I bought a copy from Goldmine about seven years ago for £15, more on the grounds that it looked obscure rather than a having a great liking for the tune. The strange feature being the fact that the bands name appears to be stamped on with a rubber stamp. Can't say that I'm particularly enamoured with tune as its a funky little number and probably a tricky dancer to boot. I have put it on several CD's for folks over the intervening years, the track passing off without comment. One was posted on Ebay last week with a asking price of £450, needless to say it didn't have any takers. Does anyone know if there's anything else on this label ? Some images at : https://www.popsike.c...0586323238.html Thanks for the info all. Mick PS how can I embed a Youtube web link into a post on the source?

Double Dee "Found love" was a big Sasha Tune at Shelly's Laser Dome, Longton, Stoke in early 90T's. Definitely Italian Rave, unfortunately I doubt if it would find any favour on the Northern scene, happy tune for happy feet though. Fond memories. Mick

Does anyone know the crack with this funky cross over tune? A few copies appear to have gone for big money on Ebay (ref Popsike). I know that a few years ago it was relatively cheap in boxes around nighters. Info appreciated. Thanks Mick

Having just come across Lou Johnson's unreleased version of the Roy Hamilton classic by accident on Youtube, I thought that it might be worth another Mention on Soul Source, since others might have missed it. Now I'm not sure of the protocol regarding Youtube clips on the source, so I apologise in advance for any offence. Having done a search on the source, I know that has been covered before, but the sound file is unavailable through refosoul. This video can be accessed by clicking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2LXjdExxHQ. If you haven't heard this before, enjoy! Best Mick P.S> Hope it doesn't get pulled

I think that the seller ought to have been a little more frank with the description. Granted that its a nice looking boot, but it is fairly easy to check on authenticity. However I suppose not everyone lived through the Wigan era when top tunes were being booted weekly. Mick

Can't believe that the "The Magicians - Sweet Magic" , AKA Servicemen 1970's bootleg on Hitmaker, just went for £137.00 ,on Ebay .

It would be great if anyone had 4 each of US Stax and Volt records, company sleeves. Please let me know price and quantity by private message. Thanks for viewing. Mick

Yep. it's a well known aberration: Quote from Wikipedia : Signed to the soul-oriented Stax Records label in the United States, Zavaroni did not make much of a chart impact Stateside despite the praise and television appearances, as her Ma album failed to chart and its title single made it only to #91 on the Billboard Hot 100 Mick

That would be much appreciated. Mick

Hey there Do you have any more info on this CD or any other ? I've a vague recollection that a CD matching this description was available from Goldmine, but i've never been able to turn it up. Thanks Mick

Help wanted! Has there been a various artists CD released, with content of rare Northern Soul, sourced and compiled exclusively from rare album only tracks? I would be great full for any feedback. Best Mick

The "diggers" strike gold! After 40 years of trawling second hand and charity shops without turning anything up worth a light, I can only say good on ya! Nice one! Mick

LP only? 42 years and still a learnin folks! Sorry 'bout that. Mick

Another personal Fav: Four Tops "Save it for a rainy day"

Gayle Winters blue eyed effort: You don't have to be in love

Some nifty pieces there, always been a big fan of the Buddy Miles, Johnny Bristol produced Lp. The Dorothy Moor was new to me. Nice one. Mick

Some great tracks have come to light on this thread. try this Swiss Movement "The Grass is Greener", the album comes with the excellent pedigree of David Van dePitt's production. Also check out "come round here" I must say that the Gladys Knight track from Feelin Bluesy escaped me, despite owning it, so soulful:

How Many Versions Of "open The Door To Your Heart" ; Ecky thump! Didn't know that there were so many versions I hadn't heard of. This is not including the pop versions by the like of Amen Corner and Chris Farlow. Keep em coming guys. As a matter of interest how do you attache sound files to a Forum response? Best Mick

Hi all I would be interested to know how many versions there are of Darrell Banks's classic tune. this is Gloria Lynns: Gloria Lynne - Open the Door to your Heart - Fontana US Best Mick

The Underdogs - Mo Jo Hanna - VI[P Blue Eyed I know but this is certainly a mover.

Re : Gene Townsel tracks Don't know if this is a legit reissue on 45 ? The LP is much saught after and costs an arm & a leg! Mick

I hope that this works. Extracts of classic interviews by Richard from his CFOS

Great Stuff! Keep em coming. Mick

Quality 45's produced in 1970's and 80's, that may be picked up for less than a Tenner.

I ain't laughed so much in a week! nice one guys, keep it up!!!! Cheers Mick
