John Reed

Got a single from France a couple of years ago, sent in a normal thickness paper envelope with a bit of carboard stuck to one side of the record. Came through undamaged. Moerer's other source of income must be from his packaging company.....

Blimey, its gone down £50 since the 5th Edition of the price guide. https://www.raresoulm...D._the_ARKETTES

The problem with price guides is that they're written by people with a vested interest in keeping prices high. Like it or not ebay sellers and buyers (but not all) do use them as benchmark valuations. So if someone gets a record below the book price they may view that they've got a bargain. Prices in these guides always seem to only go one way and I'd be interested to see the price changes in the next one's, seeing as were in one of the biggest recessions in living memory and in reality apart from seriously rare & super in-demand records the bottom has fallen out of the selling market. At the end of the day record buying is a luxury.

Nope wasnt me, as you all know I've never been one to complain

Me too, mine was gold, it looked the business in an 80's sort of way.

Delaney & Bonnie never really floated my boat, maybe I should give them a revisit.

Don't go there......... it'll all end in tears.

a great bit of country soul

I thought the Outta Sight stuff was legit.

What about Delaney and Bonnie, Sean Morton Downey Jr & Glenn Yarbrough? Curtom also went a bit off course with the Patti Miller and Ruby Jones LP's.

Shame on you Steve, you've fallen off of the pedestal I've put you on. Its Orange Sunshine

I'm not trying to be funny, but if you currently have a Northern Soul show, shouldn't you already know quite a few?

Slightly off topic, and mentioning the Charmels, where does this demo fit in?

Is that the going rate and the 7" ???

Surely this a subjective view with no right or wrong answer and biggest doesn't always mean best. Someone who likes Sweet Soul will say someone with a Sweet leaning is the best same with Northern, Deep, Funk or any other genre. Personally I think mine is the best because its mine.

According to John Ridley's site the UA release is a difference artist. John might be able to help you. https://www.sirshambling.com/artists_2012/L/lois_lane/index.php

I don't think you ever get your head around the whole thing. The amount of black music made, even from just the 60's/70's was vast and I'm sure everyone would agree that no-one can/would know everything and if anyone did know them all, how boring would it be knowing there was nothing new to discover. Why would you want to collect all R&B releases as IMO for every good record, two bad or average were released. Unless you're a label completest,just buy what you like don't worry about the size of your collection compared to others and enjoy being in the musical dark, as for me its the best way to be.

Don't know what you mean...... THE SWAP IS NOW CLOSED Thankyou to all who've put their names in the hat, should be an interesting one.

One more place left. So if you want to hear Rogers Willam's selection of R&B growlers, Dave Tuners fave Hip-Hop flava's or my selection of James Last's Peruvian Pan Pipe classics, send me a pm

Two spaces left, go on give it a go.

3 spaces left, filling up nicely

There are now 20 participants, so 5 spaces left and it will be closed at midnight on Friday. So if you fancy showing off your creative skills by making a better CD cover than John Lloyd (he's hard to beat, by the way) or make a worse one than me, give it a go. Think of it when the CD's pop through the door and your partner says: "Another tune, how much did you pay for that one?" You can say: "No, it's free. It's a CD from the latest swap on Soul Source" A happy partner and more tunes to add to your wants list...........

I am, sorry for any confusion caused.

I thought we'd finally put the last nail in that coffin. Also the re-press has a significant dip towards the dink, which the original doesnt have.

Think that came from me as there are three different formats that I know. Frank Hutson (White), Frank Hutson (Orange) and Frank Hutton (White)
