In case anybody wants an old style CD/Radio for their car, takes I think 6 cd's which go into a seperate box. This was a quality unit and when last used (some time ago now) it played great. Could be just right for a 'classic car' or if you want to play cd's in the car! Free to soulsource member but you would have to collect or pay postage. if interested please pm, thanks Rich.

I had a pair that looked the same in the seventies and I think they were called 'solatios' then... altho also wore a plain pattern black shoe called 'gibsons' - having said that I wouldn't count on my memory too much these days......

Joan Berry - Just like my baby. bought the record because my (late) mum's name is Joan Berry. Played it to her once........ try dancing to this espc the final third.. (also have Richard Berry - have love will travel cos its my name...)

Speaker system which I acquired but cant remember where. If any use then you can have for free either collect (Reading) or pay for the postage (£20). Please PM if interested, thanks Rich.

Barely worn black Solatio shoes (only worn indoors). These are size 8 but they come up quite large as I typically take size 9 in other shoes. Cost £130 will accept £75 ono. PM if interested, cheers rich.

Thanks Steve, will take a look. P.S Looking forward to Modified Ibiza !! atb Rich

Hi, Anyone know if there is any chance of hearing some soul music in Malaga - I'll be there 25/3 to 28/3. Any info much appreciated.

As the 'stella' version is not the same recording would this be regarded as an original?

passions finished £1203

there was actually a 3rd bidder who dropped out at about £2200......

went to Stables a few times, cant remember when, stayed at a b&b that was about 1 mile walk away off that dual carriageway. didn't know anybody and didn't know hardly any of the records, just listened & danced in my own world - Totally brilliant !!

Well it is genuinely rare (& in top condition) unlike some recent auction items that have gone very high. The 'flip' could also be attracting heavy interest from US based collectors....... As for the track itself I quite liked it but one of those that does the opposite of 'grows on you'.

also 'sal & pops' getting to a new audience...... lovely bit of energetic dancing (as opposed to a lot of 'line dancin' i see at some events....) almost 1/2 million views...

I have always recorded where/who I bought them off (as well as photo linked to spreadsheet) e.g. discogs , dealer1, name of friend etc.... some of this would be verifiable, some not but would add to the evidence if a claim had to be made.

My insurance company (specialist in high value items) strongly advised me to photograph every record in case of a claim (my spreadsheet records the photo number - bit of a pain but how else do you prove you actually owned them?). I asked them how they would value them & they said "we have our sources" but wouldn't divulge(?). If I had to claim I would probably ask JM &/or other high profile dealers to value.... (bit off topic but with values these days a serious consideration for many). Taking records out to DJ is another minefield re; insurance!!

In reality it takes 2 clowns to make a circus!!!

That is what I was trying to say, dont look at the final price look where the bulk of bidders dropped out.

Lots of discussion recently regarding the 'unreal' prices achieved for certain records. Does the price achieved set a new perceived 'market value' - Not in my view, all it tells us is that ONLY ONE PERSON (in the world?) was prepared to pay that price on that day. So in theory if the record (different copy) was auctioned the next day the 2nd highest bidder from the first auction would only have to beat the 3rd highest bidder from the first auction i.e. 1 increment above the figure 3rd highest bidder dropped out. These 2 now have the record so anyone now wanting to sell a copy is selling to a 'market' most of whom wouldn't pay anything like the first ending auction price. Personally I would look at the auction price where the bulk of bidders dropped out to get some idea of perceived current 'market value' (I didn't watch the recent Cecil auction but that would have been interesting to view). all theoretical I know but that how I look at these auctions.

Hi, please pm with condition/price, many thanks.

Hi, Please pm with price & condition (Ex+ min). Thank you

Arthur Willis is to me the type of record that sounds very ordinary if you listen say on the laptop in the middle of the working day but at 1am at the right kind of venue and a totally different experience.

you cant please all the people all the time. A friend who I would see at a small local do would moan about 'same old northern oldies & motown every month..... would be nice to hear some new stuff' so took him to a 'rare soul do'. Afterwards 'did you like it?' he replied "i'd like to hear some rare stuff but that was a bit too rare for me" ???
