Mace mentioned a tape I used to have around 87, I think mini used to knock them out at nighters. It had magnetics, Paris, ray Agee and a host of other big rarities from the era, very influential on myself and others who were youthful at the time. Anyone got a scan with track listing, also who did it? It was just called rare soul 1, I think. 

I've got both of Ted Massey's 'Rare Soul' tapes from around then , both on my Mixcloud page with tracklists if that was the one you mean ... ?

Thanks Tony.

A little history here ... 

 

Thanks for the early ted tape listing, great track list but that's definitely not the one I'm talking about. I to remember it had Pyramid on too.
