Mate I'm starting to get self conscious; every time I post a want you remind me that I've had it before at some point. I would hate for anyone to think I didn't know what I

Anyone? Just missed it again this week which prompted me to try again on ere cheers Phil

Been playing Richard Simmons out recently and had several folk ask what it was. Awesome record IMHO and an absolute steal at £40

Defo one of Gaz's Kirst Another three that always remind me of him: 1. Lovers - without a doubt (remember him crawling (literally) up to the decks to ask Ian to play it at the Wilton), 2. Billy Arnell - tough Girl aka "Ginger's new Mick McManus cover up" "It's so sh*te Billy Arnell insisted on it being covered-up" - priceless! 3. Epsilons - mad at the world (coz he had written it in about 12" high letters on his kitchen wall ) Haven't seen Gaz for ages; I do miss him calling for me on a Sunday with his Woolworth's kids cricket set under his arm. The conversation usually went: "fancy a game? Can't mate, my teas ready. Ok, see you next week" See you soon hon x

Somebody buy that Tropics and save me from myself FFS

I think you can call it what you like. 'Northern soul' in it's broadest sense e.g. Wheel - Torch - Wigan - Stafford - Lifeline etc etc etc represents an almost evolutionary process whereby, inevitably, new things were found and played and became accepted. The term 'NS', whilst largely irrelevant to me personally, encompasses a whole range of genres, it's a broad church for sure - which is a great thing too IMHO. It has come to matter less and less to me what it's referred to and by whom - which is another factor of course; we will all have a differing taste depending on where we've been, what we heard and when etc. Music is funny like that I think and NS in particular because, almost by definition, it is such an integral part of our lives and has been for years and years that it is part of who we are, both individually and collectively. (Hmmm, the sociologists might have something to say about the collectivity angle e.g. how fragmented 'scenes' inevitably become within an increasingly fragmented society ... there's a PhD in there for any Bergerian sociologists amongst you ... ... but let's not go there eh... ... ) I'd suggest that, in some cases, we might attach more weight to a particular record because of the memories it carries with it, not totally regardless of but perhaps with less onus being placed on the actual 'quality' / stereotypical soulfulness of the record? In the final analysis, as long as folk can shuffle about to it and so long as it does that funny thing to your insides when you hear it you're not far away I reckon That's what 'soul' means to me anyway for what it's worth.

wanted. PM with price and condition. (I also have some nice stuff to trade if that's preferable) cheers Phil

check Dave Flynn's 'Anorak's Corner' site out, fantastic section on cover-ups therein Phil

anyone?

Again, no secrets here bud and not necessarily stormers or rnb (apart from that though they all fit your bill exactly ). Been having a bit of a rummage and while 99% of the folk on here will probably know 99% of these I think they're all great cheap records which, for whatever reason, I'm as guilty as anyone of never seeming to play anymore : Garnet Mimms - prove it to me Reflections - out of the picture Emotions - do this for me No No Starr - swing your love my way Betty Everett - claim on you Betty Lavette - stand up like a man (can't find mine so if anyone has a spare ...) Willie Harper - but I couldn't Fred Hughes - don't let me down (Ashamed to say I'd forgotten how awesome this is!) Major Lance - since I lost my baby's love Joe & George - no one loves you La Shell & Shelletts - you better check yourself Intruders - check yourself Betty Everett - too hot to hold Players - get right Wade & Jamie - don't put off til tomorrow Bobby Bland - yield not to temptation Joe Simon - just like yesterday Summits - sophisticated lady Ballads - keep the faith Soul Bros Inc - all the time Jimmy Norman - family tree Jimmy Holliday - new breed How much is Tammy Wayne these days? Still absolutely blows me away!!!! Finally, just give Banksie a ring or PM, he'll have boatloads I suspect Happy hunting

No secret sounds here mate. Not what i'd call rnb by and large either but all dancers and around at v reasonable money. Ray Agee - real real love Irene & Scotts - I'm stuck ... Lee Rogers - go go girl Lee Rogers - Jack the playboy Freeddie Scott - I'll be gone Tina Britt - look / absolutely right Chuck Jackson - somebody new (kinell, what a record this is for 15 quid ) Mike Finnigan - bread and water (oldie but goodie) Del Rays - fortune teller Lenis Guess- working for my baby Otis Clay - show place Delcos - arabia Heartbreakers - I've got to face it Donnie Wells - you got my love Robert Thomas - salvation (oldie of course but for 20 quid ) Bands of gold has had a mention too I believe, you can do a whole lot worse than that mate atb Phil

Can't believe no one has had a go at this , awesome record

Tell me where you live and I'll sort it Kirst

Come on Chic - I'm waiting on the Mark Lloyd / Soul Joe batch

As I said mate, it's a no brainer: bit of motown and a couple of modern / disco type things - that's all you need to know sweets. (Buy me a pint next time you see me and we'll call it quits)

Ged bang a load of motown on it with a smattering of modern / disco type things and tell your mate - whilst relying on pub landlord-esque philosophizin - to utter the immortal words: "that's all you need to know sweets." I do understand your predicament though. When I first met my missus I tried the "I'm a soulie, its my life and therefore you too must love and embrace it" routine (which, as you well know, was fairly cutting edge in Barrow in the 1980s!). "Listen to this tape, you'll like it, particularly the Tony Middleton (spanish maiden) track; what with it's latin influence you girls are sure to love it". Eighteen years of marriage later she still tells me how much she hates it and has done "ever since you did me that bloody tape" So, come to think of it, your load is lighter because even if it's shite it won't matter in the short term. However, the price for getting it wrong will be paid in full from here to eternity. No pressure then ...

thanks Pops ps. Gizza job, go on, I can do that ...

Anyone help with this? PM me with condition and price-ish. Cheers Phil

Godoy Colbert; Willie Colon; Gamma Goochee (Himself) eh? Off at a tangent I know but I'm still awestruck whenever I recall 1970s boxer's 'ring monickers' from my youth. Personal faves include Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini; John 'The Beast' Mugabe and my all-time personal fave: Dave 'The Chatteris Fen Tiger' Boy Green (Who, from memory, was kin bobbins)

thanks Phil Hal Miller and Rays - love another girl (Amy) SORTED Robert Thomas - salvation (Charay) SORTED PM me with price and condition Cheers Phil

Cheers Paul One of those records you can easily forget about and still reasonable money too - result! Defo coming on 14th Nov and looking forward to it mate ATB Phil

Gawd you've got impeccable taste Tell you what, Oscar would be 10k if records were priced according to quality alone No idea on price for ole Tom these days (wading through a couple of old tapes - I can't believe I bought some of this shite - albeit interspersed with more lucid moments such as these two Hope you're well m'dear x
