Hi Steve. Yes a real piece of history. Not the Bobby Hutton soul man, but the sixteen year old, first treasurer of the Black Panthers American rights movement. Surrendered to the police after a shoot out, hands in the air, yet shot dead, in a hail of twenty police rounds. No change for our black brothers and sisters there then. Ive a real passion for social justice and Im massively interested in the continued, African American struggle for equal rights. Bobby Womack, Gil Scot Heron, Sam Dees............ They our brothers and sisters, and whilst a Change is Gonna Come, it ain’t here yet bro. Hope you well brother. Pete

Finally got my brilliant picture of Bobby Hutton, which I bought from America last year, in a lovely frame.

Great pic mate. Fire in the Sky

Ay up my mate I sold up in the 90’s and have built a very modest collection almost from scratch again. Only buy things that I like and some bits that have some personal nostalgia attached to them. Mainly have crossover/70s or 80’s bits with a smattering of oldies - Gil Blanding, The Blue Sharks etc. Currrntly toying with the idea of selling up again - not because I need the money, more because I just shove them in boxes! Having said that I’m too fecking lazy to be arsed in going through all the rigmarole of selling! Pete

Hi Jen that sales list is six years old. pete

Thanks to Dave too.

Fabulous Chalky. Well done mate. The time and effort some folk put into our life longing music journey is truly laudable. Good lad, great job, many thanks. Pete 😉

There's some cool stuff on there - and some pretty girls! Autumn of Tomorrow sounds really cool and upfront too - makes the vid in my view. Funny that. I'll play it to some of my young hustlers tomorrow. Pete

I’m ok pal. Thsnkyou. I hope all is well you. P

Thought you were die hard 60's only Stu!

Hey Shufflin! Don't stop adding to the thread on my account - as I said I'm just one opinion. Sometimes its good to keep things fresh and start new threads. Dave's long standing record of the day is good for posting records from the collection - that thread is kept fairly fresh as the rules say one record a day. Sometimes Dave does have to remind people. But hey bro, keep on posting. Pete

Yes absolutely no offence mate. I was just posting my view. I am one of many thousands. Pete

Not wishing to sound like a belligerent old git, although it perhaps may be a trad true, but............... Hasn't everyone who wants to post on this thread done so - if we're not careful it'll turn into a top 500 night! I've reported mesen so that mods can pass jundgement. Pete

My, those are very long sharp teeth Grandma! Hope you’re well mate. Pete

Nice choices Gogs. Would keep me happy for an hour or two. Pete

A lot of the ones I’ve seen are far from mint. You’re always gonna pay a premium for minty vinyl,

Nice photograph Mark. I used to have one or two Jackdaws visit my garden to feed. Last year they must have had a really succesful time breeding - there might have been two pairs or one pair had two clutches of eggs which fledged well. One chick in particular sqwauked non stop, so loudly, we could hardly sleep for weeks. I now have as many as 14 Jackdaws visit every day in a group - they’re a fairly big bird comparatively, and they eat me out of house and home. I’ve never seen so many - in a group they look quite intimidating. They’re a handsome bird and I suspect that they might keep the recently arrived Sparrow Hawk in check. ATB Pete

Dont have a picture but worthy of note.............. I have a sparrow hawk back checking out my garden - it looks like a young male. Whilst they are a top predator and are an indication of a healthy bird population I am in two minds. I had a female hawk about six years ago - obviously nesting nearby with chicks. However over a four week period she picked off everyone of my tame Collared Doves - 7 of them who had become so tame I could feed then by hand and shout them down from the trees. They were each rendered to a neat pile of feathers on the lawn. GGRRRRR! Pete

Good shout Dave. Lovely record. Pete

Good lad. Pete

Get everyone to sign a disclaimer on the door. “By signing this document you hereby accept that Patto will be playing Betty Boo, Spell Bound, from a Soul Junction 45, a legitimate and first release on a 7. Furthermore, the soul police have no juristriction in this matter.”

Thanks for the new podcast Matt, I always enjoy listening in. Ity will take some time to get used to the new intro! Peter

Yep Bobby Taylor (tailor) on the album, is a fantastic soul record. Album only and mine is still shrunk wrapped and unplayed. Pete 👊🏻

Evening mate. No problem. I was a very late comer to GSH - my loss, but I'm catching up now. Obviously, always knew about The Bottle, and the one above slightly less so but remember it being played. It is only in the last three years that I've started to get to grips with his "other" stuff - poet, rapper, writer, singer, performer, director - much of which was focused on black american rights and politics. A real genius, exceptionally cool, probably one of the most important contemporary artists going. And absolutely one of my top five artists now. God Bless Gil. Pete

Hi Sean Hope all is well mate. That link doesn't work - which track are you referring to? Thanks Pete EDIT v Ar, this one - I remember that being played.
