HI ALL That's right I would add that the worm was popular at clubs, however queen of the world was popular vie tighten up 3 the 45 is a instant money maker and as such the worm is cheap, both sounds are worth getting , DAVE K

HI ALL ... One of my 1st US imports (as we called them, back in the day!) was this classic early rare soul sound, popular at the TWISTED WHEEL & in SOHO, The question is it to dated for todays scene, or is it the classic that was loved by so many in the early days of the rare soul scene, Today I have never seen a GOLDEN WORLD DEMO, & the 1st UK $taeside release as a DEMO is a hard find for collectors, I'm just lucky to have got my demo years ago (pre inter net) when the word junking for records was a big part of the collecting scene, it's all to easy to find rare records today if you have the corn? Here is my demo, I doubt if the US demo exists but I may be way wrong about that. DAVE K MY COPY

Boot V's Original Tamala Lewis You Wont Say Nothing Marton
dthedrug replied to Whereismy Record's topic in Look At Your Box
Hi All ...I may be wrong but I'm sure Ady C had the BLUE copy but thought it was a boot? apparently it was the name TAMALA sounded made up? however it wasn't I have never had a chance to own the BLUE copy but the orange copy stays in the same box as my original's, a very hard 45 to get the inferno copy means little to me DAVE K -

HI ALL... Yet another classic that I used to sell back in the 8ts, for £10, as with most of my sales in the 8ts were supplied by MJ RECORDS, I would love a copy today are really true classic,. any one got a copy???? DAVE K

HI ALL NEVER BOOTED, MY COPY IS YELLOW, This was a TORCH SPIN, JD had success with STAX however the record was a big hit in DETROIT CHICARGO & Johnny's home land CANADA, & I believe that some of the changes in label are due to this fact alone, GREAT RECORD DAVE K

HI ALL the answer to the question is straight forward, it was in Denmark Street SOHO, TIN PAN ALLY if you like, to get the song rights of US songs many R&B/SOUL records were released and given no promotion at all, most of UKs POP started of as Afro American , in the UK it was given to white people and in many cases exported back to the states as part of the BRITISH Invasion following the BEATLES "we love MOTOWN" Yeh Yeh YEH! with a love like that we whites will rule the world PEAS & LUV parched peas are luvlley said RINGO DAVE K,

HI ALL IT'S A SHAME THESE 1000 45s, was just a ice breaker, a potted introduction to the basic fundamental things to know if your mate drops down dead & you seek the old school soul brother instinct that we had in all of us back in 69, the opportunity to empty the room of the rarest in the collection, it's almost the perfect crime, as his misses has not got a clue of all but 20 records she calls her records??? While I write this pile of crap, watching the SOCCER, 2 PEOPLE COME TO MIND, 1st Andy Spencer, Andy was a good guy who lived in NORTHHAMPTON ? last time I saw Andy was in 1985 he had moved to the outskirts of BRUM, & WAS SELLING HIS COLLECTION? the reason was he was certain that the records would be stolen, a real paranormal anxiety attack that he could not get through, shame. 2nd is a good friend who passed away in 1980 and had his collection plundered GOD BLESS YOU NEV, Trying to value records in 2014 of a typical collection 5000 plus, & being realistic although if it was my records I would get my investment back it is because I have been lucky over the years and not buying any in demand records, they are the ones you sell, you have to be ahead of the game and sacrifice your best sounds to buy 2 or 3 unknown's that you hope go big then you can wave it in front of the person you sold you best record to sell him the latest must have for cash and your record back, this is the only way to build a collection, or you could become a DJ & your 350 record box is your collection my collection will be left for Mick S to sell, as that is the best way also there are many records that I value but would not sell easy, who wants all the red Atlantics Statesides CBSs some of them yes, well I don't know if this posting makes any sense? The SOCCER has ended Jonson Paint final GULP!DAVE K K ,

HI ALL..... Sometimes the mistake can happen, normally it's the big sellers who list 500 plus and get someone to do the shop list, it happened to me 2 weeks ago from a trusted seller record was listed but lost in stock, I took a refund as it was only for £12,, or you could pose the question to her if she refuses the refund, ask her DYF if she say's no tell her to f off she might say yep!

