You'll struggle to beat the quality and value of Ian D's Backbeat series - great soul music. Peter

Just skirting through this thread in me blouse (get it)? Buddy Smith is awesome.

It's a cracking record whatever the year. Peter

That Dells record is something ain't it mate. Stunning vocals and backing. Peter

Some fantastic play lists as usual. Well, done guys - my soul journey and education continues and plenty to add to the wants list. Great stuff. Peter

Happy Christmas Everyone Peter

Thanks everyone. P

sorted and locked thanks. Peter

Hi Everyone Anyone got a nice copy of this which they would like to sell to me for a nice Christmas price? Ho,ho, ho! Thanks Father Nice Peter

I sent this question to the seller earlier "I received my record this morning thanks. Unfortunately it has been damaged in transit and it is cracked right the way through. I'm sure it was fine when you shipped as I can see that the outer packaging has taken quite a big knock. Is there anyway you can claim from the carrier? Thanks Peter" I received the following prompt reply "Hi Peter, I'm sorry to hear this but of course it was fine when I shipped it! This sucks because I thought I packed it very well with extra cardboard on both sides?! I just checked a paper from the post office and I can only claim actually when item would have been shipped with insured post... this would have costed 16.5 euros instead of 10.5 euros and package would have been insured for up to 500 euros... regards, I guess that's fair enough as I should have asked for insured post. He seems a decent enough bloke. It was a £50 quid record - a minter too, when it left Holland! Peter

Thanks Tezza. Peter

Thanks Gene Peter

Hi All A bit of a dozy query I guess. Anyway, I only recently started buying stuff from eBay and so far so good......................However, just had a record delivered from Holland and it's damaged. I could see a dent on the outer packing and when I opened it I found it was cracked all the way through. The packaging wasn't the best - but it was ok, and it's obviously taken a serious knock in transit. So, do I just write it off? Do I have other options? Thanks in advance for any advice. Peter

Probably in the Charters Arms Steve Neil Pages flashing record box used to make me extremely paranoid! As did most thinmgs back then! P

I thought I'd have a second bite at the question. So, can this record really be described as "raw northern soul"? Not to my ears. It would be stretching it a bit to try and define is as "raw northern" - but soul music. Just saying like but you're pulling my leg. Peter

So does anyone know whether it's a legitimate release then?

Nope, that does nowt for me. In fact it's orriible and nasty and has made me feel quite ill. Peter

It's a fantastic record. Peter

Me too. Just a nasty mess to my ears. Peter

Nothing mate - it was a more polite why of trying to ascertain the answer. Rather than saying "so it's a boot then" if that makes sense. So, it is a boot then? P

Just been reading through this

Didn't even know this had been booted - thought there were too many around to warrant it. Just had a look and there are two crappy ones - orrible. Hope you get one Stevie. Peter

Who wouldn't.

He had the artists all sent down the pit to convince us that he wasn't just playing white pop shit. it didn't really wash though - we err actually it did, it washed off.

So it's a legitimate repress then. Regards Peter
