Hi All, Just curious to see what everyone thought of the SoulTrip to Chicago. Hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves and had a safe journey. home. I was only able to be there for a few days, but it was brilliant. Everyone was incredibly inclusive, friendly and great. I'm fairly new to the scene (about 1.5 years) and was really impressed with everyone's sharing of information. Thanks to Kev for putting on a great trip (I'll get those photos over to you)! Many thanks, BritMusicSoulFan

Hi everyone, Here is the list. These are all originals, but I was told the Shirelles might not be. All have been strictly play and visually graded and priced, but I am open to reasonable offers. Please send me a PM if you see records of interest.

Hi All, A brilliant time was had by me at Soultrip in Chicago. Here are a couple of photos I took at the live show. The first one is Lou Pride, the second is Jo Ann Garrett. The photos turned out quite nice. Enjoy! BritMusicSoulFan

Hi All, Wow, the Goldsoul trip is next week. I wish I could be there for it all, but I'll be at the record show. See you there! Tim BritMusicSoulFan

Cheers for the responses! BritMusicSoulFan

Hi All, I found a copy of Eddie Billups Sweet Sweet Love on Solid Gold Records downstairs. Any idea of value? It grades visually about VG to VG+ (better if I clean it) and plays VG+ish with a few bits of light noise but strong, clear, loud play. This is a top-shelf tune! Thanks, all! BritMusicSoulFan

Sorry about that. I had seen this question posted before. I'll go have a look. Many thanks.

Hi All, Could someone please post John Manship's latest finishing prices? Many thanks, BritMusicSoulFan

BillB, Cheers for that. I've got the Dance Favourites compilation, which does sound good, but the occasional LP background noise bugs me, so I'm definitely looking forward to the Ace compilation. BMSF

Hi All, I was going through some 45s downstairs when I found a couple mint Jackie Lee 45s, which got me wondering... Are Jackie's tapes in some legal limbo? I would've thought there would've been a legitimate compilation by now. Just curious. Thanks, everyone!

Hi All, Wow, just a bit over a month until the Goldsoul event in Chicago in March. Who all is coming from here so far? I'll have several tables at the record show chock a block full of 60s/70s soul, funk, crossover original pressing 45s. I'm sorting through LPs to bring to the show as well. Do a lot of people on here collect LPs/12" or mostly stick to 45s? I've got some mint 70s disco 12", some killer soul LPs, etc. Anyone interested in sealed gospel LPs (the good kind)? I can pop some of them into my boxes. Thanks, everyone. I'm looking forward to this! I wish I could go to the entire event, but my schedule won't work out to be there the entire time. BritMusicSoulFan

Hello Everyone, I've got 3 original 45s I'd like to offer up here for sale. Postage to Europe runs $7 via first class mail international.

Hi All, Hope everyone is having an excellent Christmas. There were a couple of tasty gems under the tree this year. Got the first complete Stax/Volt singles Vol. I box set. Absolutely outstanding! Also, got the Motown Complete No. 1s box set in the limited edition Hitsville, USA house packaging. Great stuff! Thanks to everyone on SoulSource for the brilliant conversation and information. It's been an amazing year of soul for me -- I've learned so much here! Thanks, everyone, have a brilliant holiday week. Best regards, BritMusicSoulFan

Hello Everyone, I'm not sure how many of you out there have heard much on the Forte Records label out of Kansas City, but I managed to come across a small group of 12-14 unplayed 45s from the label. Marva Whitney was on this label and a lot of other soul stuff. It's one of those labels I'd love to see a compilation of. I did contact Ace Records and received a reply that this is a label they've been wanting to put something out for years but hadn't been able to finalize it. Perhaps Tony Rounce could share some details on this label? There's very little information online. I did have a discography at one point but can't locate it. Thanks, everyone!

Hi All, Just wanted to let everyone know there are new and sealed copies of the Dynovoice 2xCD set Tony Rounce was involved with available on Amazon.com in the marketplace section and likely on the UK site as well. I just picked up a still-sealed, brand-new copy for under $15 US. Cheers, BritMusicSoulFan

After looking a bit around online, I wondered about DynoVoice also. Anyone put together a comp of the soul on the label? BritMusicSoulFan

Hi All, I've really enjoyed quite a few of the Northern Soul/R&B/popcorn releases from the Diamond Records (NYC) label. Has anyone compiled their 45s? I had read online that the label was bought out by another label at one point and the master tapes are presumed to be lost. Many thanks, BritMusicSoulFan

Bought an original Reginald Milton and the Soul Jets - Clap Your Hands (great tune!) for less than £1 in a pile of 45s and sold it for £650!

Here's an audio clip. Eddie_Hurt___Honey_Got_My_Money__Sample_.mp3

Hi everyone, I've got a very scarce stock copy in an original Decca company sleeve from Eddie Hurt (Decca 31481), a Northern Soul popcorn 45 for Honey Got My Money from Afraid of Love. The labels are M/M-. The 45 visually grades between M- and EX-. There are no scratches, but there is some whitish storage wear on the edges not affecting play. The A side plays M/M- and plays very strong. The b-side lays EX- with a bit of light noise but strong play. Anyone interested? Feel free to pop an offer over. Thank you, BritMusicSoulFan

Hello everyone, I'd like to see if anyone's interested in Sue 794, a white label promo Northern 45 from Baby Washington for Hey Lonely One w/Doodlin'. The labels are in EX- condition with light storage wear and a black X on A. The 45 visually grades between M and M- and plays M-. Let me know if you're interested! Many thanks, BritMusicSoulFan

Hello Everyone, Compared to a lot of the others on the Soul Source forum, I'm really fairly new to the NS/soul scene, really only into it since the beginning of the year. I bought a collection of original Northern Soul/soul 45, artist-specific soul compilation CDs, soul compilation CDs, etc. As I was listening to the Bobby Patterson complete Jetstar Recordings 2xCD set the other day, I was amazed at how the material was consistently satisfying to listen to. My tastes in music are very broad. I have been listening to 80s-90s indie British bands with some soul mixed in, but once I started sifting through these 45s, the musical "on-switch" kicked in, and I've been soaking up as much 60s/70s soul as I can. I guess it's got me wondering... Any thoughts, ideas, etc. as to why 60s soul/Northern Soul seems to be overall so musically satisfying? Was it an apex of creativity musically, production-wise, writing-wise? Love to hear your thoughts. This forum has been great! BritMusicSoulFan

Hello All, Has the Dynamic label been comped on CD anywhere? Many thanks, BritMusicSoulFan
