why? it's an interesting subject some are just a bit brusque, probably from Yorkshire 🙂

Jimmy Mack has shot up !

unbelievable, I mean it looks exactly like the RE versions for sale on discogs for £12 and not like the original, just a basic check needed

Your last four lines have hit the nail on the head,soul16,life's to short let's enjoy it while we can,now where was I,oh yes,playing my boots,(just kidding soulies,lol)

Richard Searling's latest radio show is more or less dedicated to this, records he believes are currently under the radar but might go big in next year or so, I posted a few YT clips of some of them on the audio list section good call on the Curtis Smith - Livin End, cracker

I agree with you,we also support local venues,and also travel,i also agree,with the vinyl only policy,but poeple want a night out,without the politics involved,and as for chalky yes there are plenty of originals out there cheap,but they are the ones weve had in our box for years or nobody wants and plays,turley richards,the ballads,the enchanters,etc are the tunes the collectors want stupid money for,so the cheap way is a carver,issue etc,not very nice to someone whos just paid top dollar,then sees an issue for nowt,my wife bought me jackie wilsons it only happens £185 only to find carvers and issues for under a tena,shit happens,sellers have been doin it for years,some greedy,some genuine,its all down to one thing,MONEY

originals of what? what are these rip off sounds? if top 500 stuff loads have been legit re-issued

Thats my point,who can afford originals,and why buy an original we can afford,if its not what we want,and yes i do care,but vinyl prices have gone to the stupidness,so who's to blame, certainly not people like me or my soulie mates,who are not prepared to be stitched up,anyway where we come from the venues play handbag and cheapies,it works,and at the end of the day,the paying punter has had a good night,regardless

Don't think we are that stupid,we know what we buy,and have been doin it for years,and the reason is,you have record collector,/sellers,who ask for your mortgage,for a piece of 7inch vinyl,I am all for original I collect it for myself,at a price I can afford,with out being ripped of by these sellers who just pull a price out of thin air,then wait for a mug to buy it,so it's a bit of both in my book,so if you can't afford an original,you get what you can afford,a boot,or issue,pressing etc, which is probably sold by the same collector who is selling an original,and as long as it puts people on the floor,to some they don't care less if it's tape,cd,boot, issue,pressing, original,as long as they are having a good time,they who cares,only the guys who want top dollar,for there rareties,

back from Feb 2019, interesting video but I guess this topic is about something else now

so are they buying boots that have already had a legit vinyl release (in which case why?) or is this people buying boots of the really rare stuff that's never been re-issued/had a legit release before?

ordered, 2 great sides

if they are paying the price for an original they should care or are utter mugs

I think the point of the programme is that some people are selling knock offs as originals for inflated sums

looking forward to this one

Sad news indeed. Thank you for the music and all the great memories associated with hearing those songs.

these look great

I must have played ‘This time Baby’ 100s of times in my life. Such a big part of so many peoples live ! A life well lived. RIP.

sad news, love her vocals on this

Sad News. What an immensely soulful voice. Never forget hearing "This Time Baby" for the first time in the funk room at the Howard Mallett Club in Cambridge circa 1978 I think. Rest In Peace Jackie Moore.

Just watched this on Film 4 - great film - informative and loads to enjoy. I'm only 5 years late 😀

Cecil Washington for me, dark lyrics great sound

play whatever format you like if people are coming along and enjoying themselves

I managed to get the DVD from AmazonPrime for £10.99. Watched it on Saturday night. Gotta say it was nicely filmed, stylish graphics. I found it really annoying to continually hear that phaser effect on the music sections throughout the film. The producers also chose to dub some of the original live vocals on a number of the film clips with the studio recording, depriving viewers the opportunity to see & hear our idols performing at the peak of their powers. I could do without the appearances by "current" artists & 5 minute wonders like Sam Smith- totally unnecessary, adds nothing to the film and will quickly date the documentary! At the end of the 2hrs I came away feeling disappointed. I expected a lot more from 120 minutes. The "wonderful friendship" between Gordy & Smokey was sold within the first 10 minutes, it didn't need to be reinforced for the remainder of the film. The "never before seen" footage was all too brief and there just wasn't enough of it to satisfy. Some glaring omissions- Barrett Strong's "Money" being just one. Diana Ross, Motown's biggest star- nothing of her solo super stardom. The documentary was good. Did I learn anything new? Maybe a couple of things but no ground breaking revelations. It felt more like the opening episode, a preview for an indepth multi part TV documentary series similar to those amazing Ken Burns classics.

not yet received, hopefully tomorrow
