Sold my copy in the early 9ts for £150 (via gary dennis to a school teacher in upminster...so he told me), I think I paid about £20-30 from John Anderson, it wasn't on a soul bowl list but I asked John about it and he had a copy I could have. I thought I had a result getting £150 and would never of imagined it to increase in value over the years as there were a fair few copies around. I sold it as I was getting bored of hearing it at most soul events in the late 8ts, it was certainly getting hammered more than it is nowadays. So many dj's were playing the same records week in week out and their sets were so predictable; other records that you couldn't escape back then I also sold were Melvin Moore, The Differences and countless others, some I regret selling and some not so. I think Flowers (and many other big records from the modern scene) have been getting a revival due to new collectors surfacing, particularly in the States where they would not of had the exposure to these records like we did here in the UK.

And ducks that never shut up.

April 88 Fleetwood....Blimey! 25 years ago.

From 87 - 90 It was in 3 different venues (4 if you include the very first) but I think the early weekenders had that same format where the Jazz Room was used for a Northern session for a few hours even when it moved to Southport. This was way before funkbase/rnb/bacardi etc came along and 'Soul Weekender' was dropped for 'Dance Weekender'. Isn't that Matt Reid standing next to norman jay in your picture?

I was going to mention this earlier; Bab's 'Guilty, Jeffree's 'Mr Fix It & Loves Gonna Last', Benny Golson's 'I'm Always Dancin', Gene Dunop's 'Before You Break My Heart', Randy Brown...were almost on constant loop across London's pirate airwaves. There was a batch of bootlegs doing the rounds in shops such as City Sounds called RAW (rare and wanted....even though they wasn't), I think some of these pirate disc jockeys were just hammering those. Many Blues type parties around this period where these records & Lovers rock were the main focus. I remember Parkers being across the board musically, Arnold Blair, Roy Ayers and Searling regularly played the 12 of Evelyn Champagne King 'Kisses Don't Lie' which always sounded good on that system.

The Jazz room was to the left and Richard and Ian Clark did there northern sets together in there (one of the highlights of those early weekenders). The soul room was on the right which was predominately 7ts, 8ts and new releases, Mary Love Comer, Hari Paris etc. Record dealers in the middle (foyer area) with Butch having the best stuff. It was still known as 'Blackpool Soul Weekender', Southport came along later.

Yep used to hear a bit of it at Parkers (enjoyed those nights) and it was a predominant sound of London pirate stations in the 8ts....Starvue, Jeffree, Father's Children etc etc

Hi Stuart, hope you're well fella. Chris is on here (NCFC); him, Bernie and the family are still in Caister.

Here's some pictures I took at Out Of The Past and a few other stores in Chicago - https://www.independentmovement.co.uk/gallery/chicago2007.htm

Shame about the guitar solo, I edited it out for my own purposes and play that instead.

I have added my latest podcast at Independent Movement, mainly modern 45s 7ts and 8ts. I hope you enjoy the shows and many thanks for listening - https://www.independentmovement.co.uk/music/podcasts.htm

Been after this for far too long now. If anyone has a copy for sale please PM me. Many thanks Mark

Pleased to add a mix of jazz and deep soul from Soul 4 Real's Alex Subinas at Independent Movement - https://www.independe...music/mixes.htm

Thanks for the info Bob, I will keep an eye out for the forthcoming material on daptone. Thanks for the offer MF, I don't like hounding people for records but I guess there is no harm in asking in case he is also a regular seller.

Great interview, I have been after a copy of 'Something to be Done' but have had no luck so far, please let me know if you hear of a copy becoming available. I now need to get that 'Where is the Faith' track as well. Many thanks

C. Henry Wood Troupe 'The Stranger' (enyx 1976)

I also did a small tribute, show #5 - https://www.independentmovement.co.uk/music/podcasts.htm Absolutely love his arrangements.

Rare in-demand LP by Rivage 'Sittin' On It' (Tempus) + the poster in excellent condition - Hard to find and very collectable. Includes the great funk title track + Answer, I Need You Baby + the monster modern track Strung Out On Your Love. Vinyl is excellent, the sleeve shows minor sign of wear but overall its VG+ condition. £350 - PM if interested.

I throughly enjoyed this set Steve, great records!

Last one I saw for sale some time ago was for £150. There is one on ebay at the moment - https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280654330394&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1156
