J.J. Daniels "Mr. Lonesome" - tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuune! Why isn't this record massive??????

How about the criminally under-rated Buckner Brothers "Love You From The Bottom Of My Heart" / "A Change Is Gonna Come"

For me it just has to be The Four Perfections "I'm Not Strong Enough" Floors me everytime (literally!)

Did a very similar thing on ebay (spread over a few weeks) and the result was the same!!

I love reading this stuff, more please! Would also like to know if the story of someone jumping off the balcony at Wigan to dance to Sandi Sheldon is true or false.

Martha Reeves & The Vandellas worth buying for 'Tell me i'll never be alone". Did this track get a 7" release?

Brilliant stuff, thanks for sharing that with us.

Do stick with it, the best thing i've seen on t.v. in a long time! Watched all the 5 series recently on dvd (best way to watch it) and believe me, it's worth watching.

You'll be lucky. As far as i'm aware, finding soul records in Dublin is as rare as finding a leprechaun. Then again, i'm only a country boy from down south so i may be proved wrong. Either way, best of luck and enjoy Dublin.

Totally agree. Both records are just pure class. Check out the sublime flip to "Thank You John" titled "Dedicated To You". Spine tingling stuff!

The small room that Steve Cato ran at Soul Revolution in London was just sublime. I heard some amazing records in there and the atmosphere was superb.

Mine is Don Ray "Born A Loser". I heard people raving about this years ago and when i eventually heard it, i thought it sounded like a bad Eurovision Song Contest entry. Oh and am i the only person that simply doesn't get why The Delcos "Arabia" is so popular?

Brilliant record, i was one of the bidders that lost out on that auction There's another version of this (an unreleased one that appeared on a Grapevine Compilation, i think) that's far superior though IMO. Maybe someone on here could shed some light on it.

This seller is a joke, had some dealings with him in the past. His attitude and manner leave a lot to be desired and his grading is unrealistic to say the least. My advice is to actually make him a realistic offer and he will eventually sell it to you at that price (i have gotten 3 records from him by doing this) but i would also advise you to be careful dealing with him because he's an absolute wanker!

Brilliant track, cool video (even though he did throw the scooter to the ground) I suppose it could be classed as a tailor made, it's just a faster version of "Stoned Love" really. I too confess to liking the Style Council (there, i've said it!).

Agree with you 100%, it's all over the place rhythm wise and my poor feet don't know what to do!

:rolleyes: Actually had my heart racing there for a minute and a frenzied fumble to the keyboard to e-mail you!!

Great l.p. which also features the brilliant "Sha La Bandit" and worth buying just for the funky picture of Aretha on the cover

Cheers for that, was pretty sure Eddie Regan was a boot but as i recall i purchased the Little Hank 45 on eBay a LONG time ago where it was listed as a dutch pressing (i think) and didn't have a scan so i took a chance. I won it for peanuts so i didn't really mind.

Hello good people of Soul Source, need a bit of information on these 2 records. Eddie Regan (original or boot) and what's the deal with the Little Hank record (original or boot). I have my own theories but just want to be sure. I've included scans as i know some of you anoracks on here will know at a glance Thanks in advance.

I think i prefer the backing track on the Georgie Fame version but prefer the vocal on the Billy Stewart version Speaking of Georgie Fame covers, i actually prefer his version of "Sweet Thing" to the Spinners version, will i get my coat?

Kinda surprised by the amount of negativity on here sometimes myself but as i live across the pond, i am merely on the outside looking in so don't really know anybody that posts on here so don't really understand a lot of it to be honest . In Ireland the numbers are obviously a LOT smaller so the scale of negativity is obviously a lot smaller but it still goes on. It's just the nature of the beast i guess that some people are never happy unless they're moaning about something. As for the feeling of Togetherness, that still exists over here because of the afore mentioned smaller numbers and the appreciation of the fact that we actually have somewhere to go once a month to hear and dance to this beautiful music.

Still looking for this so if anyone's got an original copy, please get in touch.

In my opinion, a perfect example of Uptown Soul would be Maxine Brown "Since I Found You" and a perfect example of Downtown soul would be Carl Holmes & The Commanders "Soul Dance No. 3". Either way, it's all good
