well had confirmation yesterday, two of my items on the way.....but the 40th cd set ???......looks like ill have to wait......Ian you reckon they have enough sets mate ?...as money paid by paypal etc.....cheers martyn

all pay pal payed for Ian.....so lets hope they don't run out now...as its my birthday today too...so nice one...owe you mate...martyn

Cheers Ian...just ordered the beat vinyl, the philly 10 cd box set and the tom remix 12s.....all done.....lets just hope they all turn up..thanks in advance mate.

Gerry H , I also have this sony ( bush) deck......its good for playing my old 45s on ...I just put the lead into my hi fi amp aux, works great, never jumps....got mine from richer sounds about 10 years ago....was a good price then too.....not portable, but good if you have a hifi aux.......or a mini, micro hifi with no deck....

Pete , well did you get them changed then , and something for your troubles ?.....Are you near a Richer Sounds, or Superfi , by any chance.....always best to try before you buy if poss.......iv got loads of head phones.....use them from main hi fi, and also all my mp3 players....even in ear ones while out scooting, from my mp3 player....Also got blue tooth also.....and senn wireless........All got pro,s and con,s to be honest.......so getting a good price is top for me.....always nice to get a deal......Hope you get sorted.

Thanks for info, well received my 5 triple CD box sets today, not a bad price really, all on , not now music, got all the A sides on there vinyl double LPs also....lol....may as well get them while I can...The other CDs out there on sunrise are the same tracks ???...so looking for blue beat from 1963 onwards now ?...such a great collection.

Pete s , Correct mate..its the first 125 or so 45s.....But these are well worth having....ill hunt a bit deeper for any more at a later date...some great music on these... Who owns the right to the records after 1963 ? Wonder if they will ever get released ?....

Some info here, im new to all this Blue Beat , Ska, music...Being a northern soul, jazz, man.....But just in case you are not aware, You can pick up All of the Blue Beat A & B sides on triple cd box sets at a great price on Not Now Music....they also have the vinyl out , but with only the A sides on them.....All top quality, and no doubt one day become deleted and rare.....Note for some reason the Blue Beat tracks are also out on cd by another label, Sunrise ?.....can,t see the point to be honest....as you can,t really collect both labels, as the tracks will no doubt be the same in places.....So anyone who wants vinyl 180gr double lps, you can,t go far wrong with the Not Now series...... And no I don,t work for the company.....But I have just ordered the whole lot......get them while you can.....

Amazon are re selling this now...£61.99........all this talk as put me off now.

Project decks every time if for HiFi use, had mine 10 years still mint,sounds very good,

Agree with above list, got about 2000 all soul or jazz funk, Latin, 60s soul, modern....etc

After reading these posts its put me right off now.....Good luck to those who get good copies, ..By the way, are these records out on a motown box set of cds ???...Just a thought..cheers martyn..........well just been checking my collection, looks like got most of them on my cds compilations...apart from my free marvin gaye , bretby 45.....so that will do for me for now, ..Hopefully it may get a repress better quality.....heres hoping..........

Thanks for posting this link mick.....did,nt even see or know about it , till mate mark randal told me about it last nite......funny thing the chap we were talking to at the time is in the bottom right of the page..........BRETT, ..now hinckley way......burbage orig..... ......top geezer....not got any contact info for him at the min, but anyone who sees him before i next will in oct......Tell him about this thread, ok....... One last thing....how many of us are left .......and when can we have a niter to bring us all back together............. SOULSISTERJANE.....yes i went to the early niters also.....near the bus station.......Crap concrete dancefloor.......Bloody glad they moved to the oddfellows........see you all out on the dance floor somewhere out there........im still loving it and doing it.........cheers all.......funky martyn.(leic)

Firstly great post from Malc, ...Where to start, ...um......Well when i was a young northern soulie,.. , going to mostly local events + the odd niter like wigan, sams, etc, etc, .....Not having loads of spare cash to be honest, ..so Selecta , was just the ticket......and they had the smal 2 story shop in leicester....Where every week we would all pop down.... ..good old days they al were too.....Picking up most of the top sounds being spun at the times.......lol.....at good prices......did,nt have to be all orig, as just wanted the sound to play out or at home . On the crap record players we all had........sound was nowt to do with it....... .....Then after that closed down, and we were going more niters, soul nites out , etc..we all used to buy sounds there, from all the dealers or soulies.......ha, ......Picked up some good stuff over the years......( still no cds in my collection ) ......... Then to cut my story short.......sorry for going on, ......trips to notts became more and more........(1) selecta...(2) arcade records...etc.... As my tastes were moving on at that time.....northern soul still......but also jazz funk, fusion, .....etc.....mostly lps...... Then moving on again......yes i did it , we all did......( i think) .......CDS......yes that word......il never buy any..etc....lol..... Well with the event of , Kent cds coming out.....so good , loads of bonus tracks on them......too good to miss, .....cds were the way for me from there........with the odd vinyl, lp, still but not that many......... Still not really using the pc, net at this time..........always slow me....lol....... And going notts once a week , mostly on a sunday, (when they did open on a sun )... .....as we all went to the notts jazz bop, etc......Which made it a double trip......worth doing , as used to come away with about £80 + a time......always getting some good stuff.......Not in a sale through, as Selecta did,nt ever have a sale...... .......A nd then it came the pc route.......you guessed it, Amazon, play.com, ..ebay, etc. So from there i got some even better deals .......who can blame me or anyone for shopping around.....if its only just the cost, then amazon won for me.......And i could get all the past cds or box sets that i could never find out there.........so selecta for me was one of the better record shops out there .but like most people and time......it all moves on.....just like the music and venues...............still loving the music through.....mart (leic)

Bloody hell this is a on going thread or what.... ....And im so glad it is, .....one of the best niters i went to.....did them all if i remember right...Glad im still about on the scene....just... .....still doing my Jazzy moves everywhere i go........if there is room on the floor,, ....Get more pics on here anyone......wish i had some to post up.......damm it, i was to busy dancing...... ........was only talking to a chap i met sat at the wicksteed park , help for heroes dayer , and yes leic odd, came up........love it.......HOPEFULLY one day we will all meet up ......it must happen soon. As each year there are less of us around........not good......oh, the good old days....and they were, we just did,nt know it at the time......funkymartyn........see you out on the floor somewhere........say hi to me, ......

Paul, pic dos,nt look anything like you..... .....trust you,re doing ok........ill be popping in to kett wicksteed park 2morro sat......as mate is on the decks......wish id have took and had some old pics also......like you did,nt really get into taking pics.......just dancing, clothes + tunes......speak soon mate........leicester martyn.......
