  1. Jerms - I'm A Teardrop
  2. I've got one when I found a copy of The O'Jays - Peace
  3. I'll concede on the LA session, for some reason I always though it was a Memphis recording. But Ducks name is on the back cover as playing bass.
  4. I'd call him a soul artist, but I've also heard people call him a folk singer, so it's down to personal interpretation and the original poster feels he isn't soul. Saying that, you could say that about a lot of black Singer-Songwriters such as Nolan Porter, Terry Callier, Richie Havens or Joan Armatrading. It was recorded in Memphis, produced and arranged by Booker T Jones (for his own production company). It was engineered by Terry Manning who worked for Stax and Ardent. Duck Dunn was on Base and Al Jackson was on drums. There's a lot of Stax in there for a non-Stax record. Not too sure where the bollocks part comes in, though?
  5. It is if you consider Bill Withers a soul artist. Apart from Withers writing it and it being on Sussex, its a Stax record.
  6. Is Mr Rounce too humble to use this thread to blatently plug this, shame there's some cracking covers on this.

    It is

  9. This topic does get revived every few months and the same names get put up every time. Wouldn't it just be easier to look for the old topics and just give them a bump.

    The closest they're going to be to me this year is in Folkestone or Southend but that's in November. For me you need to see Slade in December to get full value for money.
  11. I suppose that's okay if you have sufficient cashflow and can live with the "dead stock" remaining on your shelves for a while. I think record buying punters have become very fickle in their purchases these days, without going into the whole debate of chasing in-demanders. Records like all commodities fluctuate on supply and demand, records are a luxury commodity and its the demand for luxury products that tend to be hit the hardest in recessions. There are a significant amount LP's either continuingly left unsold on Gemm/Discogs or re-listed on ebay as the buying public deem them to be too expensive or maybe there really isn't the demand for these records that there once was. If the sellers don't need the cashflow and can wait till the prices rise again, good luck to them as I wish no ill on anyone, but personally I think it'll be quite a wait.
  12. Kaleidoscope on TSOP for a bit of disco. The John Edwards Cottillion LP is brilliant and over shadowed by his Aware LP, because it's a masterpiece
  13. David Oliver gives it some on Private Tonight and not forgetting the Great Rance Allen
  14. He goes quite high on "It's So Wonderful" but not really falsetto
  15. I think you should be ashamed that a man of your age, you don't have them already.
  16. It doesn't have the Texan style rhythm section that's required for high prices these days. I remember the marketing, honest though it was, the skipping comment killed it for me.
  17. Has anyone mentioned Pep Brown - Can You Handle It. A nice bit of Muscle Shoals funky soul and cheap too.
  18. Falsetto Northern, the next avenue to venture down after Funky Northern has run its course?
  19. Is that so you can look at both sides simultaneously?
  20. And some of those Deep Funk oldies when newies, were Rare Groove oldies..........
  21. Nev, there are a significant amount that have deep sides. Willie Johnson is a good example of an artist and not to ignite more fires Charlene and the soul Serenaders. As I collect deeps soul I've found a lot o prices have shot up when the flip is now sort after by the Funky Northern crowd. There are a significant amount of releases on Cat, Alston, Stax/Volt, Hi, Goldwax, just to name a few that have a funky side and a ballad/deep side. They were aiming for more than one market and hoped to sell as many records as possible looking for that ellusive hit.
