You can subscribe to Manifesto from Bournemouth Colour Press, Poole Telephone 01202 717535. However I renewed my subscription from issue 137, £40 for 10 issues. Never received issue 138, had to order a copy from Jumbo Records, sent an e-mail to complain and asked for details when the next issues would be published - still waiting for a reply. They also set up a website to promote the magazine but its way out of date.

I got one free.....December 2012 issue.....from Beatin' Rythm in Manchester last month..........don't recall seeing a later issue on offer........maybe its a quarterly now?

What number was the December issue?

Last one  had was 138. Interesting to read that there is now a new issue out. Must chase it up.

I received Issue 139 last week through the post, it's got The Vibrations on the front, and they've changed the magazine from a Gloss to a Matt finish, looks & feels good. (sorry for sounding like a Dulux advert  :lol: )

Cheers for that Alison.

I have emailed them and await a copy through the letter box.

Hopefully it can return on a more regular basis and can get the soul night dates to run in conjucntion with when the mag comes out.

....wondering if it could be the same bloke as my long lost mate "Scally" from Oldham so looked on the manifestosoul.com website for contact details but the site's been suspended and tried the phone number for advertising which is listed in the mag but the number wasn't recognized.

 

Anyone know how I can find out about Mike or contact them otherwise?

MIke Atherton is a collector/write/seller, lived in Sussex for ages, can't remember where he is now but he does a list every three months or so - obviously there could be more than one!

Just going offtopic a little, I used to see Mike Atherton at Brighton record fair and this one day he had four or five records on the Downey label (including Pat Powdrill - Do It) and he'd found them in a junk shop in Sussex along with handwritten letters, they were from a guy who was English but had moved out to L.A. to try and break into the music business, and he'd ended up working on these records for the Downey label.  I wish I could remember his name, but he was definitely English, and he'd sent these records over to his parents so they could hear what he'd been working on.

Just received a copy (at last) of Manifesto mag # 141 (August 2013), so it seems that Mike has got his act back together.

All the usual articles + 'Richard's Run Out Groove' and 'Edwin Starr -- 10 Years On'.

Me too!! Arrived this morning, as I was leaving the house .... two copies actually! & guess what, I'm stuck in on wet Saturday night, in my jimjams, slightly bored, but cosy, & both copies are in the boot of my ruddy car .... in my garage .... which is a few minutes walk from the house!! Pffft !!!
