I love her voice - just really great Jamaican Soul The fact that there is not really a Jamaican soul scene if you will, and the amount of people who are enthusiastic enough to post comments on u tube is really great to see. But this is just one example - there are hundreds of thousands of people appreciating things and making comments. My point is in the future when we are all long gone - there will be still be people discovering this great music via the internet. The legacy and history of the northern soul scene will always be there for people to watch - the old documentaries, discovering and listening to old music. Its already there online. I guess I'm just happy it is there - and there are clearly millions of people still finding the music and appreciating it.

I have posted this in freebasing as it not s northern soul tune. BUT - look at the comments on the u tube post. AMAZING ! Really ACE to see how soul music is still making patterns after all this time There are pages and pages of comments from everywhere all over the world enthusing about the Phyllis version of perfidia and what it means to them. Check out the comments from the people who know the tune as part of their life history and the music fans who have just discovered the record. When I read the conversations on soul source - with everyone concerned about the age of everyone and who is going to care about what everyone did and what are our families going to do with all our records. Stop for a min music will find a way out. Yes the internet I also imagine it will be also shared in ways we have not even imagined yet Phyllis didn't make a lot of records and she was from Jamaica - not Detroit or Chicago Yet 50 years later there is a serious conversation online today about how lovely her records were / are So the quality of her output and not her fame at the time it seems will ensure her place in the future And so it should

This is a great double sided overlooked Chicago tune on the fantastic Midas label The flip side is also really nice

Another good cheap Bobby Jones record

Everyone should have a copy of this soulful banger, great dancer

I love this, never understood why it’s so cheap , great record

The term under played and overlooked springs to mind Cleveland Robinson

I have no problem with most aspects of a records label , initials of previous owners , artist signature, radio station stamps etc. have lots of Jamaican 45s where the artists and title are scratched out completely it’s just patina on a records journey If you are collecting records that must be mint obviously you may not accept these types of marks If you are willing to accept writing on label etc then you will always expect the grade to be lowered , regardless I think the difference with northern soul artists is most of them are really not that famous in the big scheme of things So you don’t have the fanatical autograph hunting that takes place within the likes of football and famous movie stars and music legends I remember my son paid 500 quid for a framed signed Mason Mount Chelsea football shirt with providence - a few weeks before he left for Man City I might add😂 But we love our in the main obscure hero’s so to have a signatures by an artist that you have such a connection to their records is really nice, especially as most of them are gone now. I have a signature from Ray Pollard from the 100 club, to Gaz with love Ray pollard. When I see it it reminds me of the night, the emotion, it’s a lovely moment captured with his signature So if I have a Bob Marley signature on a record or a Beatles record signed by the band I think with providence that would generate interest and increase the value. I believe there are price guides covering these type of items As we are collecting obscure records by obscure artists I don’t really think signed copy’s are going to increase the value , in fact it would have to lower the grade to WOL That’s my ten pence worth 👍

Just noticed the u tube post is both sides Coming back to you is the side for me I need love - nice doo wop soulful tune , but must admit I had never flipped my 45 over , never heard it before 😂😂😂

I have these two 45s by Willie Jones The metro 45 is a mental rocking rnb thing that had plays on the European Mod scene The storm 45 is obviously the u tube post Jazzy mod rnb of the highest order imo Just a great rnb finger snapper

That’s bloody brilliant 😂 I have tried everything on my phone Thanks

I still can’t enlarged this My I phone 12 must be too old or something I have never seen a red styrene issue of jimmy ricks btw Stock Issues on the vinyl coloured variant of course , but nope, never seen a red styrene issue

I can’t get the enlarged image either Using I phone

I always loved this soulful garage stomper Great vocal and ridiculous Hammond Not an easy record to find Dunno it it has ever been played on soul scene , it will of on the Mod scene I image

Soulful stomping garage at its best Really hard to find imho I know it’s had plays here and there but Should be massive It’s brilliant
