Yep, That's what I do too. The US postal system is actually quite good in relation to the UK one. Lots of choice, Another way to get round the travelling thing (my post office is about 19 miles away!) is to put one Priority Mail package in with the rest and they come pick it up!! Yippee! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com sorry - 10 miles!! Sheeesh! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulcub.com

Then he's losing money... or adding it to the price of the 45s.... This week I paid 5.05. for 1 x 45 to UK. Packed in a professional mailer with two cardboard stiffeners. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hey Craig, Thanks for posting the info and scan. I love old useless info like this. It's stored for later use. Great stuff. . Agree with Ken about the 45 though. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Ah Well, there's the lunacy of it all eh? I had one in a sales box for over a year at 300. (Issue). Finally went for 180. Can't see anyone shelling out 750 for a LJR issue. Anyone? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Best thing I'veseen on here for months! Fantastic! Can't stop laughing now!! Make no mistake, that's exactly how "normal folks" see soulies too! BRILLIANT! Thanks for posting it, it made my morning... Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Check the Tuff copy. It was heavily bootelgged both on Yellow Demo AND issues if I remember rightly. Alos I have something in the back of head telling me that there's an original YELLOW Demo too. (Anyone confirm?). Value of a LJR original issue? I would value it at around the 200 mark. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

In todays climate, sounds about right. One of the toughest (pun intended) White Demos around in good nick. I've only had two in 30 years. Was booted on the yellow label lookalike demo I believe. The W/D is either not around or staying in people's boxes. Issue I would say is MUCH easier though. Regards, Dave ww.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Stay Happy! Regards, Dave www.there'sthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Looks like someone's had this away now. Isn't this the same copy as was up 18 months ago? Great record. Wonder who 'pilfered" it? Anyone? Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Really enjoying this....still 40 mins to go....great female segment last 15 mins, some of my favourite femme soul in amongst them inc: Barbara Mason Betty Swann Karmelo Brooks Rose Brooks Darlene Love Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Quality! I was compiling a list of Motwon Demos for sale yesterday and took time out to play a few. This one went back on the shelves! (As did a few others). Great soulful vocal by the big man. Kinda sums him up for me. Nice friendly, considerate guy with a big heart who is still sadly missed. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Now sold. Thanks.

Please note Connie Questell has gone!! (Did I drop a bollock again?) Dave

Hi All, Some will already have this info but here is the post from another forum from the sister of John Lucas. She says...: "I have talked to Richard Popcorn Wylie about the Mighty Lover song, and he agreed that it was indeed The Mighty Lovers group (Popcorn gave them that name.), who recorded that song. It was later, that the same cut was re-issued under the name of the Ideals. I can definitely say that the voice of the bass singer on both the Ideals and the Mighty Lovers is John (Luke) Lucas, and the lead singer on both the Ideals and the Mighty Lovers is in fact none other than Lloyd Robinson". Kinda from the horses mouth type thing. Hope this helps. Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Back in 77/78 I was involved in running a club called The Concorde Soul Club in Burnley. A small back function room in a pub with a dancefloor we used to have to clip together each time we used it and pack it away after. This club ran for 3 years and at one stage we had over 200 soulies in. Every week we had either Sam, Pat Brady or Richard Searling on. On the second anniversay we had all three on and when it came to pay them (10 squidleys + petrol), I informed the three musketeers that I'd spent all the takings on 16 Magnum bottles of champagne, 200 Hollands meat pies and a couple of barrels of peas for a "soulie supper" for everyone! Sam's response.."make sure I get at least one pie, I've not eaten all day!" Not unusual for Mr Barnfather to trek up to Burnley on a Wednesday night in his old E Type,spin a few, get a reaction, have a chat with everyone before heading home at midnight. Happy Days! Top Bloke! Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
