    The 17th Hitsville Northern Soul Weekender is ON! A few restrictions are still in place in Mojacar, masks inside when not eating or drinking, max 10 to a table outsde whilst 6 inside etc but the main thing is that the venue can open to 0330 now and dancing OUTSIDE is allowed. So get ready to dance on the terrace overlooking the beach/Med. See all the Hitsville Stalwarts shortly! Dave
  2. I know it's a mute point in today's environment Dave but buying records 'back in the day' was a vastly different animal. Buying records from US dealers would usually leave a margin that people were happy with, whereas most current 'UK sellers' are now armchair buyers who are buying at retail prices. I'd given up looking in sales boxes apart from the ones I knew had gone and found the records they were selling. No point in trawling boxes of hundreds of hiked up Ebay purchases when I could buy them there myself. Dave
  3. I think the fact that no record companies, bar the two that don't partake in this practice have contributed to the thread, says a lot. Dave
  4. Hence Ace/Kent still see the colour of my money, Sir. Dave
  5. I posted this the last time this was brought up. I buy most quality new releases but have called time on the ones that employ this tactic. I've collected promos of 45s for 45 years and won't have the piss taken out of me. I don't even buy the issues from them now. They've alienated a good customer and I'm sure I'm not alone. Dave
  6. Looking for a little assistance from fellow 'Soul Sourcers' if possible Tried to contact Sidney since March but my emails are bouncing back. Does anyone have an up to date email address or phone number for him please? Any help appreciated. Regards, Dave

    UPDATE ON BENIDORM INTERNATIONAL SOUL FIESTA 29 SEP - 03 OCT 2021. Just back from a recce and meeting at The Hotel Gran Bali. The Hotel along with most of the ones in the town is open and operating, The Management are planning (as we are), for the Event to happen and are looking forward to welcoming us all back in September. No one has a crystal ball and can foretell what restrictions, (if any), may be in place come Sept but we are in a position to accommodate mo st of the numbers/real estate issues if they do happen to be in place. Spain have now ditched the wearing of masks outdoors and that's another step in the right direction. As the guidelines ease, I'll report back. Regards, Dave

  10. Unfortunately, the July Event is now CANCELLED. the Govt Guidelines beat us by 48Hours! The next planned Event is Oct 23rd. All tickets will be honoured for that date or people can contact Bev for a full refund. bevmoore@earthlink.net I'm sure people will understand and we share everyone's frustration. Stay healthy peeps and we'll see you in Oct!
  11. That made me laugh Gilly! I thought... been there, done that! LOL! I still get people contacting me asking me questions and when I say what page is it they are referring to, they usually tell me they haven't bought a book! LOL! I'm like you, it was something I needed to do, to recount the lives of people who I'd grown to love and try and relay their contributions that so many people in their hometown had missed. As the years pass by and the creators of our music also pass, I'm so glad I did it. Their legacy is there now, for all to find, forever and written by a fan. You should as proud of yourself as you are of the likes of Dave Hamilton mate. You have recorded history and done it a with an individual touch of style and panache. Well done my friend. Best, Dave

  21. Thought it noteworthy to record here on Soul-Source the passing of Mr Bruce Hawes, songwriter extraordinaire who, along with Charles Simmons and Joseph Jefferson wrote some of Philadelphia's most enduring songs. Quite a few people will probably be unaware of his contribution to that city's musical landscape but things like The Spinners, "Games People Play" and 'Mighty Love', were created by the talented trio. Bruce not only collaborated with his two close friends but also with Gamble and Huff on a number of projects. He can be heard playing keyboards on dozens of PIR outings. He also wrote a must have book on the subject of The Sound Of Philadelphia called "Growing Up In The Sound Of Philadelphia" Alongside his musical talent I found him the perfect gentlemen and one who was always happy to sing the praises of his contemporaries as much as take credit for his own endeavours. People who interview artists will appreciate that that is sometimes a trait in short supply. Ever helpful, patient with his novice interviewer and a font of knowledge he was a proper star. Bruce passed away yesterday after a lifetime immersed in music. RIP Mr Hawes Sir, and congratulations on a job extremely well done. Dave
  22. Just had delivery of my first 45 from the Site Store. Very happy with purchase, shipping and packaging. Great service all round. I'll be back. Dave
  23. I have quite a few already and am looking to expand that part of my shelves. I'm interested in any 60s releases on Motown, Tamla, Gordy, VIP. Regards, Dave
  24. Anyone got a Silhouettes LP on Goodway they want to shift? Also, any Motown related PROMO LPs? (except greatest hits or Anthologies). Dave
