So Levine has throw his teddy out of his pram on facebook over any comments that were anything other than complimentary about his latest podcast. It's not the utter crap that he serve's up under the guise of being northern soul that pisses me off but the the patronizing way he delivers it, like we're all thick and need him to be our saviour. So Candy & The Kisses "Out In The Streets Again" is a unknown record? Did he not know that Gene Pharr on Sandollar(an excellent record by the way) is a cover version of Bobby Womack on Minit? etc, etc It always amazes me how people like Levine are nowhere to be found when the scene is in the doldrums but as soon as it's popular again and a few radio and TV camera's are about, out they come and jump straight back on the bandwagon with their ego's at full throttle. Knowledge is a wonderful thing and you find out alot more by listening, than drowning people out with the sound of your own voice. Dave Welding (an anal purist with his head up his own arse)

So Ian's first record is a new discovery, he obviously doesn't know about Fred Marks And Toll Darkness using the same backing track on their Mel Omega releases? Too many years in the wilderness with Take That. Dave

Don't worry Bob, Reggie's got a lot less hair on show on the cover of his latest gospel cd. Dave

Great interview with Charles, Steve Dave

Hi Phil I'm not comparing the quality of either 45against each other just saying that "Let's Take A Look" is about due for a reactivation., the trouble is the Four Dynamics is a current biggy and Emory is a forgotten sound. Also some records never hit the bigtime first time round or even the second infact some have to make more comebacks than George Bast to hit the bigtime. There's none so fickle as northern folk.

Na! this is another one he'll regret selling. It's about time this ol' Guy Hennigan Stafford spin re-emerged from under the shade of "The Things A Lady Ain't Supposed To Do" Now then what did Guy have it covered up as Where's that Chalky when you need him? Dave

OMG that didn't last long that Threlfall chappy can even out manoeuvre Fred "The Shread" Goodwin when it comes to slippery deals

What no Trent Sisters !!

Terry & Marsha Its A Possibility / He Champ Mint - £30.00 + £2.10 postage Dave Welding

I seem to remember Pat Brady spinning this in ye olde staffordy days

The Sonatas Vendor Come Back (To Me) flip to Going On Down The Road Hotline The Topics If Love Comes Knockin' flip to Hey Girl (Where Are You Going) Chadwick Sandy Shelton Baby Your Mine flip to Your Gonna Make Me Love You Okeh Dave

A couple more RCA's Percy Wiggins The Work Of A Woman flip of It Didn't Take Much Rose Valintine When The Heartaches End flip of I've Got To Know Right Now Dave

Why all the negativity "Get Down With It " is a great record why not play it back to back with "Dance What You Wanna" quiff and shake-dancers ago-go Dave

Go to our website: www.souljunctionrecords.co.uk to hear soundclips of both sides Dave

Mick Smith bought a instrumental version of "If You Can't Be True" on a virtue acetate off John Anderson at one of the Manchester record fairs it was the backing track to Marva Lee's cover version on Atco. It was o.k but would have been better if it had of got the wah,wah horns in it. He covered it up as the Jimmy Bishop Trio. I suggested he covered it as the "Duo-Dynamics" to which he replied how am I gonna say that after a few Shandy's down the 100 club so the Jimmy Bishop Trio it became. Dave

Maybe either Gamble or Fisher ?

Here's a couple more Steve Both were on Virtue acetates, one being Cindy Gibson which had the issued version of "Step By Step" on one side and a slilghtly different version of the same song on the flip instead of "Whisper you Love Me Boy" It was in very poor condition and I eventually sold it. So it's out there somewhere. The other one is a one sided acetate of Kenny Gamble singing "Help Wanted" which is a longer version than the Volcanoes issued version and this one I kept. Dave

Perhaps it's a case of selling too Fast rather than Stepping!!!

Mel Williams is more down to demand than being rare, most copies are and will probably remain in collections. There are alot harder releases on Buddah for instance Janice Joyce and Triboro Exchange Issue for example Dave

Hi Mark Thanks for your kind words concerning our forthcoming release.
