Greety

I can remember saying to John, at Cleethorpes, some years ago that he should write a book. Well I guess this will be the next best thing. Are'nt we all going dewy eyed looking at those prices? But the guy is still at it. At Prestatyn this year, he had a box of 70's/Modern, all mintish and full of stuff to make a collector dribble. I think it's fair to say, this guys contribution to the Rare Soul scene has been as important as any artist/dj etc.

Got to be Sidney. Slightly slower in tempo, (to my ears anyway), fuller production and you wouldn't need a handful of class A's to keep up.

Assuming Phil "The collector" Swern has the original records, he must have hoovered up everything, back in the day. I only catch snatches of the show but did anybody hear him play the very rare Jethro Toe (Tull) record the other week?

pm'd you on FSS.

William Kemp. Absolute bargain for someone.

pm'd you mate

A lovely guy and a real loss to the Soul scene. God Bless mate.

No wonder the record is rare Julian. You've got them all!!

I suppose it's going to be all gardening and Loose Women now Rod! A job well done Sir.

What a greatpiece. I could fancy that.

We've never met Paul, but what a horrible position to be in. God Bless and the best of luck.

Very rarely seen for sale (last one I saw was £1000). "Your love keeps haunting me" on Arla. A mid tempo delight for the rare and underplayed connoisseur. Sorry, I can't do soundclips but there is a clip available on YouTube. £900 or vno, plus SD or free recorded post.

In terms of influence, has there been anybody greater? God Bless you Charles, for what you gave us.

Great story Chalky. Well done.

Great article John. Thanks for posting.

I'm the same mate, unless it's an essential track.

I have a Stateside album with this on. £25 if you're interested.

Blimey. He was only posting on here recently wasn't he? I didn't know Steve but had bought records from him before. A thoroughly nice guy!

I've never heard it but I believe he had another release on Janus (hope I'm right). And I remember Rod Dearlove reviewing it in "Voices". Rod never mentioned it sounding white. As I remember he said "forget his out of character stomper on Columbia". And then went on to call it fine Southern Soul. Gives our boy Lee abit more cred, doesn't it?

pm'd you

I have a mint -. £75 inc post. Cheers Dave

It's always a pleasure to look at beautiful records!
