One of many memories which I will take all the way to the wooden box with me when the day comes, is dancing to this as last record at a Hinckley Leisure Centre all nighter in the small hall, with my eyes to the sky as the sunlight came in through the skylights! 😀 Wonderful! 👍 Cheers, Mark R

My show for Sunday 28 October folks. I'll be back on Sunday 11 November 12-2pm GMT 👍 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/starpointsoulboy/episodes/2018-10-29T06_18_19-07_00 Subscribe in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-music-box-with-mark-randle-on-starpoint-radio/id1437199939 Cheers, Mark R

More from the last Soul II Sole.......this time a great solid hour from guest DJ and all round nice guy, Barry Cooper! 👍 Cheers, Mark R

Hi Folks, We caught some of the October Soul II Sole LIVE!! so thought I'd share my contribution........ Next event is Saturday 1st December with guest DJ Andy Baskett alongside residents Steve Hodson & Mark Randle........Greene King Stadium, Hinckley, Leicestershire! 👍 Cheers, Mark R

In a nutshell, I just can't imagine not wanting to go forward rather than looking back all the time. We all have great and cherished memories and will always look fondly to the past but completely living in the past is sorta like succumbing to old age........and fuck that! Cheers, Mark R

And it's totally bizarre.........buying them to DJ rather than because you actually love/want the record.......paying a kings ransom for it and getting £50 for DJ'ing. How desperate can you be........ Cheers, Mark R

A fantastic post......opening mith my current favourite phrase.........eating itself. Cheers, Mark R

Picked it up at the weekend......it's a killer alright! 👍 Cheers, Mark R

My show for Sunday 14 October folks. Yes, I know I said it would be Sunday 7 October but things didn't go to plan! I'll be back on Sunday 28 October 12-2pm https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/starpointsoulboy/episodes/2018-10-15T06_33_00-07_00 Subscribe in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-music-box-with-mark-randle-on-starpoint-radio/id1437199939 Cheers, Mark R

Sunday 23 September show folks! I'll be back on Sunday 7 October 12-2pm 👍 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/starpointsoulboy/episodes/2018-09-23T08_37_33-07_00 Subscribe in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-music-box-with-mark-randle-on-starpoint-radio/id1437199939 Cheers, Mark R

Just a heads up that it's my turn in the hot-seat again today......12-2pm www.starpointradio.com. Available via DAB, Tune-In app (available on your Smartphone and Smart TV too!) and the good old fashioned interweb. Some soul with your Sunday roast! 👍 Cheers, Mark R

Guess I'll just happily have to remember it as the Detroit Shakers at Stafford! 👍 Cheers, Mark R

The Music Box Sunday 9th September folks, with the usual two listening options! 👍 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/starpointsoulboy/episodes/2018-09-10T04_58_47-07_00 Subscribe in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-music-box-with-mark-randle-on-starpoint-radio/id1437199939 Cheers, Mark R

Hi all, Just to let you know that my Starpoint Radio show "The Music Box" returns tomorrow and then every other Sunday. From retro styled new releases right through to the latest contemporary beats!! Hope some of you who have a penchant for the newer stuff can join me! 👍 Cheers, Mark R

I hadn't seen Dean in a while but was aware that he was ill. I have many happy memories relating to Dean, be it in the shop, on the phone to the shop or out and about at gigs. And as already mentioned his wit and writing ability. He was indeed a very clever man and a real character. A real sad loss to us all. Sincerest condolences to Susan and the rest of the family and close friends. RIP Dean, Mark & Lindsey Randle xx

I know of someone who got circa $350 for the 2nd Pages on eBay approx 5 years back and I believe he made the provenance of the record quite clear!! Cheers, Mark R

Lovely record! Cheers, Mark R

Sounding great Dave/John......another one to the collection! 👍 Cheers, Mark R

What a crock........I perfectly understand the OVO/rare scene and respect it, but it's no excuse for talking rubbish. Things are just different, doesn't make anyone (necessarily) any less of a DJ! Cheers, Mark R

Oh no, sad to hear this, knew Darren & Caroline from the Winsford days. My thoughts go out to Caroline and the family 😞 Mark Randle

Couple of things happened recently to make me dig around for this old recording which I've never shared before. Firstly, I heard that Mick O'Donnell's show on Solar had come to an end. This kinda coincided with a few posts on Facebook about events.....what gets played and in what room and all that stuff that in truth is often talked about. This is from 10 years back when Mark Merry, Steve Dolan and myself went to 209 radio in Cambridge to guest on Mick's Soul Discovery Show. Lot's of great music and some heavy debate about the "scene" which, having listened back to and in light of recent discussions on Facebook, I felt needed resurrecting and documenting. Make of it what you will........it's long but worth a listen when you have the time...... Mostly just us playing some (then) current faves for the first 1hr 45mins, after which the debate starts.......... Cheers, Mark R

We are at cross purposes here mate. I wasn't thinking back to the Palmetto St release. I was talking about the Ben Pardani release as that's what I thought you meant! So I was saying that there would be no difference in the two batches of Pardani on Juno.....May 14 release and today's re-stock. I'm sure there will be a difference between the original Right direction 45's and the new Pardani ones..... Cheers, Mark R

That's now back in too..... Cheers, Mark R

I have no idea! Coming in so soon after the first batch, does it matter? Surely they would be from the same stamper so there is actually no way of telling/seeing them as a 2nd press??? Cheers, Mark R
