THINK THATS A GREAT endorsment of REFO-SOUL 9/10 aint bad -think as soon as most get the hang of usb then we are gonna have a massive site of soul music for everyone -its great when new people hit the threads and start posting as everyone has such different taste -i learn all sorts every week -and long may it continue!! BAZ A Gareth X is right also you tube is brill for knowledge of the musics context often really surprises me -bit more resonant when the creators of the music are involved instead of the djs !! I always go straight to refo soul if there is somthing I spot on e bay that looks intresting and I don't know it. And 9 times out of ten is is here. then I search the old sales forums on here for an idea of on price - quick look on popsike and the main dealers. Then I return to e bay for the chase. I am sure this would be standard practice for on line diggers and members on here when it comes to stuff that you dont know ? refo must be the largest database of Soul related music on the internet. Refo is a credit to the admin team and the members of this site who have taken the time to post the thousands of recordings. All Baz Atkinsons massive threads - Pete Smiths jamaican section etc etc. etc If you are into your Music you can spend hours n hours on here. As for ripping things / downloading things you can always put a little gap in the tune if you want to make it difficult for the bootleggers. Anything that goes through your computers soundcard or video card can be ripped - the softwares out there and there aint nothing anyone can do about it ! Best M

chalkys right re ref-soul it is an immense library of incredible stuff -particulary seventies were up to 163 pages of stuff on the crossover thread and every week-there keep coming thick and fast -brilliant -Ian is right ive stumbled on all sorts on obscure sites and you tube is awesome particulary for funk the last 5 tracks i posted on the funk thread were straight of you tube!! The romantacism with finding rare stuff etc -went along time ago for me it simply rarely happens these days mainly because of the longevity of the british soul scene however theres thoushands upon thoushands of interesting records to be had and you can latch on to stuff from all places online etc-going to us record fairs etc keeps the fire burnning for me but thats for the social reasons etc. Hunting records and going out are now 2 different things imho [never used to be]but certainly is now -plus the ownership issue with djs ie "i discovered that" YEAH RIGHT -what aload of kack bet your bottom doller with the exception of a few that a tune has found a place before it becomes big etc-trends and fads still dominate a soul scene in the uk ?? how many collectors etc are sitting on the stuff for numerous years before a dj makes it popular NUFF SAID -right back online to find some interesting stuff !!lol. BAZ A

LAST 1 FROM ME WHEN I REALLY NEED THE BOOST ITS ALWAYS THIS ON MY KNACKED UP JAYBOY COPY I GOT AT THE CASINO-This was spun out bout 4 years ago at the Burnly nighter and i looked round sat next to Guy H he SAID "THIS RECORD IS INCREDIBLE"the instrumental really takes me places the strings are bloody mindblowing imho!! BAZ A

THERE YOU GO FOLKS to me this is mindblowing !!never fails -just hits the spot!! BAZ A THE DRUM ROLLS BLOW MY MIND EVERY TIME -- THE VOCALS INCREDIBLE CANT REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS COVERED UP AS ORIGINALLY WAS IT THE UNITED 4?? F--KING INCREDIBLE FOLKS LISTEN TO THE HARMONIES AND PIANO!!

listen to all sorts at home lots of sweet and deep in particular but the one record that gets me right back to it is this one -butchs x volcanos cover up-the intro and piano and vocals just blow me away this along with the Barons of soul will always personify northern soul to me !! BAZ A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL_AeLmRpmU

get it up if yu get time Sebastian love wild honey -interesting outfit!! BAZ A

some good points from Keith-i sell for fun to fund trips to the usa so can say "your taking the piss if i feel like it"lost counts how many times :ohmy:I have but also done some great deals on here -the climate is hard but also we are in total vinyl overload so with that should bring tremendous value ???? [in theory anyhow] BAZ A

NEVER HAD ANY PROBS RE PRICES I JUST SIMPLY SAY NO IF not happy -one thing for sure theirs always a good bit of activity on here for buying and selling and bargains to be had if you look hard enough-theres some items massively inflated and others worth picking up at reasonable prices imo,all goes with the turf ie record collecting and haggling well again why not ? The price quide has ofcourse thrown the selling side of things wide open and alot of the time sellers do quote the book thinking this or that is a bargain but just like when you are out and about the green always talks in the end!! BAZ A.

Do agree with Rich on that id strongly recommend most of the singles on stang if not all of them and all can be picked up reasonably cheap-check out the mark green singles on stang also - sweet soul at its very very best imo!!! BAZ A.
