I'm looking for a favour and hope someone out there might be able to help me. Roger Blythe maybe or some other Motown anorak? Afriend of mine is getting married in a couple of weeks and he'd like 'My Desire' by The Eldorados on Miracle as one of the songs he'd like played in the registry office. I know the other side came out on a collectors cd but does anyone know of a cd with 'My Desire' on, or could send me a cd copy of the song. He'd be truly grateful to anyone who can make his big day a little bit special. Thanks for looking. Pm me if you can help. Kev

Cheers Steve. Much appreciated. What a fine record. Kev

It's been at the back of my mind for years Bob and I finally realised I'm missing out by not having a copy on the shelf. You have extremely good taste my man. All the best Kev

I've sent you a PM Cheers Kev

Bids please for this: Tommy Turner 'Lazy/I'll Be Gone' Elbam-72 -promo copy SOLD This is the much rarer copy that doesn't come up so often and I'm letting it go to fund some other buys. It's in Vg+ condition but both sides play perfectly. Some marks on the vinyl but plays loud and clear. You wouldn't be dissappointed. Some numbers written on both sides in felt tip + two X marks (see scan) If interested pm me with a bid and I'll take the first one that is near to what I would want. Paypal, cheque or cash. Free postage to the winner. Sensible bids only please.

Well done Mrs M.....another voice of reason in the midst of it all. Give Dave my regards. Hope to catch up with him soon. Kev

Jayne, This is supposed to be a soul scene, one which I always thought had a little more caring attitude and empathy for others be it Afro American singers, musicians, writers etc or people on the 'scene'. Now I know we live in a capitalist society but have you never been down on your luck? A few consessions for some people who are struggling isn't gonna break the bank of most soul clubs and god knows a few I've been to lately could do with the extra heads and income.. Excluding lower income people does smell bad to me. It is elitist in a sense and would IMO be another death knell of the so called 'Northern Scene' and no I'm not unemployed at the moment-thank the Lord. Kev

Hi Theresa I was just thinking that 'back in the day' when things weren't so good and there was a lot of unemployment it was difficult to come up with the door price at times. if you're bringing up a young family on income support-does that mean you should bar those people from an event. Always was a discount for UB40's and Students when I was younger. £10 or £20 for a couple is a hell of a lot to come out of a fortnight's benefit. Never mind the travel costs. Kev

Hypothetical answer...... Sorry mate,This venue is'nt on next month because we did'nt make enough money to pay the venue ,let alone the dj's ,infact it cost us (the promotors) £100 out of our own pockets to put it on ,so we can't afford to run it anymore We were thinking of offering a loyalty cards for people who attend every month ,the people who come here ,come rain or shine ,the people we rely on to allow us to continue ,but it got confusd with elitism and we were getting labelled the soul police,so we sacked the idea. Kev ,i could (but i won't) name someone who travels probably more miles up and down and across the UK to attend soul venues ,who has had a bloody hard time through lack of work over the last two yrs ,than anyone i know. Whom if i had my way ,would get a "key's to the city " free pass into soul venues ,but does'nt! so why anyone should travel to a venue and expect a discount because he's down on his luck is beyond me. Don't even see any relevance with two guy's who've had the notion to try and come up with a innocent plan to get people to turn out to a venue by offering a incentive.

Never mind loyalty cards...here's a hypothetical converstion on the door of an allnighter. 'Sorry but I'm a bit strapped at the moment. Gord Brown has just strangled my families' income for the 5th time in 3 months. I haven't been able to get out for ages., but I need a shot of soul and a pint with my mates.' 'Sorry Pal, discounts only for our loyal customers' 'But I've been going to soul do's since the Twisted Wheel. I used to run my own venues and charity gigs.' 'Sorry Pal, discounts only for our loyal customers' So and so will vouch for me.' 'Sorry Pal, discounts only for our loyal customers' 'Tell you what then. Let me in I've some records for sale here. When I've sold a couple I'll come over and pay you.' 'Sorry Pal, discounts only for our loyal customers you'll still have to pay the full wack.' 'But I've come all the way from Grimsby tonight (to Manchester) to see my mate Franny.' 'Sorry Pal, discounts only for our loyal customers you've got to have attended this venue, or one of our Franchises three times to claim a discount.' Hardly seems worth it IMO and it smells bad, like Soul Police and eliteism. We're heading into a big recession and peeps should fall back on helping each other NOT creating divisions. Kev

Ste When I was asking around about this track earlier in the year the opinion was that it only exists on a cd release-you could look out for-What's wrong with your love-which came out on Soul King and is very similar. Regards Kev

Pm'd you. Cheers Kev

I'd have gone for Jelly Roll Morton, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Roy Hamilton, Sam Cook, Ray Charles, Clyde McPhatter and Jackie Wilson. Kev

Everything's Tuesday followed by I'm on my way to a better place. Kev

No problem Carl. Just keep doing what you're doing. It's all for the good of Soul Music. Kev
