I paid £4.99 for my new copy which was purchased at the end of December. If you are Kimberlite's official Australian distributor, how do you justify, just 6 weeks later, offering these at £25 ? This is precisely what is wrong with the marketing of so many new releases IMO. Inflated prices should be justified not assumed.

HMRC and/or the Post Office are possibly employing/training more customs staff on import tax checking in preparation for brexit and when the tax will eventually be due on goods from Europe. In the meantime that means more staff to practice on/look out for, items from the rest of the world which may otherwise have slipped the net. Just a guess. - Kev

Nail on head. If not, how would the audience know when to start applauding? It's only the "Egyptian" bit at the end that provides the clue, particularly in a live set which would be likely to be extended. The applause starts before then. It's fake. - Kev

Nail on head. - Kev.

Without a doubt George Carrow is the one that does it for me. It's the version that harks back to my youth and is the one that, when unknown to me, Dave Godin recommended to me along with a handful of others in one of London's Berwick Street record stores. Amongst the other tunes were Bok to Bach...Father's Angels, Cat Walk....Gerry & Paul and the Soul Emissaries, and Spreadin' Honey....Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band (get anything with "Watts" in it, he said). Still got all the vinyl I bought that day in '71. -Kev

For what?

I'm shocked to hear this very sad and unexpected news. Such a nice and popular bloke. RIP Winnie. Condolences to family and those closest to him. - Kev

Fantastic, and wow.. to think that these are 'also rans' in Ady's search through the Croasdell vaults for a suitable offering for the 6T's 40th Anniversary single !!! - Kev

Mate, if you ever return to the site and this post, remember this: When you ask for suggestions and people make the effort to try and help you out, then it's to be expected that you will at least bother to check for responses. Anything else is just taking the p!ss. - Kev

Well I think Maria Willingham does a damn fine job on and off the decks. - Kev

Have a word with Leo, on here as ljblanken. He's been over here a couple of times with his wife and a mate. They did the 100 Club and Crossfire and I believe they have something going in LA. - Kev edit..... I see you're a brand new member. Welcome to soul source. I'll message Leo and maybe he'll contact you or respond to the thread. Good Luck.

I would move.

If no one on here has heard of the artist or the tune, nor the label or anyone on the credits, then why bother with a photo? A sound clip or two might be more relevant. - Kev

So how did it go? Any luck? - Kev

Try Hanway Street just off the eastern end of Oxford Street and a stone's throw from Tottenham Court Rd underground station. There's a couple of shops there worth looking at. Nearby and easy walking distance is Berwick St and surrounds where there's always been a handful of shops worth checking out. Good Luck, Kev.

Bearing in mind that you can buy generic "one size fits all" lids, I'd be very surprised if the Technics lids weren't interchangeable. I bought a NEW lid for a Lenco L90 deck for £30 - £40 a couple of years ago from the Lenco website. It was by far the cheapest lid I could find and would have fitted numerous other brand decks. - Kev

Opened with Eurythmics, followed by Phil Collins then Hall & Oates. No longer matters how it's packaged - I'm changing channels. Sorry people. - Kev

Just spotted this on the freesat TV guide: The History of Blue-Eyed Soul ....."Artists down the decades have been inspired by the silky, sultry sound of soul and we showcase some of their best songs here." Showing tonight 1st Feb 2018 at 8pm on 'Vintage TV' freesat channel 505. i've never viewed this channel before so have no idea of the format, but am guessing that it might be just a collection of film clips rather than a documentary. Edit - just seen a trailer and part of another similar programme, covering other genres, on this channel. Both had well reasoned choices and good narration. Could be worthwhile. Mods, please feel free to move this if it's in the wrong place. - Kev

If you say so. However it seems strange that a song based on band members experience of the 100 Club niter has a title that could be a nod to Ady Croasdell .......but isn't. I believe Ady is a family friend of sorts so I'm not going to labour the point. Whichever is correct it's sad to see them go. BTW is their final gig tonight (26th) or the 29th? Best to get that bit right as there may be some reading this that might like to go. - Kev Edit: Just seen an earlier post that states the gig is on the 29th.

Got to agree with this. Also,in my opinion any 'nearby' hotels need to be within 1 mile, not a 5 mile radius. Hypothetical really 'cos if bingo is taking priority in any way then it's not a good sign. Sounds like a lot of work on your part for something that may not get a good take up. - Kev

IMO if you really want an original you should be looking for a Mighty Lover, by the Mighty Lovers copy on the yellow label Boo-Ga-Loo. Same tune, same recording, correct name for the band, and original Detroit release. - Kev

Soul influenced?......most definately! You do realise that 'The Big A.C.' is Ady Croasdell and that song is a tribute to the Northern scene in general and the 100 Club niters in particular. - Kev

Yes it is, and all 3 versions sound equally unworthy of a vote from me. - Kev

Doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid apart from getting my mind wandering. I almost nodded off. All a bit mono-tone and lacking in soulful content in my humble opinion. - Kev Welcome to Soul Source btw

Well done Rod, and thanks for your considerable efforts. Not only did you do a bloody good job but you took the time to explain the rationale behind your actions. A hard act to follow. - Kev
