Depends on the hours, pay and company pension. I've heard the current moderators are on £20 an hour , work 100 hours a week and retire on full pay when they are 50. So yes.

Certain things are taken for granted and when they are taken away it is hard to imagine life without them especially when they dont cost you a penny and give you superb enjoyment and pleasure at the expense of someone elses hard work , time and cost as is the case with The Soul Club website. So I think a big big thanks is due to Mike Hughes for Soul Source who has provided this superb outlet for the past few years which has given so much pleasure and information to anyone who has been lucky enough to be involved with it and in my opinion has played a major part in the progression of the modern day rare soul scene and should be totally appreciated for this. Thanks Mike.

Theres an original Decca promo on Ebay at the moment with buy it now. https://cgi.ebay.com/JOHNNY-CASWELL-45-DECC...1QQcmdZViewItem

I've got this Lp somewhere and if no one else lets you know in the meantime I'll dig it out and put a soundfile up as well. I think its called 100% tailored for soul or along those lines if I remember.

Just looked Tony and its got I dont wanna cry on the flip .

Jimmy James released this on US HBR in 1966.I picked this up off Ebay for $2.00 Great tune.

I think this is Ray Pollard Mandy. If you come to the 44 on Friday ask me nicely and I may play this for you.

Dont really know how you define deep soul but as for Colins first suggestion of Eddie Holman flip this over and listen to the superb I'll cry 1000 tears. As good as a double sided gut wrencher gets. I think I read somewhere once that Eddie sings this with such feeling it leaves you in a physical emotional state after listening to it! But for me it has to be Roy Hamilton - Reach out for me , if there is a better soul record than this I have yet to hear it.

Strange you should say that Dawn as my wife Dawn's all time 3 male favourites are 1. Lonely for you baby - Sam Dees 2. I'd think it over twice - Sam Fletcher. 3. I'll rescue you - Flash Mckinley. Female are 1. If you ever walk out of my life - Dena Barnes. 2. Just loving you - Ruby Andrews. 3. Im coming home - September Jones.

I've just posted 3 female tracks up in the sounds section and I have to admit the female soul vocals do it for me all the time ahead of the male. I dont know what it is but the female recordings just have that little bit extra over the male soul wise. You just can't beat a good girly track in my humble opinion the ultimate one bieng Got to have your love by The Sapphires or Set my heart at ease by Mikki Farrow. Soul heaven. What do you prefer male or female and what is the ultimate male or female track.

The only ones interested in them in 30 or 40 years time will be those who inherit them , and their only interest is how much they will get for them if anything. They wont be kept for sentimental reasons either , believe me.

I've just come across this usefull site for label / Artists listings which is mainly on the 70s side but there is quite a lot of 60s material listed.Most of you may have seen the site before but well worth a look. Click on the corresponding letter to bring all related labels. Click on Ohio artists on non - Ohio and national labels to bring up the artists. Click on the little dot at the end of each listing to bring up a label scan. https://www.ohiosoulrecordings.com/a.htm

Oxford Nights - I'm such a lonely one. Absolute rubbish over-rated white pop pap.

Just sorting through a few 45s and played this and my missus reckons she loves it. Im not so sure myself but its still a nice instrumental for a Saturday afternoon.What do you think?

Here are a couple of soundclips. Make your own minds up on these efforts. https://www.arch-records.com/sound/FPOP49CD2.ram https://www.arch-records.com/sound/FPOP49CD.ram

Ive still got the Record collector magazine that Pete wrote the piece for in 1997. For anyone thats interested here are the label listings that accompanied the article. Have prices changed much in 8 years?

Seriouslly now here are 3 contenders. OOTF - Dobie Gray Love Love Love - Bobby Hebb The Right Track - Billy Butler.

Ski-ing in the snow - Wigans Ovation or Footsee - Wigans Chosen Few Pure class

Depends on what you want to listen to , if its vinyl and Jimmy at his very best I would recommend the Ruff 'n ' Ready Lp from 1969.Great album cover as well.

3 nice bits from a box of around 200 mainly shite US 45s off Ebay I recieved today. Kept about 20 the rest are going back on Ebay. Just go for me - The Groovers - Minit. Stop and listen - Patti Drew - Capitol. You're something else - Chris Calloway - Cub.

If Ebays anything to go by , yes prices are down. Go on completed items and look. Very hit or miss . Has been for a while now.

Love. Gladys Greensleeve. I think that was her real second name.

Would go lovely in your nice green sleeve