HI ALL,,, My life it's ALL FOOLS DAY TOMORROW AIN'T IT??. The very fact you are asking this question, tells me you ain''t got that many to sell and that you have not stated how many US or UK, how many are issues or demo, 60ts 7ts 8ts modern crossover funk R&B popular soul top 100 Motown northern soul, original / northern dancers bootlegs pressings , modern pressings limited for sale to people who cant tell what's up or down but expects others to tell while he goes to bed or up the pub,, I will give you £3k for em? pm me DAVE K

Opinions Needed Price On Two White Demos Please
dthedrug replied to kevinsoulman's topic in Look At Your Box
HI ALL KEV WONDERETTES RUBY DEMO? RUBY RED ISSUE - £40, UA DEMO - £40, UA ISSUE £35, OOTP - £5. CANDY - ASTORS UK DEMO £100+ UK ISSUE BLACK ATLANTIC £35, RED ATLANTIC DEMO? ISSUE £15, US COPYS OF UK RELEASED 45s always cheaper, a rough guide would be half the UK price PETE SMITH OR TED MASSEY are very good at current (realistic) prices DAVE K -

dthedrug replied to a topic in Look At Your Box
HI ALL.... He got them of ADY for nothing I hope he remembers! when he rakes in the profit? he must have some idea what they go for? the 100 club is not that big, you should ask there, the Hampton's with the labels on the right way is £40 all the rest depends on who you can mug them to, £25 each or £50 each if you give Ady half I'm just jesting with you....however rub me up the wrong way?? DAVE K -
HF What a great list, the big shame is I have them all, could not believe that there was nothing for me, still I can recommend your list to everyone as there is some great stuff on it, DAVE K

HI ALL STOP YOUR MOANING, I cant imagine why you attack JM for the prices he gets, and when people compare the price to what you had to pay in 78 is just nonsense, good luck to him, DAVE K

Hi All ... Christine Cooper Heartaches away & SOS were played in 72, SOS was available at CONTEMPOS 50p, however Heartaches was much harder, both records are great, Going back to PAUL entry....I totally agree with you. However although for you & me the years from 72 to 76/7 were the real northern soul years and sadly no matter how many records you own and how many venues you have been to post 77, you have missed the trip. the northern soul years were electric the people were brothers & sisters it was masonic villainy fuelled by chemicals at a 100mph dance pace, most records were current or under 5 years old, most were controversial with soulsters not on the scene (basically because they were not part of the in-crowd) Paul added to this we attended better quality All nighters such as St Ivess Peterborough Wirrina, Cleethorpes both piers, & YATE plus other venues like SAMANTHAS & the KGB were a must attend, so Wigan 78 is & was as I said Bad Drugs & full of kids & more DAVE K

WIGAN 78 Did have a positive, the emergence of the BEAT BALLARD, Gene Mc Denials "walk with a winner, Barbara Mc Nair also broke through, Ray Pollards "drifter" was being played again years on from the WHEEL, I think the BEAT BALLARD was the inspiration of the 6ts sound that went big at the 100 club a few years later, also the crap that got played in 78 inspired the classic soul that we got from the DJs at STAFFORD, I suppose it had to be bad to come good again DAVE K
-
:shhh:Hi All... Wigan 78 was the same thing over & over again, I liked most of the records, we all no that the crap should never been played, for me Wigan turned into a money making kids playground, young kids walking around all night after they had taken a £10 wrap of bad gear (pink sulphate) yep I to dropped of the scene in 78 for a 5 year rest?

HI ALL So true don't get me wrong, I love the classics from the WHEEL TORCH & WIGAN, HOWEVER I have many myself, the reason that I DID NOT MENTION IT, IS I DON' WANT TO OFFEND THE POSTER, For example the thread on FB that is dedicated to TONY JEBB, Has turned into the same people just posting a YOU TUBE video, SOULSOURCE RECORD CLUB gives a reason of why the posting has been made and some titles are completely new to my ears, ok a lot of the postings are by a dedicated & knowledgeable bunch of soulsters but it's if you were with them at a venue and feels very real, well it does for me, the RECORD CLUB has made me aware of the MODERN SOUL & CROSSOVER SOUL records that I would of never heard if the club did not exist as there is no other site that comes near to it, well I can't find one. The new thread for the club starts in the early hours tomorrow, so don't forget to put up a posting for your 45 of the day, Many thanks again MIKE & all the RECORD CLUB SOULSTERS, ,DAVE K

HI ALL..... True fact, by making a post on FACEBOOK led to me to lose my job in the NHS, so it's no surprise that I rate SOULSOURCE, Yes it is another true fact that some people have a dislike to some of my posts and I have been warned about, but I have not been concord, SOULSOAUCE is very important to me, as a way to communicate with people, since ill health prevents me going out, The success of the Record Club is quality and if you have the time, just look at tunes that have been posted and compare it to other lists, and you will see why it's the #1 site fore the rare record collector, KEEP ON KEEPING ON MIKE DAVE K
