Probably Paddy Grady if it was in B & S

As all the copie sthat were printed by Bee Cool sold out, the only way you will get one now is through Ebay or someone selling one second hand. Dave

Not really, it's exactly the same as it says on Amazon But thanks for looking anyway

Just found this on Amazon. Icons Of R & B But I think I'd want to see a copy or speak to someone who has a copy before I lashed out £100 (But you do get free delivery........wow)

Errr...what's the point in covering up an unreleased acetate ?????

Have to agree, even if it was just all the CD liner notes it would still make a fantastic book. If you added in all the stories that didn't make it to the CDs to the book it would be a must buy for every Soul fan in the world. Go on Ady, reconsider doing it. You should have all the liner notes saved on file somewhere, you've got access to graphic designers to put it all together, in fact you could even get it out for Christmas this year if you really tried

Said it for me

'Business Before Pleasure'

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I've just added the six hundreth artist discography to the website tonight

Try Chris Anderton, there's one on his November list

That could explain a lot

That's four sentences How you doin' mate, you and Karen ok

Completely. Quite funny really because by 1981 I was living in Dudley which is about 20 miles away from Stafford. I don't regret missing Stafford though, I have heard a fairly high proportion of the good Stafford tunes since, and spent my time away from the scene getting married and having kids. I'm still married and the kids are 23 an 20 now

Why should we bother to spoil your self congratulatory thread In fact I came back at the tail end of the eighties, and from my point of view it was just as exciting as the Seventies because I had all those wonderful, soulful records to discover that had been played during my 'holiday'.

I was at a local Soul night last night and the barman was in his early Twenties. Someone, and I never found out who told him I could explain Northern Soul to him One of the things I did mention in amongst the rambling five minute potted history that I gave him was how friendly the scene was, and how people were accepted on the scene, no matter how strange they were Mind you, I've got a theory about why there are so many oddballs and decidedly wierd people on the Northern scene. If you think about some of the strangest people you have met, and then ask yourself what would happen to them in a normal nighclub scene....Yep, they'd get a kicking, regularly ! But we just accept quite bizarre behaviour as normal on the Northern scene, and that's why they are with us Question to self "Am I just as guilty of bizarre behaviour ?" Probably if you measure my social life against that of normal people What I'm really trying to say is that I have never come across a scene of any type that is so accepting of anyone, as long as they accept the scene. And that's a good thing !

Well actually, I haven't seen it either.

I'm not disagreeing with you here John, because I have the same info as you on the last release. But, if you actually look at the HOTB listing, it jumps several numbers on at least two occasions 121 - Larry Birdsong and The Larryetts - I'll Let Nothing (Separate Me From Your Love) / Sooner Or Later - 1961 122 - Roy Brown - Rock And Roll Jamboree / I Need A Friend - 1961 123 - Willie Mitchell - I Like It / Willie's House Party - 1961 218 - The Five Royales - If You Don't Need Me / I'm Gonna Tell Them - 1961 229 - The Green Twins - What Is The Answer / Why Oh Why - 1961 230 - Willie Cobbs - You Don't Love Me / You're So Hard To Please - 1961 So anything is possible.

I've finished the ironing now dear. Would you like another coffee, whilst you listen to your playlist ? If you look at the bottom of your details on each post (On the left hand side) you'll see a little icon that signifies your playlist. Click on it. I don't know, ironing, coffee making, PC consultant, are there no limits to my abilities

The scans the same as mine Gash, and I can't remember seeing another colour, but who knows, someone probably had it ten years ago

In fact I've just ordered some

No, I said I can get 120 singles through as hand luggage in one of those boxes. John Weston getting through customs pished is John Weston's problem. I'm going to get some cards printed that say I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR JOHN WESTON !

Both John Weston and I use these boxes from Hard To Find Records in Birmingham. They are the perfect size to fit as Hand Luggage. Here's the link HTFR Record Boxes

I appreciate you apologised for taking the needle off someone's record James (And if Rob did do it deliberatly to wind you up that was just as bad) but until proven otherwise you don't really know whether Rob has a legitimate copy of the acetate. As Ady said, it's just as likely for another acetate to turn up these days as it is for a vinyl copy of a really rare single. I wouldn't make a habit of taking the needle off other people's records though because not only is it a very rude thing to do, it hasn't shown you in a good light at all, but I think think of quite a large number of DJs would would react quite violently to someone messing with their records, even if you did have Mick H there to hold your hand. You should have shown you have some class rather than throwing your dummy out of the pram at the venue. A little story, many years ago, just after I had bought the Magnetics - I have a girl, I was booked to DJ somewhere quite local for me. The promoter who had booked me then proceded to do the spot before me and play a boot of the Magnetics. All I did was smile. It didn't make me any less of a person, or any less of a DJ just because someone else has to play a bootleg, but I never for one minute considered taking the needle off the record. Stop taking yourself too seriously and go out to enjoy yourself instead. Dear me, DJs having tantrums, whatever next

Well look closer next time https://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/cameo.htm https://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/parkway.htm
