Thanks for digging that out Mr Chalkster! 😇 Peter

I never had any idea about that one! 🫢👊 Peter

This is an absolute stonker of a record - I've never heard the flip. The name of the artist(s) is enough to whet one's appetite. Probably another of my top ten oldies. I wouldn't be able to make a good call in terms of who and where this was first played. My best attempt would be one of Richard's 60's newies, circa, 1979/80. 🫣 Can anyone put me to the sword and provide a better answer than mine please. 🤔 There are so many great records that have been posted I'm sort of working backwards and forwards. Peter

Just a shout for all the new members - our family is growing. Welcome to Soul Source, I look forward to scrolling through and seeing who is who. 😊 Peter, err, 99. 👊

Well, I think I deserve at least one thumbs up for shouting out that Nev and Martin (B) both had and played this out! 😇 It was nearly 50 years ago, I was only ten. 😲 Seriously, it's definitely in my top ten sounds. Any more memories, views or information would be very appreciated. Thanks Peter

Dear Tony I can't seem to get my likes to work; I'll have a chat with the boss later. 🙂 Anyway, I like the sentiments in your post. It's a great thread - lots of new things for me, and for many others I suspect. Thanks for taking the time. Your mate. 🙂 Peter

Thanks Hippo. My memory; for once, seems to serve me well. I think it was 1979 when I first heard. I've run out of likes for today, so, I like your response. Thanks mate. Peter

I think the days of the 100 mile an hour stompers also waned in favour of a more mid tempo, even slower style. For me the 80's was a great time musically. Richard, in my opinion, put together some hitherto unbeaten sets; seamlessly mixing some extremely good 60's (newies), along side some amazing 70's records; lots of which were expensive for the time, and very collectible today. Richard, and Martin B certainly turned me to the dark side. 🫢 Just my humble opinion. Peter 🙂

Thanks Gary What a record to have in your collection. Superb record, a minter too. 😍 Peter

Not me Hippo - I don't collect anymore, and actually gave my last collection away; but I always got carried away, and rarely stuck to my budget. Back in the day I don't think many of us had too much cash to spare. I wasn't collecting at the time you visited Johnny's goldmine. Peter

Always a favourite record of mine; never been near one in any of my collections. I'm trying to recall who I've heard spin this, many years ago. Could it have been Nev Wherry or Soul Sam? Its a superb soul record - I'm even very fond of the unusual name of the artist; Arin Demain. Does anyone know the price the record achieved in the two recent auctions? Thank you. Peter

I'm pleased you have found one. As you say it has been debated on here a few times previously, but that matters not. The original release is a tough one - it has been for many years now. One of the best early 80's modern soul dance records, and one of those that stand the test of time. It still sounds great to me and I just danced around the kitchen to it. You have good taste Timbo. 👊 Best wishes. Peter

Well, not a great photo, and certainly in no way as amazing as the other contributions. But, nonetheless, it is a photo. 😊 Here's my constant companion Ace, my rescue dog, and me. I've had him for five years now, and he's a real challenge still. This one was taken in the summer, just in the back garden. I still hadn't been out of the house much for over two years. I'm starting to venture out now, and drove for the first time since December 2020 recently. 🫣 .

I'm just catching up on this thread and have already run out of likes. So, thank you for all the contributions - lots from some of my SS friends, the whole thread is fantastic. 🥰 This thread has been running for a few years now and I'm very pleased to return to see some stunning photographs. Peter

Dear SS brothers and sisters. Apologies for the self indulgence. 🫢 This is the new look me - I've lost weight and trying a beard for the first time in my life! Out of courtesy here is the link to Jerry's song - a great soul record. https://youtu.be/BT-G4aQgqHM Click here to choose files to upload

I'm pleased Dean's shows still going - well done mate, great job. Tat's always plays some nice tunes, with great humility. Thanks guys. Peter

Some very nice records posted up. Well done everyone. Bobby Hutton - Come See............c/w Loving you.......... I'm sure that's a double sider. I had one until I gave my collection away. Peter 🙂

Well, I think you maybe quite correct in your assertion regarding the usual practice of 45's being double sided. Apart from that your post is rather unpleasant, and particularly mean to Tony, the thread starter. There are some very good posts on this topic already; keep em coming SS'ers. Peter 🤔

Thanks Chalky Sir Dickie in his pomp - kicking off with Vickie Baines. Quality. Thanks mate. Peter

Amazing photographs. Well done everyone. Peter

Sincere apologies. I have only just seen and heard this sad news. I was only saying to a friend on Sunday about Chris's Motown trips in particular. I first met Chris after a Derby Assembly Rooms All Niter in Derby - 1979? Me and my mate were hitch hiking home and he picked us up in his Mercedes sports car - told my mate off for slamming the door too hard. Last caught up with him at Bretby, at his birthday bash. What a great loss, sincere condolences to his family and friends. Peter

Hi Everyone Some amazing pictures - breath taking. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Peter 😊

I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas Time, and I wish all of you a healthy and happy New Year. Thanks to the King of Soul Source, Mike, for another year of holding it all together. With love. Peter

Great thread and fantastic posts, pictures, memories and stories. I'm going to try and take a better look at this. Thanks everyone. Peter

Very sad to hear this. Steve made lots of memories, good job lad. Condolences to family and friends. Peter
