Modernsoulsucks

I don't know you either,Mike, but I think you should be extremely proud and congragulated for what you've achieved with Soul Source. I would say that the site is indispensable and for me it's the 2006 equivalent of Dave Godin's old column but far more informative and influential. I've no idea of the workings of the internal computing engine but if your withdrawal meant that we would lose this site, then it would be akin to the Casino,Mecca,Stafford,100 Club etc all shutting their doors on the same day. I've corresponded with some really nice genuine people and some modern fans on here and would really like to continue doing so. Im sure your efforts on our behalf are very time consuming and maybe you could be doing something else such as a spot of DIY, taking the wife shopping or the kids to see the Arctic Monkeys!! I hope you reconsider. ROD

My wife watched it and she thought it was hilarious. Was it a comedy? Apart from the DJ character, I wasn't sure what it was about or trying to get across. ROD

There's a couple of guys still to send for reserved 45s Im holding from list I recently posted. But shit happens and no sweat if they don't honour their orders. However Im not a full-time dealer who relies on the money to spoil their little angels rotten like Pete. People who order from full-time dealers need to remember that. Not exactly a new phenomena. I was full-time from 88-2000. A lot of guys overstretch themselves cos of this silly obssession we all have. So name and shame. Not really. Bit more individual responsibility and integrity needed. ROD

Thanks Dave and Adam. I lost!! ROD

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...mp;rd=1&ssp Somebody quick. Is this an original. Ta ROD

If there's anyone out there thinking of buying any of these 45s I just got a couple from Rich and they really are "stunning"+++. Looks like never seen a needle. If you're particular about condition these are the ultimate Mint copies and well worth getting. I am really chuffed with mine. ROD

Hi Dave, I did notice it after I put my ad on here. Couldn't find any copies of "The Dip" on Ebay and last couple I've seen were bad condition. Don't really know about Dore and Soul Clock versions. Heard Dore version on CD and liked it. Last day at work tomorrow and then redundant. As long as I get another job soonish I should be able to buy a couple of tunes with the payout. ROD

Looking for following by Whispers, all on Dore Records Needle in a haystack You got a man on your hands The Dip Must be Mintish condition please. Thanks ROD

I hope you won't mind me bumping this list up as I've hardly sold any and not eaten since 7th August!! ROD

Ted/Mark there is a small indecipherable stamp about an inch in front of S-002B and kinda diagonally opposite there's either a stamp or maybe scratched in something else it's impossible to make out without a microscope. Compared to the blue boot that's been posted the colour is darker and writing much sharper and defined. ROD

Are you sure you're right about this info. My copy which I got in person from USA in lot where there wasn't a boot in sight has HITCH 'N' POST JODAX [bMI] TIME 2:35 Kinda darkish blue and very sharp writing. Checking Manship and Popsike the pictures of the originals appear the same as mine.

I don't get this at all. Soul Sam plays Del-Larks at Middleton and he gets a thread to himself whilst if Joe Bloggs plays a boot or re-issue of same thing he's in for a slating. Fact is I like Del-larks,would like an original but surely there's some other 45 just as worthy of playing that I've not heard a thousand times!! For instance Lee Jennings on Star-track. No,I've not got that either so not trying to hype it but it's just a decent record that IMO you don't get to hear. Im sure everybody on here can come up with something similar. I think Greg hit it on the head earlier that there are too many djs playing same old originals, be they reactivated oldies or 20 year old newies, just because big name jocks have them and they don't appear to have an innovative approach at all,merely content to slavishly follow whatever is in fashion. I've heard guys play sets comprising "big" records from various Northern genres and just bung 'em altogether and you can tell they don't have a clue. So I think you can do what you want and it's fine and not a boot v. original situation but IMO more to do with widening a pretty stagnant attitude to listening and playing records. ROD

Bit of a long shot but has anyone got the sleeve to Friends&Co LP. I have the vinyl but would like the cover so I can sell it to be honest. Unless anyone wants the vinyl for £10. Mintish. Ta ROD

All 45s are US originals unless stated. All are in at least Ex nick,meaning no scratches and no immediately visible scuffs. Like store stock unless stated otherwise.Those at VG+ will have some small scuffs but still a good copy Full refund if not happy. PM me if interested.

Hey Matt Im trying to sell some 45s here. What do you think this is. Bloody Friends Reunited!! ROD

Yes Boff. PM me for payment details if you want it. Ta ROD

I think it's worth repeating here that if you have the 45 it's worth far less than you thought. If you don't have it then it's worth far more than you thought. ROD

All Mintish. That is at least EX and above with no scratches of scuffs that are readily visible. Unplayed store stock. Money back if not happy. PM me if interested.

Ivor, Im after that too. Took me a long time to find "Hope we have" on YDJ as I usually saw DJs with B. Acklin on other side, so there's at least one example of two DJ issues of "Im gonna miss you". I have "I lost you" on single-sided DJ so if there are double-sided copies out there then that's two examples. I would guess it exists in both formats. ROD

Well Dave,that is a demonstrative pronoun or adjective drawing attention to the person or thing either observed by the speaker at the time or understood,already named or in question. Now that's cleared that up, I agree Courcy according to Tim's guide is about £150 over whilst Brooks Bros is £148 under. With reference to another thread /index.php?showtopic=30460 How come the 45 you have is always worth less, and the 45 you haven't got is worth more than you thought. ROD

Well It would be the second known copy if you completely ignore my post!!! If you read it I'd guess it's at least the sixth and probably more. No axe to grind against John but his "astonishing" Luther Ingram issue also appears identical to the copy in my box, although mine is only VG++ I'd say. Vinyl demo with Detroit address and Atco distributed. I have no idea whatsoever what 45s are in collectors' boxes because every Northern 45 has not passed through my hands, although a lot have. I would think that John would agree with that as regards himself. ROD

This is going off topic somewhat but this feigned familiarity with Northern that some of the US sellers adopt is laughable. I noticed one guy who not only quotes the ubiquitous Guide but has started to refer to djs supposedly playing the track, usually Richard Searling!! Needless to say the records involved are invariably overpriced rubbish. ROD

I really only go for mintish 45s but I did weaken last week and won Quintessents "Image of a man" on Ebay for £126. I had it sent to a mate in US to save on shipping and he says it's rough but plays fine. As it was VG clean Im hoping it's not that rough and my mate is a condition freak so Im still hopeful it's not too bad. I'd really only seen a couple of copies over the years so I figured get it now or wait forever for a minter. So I guess I would now buy lesser condition copies but it would have to be something really hard to get. ROD

Dan,to be fair to the guy who shelled out, he was pissed but I think his drink had been laced. 1954!!!!!! Im gonna have to lie down. ROD
