Dylan

is the richard marks an instrumental side (funk) ? if yes it will be the one i'm thinking of if not there is another.... does anybody have an mp3 for the barbara hall side to this if its deep i'd love to hear it. dylan

Is there a 3rd by her on the label ? Adam Leaver had one listed but I didn't keep a record of the details label no etc etc.

will it now shoot up in value.....

this is very true. Soul records can only be either good or bad examples of there particular genre. some have the magic others don't.

I heard that before but never managed to get it confirmed. Does Johnny McCall sing lead on the 4 shades track or is he a backing singer ?

yep, must be this one. Just listening now on youtube. fire island for me just means the one I listed (anthem in its day for me) but don't think its got any connection to LH.

"there but for the grace of god" ?????????

good stuff. Happy to have my doubts proved wrong. my copy is in the post looking forward to listening to the vinyl instead of an mp3 on internet.

is it young divines ? I like that one...

thats what I thought. Didn't sound quite right.

I had a listen to it last night and can't decide..... did see a discopgraphy on the net saying its him but you can't believe all you read. did he have a son who may have sang on this ?

are you certain its Ralph ?

I think he may have.... but saying that when I went to my first nighter in about 3 years a couple of months ago I didn't know too many. There were plenty of new sounds mixed in with the stuff I knoiw and like.

Thats how I read it. but do the customers attending rare soul nights not want to hear at least a selection out of a given number of records ? a lot of the top DJs must have records that people associate with them and as a result they will get played. some of these records may have taken a lot of finding in the first place so will get a good spell of time on the tuntables.

thanks.

veron changed hands for a lot of money in football transfers but was pretty rubbish at British clubs. just a bit off topic.....

are these shows available to download ? without having to mess about with one of those bits of recording software....

I can see the logic here. I wouldn't say you need to have had the big ticket records though just heard them lots and lots over a number of years so when you spend you want something different. Not something you know inside out.

its a slippery slope but sounds like you've got the bug good and proper now. Its frightening how easy it is to refer to a 75-100 record as cheap and not even think it remotely strange to spending that sort of money. I think there's a few of us now who came over from the house music era.

i'm having a mainstream phase just now. example being Bar-Kays "Summer of our love" and this... which is sensational. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGAvP_c9AqQ things like tomangoes are always going to sound. They don't reach cult status for nothing. you've got pretty mixed taste which is a good thing in my book.

you'll have to work on the sales pitch a bit. just out of interest what tracks have you heard so far on the northern scene that you have realy liked ? this is not a test i'm just curious..... I won 't be giving you marks out of 10

just played this and decided its worth a mention.. Billy Jackson TCB - Brunswick should be a cheapie I think ? a very good dancer. another one of the 45s I baught for the deep side and got a pleasent suprise when I flipped it over.

if it was only the "normal" people that had children then the world would be a better place....

it certainly is agree totally. the more you can learn the more chance of finding good 45s cheap. i've been "into" soul for prehaps 8-9 years now and I don't think you ever stop hearing new records.

a touch more expensive than the admirations as well. but so much better. "and if you think i'd beg you baby......" quality.
