  1. I doubt if this was the group that actually recorded "Houseparty". A group of friends and I saw them around the same time at Burnley Miners. They had a chick with them on vocals, did ots of current pop/soul covers and I don't think any of them were over 25! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  2. There's no doubt that some of the people who flocked back to collecting in the 90s are now offloading again. I'd love to know what most of the records advertised on S Source actually sell for. It's a subject I raised a few weeks ago......apparently everyone gets just about what they ask... honest I'm hoping we've seen the first flurry of an avalanche. So many records and so little time. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

  4. Pete, Sometimnes Firefox refuses to imbed things like passwords, images, soundfiles. I don't know why but I presume it's to reduce the chances of being spammed maybe? I use firefox all the time now, but on some websites I have to revert back to IE if I want to post an image or something. Hope this helps. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

  13. Hi Jocko, Thanks of the reply... Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  14. Sorry to hear your news Mark. It was something of a tradition at our place Sunday afternoons (time difference). I know the frustrations and hope you find somthing to stay 'involved' in soulwise. Best of luck Matey. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  15. They were the same price too! Thing is the nasty looking red label would have interrupted the nice flow of W/Ds in the D box wunnit? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com PS. Anyone collect the Cardboard Topps Motown Pic Records. I have a few doubles but I'm a couple short too. Looking to buy or trade a Miracles - Going To A Go Go - anyone?
  16. Just thought I'd throw this up and see if it generates any interest: In the various collections I've put together over the years I always seem to have built smaller collections within them. Some examples are: I collect Motown Mini LPs and am striving to complete them. Another example is I collect W/Demos of 45s wherever applicable. (I once had Larry Clinton Issue and Demo in my hands, knew exactly which one was rarer, but opted for the Demo!). I also collect Ollie McLaughlin's records, (on W/Demos where applicable). My question is this...have you any collections within your collection that you're always on the look at for stuff to add to. One advantage of these 'smaller' collections is that when there's nothing to buy at a record fair or similar , I always look for somethibg for these mini collections. It means I very rarely leave a show without SOMETHING. Anyone? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat .com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  17. Hi Mark, Exactly my thoughts. Hey.....forget JM's Symbol demo...check out the stamped Soild Sound 45 on his auction. I have one....but it took me a long time. I actually got it from Brian Waterhouse who I think you'll probably know. Booted on a lookalike, but the original is a real toughie imo. Don't think I've seen more than a dozen of em. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  18. Hi Mark, I love many of the oldies referred to. (most pre 1979) I have sold records and made a few quid at it (Made Money). I sometimes wear a shirt with a record label on it. I like to attend lots of venues, some of them the ones Mr Darcy sems to be alluding to. Many of my closest friends for 30 years do/have done all the same. Must make me part of the 'divvery' referred to. Ah well....at least I'm happy in my 'divvery'. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com PS. got your message ref 45, should be with you "any day now". Damn! another mouldie oldie, they get everywhere!
  19. Hi Mr Darcy, I'm not sure we've ever met, though we may well have over the years. Have you tried Prozac? It calms the nerves and although can be quite addictive if abused, most good respected GPs recommend it as a temporary solution to anxiety. You don't half expend some energy on this site on a scene "you have no truck with". Take a chill pill Mate, live and let live. We don't need any protection, procrastinating or constant edjumacashun about what we need to like soulwise. Life's too short Pal, surely best to concentrate on how you want to live it rather than wasting time on a "scene you have no truck with". Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com PS. Your avatar, although the greatest record ever recorded, is in fact a played out oldie surely?
  20. Hi Karen, The records were originally manufactured/designed to be played on a specific small turntable produced by Hip Pocket. It was a sort of marketing ploy. You can play them on standard turntables but sometimes the return mechanism kicks in and the tonearm returns to the rest position. Shouldn't be drama on the Technics as you point out. I've never owned a Hip Pocket Player but would be interested in one if anyone has one for sale. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  21. Hi Paul, I collect the soul variants of these 'discs". You need a hip pocket player to actually play them. Atlantic and Chess are the main players as far as soul ones are concerned. Not particuarly expensive but a nice sideline and something to pick up at record shows when the pickings are sparse, whis is more often the case nowadays. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  22. By a country mile Sir! I once heard Linda Jone's voice described as an "adequate yodeller!". Needles to say the guy was born deaf, had both ears amputated at birth and decided for aesthetic reasons to paint some new ones on. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  23. "The Scene" is what it is. It's a reflection of the people who are 'active" at that particular moment. The Oldies v Newies debate of the mid 70s, the media invasion at the same time, the jazzfunk split in the late 70s, the Mod revival of the early 80s, the return to underground scenario in the Mid 80s, the rise of the Detroit collectors at around the same time, the "returnees" of the 90s, the retro/oldies revival, the current splurge of events/'DJs" etc etc. It's all part of the tapestry. But there is always one constant. When the "DJs" have given up the ghost, when the events are playing to zimmer framed shuffling dancers, when 45s have become monetarily worthless because there's not enough people want 'em anymore, there's still that one constant tangible that will always have it hooks indellibly planted in some of us......that magical thing that started the very first minute the likes of Carl Davis or Popcorn Wylie or Ian Levine or Carl Dixon (It doesn't matter who) first took their pencil to a stave. For me personally it's that explosive drum fill that grabs your attention before handing it over to that Oh so deep bass that rumbles along in perfect 4 x 4 matching time. The swirling, heavenly strings of a Paul Riser, the simple melodic piano tinkle of a Luther Randolph arrangement, the almost non existant sax note of a Mike Terry intonation that you know if it wasn't there would change the whole sound. The complicated and echoing vibes that filter through from Jack Ashfords vibraphone and tambourine, matched by the guitar virtuosity of a Dave Hamilton or a Theodore Coffey. The skillful bringing together and synchcronising of all these assets by a wondrously talented Jerry Ragavoy, Jimmy Wisner or George Kerr. Then, just when you think musically, you're the "cat that got the cream", it happens....POW! the soulful tones of a Chuck Jackson, a Jackie Wilson, a Patrice Holloway or a Linda Jones smash their way into your chest and almost squeeze the very life out of you. A Way Of Life? Maybe not.....but it sure helps put real life on the back burner for 2 and a half minutes dunnit? Luuurve it! "The Scene", it's ups and downs. It's complicated political machinations and sometimes over the top happenings simply pale into insignificance when matched by the sound of Sammy Campbell as he opens up with ................."Darlin'!................cos you know exactly whats coming next!!!! (Insert your own intro here) That's what it's about. For me anyway..no more, no less. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  24. Here you go Mate. Hope this will do it. PROPER NORVEN! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
  25. Just to let people know. All the records that were ordered from my last two lists are now en route. Last ones went out 15 minutes ago. Should be with you all shortly. Thanks for all the orders and .....ENJOY Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
