I'm talking about now Chalky. I have to say 'upfront' is not a term I have been aware of that much with regards to advertising an event until relatively recently. To me it means playing something other than soul (funky edge for example) which isn't for me. Some love it, good for them, but not for me I'm afraid. Some people close their ears and don't want to hear anything new, I'm as far from that as you can get. I have listened and decided I don't like it. Have I said it's not for me?

I posted that 'upfront' venues appear to be ones that play 'funky edged' stuff because that's how it appears to me. Northern / soul venues don't use the term as far as I'm aware? Could be wrong of course

Upfront ffs lol Going by venues using this term it would appear to be the not good enough 'funky edged' stuff they're referring to? Absolutely not for me, no way no how. Total bobbins My new year's resolution is to be less tolerant ... it's going well

This record is proof in point that rarity does not equate to quality in any way, shape or form. Absolute bobbins lol

We lost him 22 years ago today and I still miss him x

Just a quick shout for Pete, still miss him x

Love the instrumental but that vocal is up there as one of the worst things I have ever heard

I like BNF. Messy and quirky but it works

Easy to see why there wasn't a sound file on Ebay. It does improve near the end but jeez ..

I like reading them

Ffs, put me off my breakfast. If I watch before every meal I'll be my target weight in no time

For me Four Voices has everything CH doesn't have - class - apart the very last line - "that low down dirty dog just stole my woman" - quality! Far from bobbins, just both sides of the FV is far superior backing wise and vocally However, any version of TMS is bobbins of the highest order lol

Shredded Wheat ffs. Bobby Angelle going in sales right now lol

Tommy Dent - Soul Thing Great opening few seconds followed by absolute bobbins

They were great days indeed and while most did push forward, most were not like Rob. He did tapes without you even asking for them, many a morning I went to the door to find a new one on the mat

Following for sale, postage at cost. Money back if not happy Tommy Rodgers - Pass the word / Tell It to the wind - AJP (ex) £140. **SOLD** Reggie Saddler Combo - Hear My Song - Panther (ex) £500 Otis Jackson and Compromisers - Turn Out The Lights (VG++) £110 spare copy that looks ex and plays great, couple of very minor crackles in one very quiet part of the record that most probably wouldn't even mention **SOLD** Thanks x

Rob had such a great impact on my early years, always willing to share his knowledge and his tunes. No one else came close for me, if only we could do it all again x

Brilliant! Great records and great handwriting

Have to say I find this rolling out of 'celebrities' in the name of Northern Soul more than a bit naff. They went to a few soul do's, whoopee doo. I don't dislike her, she's talented enough in her own field but... A bit like the Eric Knowles myth, he went to a few soul do's but knows absolutely nothing about rare soul and has no records. I know because I asked him lol

Rarity has got absolutely nothing to do with anything Nev, not as far as I'm concerned anyway. Records weren't recorded rare, they weren't recorded expensive, they were all recorded equal so to speak - they only became rare and expensive later due to the amount pressed and the demand from us raving nutters. I can honestly say, hand on heart, that I would feel exactly the same about this record if it cost a tenner and we could all own a copy. It is without doubt one of the finest examples of Detroit ever made and that's no matter how many times it gets played or how many people have a copy. Like I've said before - I just wish there were more so I could own one. And Andy D.

I'd love to hear it every single time I went out. This record is in a class of its own and sounds as good as it did the first time I heard it. Just awesome!

Arguing over who played Skanky, pmsl

Third one is Carl Carlton - Bad for each other also on Back Beat

How many copies? Nowhere near enough
