I think the Plumby price check should have its own topic ..

This topic could have a forum of its own... 5 tunes so close to my heart... And oh soul full of what i like in soul music.. Ural thomas... Pain is the name of your game.. for the folk who like the deep deep soul, the vocal will knock your socks off.. I call these tunes " the wrist slashers", me and Nick Hacket delight in these after a long weekend... flip side... Since you went away is also a firm choice of a few folk, nice ballad, fatastic voice indeed with sweet flute intro.. ( a Richard Bergman special ) Fab Traits.... Love is strange, monster soul funk track that i have played for many many years.. Then i only flipped it over a coujple of years ago and found one of the sweetest deep soul sides ever called Lonely man( another top wrist slasher ).. Take away the Tams.... quality early Soul/ RnB TRACK thats caught many folk out.. played this to many who have it and had not flipped it over.. The big A- SIDE is Hey Girl don't bother me.. Bill Withers... Harlem..... Another b-side of epic proportions... As folk say, hear it out loud, it just builds and builds and builds, a true delight.. The A side needs no introduction.. Betty Swan... My heart is closed for the season.... Once played this to a guy in LA and he fell off his chair.. Picked himself up and was offering me a blank cheque for a copy.. Told him to do a little search and left it at that.. He contact me to say that he found a copy for £5.. I could name a thousand more... Just dig deep into them boxes and find quality tunes that aint been battered to death and go for silly cash.. Its great to see certain events can now feature tunes like these.. That lot should be about £50 or less if you dig around... Got a few off the lists above in the last few days.. Thanks so much for the info on quality/ cheap tuuuuunes.. steve x

Its only 90 mins away by car... Pop along and back, you have the whole weekend

You will get your reward in heaven Cunnie for your efforts on this site.. .. For what its worth i have always liked this track and it stands the test of time too.. Not been overplayed in my book but then again we all go out different places... I have it as a free single, someplace tucked away??? was it a Bretby anniversary single,will have to dig it out, whats on the b-side of the anniversary single????

Hi Pete Will see whats on around town afterwards for that date..

Just got tickets to see this lady.. The Band on the wall is a fantastic live music venue thast been closed for a good while and now is back after a massive facelift... Details below for any others who could want to see her live... Marlena Shaw.. Live at Band on the wall.. Swan St Manchester.. Sat 20th March 2010 - Doors open: 8pm.. Tickets £20 https://bandonthewall.org/events/2649/ One of the great singers from the 60's glory days of jazz, R&B, gospel and soul performs live at Band on the Wall! Considered a national treasure in the USA, Marlena Shaw's 40-year career reads like a who's who's of music having fronted or played with, amongst others, Count Basie, Ray Brown, Sammy Davis Jnr, Benny Carter, Joe Williams and Frank Foster. She produced or sung on some of the era's best know hits and was also the first woman vocalist to be signed to Blue Note. With a later, highly successful foray into disco with the massive hit Touch Me In The Morning, her legacy continues as new-found fans with artists in the rap, dance and hip hop genres such as DJ Shadow, Diplo, Faze Action and St Germain sampling her work. Expect a night featuring some of her greatest tunes such as California Soul, Mercy Mercy Mercy, Woman Of The Ghetto, Liberation Conversation, Touch Me In The Morning and many more. For a magical evening in the company of a music legend advance booking is strongly recommended. This concert will begin at 8.30pm.

Dear Willie.. You were my champion.. x

Good call Adam Yes i would be saying under 25 as young uns really...... Very good points put forward by Edu... The younger scene can play a broader mix of sounds, as can some older lot too i might add... g

Spoke to Johnny at Wigan a couple of months ago about helping out in anyway,it always makes me feel good to help out others when possible... I will for something towards the pot from the both of us later... As i have always said, we sometimes focus on the negative with regards to people and this scene but i have always known that the good folk are the majority by a long long way.. All the best to mr Fingers and his family... Steve/ Lydia Cato xxxxxxxx

Nice one Simon.. Always good to help others out and we don't like to think of folk alone for xmas.. We have one soulie as a guest already, his chair and cold beers are waiting...

Yes indeed... Plenty have been taken for a ride in the past and like to think that some on here can save them a few bob.. Not what some of the sellers will like... Some you win some you lose..

Maybe a few could share a mistaken identity moment at soul events.. I have had quite a few folk ask me at Prestatyn weekenders..." what time are you on " , they seem to think with my dark features i must be one of the acts... setting up a table at future weekenders and charging for autographs, could make a few quid out of it maybe.. Also had a guy at Crossfire ask " are you Carl Fortnum " .. Plus another at Cleethorpes but i really can't tell that story on here Lydia and a certain lady at Cleethorpes last year, even i got them mixed up by the Sunday night.. Please share your mistaken moments.. A little light relief is welcome i think..

Got some photos someplace from 1982 i guess.. My first all niter was here... will dig them out..

I have a great Lou Rawls track.. Christmas will be christmas... A great soul track and nice groove..
