ricticman Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 OK, maybe they weren't the best ever hi-fi, but at 16 [ yes all 16 ] double lp's with 8 tracks a side, they're an interesting bit of our history. [ That's 16 x 2 lps x each side x 8 tracks = 512 tunes. ] And the sleeve notes are worth a mention too, Dave Evison's sleeve notes on Vol 1 was worth the price alone. Come and get these memories ! All complete with covers in ex or minty looking condition Job lot - offers over £50. Will close this Sat 25th at 2-00pm. Postage will be at cost, but I'm sure with all the dayers / weekenders / soul nights we go to we'll likely be able to meet and hand them over. 1
pikeys dog Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 I sold a spare set on eBay a few years ago and got £120 odd for them... A great set of albums.
Andybellwood Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Theres some fabulous holy grail tracks on these Lps , perhaps the only chance to acquire for the majority of us
Pete S Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 I sold a spare set on eBay a few years ago and got £120 odd for them... A great set of albums. Same as what I got
Wiggyflat Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 I bought boxes of them.as job lots....I'm.sure they were being advertised in the back of Echoes...best collections of northern tracks at the time...but not the best sound quality.

Frankie Crocker Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Agreed fellows, a superb set of sounds. For those of us off the scene in the 1980's, they helped stoke up interest and laid the foundations for an incredible run of CD's. After the 16 double albums came the pale green 'The Soul Of.....Detroit' double album also available on CD, the first CD I ever bought. I never play the LP's now but couldn't part with them - still enjoy the sleeve notes though. I think we all owe Kev Roberts and connections a big thank you for helping the scene along in between the decline of the major national All Nighters and the proliferation of local Soul Nights that exist today. 1

I agree. But that cd was a shocker, dubbed straight off the lp onto a cd LOL
Andybellwood Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Wasn't there a 'modern soul' Vol (vinyl) as well - i'm sure i've got one somewhere Edited May 23, 2013 by andybellwood
Pete S Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Wasn't there a 'modern soul' Vol (vinyl) as well - i'm sure i've got one somewhere There was, it was made up of 2 previously released single albums put together to make a double (they did that a couple of times)
Guest Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Wasn't there a 'modern soul' Vol (vinyl) as well - i'm sure i've got one somewhere is it the modern soul story 1? made by soul supply records.............double album.........i have that in my albums sales box
ricticman Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 anyway.....back to the thread any offers??? , good home needed, you don't want to see these beauties broken up and sold in a local boot fair, they were collected together, grew up together, and only know each other so get feckin bidding

Pete S Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Disagree. Don't understand why you'd disagree. I missed Stafford completely, this is where I heard loads of the records played there.
Russ Vickers Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Think the Lp's are a great 'lot' & hope they sell. Disagree with 'I think we all owe Kev Roberts and connections a big thank you for helping the scene along in between the decline of the major national All Nighters and the proliferation of local Soul Nights that exist today'. If this is to be debated further, then maybe it should be taken to AATS or summat ?. Best Russ
Blake H Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Is this fully licensed product? I was informed they are boots, is this right? BH

Seller won't mind the publicity. I"ll start the bidding at £100.
Pete S Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Is this fully licensed product? I was informed they are boots, is this right? BH Blake they are 25 years old, how is anyone able to answer that question apart from the people who made the records in the first place? 1

You have missed out at least one cd before the Detroit one, it was called Soul On CD surprisingly enough. That was as far as I am aware the very first Northern Soul CD? I have it at home and can scan the cover etc if need be. Edited May 24, 2013 by chalky

Chalky Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Pale green cover? Grey I think Pete off top of my head.
Trev Thomas Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Is this fully licensed product? I was informed they are boots, is this right? BH hi blake a small percentage of the tracks were legit 1
