Len Barry "Its that time of the year" must be one of the rarest, would think that everyone knows Richard's "left on roof of car" story. Surprisingly it's now available on Amazon as a MP3. Not sure whether some of the choices fit the spirit of Doug's post though. The topics been well covered many times over the years but always turns up something a bit different. Here's and to previous threads. Spyder Turner's "Stand By Me" is not particularly rare, but features a number of LP only tracks:

Here's another one:

Fair enough, just looked photocopied to me. Thanks Mick

Hey Guys I was wondering if this popcorn classic had been booted as the white labels look dodgy to me: JOANNE TOUCHSTONE Walk Softly SOUND STAGE 7 promo 2535: Popsike: https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=%09+JOANNE+TOUCHSTONE&thumbs=&currsel=&sortord=&x=16&y=10 Any feedback welcome. Thanks Mick

Lucille Mathis "I'm not your regular woman" Popsike values here. Anglo say £100 but I think you'd pay more now. Not on the bay at the moment. Just got a copy of "Standing Tall", though I didn't actually know the A was worth a listen:

Goose bumper!!! Mick

Summer Madness?

My problems start when they're delivered when Tina's in. Even after all these years, I think I'd rather confront a rottweiler! Best Mick

Very evocative image on the player, by the way. Nice one!

Thanks for that, I do have a couple of the backbeats series but never made the connection, tho i wonder where the rights to "girl don't make me wait" come from. Thanks again. Mick

Do you have any more info on these, as a trawl of Amazon using Ian's name has not brought anything up. Thanks Mick

Fabulous, real Soul! Nice one Mick

Lee Sain: Funk yes, but also has a nice groove:

Very nice: Prices: https://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=oma+heard-mr+lonely+heart&thumbs=&currsel=&sortord=&x=13&y=15 Is this on any of the CD Compilations anywhere? Thanks Mick

There's so many great records by Joe Simon, here's another cheapo, though the sentiments don't apply in this country: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMGOYfoz6J8

Fantastic, well done! Thank you for taking the time to build such a detailed resource. Mick

Just bought the MP3 album of the back of the post, Whilst we're on the subject of contemporary:

Re Majestics: I thought this might be of interest: Anglo valuation: https://www.raresoulvinyl.co.uk/priceguide/index.aspx?searchType=artist&search=MAJESTICS Interesting You-Tube Motown Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/user/MotownMaster The Majestics "hello love" with group rundown.: Potted history of group

Hey, I don't how we came down this road, all I said was that I felt "generation" was overvalued for the content. The reason why I wanted this thread to work, was so that I could pick up on a few new (to me) tunes and the response has been great. My interest in the Stax/Volt group has been revived by my rediscovery of Kent's catalogue. I particularly love the "let's crossover again" and "nobody wins" CD's.. Electrified love is a fabulous track, no question. As for the cussin' the hip hop genre is littered with expletives, which is not my cuppa tea I'm afraid. I hope that we're basically on the same page. Thanks for taking the time out to respond Boba!

Very interesting, but I would like to add that the "northern soul" tag doesn't really apply to me. I have followed soul music before it was broken into genres. I've always thought that the 70's brought about a huge change in the quality of recorded music, thankfully many of these recordings are finding a new audience. Whilst respect is due to those who favour it; hip hop holds no interest for me. You will call me old fashioned I know, but generally I find swearing and foul language both in music and in public utterly distasteful. I have always been happy however that others see both quality and value, in tunes that don't appeal to me. Thanks to Soulsource, I learn something new everyday. I have no choice - Black Nasty does appeal : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwbRZGhzMFQ

Although I was aware of the John Legend cover , I hadn't given much thought to which audience it appealed. Thanks for the info - these forums continue my soul education.

A few You-tubes wouldn't go amiss. Best M

Wow!!!

Any US 7" I know its probably a bit LCD, if its not too much trouble could we have more details in responses. Whilst I'm aware that the very rare Andantes "like a nightmare" V.I.P. 25006, commands £5K+, I don't know the Patrice Holloway referred to. Thanks anyway. Mick
