Mucho Jaw dropping at the prices Mr Manship achieves evey week , aghast members recall prices from decades ago ,a pint of bitter was 10p etc ,etc, Beat this for Rapid inflation ?? Pete Jolly " A Sign Of The Times " us Columbia ,3 copies appeared for sale on Discogs at £ 500 a piece and one on Pat Brady,s current auction nudging £300.! I bought one from US, mint Columbia for 57$ dollars { about £30 } 2 weeks ago ., other on Ebay sold for 67$ ,last on discogs ,issue ,made £5 in 2020. What is the fuss all about? Firstly Mr Jolly is a famous Accordion player and pianist on tv show themes . The Tune is an instrumental of Pet Clarks Vocal version from 1965, Peters version is on a par with Derek and Ray ,Pat Williams ,etc,etc. ! I remember the Pet Clark ," Sign" being played at the Casino ,along with her " Gotta Tell the World " and the Jolly Instro from an LP .not at the allnighter but at the myriad of Empress Ballroom mid week and Sunday Soul sessions in the 60s. As a "Crazy Northern Instro" Phsyco , I Luv Mr Jolly,s super investment. Stay Happy and Safe ,John , Malaga,Spain.

"What Does it take [ To win Your Love From Me ]" B.J. Thomas ,Mexican Scepter 45 P,S ,Only . Love this tune have many of the 15 plus versions ! Paid 30 Dollars from Guadalajara,Got over Donald ,s Wall ? Then spotted a second one on discogs from germany at 2.69 Euros ,so bought that last week , cornered the market ?? LOL Stay Safe ,John, Malaga,Spain.

Anthony White " Never Let You Get Away From Me " P I R , 45 , Gracias for Looking , Stay Safe , John ,, Malaga ,Spain.

P.I.R AE71138; "Lets Clean Up The Ghetto " Detroit ,City Edit . Anyone please verify this illusive number of the 17 white demo City variations does exist? After an eternity of looking ; Discogs does not list detroit, none on e bay or popsike recently, and the wonderful Bsnb,record lable listing site ,no luck. This is the last in the series I need to finish my Quest ! Stay Safe ,John.

" Never Let You Get Away From Me " Anthony White 45 , PIR Records. Cheers For Looking . John,Malaga,Spain.

AE7 1138, PIR, "Lets Clean Up The Ghetto " Detroit Edit . Last Call ,anyone got one please ? Thanks for Looking . John,Malaga,Espana.

Hi , Goldmine /Soulsupply Green Uk issue ,Please ! Thanks for Looking , Cheers ,John ,Malaga ,Spain.

Indeed he does not get it right every time ! In his latest auction ,he refers twice to the bside of Jesse Johnson,s " Left Out " being " 100 pounds of Pain" { A totally different tune by Lenny Welch on Mainstream. } What Professor Johnny really meant was " 100 Pounds of Clay" ! In tandem with our eyesight and sex drive memory fails with advancing years ! Still he is a Great read .

A " Sliced Tomatoes " feel to me, ready for A Rockafella Skank ,Fatboy Slim ,Norm ? Rather Tasty ,Brothers ! LOL John , Malaga,Spain.

Any chance of Detroit Edit ; AE7 1138. Thanks for your time , John Malaga,Spain.

Music for the "Hoi Polloi",er,,Fine what they call Northern Soul ! Suits me Sir ,Fine Show Deano ,LOL ,John ,Malaga,Spain.

