Bit of a daft question really and impossible to answer but how much undiscovered or unheard soul is left. Are some people just sitting on the stuff waiting to cash in when the time is right or is there things out there that are just lying around no one knows what it is?I know most of the master tapes have been unearthed. I have nothing soul wise in that department but I do have a number of 60s Psychadelic unheard/unreleased emi disc metal aceataes and keep thinking I will hold on to them they will only rise in value. Me saying that how many people could there be out there who are not into soul music but who have soul material and think along my lines with holding on to it?

I might be wrong but I think the earlier labels had red lettering and the later ones had black.

Charles Hatcher aka Edwin Starr.

Very similar to Windy C and the song is a good description of me

Some messy & colourful labels.

Here you go Jamie.Have increased and cropped one of the images you tried to upload earlier

Make sure when you open the file The files of type* is on All files.Use the arrow to scroll down. Then when saving after re sizing an pressing Save as ,that the Save as type file type is JPG-JPEG FILES. This should work

No free listing today in USA Look like fuzzy felts to me.Worth a bid though

Girl group sound

You can crop the image on irfanview. photo the record and save, and go through the same procedure with Irfanview until you bring up the full size image and resize / resample it. If you then point your mouse in the middle of the image and click you can drag the box to crop the image to just the label. Then click on the edit toolbar and click crop selection and it should work but you may need a bit of practice. Then click save as etc. VM

Jamie this is how I use Irfanview. Edit your image with a photo editing programme. Save the image (desktop?) Open Irfanview. click on file in top left corner of toolbar. Click on open. Choose saved file from where saved (desktop?) Click on open and it will bring up full size image. Click on Image on top toolbar. Click on resize / resample. Then resize to suit. Click on OK box.. Click on file toolbar. Click save as and save (usually re writing the original file name) Should then work. Hope this makes sense.

Think I have mentioned this before Jamie , try this link and download the program it is so simple and effective for re sizing photos.I use it all the time.# https://www.irfanview.com/

Not a rare record by any means but so simple in design with plenty of information on it. Would rather have it in my collection from a listening point than The Oxford Knights shite thats causing a lather at the moment.

I had this off ebay recently totally in the wrong listing catagory advertised as Ernie Maresca and not Ben Zine ! It is in vg+ condition and cost $31.00

One of the strangest openings to a track has to be the snake charmer type opening bars to Ive got love for my baby by The Younghearts. Whats all that about? Wierd man

Just look at the bidding history , that should tell you enough

Just dont go near the Soul Source Championship Dart Team forum , the evil lasses on there will give you real grief , I can tell you from experience

On a similar note to another thread at the moment about the first ever soul record , what soul records where well ahead of there time and groundbreaking . Ill start with a very early 60s track- Fortune Teller - Benny Spellman.

Is that a soul or reggae Island 45 spinning away on your avator Pete?Its making my eyes go funny trying to read the label. Anyway heres a link to the full song. https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Dean_Parris...termination.ram

Sounds like storm to me Pete. Whats the line that comes before "Ill be the smile that you smile & the song that you sing" followed by that strange high pitched "Hey. In fact is anyone brave enough to have a go at the complete lyrics. Impossible

Heres one that finished recently on ebay Jamie https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=4043505604

Sounds inconclusive to me. His website can be contacted at info@deanparrish.com , maybe they can help.

Didnt Dean Parrish do a song about a fish.I think it was called "Skate"

On a purely played out oldies point of view it has to be The Snake , I hate it now but it must of alerted more people to Northern soul than any other.You have to start somewhere.Give this some credit. On the other hand I reckon that if anyone heard Little Anthony & The Imperials singing Better Use Your Head played on any radio station and not Knowing much about soul music, it would make you think bloody hell thats good. Ive heard it a thousand times now but if it was played on the Jonathon Ross show tomorrow on radio 2 for example it would still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

And they were white
