  1. You are exactly right, Simon. Im bemoaning the fact that there ought to be a place for those dreamy midtempo tunes that may be staple fare to a lot of us but perhaps deserved to be heard loud in the odd main room. ROD
  2. In a nutshell exactly what's wrong with NS!! On the odd occasion I play out I have no hesitation spinning this, and then maybe the Bootleggers and Helen Moore. As Mark said it's a fantastic Chicago double-sider by Burgess Gardner who can do no wrong in my book. ROD
  3. I have to agree with that. Soul City label for 2006. Here's another from Souldude https://cgi.ebay.com/NORTHERN-SOUL-DARRELL-...1QQcmdZViewItem ROD
  4. Pete,I don't think it is actually Gloria +T's. I did have the LP years ago and I m sure it's the "Im satisfied..." by B.J.Bland. And now I must away as Im DJ-ing tonight at Whalley and Billington Brass Band Club. If anyone fancies popping along I can guarantee it will be a fiasco but all the local djs are now dead or retired and my moment in the dark and freezing rain has arrived. Today the Brass Band club, tomorrow the er... Whippet Fancier's [not in a sexual way] Association premises. ROD
  5. Well the "Losing race" is Tyrone on Sack? Isn't "Do it" one side of Bobbie Jean Bland and thanks to Dave Flynn here's 6 tracks identified:- SACK 4359 Tyrone "Running a losing race"/ I tried it over" SACK 4360 Bobbie Jean Bland "Im satisfied just lovin' you"/"Do it" SACK 4361 Mamie Galore "No right to cry"/ "Do it right now" Im sure there's some other guys out there who have even less of a life than I do who will recognise some of the other tracks. ROD
  6. I now have the Whispers and the Creations. Thanks ROD
  7. John, maybe if you listed the tracks we may be able to make an educated guess re. artists. I assume if it is Tyrone,then maybe it's his Sack 45. ROD
  8. That's the LP with Mamie Galore "No right to cry" on it, isn't it? ROD

    FOR SALE Norma Jenkins WDJ Mintish Condition. OTT Offers only please What have I said? What? ROD Bit of a twee novelty record really don't you think, Ted.
  10. So far no one's got a bad word to say for the guy and IMO I think he's stumbled on something that I've thought about for years. If you're gonna re-issue or boot something then why not take the time and trouble to duplicate the original release or label. I guess it's down to cost but by way of example what if Adey instead of putting out Lorraine Chandler "You live only once" on the give-away Kent label had issued it as a WDJ on RCA. I know copyright etc but how much better would that look if pressed as a USA 45. He had the rights anyway.I wonder if it crossed his mind or have I got too much time on my hands. ROD
  11. I did notice that but it's not a 45 I particularly am interested in so I didn't know if by "re-issue" it referred to it coming out twice by Southbound Freeway and Tony Galla. I think that's right isn't it? So it's an actual bootleg/re-issue? There was a bidding war going on between an Irish guy and an Italian judging from bid history. ROD
  12. https://cgi.ebay.com/NORTHERN-SOUL-NOLAN-CH...1QQcmdZViewItem Apologies if this has already been referred to. I've noticed this seller on Ebay churning out this stuff on a regular basis and getting IMO very high bids. Has he hit on a sure-fire money spinner or is it somehow unethical. I note that his opening bid is $9.99 which at roughly £6 is around or perhaps even under the going rate for a current re-issue or UK release and he is not forcing anyone to pay over that. I can't help feeling "good luck to him" but it does raise serious questions about the mental capacity of some of his customers. ROD
  13. Rare indie soul from '81 in Mint. £120. Featuring modern track "Sweet tender loving" and 2-step "just for love" Ta ROD Also anyone interested in: Drifters EPIC DJ copy £100 5 Royales "Catch that teardrop" ABC £200 Both Mintish with full money back guarantee
  14. Anyone with a Mintish copy of "Go Now" please. Also "The Dip" Whispers on DORE, Larks "For the love of money" on AROCK and Creations "Just remember me" on GLOBE. Ta ROD
  15. It's a bidding war I think. Lunacy!! ROD
  16. I think the Rays[with Hal Miller] did the original on XYZ 102 and then picked up by Cameo and released Cameo117. Also was covered by Diamonds on Mercury and so I've read Steve Gibson & Redcaps on ABC. Herman's Hermits had a big hit with it in '65. Before being too impressed I just looked up details on internet!! ROD

    Off their LP on Brunswick I reckon "She'd never say it" or similar title. Not a 45 I don't think. Kinda bouncy early 70's. ROD
  18. "Well Simon, perhaps few right now would ever want to concede or contemplate this ... but possibly the future and cutting edge of rare soul appreciation may lie overseas, outside the UK ???" We are talking about the UK scene aren't we? So the fact that there's a night on in Melbourne really has no bearing on whether scene here is contracting again. I would like to know though what 45s they play overseas that we don't or haven't at some stage. I was coming home from Winsford the other night at 4am with hardly any traffic on the road and lights out in all the houses and I was thinking to myself that I'd left 200 people dancing away in some small market town in Cheshire. I think that can be considered "underground" still despite odd bit of Media coverage. ROD
  19. Quite agree,Simon. That Dean Anderson!! Most softly-spoken polite headbanger I've ever met. And Guy "Mephistopheles" Hennigan was a Machiveallian manipulator without equal.Forcing me to take the Groovettes and Larry Wright for some imagined favour I'd done him. Thoroughly nasty pieces of work,the pair of them!! ROD
  20. JT, if someone takes the trouble to sign up to Ebay and get Paypal access how on earth is anyone NOT going to see this 45. Fact that it's $2000+ is going to deter most buyers anyway. Having said that a mate of mine on this site wasn't aware that USA Ebay carried more soul 45s than UK Ebay. He runs his own successful company so not a surprise that he was somewhat slow on the uptake. A nice bloke despite being a capitalist oppressor of the working class. I hope I've not given anything away there but hey Im quite happy for other people to have same opportunities as me. ROD
  21. I'd agree with that with the proviso that it's the guides that have inflated the prices in the first place by assuming that all 45s have risen along with certain collectible titles. Unless JM and TB got their valuation off the top of their heads then whatever benchmark they originally used is no longer valid because it's now evident a lot esp. at cheaper end don't sell for that. I don't like the guides but Im sure John and Tim put a lot of work into compiling them so only conclusion to draw is that there is a downturn. ROD
  22. Just had a look at that,Adam. Curious!! ROD
  23. I think you'll find there's a few buyers in the past who haven't checked. ROD
  24. Pete,I meant if you're gonna rip some buyer off then why not Al Williams,Cairos, William Powell etc. ROD
  25. Seller seems to have good feedback and been on Ebay for a good while. Bit of a cheapish 45 to try to scam a buyer? ROD
