Record Hunting In Houston Texas
AH WONDERFUL THANKS MATE!! BAZ A Try and get to see Skipper Lee Frazier, Baz (if he's still alive). https://skipperlee.com/ He was a major promoter and DJ in Houston, and has lots of stories to tell (and a book about Archie Bell and the Drells to flog). He runs (or ran - I was there five years ago) a funeral parlour. Nice old geezer, bit suspicious at first but he let me attend a gospel funeral, which was a real experience, and then drove me to his house in his big SUV. The only problem with that was he lives/lived in a very poor neighbourhood, he only drove at about 10mph and he kept falling asleep at traffic lights; I got a bit nervous at the attention we were attracting. He sold me quite a lot of stuff out of the attic above his garage, inc quite a few things I had never seen or heard before, and there was a lot left. He also pointed me in the direction of a white record dealer who had two rooms full of stuff; again, I bought some bits but only got there on the day my flight left so I didn't have time to go through. I did all the record stores and obvious places and found nothing at all; I did a few yard sales and swap meets and stuff and got a few things on Sure Shot, Ovide (Skipper's ;abel, named after his son) and other locals, but nothing spectacular. Best of luck!

Record Hunting In Houston Texas
ah thanks for that mate!! BAZ A I was in Houston a few years back and found a second hand record shop on the way to the Galleria. It also doubled up as a tatto parlour next door. I had a word with the guy in the shop who told me he wasn't the owner , but the guy who was had a garage full of records. I will look around to see if i can find you the adress somewhere and will get back tp you. I bought quite a few by O V Wright there.

You Tube Digging
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

You Tube Digging
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.
