His version of Sookie Sookie is fab (that's Grant Green's version - Rik Astley's would be wrong on so many levels.. ) Rich

Quality!! Have got both versions somewhere or other. As you say Dan, Erik B not bad either (for what it is!) Rich

Get a grip all of you, only one singer songwriter who epitomised that sound....the late, great, Curtis Mayfield, my all time No.1 hero, bar none...........[and for those of you who know me quite well, I place him just slightly above the greats of welsh rugby - Phil Bennet, Barry John, JPR etc] Has there EVER been a more distinctive voice and influential person in the history of our scene? Personally I think not... Rich

Marie Knight - That's No Way To Treat A Girl - still gives me goosebumps - that break in the record - this 45 epitomises northern soul for me - remember it fondly from North Wales Soul Club bashes in late 80s - happy days... Rich

Gutting - really unique voice that's given and will continue to give me a lot of pleasure - RIP Lou Rich

Pretty sure Gav Needham up here in Leeds has one on U.S. - I'll try and confirm, definitely exists.... Rich

Wishing Chico a speedy recovery - top guy and got us young uns (at the time!) right into the lesser known stuff in the late 80s along with the other N.Walian jocks - Mark Speakman, Chris Fenny, Phil Blacknell etc Get well mucker! Rich

Here's mine that I got off Mick Smith many many moons ago.... Cheers, Rich Whoops - double Monique - aghh!!!

The Detroit labels Karen, Moira, Carla and Ruth, all owned by Ollie McLaughlin and named after his daughters I do believe.... Rich

Reduced!!!

Shanus my old mucker, as Pete says, am I right in thinking unless you do report him to Ebay, you'll be hit with paying their slice of the winning bid, even though he or she hasn't paid?? Rich

Re-advertised due to time waster.... Rich

Hi Lisa, Barrett Strong "Money" Rich

Got this on one of the Blue Note comps at home somewhere - think it's on Capitol Rare Vol 1. Good version by Stevie Wonder I seem to recall too.... Rich

It's this one Gasher....

Oops, put sound file up twice . Rich

REDUCED to £125 PM or email me: richardbuckley812@hotmail.com Cheers Rich

Got mine in a soul pack from Tim Brown many moons ago - I'm sure Anglo will have some floating about... Rich

Dosh sent - good luck with the new server and keep up the good work Rich

Well done Mike et al As someone's already said, this site is now a daily part of many people's lives and long may it continue. Very very much appreciated (and you're welsh so you're doubly ace ) Rich

Enjoyed the show guys, great lesser known tunes - brill . The only downer for me was the guest speaking in indecipherable Sheffield pygmy english - only joking lord bald - top show Rich

Yep - 100 people @ $10 will do it. You'd prob need a guarantee from him beforehand that he is still motivated enough before we all send him a load of dosh (!!) but yeah, I'm happy to part with $10. Easiest way probably would be for him to set up a Paypal account (if he hasn't already). Have you sent him a link to this thread?? Rich

You're right Tim. Basically is it illegal, but practically speaking, the music royalty collecting societies/labels etc have bigger fish to fry than to go after the excellent Soul Club website that deals in obscure 60s and 70s soul music that has little commercial value (compared to Robbie Williams/chart music in general - stick a newly released Robbie CD up on a website and they'll land on you as effectively you'd be stealing the income stream). If anything, these sort of niche websites act as a wonderful reference point for punters to get clued up on the music, which will often lead on to said punters buying re-issue CDs e.g the Kent output. As Chalky's said though, if e.g. people simply copy the latest Kent CD and put that up on their site in full, then that will be stealing from Kent who will have paid good money to license the tracks and produce the CD. Simply having one general reference library for individual tracks though is not likely to get anyone's back up I would suggest. So the site won't be down for legal reasons. Let's hope it's up and running soon though as it is a great resource Rich

This post has humour and some would say logic . Soulfood 33 please note. Dan is now going to post my reply (to Dan) because I can't do fancy pictures like him. Dan, take it away....
