  1. I've had tests over the last few years , the physical type but never had a PSA test , but on the way to work yesterday on BBC Hereford & Worcester , there was a feature berating the testing kits & saying that just like the Covid testing kits , the majority give a false reading , their words not mine. It will be on the BBC iplayer if anyone wants to hear it , yesterday's breakfast show , normally Tammi Gooding , but some Guy is covering her slot this week .
  2. I'm not sure , doesn't appear to be this one has 3 tracks , is yours the official release?
  3. Is it only available from the U.S. or is there any UK stockists ?
  4. What's the reaction to the B- side , Too Little Too Late , is it AI or a genuinely written & produced tune , It's definitely worth a listen & aimed at the dancefloor.
  5. Marvin Gaye , Little Darling .
  6. What a bloody awful week of sadness & loss RIP Angie Stone , sincere condolences to family, friends, & fans
  7. Hi Dave , Have Pmd
  8. This was a favourite of mine & still is , sold a copy to Adam Buchanan whilst he was actually DJing at The Nottingham Oddfellows Allnighter in Leicester on a 12" single , it was his next tune on wonderful.
  9. There was a guy based in the south , who sold via eBay , Folkestone rings a bell . Anyway considering how he made them by hand they where , a thing of beauty. 3 pieces of very thin craft style card , cut by hand using a template I would guess , then very meticulously glued together, two tone record sleeves in most colours , & not that expensive either . He sold them by the dozen too , & they will fit an inner sleeve & record easily. I used them to identify a certain artist in my filing system . Here's some in action .
  10. Had the pleasure of seeing her sing it live , no not on the Northern Soul scene , darn sarf as they say , when she was touring & promoting it , didn't need much promoting, sheer class RIP Gwen
  11. Ever since the SCENE , Northern Soul that is , there have been an abundance of records from all music genres , mixed into a soup that is classified as Northern Soul , not every record or Artist is to everyone's taste , not every record is Soul , but after nearly 56 yrs ? it will never satisfy everyone, no matter how good or great a tune is , we're always striving to find the best , undiscovered, rareity , B side , unreleased, lost in a vault , never finished or whatever, it has got worse over the years , but if we all liked the same we wouldn't keep searching for the illusive, but for a b- side as is usually the case it hits the spot , good luck with the auction
  12. Today's Guardian has a feature on the passing of Jerry . Jerry Butler, soul hitmaker and Illinois politician, dies aged 85 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/feb/21/jerry-butler-iceman-soul-singer-illinois-politician-dies-aged-85?CMP=share_btn_url
  13. Not wanting to gate crash but on the site that you've posted it also says that Henry Farnborough the last surviving original member of The ( Detroit ) Spinners also passed away on Wednesday, also aged 85 . RIP Henry . As everyone as said before me , Rip Jerry " The Ice man " Butler not just a great singer but a very helpful politician too .
  14. More Louise Lewis , Wee Oo I'll Let It Be You Babe , good gear , right time , full floor , nuff said .
  15. Thanks for the info , I bought some of these last year , couldn't remember for the life of me where & who , just ordered 2 packs 1/2 price or less , I know like most UK cardboard sleeves are definitely getting smaller , but these do fit just gotta be careful when putting them back in the cardboard sleeve , after all the vinyl is precious.
  16. Thanks DLP , for the response, I often wonder why anyone uploads to say YouTube, & put up footage from years past without the true musical backing , especially when there's a live act obviously playing in the background, still great footage , I'm amazed that nobody has yet come forward and recognised their Mum or Grannie . ( Mods move to the topic 1960s UK Mod / Soul Clubs if in the wrong topic )
  17. Hi DLP welcome to Soul Source , hope you enjoy the ride. I have a question that you maybe able to answer , after I watched The Plebians ( Plebs) in Halifax in 67 posted by Rick last night , it was quite clear that the band that was playing was Root & Jenny Jackson not The Impressions . I have never heard of any of their tunes played out anywhere and can't find anything of theirs on vinyl pre 68. So my question is do you have any idea which ( as they where live on stage ) song Root & Jenny Jackson where singing at the time ?
  18. Unless someone connected to the the clear out company realised what they where clearing out was historical , it's a possibility
  19. The brilliant comedy series new to Sky Max , previously shown on HBO , " Hacks " about a female stand up comedian based in Las Vegas , Series 1, episode 1 a few bars & then in episode 2 , a much longer portion of I'm sure , Popcorn Wylie " Going To A Happening" , long way from Detroit but great to hear . Had a few days off this week , not feeling great , so binge watching & feet up , very funny so far .
  20. Don't want to sound like a smart arse , but your writing in English is perfect and a lot better than quite a few on here , including myself , have not seen any of your posts edited. I have friends who will only stay in contact via writing a letter, in the old fashioned way , no internet or telephone calls , in 2025 there is still a very good postal service . So why not give it a go , record delivery, 48 hrs etc , nothing to lose & keep a copy of the letter complete with all references etc . With today's method of contacting everyone expects an instant response , I have pre- ordered and had to wait on occasion up to 12 weeks , albeit not for thousands of pounds worth of records , I can understand you're concerns , but your winding yourself up and if you feel you can't give John a ring , I'd be surprised if someone working with John couldn't understand you , otherwise try a letter .
  21. Not good , did the marker pen come off ? Shiny label or matt ? How long was the dry marker pen left on , I don't allow it to dry , remove whilst still wet . The last one I did was a UK Action copy of Bobby Williams, reduced in price substantially due to black marker pen , looks like a completely different copy now ,and no label damage or loss of colour .
  22. To be honest Peter , lots of record dealers both on here and Ebay have reduced their prices not all 50% , but maybe 20 to 25% , so although I didn't order anything from John , I know I've saved a few pounds and am more than happy , there has definitely been a downturn in prices this month . Had an email this morning from a well known seller , that has slashed some of his sales ( albeit new releases from the last couple of years ) to as little as £3.
  23. Wasn't there a silly rumour at the time , that the Pier actually sunk deeper into the sand during each Allnighter , due to the rather energetic dancing
  24. Having listened to Timmy's selections , and his mixed & eclectic choices of tunes he liked , soulful deep & meaningful , I'd like to share my last 3 plays dedicated to the memory of Timmy , I ended tonights session with . Otis Leavill, I love You , Atlantic UK , The Dramatics , I Cried All The Way Home , ABC UK Freddie Scott , Where Doe's Love Go , Coolpix , I hope he would approve
