Just checked the finishing prices on JM's site - but not showing the final price? Fair play if John wants to keep winning bids under wraps - but as we are all nosey..... Anyone else? Rich

True Shane - The term mod / modernist I always assumed was from listening to and the scene modern jazz - The book ' Absolute Beginners - later a film with Bowie / Ray Davies - described this scene. The seminal ( in my view - it was my bible in my teens ) - book - MODS - Cant remember the author would also support your points. I always thought northern soul was born out of the fact that the north carried on the real /underground black music scene after mod died off in the late 60s.. But as ever I maystand to be corrected!

On the off chance - a mate was telling me that Beatin Rhythm in Manchester were doing soul packs last year ??? Not even sure anyone does soul packs anymore do they? Might be worth a shout if your looking for a bit of bulk , so to speak. ATB Rich

Paradoxically, Clarence Reid is a staunch, bible-toting Christian, who is quick to call out hypocritical Christians who chastise him for his ways. "Those muthafuckas should all sit on a giant butt plug," he says. "Most of them don't truly understand what the Bible is saying, and some haven't even read the Bible to begin with. I make an example of those muthafuckas every time they try to approach me with that bullshit." Pasted from the link Marc posted. Would love to hear a sermon! Gareth - Possible on details of the track you mentioned - doesn't spring to mind - Will have to check when home. Should have a discography somewhere.... ATB Rich

As I said - was guessing - Seen issues at a ton - thought demos would be far rarer . ATB Rich

Listening to the George Jackson crew 's set on www.soulcast.co.uk - 3rd track in - Clarence Reid's ' Winter Man ' - flip of Funky Party (Alston ) - Love the track - & have quite a bit of the man's output on Minaret / Alston / Like his stable mate at Alston - Betty Wright - think he's a little under valued as an artist IMO. Anyone else a fan ? ATB Rich

Aye! Bloody hell! Junior Wells - loved that record! - memories memories. Some more.. Ray Barretto - Soul Drummer Maximillian - The Snake Sonny Stitt - Double O Soul Johnny * King Casuals - Soul poppin Young Holt Trio - Wack Wack Rufus thomas - Jump Back jimmy Witherspoon - Moneys Gettin Cheaper Kim Melvin - Do The Popcorn Used to buy loads of this stuff from PJ Ludlam from Oldham for daft money like 20p / 40p / 60p - Still knocking out lists now I think after what must be 20 years! Might have to send for one for old times sake Still got a Dom Bassett tape somewhere giving away a copy of Creatio - Makin Time if you guessed the next track - Which was BTW My generation by The Moody Blues - cool mod jazz workout! ATB Rich

Ah I see now - Rich

- Certainly does - Fantastic record - Old Butch cover up wasn't it? Rich Domar I think found a pile . Went down to as low as £20 - Paid £40 for mine - One that may well nestle in collections . ATB Rich

Being a mid / late 80s mod - seem to recall lots of boogaloo / hammond / jazz / R&B mainly - Recall Dj Dom ( Where is he now ? ) spinning Creation - Makin Time a lot A few Fave sounds from that era - Washington Smith - Fat Cat Freddie Hubbard - Return Of The Prodigal Son Monguito Santa Maria - Hey Sister Googie Rene - Smokey Joes Four Gents - Soul Sister Mr Dynamite - Sh'mon Kinda summed it up for me - ATB Rich

Off the pace here a bit but was that connected to the Four Vandals ' 45 ' malarky ? Apologies if this dregdes up past posts / arguments. Rich

Seen a few go through ebay for £75 . ( Think they were issues tho thinking back ) ATB Rich

Cheers Simon - And wrong I was !! never seen a 45 personally . ATB Rich

Ronn Matlock LP seen at £30-£40 Am I right that ' You Got...' is an LP only track? Thought there was a twelve but I could be wrong. Great track - Love it. ATB Rich

Very nice record good 2 sides Sold a couple of copies to the funk boys for the ' Sittin side - and got a nice price for em too! ATB Rich

It may well have been Mark - time has eroded the memory somewhat! Do recall it not been a great version - but one I've not seen often personally. Cheers Rich

Great track - lovely feel good soul - first heard it on Rich Searlings show last year - picked up one cheap last year - shouldn't think it will break the bank still tho. Rich

Charles Mintz version - mimimum bid £1000 - Anglo - Rarest version in TB's opinion. We could go on forever about how much was paid / is worth now - Whats gone is gone - Couldnt bear looking at old record lists now .... Just wish I'd bought a copy of Delegates when it was £40 ( tho I couldnt coz my paper round didnt pay that much! !!!! But I did get a Big Daddy Rogers for a fiver. . ATB Rich

Label credits Pauline (J????) Pharr ?????? Maybe an unscrupulous relative ?? Rich

Very true Mark - Used to buy quite a lot of new stuff until a few years ago - and can still be picked up quite cheap if you look hard enough . Found a few copies of The Affair 12's - Are you Ready & If Only You Could Be Mine couple of months back - 50p a pop - all went at £5 - £10 into Europe / Couple to Japan! Still see the old brit soul stuff cheap all the time. Maybe you can give us all some recommendations? ATB Rich