Nearly 10 years since Vol 4. Compiler Paul Nixon presents again . Product looks great ,sadly the music content does not compare with previous volumes. Versions abound ; "I Gotta find a way {ToGet you Back}",There,s No love Left","Whisper You Love me Boy ","Determination ," "I Feel like I,m Falling in love Again " Jimmy Ruffin ,done better by Fantastic four and Dennis Edwards, "Iwant a Love i Can see",The underdogs,Garage at it,s poorest, "{ Come Round Here}"I,m the one you Need " Hearts Of Stone ,this on paper sounds interesting ,it is not,, all sound like Q.C . rejects.. The real Stinkers; Dalton Boys ,Little Lisa, Billy Eckstine, R Dean Taylor , "Only You" Eddie Holland { The Platters tune!} and "Windmills Of your Mind " {yes the Noel Harrison Hit } Final track of 43 ,by Chuck Jackson ! Of 3 insrumentals by The Funks , "Its All Over " is listenable but not mindblowing, a vocal less band track assigned to the Isleys. The standard of unreleased tracks on vol 1 to 4, set the bar so high, I bought this blind ! So dissapointing.

What A Simply Great Idea! What took you so long to come up with this" One Stop solution" ,for like minded people to peruse and compare prices and availablity on all current soul related product. Just ordered a Soul mag, very simple,,,shipping price was right,and easy invoice with correct secure Paypal option .{ No F and F} . Signed up for all future sales items ,notifications to my Inbox.

"Happening " Instrumental, Truly Magnificent ,not just a backing track , but a Real stand alone piece of Popcorn Wylie Detroit Magic . Great sound Quality, Roberto Moss and Hayley does it again with sheer class releases. Cheers John ,Malaga ,Spain.

Formations ,ditto at £200 Good price .Looking back to JM Uk price guide of 2004 John has it at £288 ? Surely his "Conduit " friend the One Thousand Dollar Man Lee ,would have such A Major Collectable on Rare Northern Soul . com at twice the Price ??

"Ghetto " ; Baltimore , Detroit and Chicago needed ,Can you Help ? Cheers for looking , Again ! John.

303 for sale on Discogs from 10 p on Avco or H an L. , Sugar Pie !

7inch version please . Thanks for Looking ,LOL John.

Hi Vadnochka, Dealt with Ytraxx on July 8th this year 2 Philly "City edits" total 62 euros, on Discogs . after a week came back with could not find St louis so would offer Boston or refund ? I said yes but asked for discount ,we agreed on he would pay shipping {between 4 to 8 ,forget which ?] Finally arrived after one month Discs fine . So gave good feedback ! But ,but I always need peoples real names eventually told me it was Ariel {Hebrew christian name} but no.more, think he asked for F anF but I went through discogs{ Fand F not recommended but condoned on here?}. I am a little suspicous of him ,60 odd discs on discogs with a handful of unrelated NS items. On the broader issue of Spanish sellers; the culture of Manana {Whenever } after 20years here is still hard to handle!! But the all Yorkies are mean etc ,etc,? Best of Luck .

Feliz Compleanos ,Sesenta Anos ,from Malaga ,Spain. After the Charm and Chat with Richard , the " MInsh " was Mr Grumpy, but what a DJ , Never a dud Disc ,.My personal fave " Man with The Golden Touch " A fitting tribute for your contribution to Northern Soul !! Cheers John .

Roburt ,you beat me to the Punch ! But also "Time" Tmg issued in the Republic Of Ireland ,Charles Brucato ,gets full writer credits,Perhaps a mixup over Charles Hatcher ? The later Uk reissue of "Time " tmg 1028 corrects the error and Starr/Wylie get the credit!

Wanted please ,price and condition : Baltimore 1137, Detroit 1138, S.t Louis 1139. Many Thanks for Your Time ,LOL ,John. please PM.

My Condolences to his Family Tony was a true gentlemen who brought pleasure through his music to thousands .His early sets at the Mecca where memorable, one of the best DJ,s Ever .

Hi Zanetti , Wise words Gracias ,,,,,, Just thinking no more posts from me , thanks to abuse from Dave and Pete ,Tony Smith etc . Carl White you are correct 3 dealers at £350 are all Uk , White Demo at £1400 is USA ,Donald ? I like " Yakety Sax " At Any Speed Ditto " Take A Letter Maria " Boots Randolph ,also very partial to a bit of Ray Cohen And Derek Smith. Where are the moderators when you need them ,personal taste etc, etc. LOL John . Malaga ,Spain.
