.25 ,it is totally untennable on a low value item . Sadly this is the reality of me buyingfrom countries outside the EU Countries . Hope you can make this choice available , Cheers John .

Will be returning to UK after 22 years, who are the TopDJs gigs to checkout? (For only a month!)

Karl ,regarding your F.A.Q, as to RC,s source info Ian Shirley alludes to : Omega auctions ,E Bay ,Discogs ,Thousands of recordshops and dealers websites plus face to face sales ,Wow ! such dilligence. Finally nobody asked what Numero Uno in Rc,s Top 200 Rarest records ,well of course it was those loveable scouse Moptops , their 10 " acetate, cut at Kensington studios ,for 17shillings and 6 pence "That,ll Be THe Day ", is worth £250 ,000 ! P.S , Lee jeffries Frank Wilson at Number 4 worth still a mere £100,000,not yet the " Solid Gold Investment" the writer claims?

Record Collector ,Oct 2021,; has a "Rarest 200 Records in the Whole Wide World " item, and at number 136 is Cecil,, described as " Kitchen Sink " {made of randem disparate items ] valued at £2,000 !! .This is by Ian Shirley and Johnny Trunk,the same RC mag that led me on fruitless expeditions in the uk, believing uk NS rarities could be had for a fraction of their real value ? After 40 years RC has finally got up to Speed on NS Values ; no 73 , Eddie Parker =£3,000 no 34. The Tomangoes= £5,000 { not the imposter on here?} no15, Arthur and his Soulful Dynamics= £10,000. No1 , Not Telling? 16% of records are N.S. choices. Ps do not buy the said mag rest of content is Kitchen Sink ,instead,, top shelf cheeky read in Newsagents ,page 88!!

45 ,any lable please ,thanks for looking, LOL John .

The view from Europe on events . As expats we did 3 weekenders a year , February ,September and October. The situation is still very uncertain , Can we dance ,venue capacity, closing times ,masks ,restriction on booze ,testing ,isolation! It must be hell for promoters {we drive } asking Brits to arrange flights, ,hotel bookings, facing such hassle and hope for the numbers to make all their hard work worthwhile. We are longing for venues to return but still call me 50/50,undecided Spain!

Great News For Lew Baretto ,{Dore Records} . Some well deserved , more income from a tremendous Failed commercial tune ! Gloria Jones got nada from " Tainted",{Alledgely},.. But yet the producers of the 2019 Richard Curtis movie "Yesterday " Paid Sony 10 Million $ for a few Beatles songs, { Macca Still Fights for the Rights on early tunes Post 50 year copyright deadline !!} The Mafiosa Minefield of Music Rights ?? songs {Macca still fights for copyright on earlier tunes,, post 50 year limit}.

Gracias Russ , Just bought a copy for 9 euros off Metal MailOrder ,{Plenty left on Discogs ,in coloured vinyl ,from Transylvania ,Doom Metal etc on discogs } .. Tiaras, Gloria Jones etc Kent copies £40 ,to £100, Orig versions £6,000 !! Vocals very authentic to Ritas ,arrangement spot on ,and slightly stompier. As Ken B says Good effort from Sweden ,NS meets Death Metal !

Al Green at Glastonbury on main Pyramid stage in 1995 !! He would have been in his early 50s , full backing singers and band ,set list included ; "Lets Stay Together " ,Tired of being alone ", "Take me to The River " an Otis medley ; My girl "Dock of bay etc. "how Can you mend a Broken Heart"{Cool version of this exists by Julio Double Glazin??}. Very energetic performance ,well worth a watch on BBC Iplayer for 29 days UK only ,the Rev couldnt resist a bit of preaching amazing sight of 100,000 plus made to chant Jesus Christ!! Sorry no Hot line releases or his excellent Outta Sight /Real side ,release"Keep Pushin Love" from 1995.

Also check out his Version of "What Does it Take {to win your love }" on a Mexican only Sceptre 45 . Well up there with the multitude of other covers!

As a life long Berry Gordy jnr Collector and Weekender Dj At the Amazing NS Portugal Algarve Gig { 7 th to 11th October 2021 ,see S.S Events for details } , Last year ,Pre Covid ,I did a Straw poll on some influential Players on the NS ,/Classic Motown scene ,Ginger Taylor, Kev Roberts, Chris Dalton, Tony Blackburn , Steve Plumb, Booper ,Roy Rogers ,Trigger ,etc. to Really Track opinions , Number One , " NOT "Tracks " ,or ABC no 15 ,Teena Marie .Rick James , "War " etc NADA ,,, Numero Uno ..... 1.
