Dakar Listing

Two Willie Hutch sent by PM

Put it up on the site when I'd got about 200 listed, and have added to it on a very ad-hoc basis since, but any additions welcomed.

Here's your starter for 264 Soulful Kinda Music Label addresses In return, I'd be grateful if you could reciprocate with any info you gather.

Ripple Blast Singers and Band - 'Sadie Sadie (Power) - From 'Funny Girl is probably the most recent example to get played.

You're both almost right actually. I need some liquid sweetener (I'm diabetic) which you can only get in Germany, and some cheap tobacco. I hope you remembered to rinse out the last second hand Horny Helga mark II rubber doll I gave you Chris

When I was doing some work for PCRL radio in Birmingham, Mickey Nold their Sixties Soul, Show host ran a couple of radio allnighters where he took over the station from midnight on a Saturday for the next eight hours. I'm sure John Weston and Ted Massey will remember them. It must be at least ten years ago, and we all recorded our individual spots and then Mickey linked them all together on the night with news and adverts. I suppose it was the closest you could get in those days to a virtual allnighter. Of course PCRL was more in the line of Pikey's Dog's work and eventually the DTI shut the station down.

And when we eventually co-ordinate some method of collection they will be gratefully received.

PM'ed you

If you are, you could do me a big favour. PM me please Thanks

Brian is still around and pops up at different venues on a fairly regular basis. He did give me his email address once, and of course I lost it almost straight away , because I wanted to email him a photo of me, Brian, Pete Bennet, and Neil Jones, all of whom have Warrington connections, but non of us live there anymore. So if anyone has Brian's email addy, PM it to me please Ta

There's an MP3 in the first post

There are two different versions of the track, and the albums are indistinguishable unless you check the matrix markings. Same track order, same labels, same sleeve, crap version of Sadie Sadie ! Great dancer though

The minimum pressing run was 300 in the Sixties for most American pressing plants. Admittedly most records were pressed in a minimum of a 1000 copies, which generally worked out as 900 to sell and 100 to give out as freebies.

The book came out last year, Amazon.co.uk have copies here Ted Jarret's book Well worth buying for eight and a half quid.

I'd be very wary because the scan of Ernest Moseley that he has used is one I've had filed on my pc since the 10th March 2004 And the scan of The Magnetics I've had since 27th January, 2006 and the Professionals since 10th March, 2004 as well Of course he may be a sad git like me that saves labelscans and rather than bother scanning his own records has used the scans he has filed away. Just found another I've got. 2nd November 2006 this one

definitely had one, think he's still got it

Fairly sure this is only available on the 'Here's The Man' album.

Sold now. Thanks for looking

Got to agree, it's one of the best double siders around, and doesn't get the plays it deserves

I was indoctrinated as a mere child by my Mother. She used to run a 'Keep fit' class at night school, I suppose you'd now call it aerobics, and obviously the best music around at the time to keep fit to, was Motown. I can still remember her recording all the latest Motown tunes onto a reel to reel tape recorder to take down to her class, and this was about 1968 ! Of course I didn't know it was Soul music at the time. As I got older a mate of mine's older brother started attending The Torch, and like so many others on here, we played his records when he went out. School discos and Youth clubs were almost entirely Soul music by the time I was 12, and this led onto Wigan and other clubs. I grew up in the North West, and it seemed like every shop that sold records had a really good Soul section at the time. I remember Boots The Chemist in Warrington actually had an import section for a while, more to do with the girl who ran the record counter I think than Boots though. There was also a shop further down past Woolworths (And of course The Carlton) that sold Northern in a big way but I can't for the life of me remember the name. If you went into Manchester there were loads of shops. Anyone remember Derek Howe working at HMV (?) where I first came across the idea of a metal rod through the middle of the singles to stop people knicking them ! There was also Spin Inn. In Bolton there was J W Lee's (?) where the Soul stuff was downstairs. I remember Tracks in Bolton, more a Rock type of shop than Soul, but they always had all the latest Soul albums, and were cheaper than anywhere else in the town. Happy days.
