Dylan

the hard to find vincent one.

I have added a couple of russian manual wind watches pics to follow. poljot ruslan and a moscow classic which was listed as a diver but I wouldn't risk it even in the shower...... but for the money i'm pleased with both and will keep an eye out for other russian watches.

and if there aren't many youngsters getting into northern then spare a thought for young soul fans who love deep soul....... now that is a very rare commodity. for me the best northern DJs have always been those who also collect deep.

you don't have to accept paypal you canj take a cheque but it would limit your potential number of buyers. even at 10% ebay + 4% paypal its still pretty good for basically being able to sell from the comfort of your home with very little effort.

in what respect, obtainging the records and knowledge or being invited to DJ ?

the unreleased fred knight on the second CD in the series was one of the standouts for me. the ralph soul jackson on SOB is also amazing. in fact there is quite a long list of great records

this is a brilliant deep soul 45 and I remember it took me ages to get my copy now its going through ebay with not even a bid. Shame realy when terrible records sell for 3 figure prices. this is worth way more IMO if quality had any reflection on price. https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370526280221&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

it was exactly the same at the one before as well. good to see. I was quite suprised to see it if i'm being honest.

There do seem to be more youngsters on the scene now than about 10-15 years ago. I was the only youngster at the union in nottingham nearly every time. Things do seem to be changing now particulary in the north west manchester area. I used to see the odd few younger soul fans but at the last kings hall I went to in March there were significantly more. They do seem to be moving slowly onto the scene and also starting a few promotions of there own.

there must be a few versions of funky 4 corners. ruchard marks on tuska the only one I have. I always assumed archie bell "tighten up" was the track that kickstarted all this but reading between thew lines that came later ?

you just need a website and a ridiculous amount of time to upload all the music..... john ridleys site is a fantastic example of achiving soul music for future generations so it is not lost.

ray zeiner is fantastic blue eyed soul I included it on the last deep swap on here.

yes indeed written by sam dees and fred knight you can't go wrong. Top double sider..

there are at least 4 good rare soul records on this label.

going off on a tangent on your username...... were polyvelts polular with people who attended soul nights ? aren't the soles a bit to grippy. i've got some oberons (along with lods of other clarks originals) now which are similar but can't imigine i'd be able to dance in them.

38 benji you old fart it'll soon be time to retire

2 great records for offer here paypal gift preferred PM if interested. C.P. Love "Plenty of room for more / you call the shots" King Walk Ex 250GBP superb mid tempo and deep I also have a copy of his very rare 80s release on moonwind that I would take offers on. Blues Bros No1 "Letter of regret / happy song" Eclipse Ex but small biro WOL nothing serious 200GBP One of the very best group deep sides with good modern flip. thanks for looking dylan

I wanted it to be don varner on veep...... johns wrire up acknowledges another copy of NC so prehaps that is the one being talked about here ?

nearly all the young (25 to 35 ish) collectors across europe all know each other so there can't be that many around.

When the time comes to sell i'd sell the more expensive things first and end up with a collection of cheap records that I probably wouldn't be able to sell. but hopefully they would owe me nothing by this point.

great stuff as always dave and cheap to levert alliosn flip on the spar 45 is as they say "right for now" its got that gritty funky edge and would sound great in a club IMO

some of the guys crossing over from the funk scene would be a lot mroe appreaciative of a slower track if it has a heavy bassline or a ncie groove. Hip Hop is not fast and that gets people dancing I don't agree it has to be uptempo 100% of the time. I'd say 80 to 90% of the time would still have same effect. there are some mind blowing down and mid tempo tracks that would realy hit the spot for me as long as not too many of them are played.

I had exactly the same conversation at the last soul night I went to. They certainly miss the x factor that you get at a nighter. even the tunes don't take on the same power although that could of been in part the volume and quality of sound system. nothing like a big hall with a good sound system and an up for it crowd. the scene does seem to suffer from a hell of a lot of polotics. I have been guily of having an opinion myself at times.

mint conditon examples of things like this could be collectors items in years to come. can't be that many still in circulation.

will listen to reasonable offers on these and discount for multiple buys. the blues bros is a stunning record.
