Seems like the passion flows if home alone or out there with somebody...soul it's a wonderful feeling ain't it? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Be hard pushed to find a better record at that price, stunning 45. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I got a few right lol well a few more than three...poor bloke was very nervous. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Is Northern/Rare Soul best shared and enjoyed together at a venue or can you get the same out of it alone? Is there the same feeling there if you are playing records alone at home? or is the best experence had with a room full of like minded people?, I don't go to as many venues as I once did for various reasons but I still get a thrill and a huge amount of pleasure from the collecting side of things, it's nice to be able to share the music whenever possible but personally the effect is the same for me when playing tunes at home, sure the social side of the scene is very important but does playing records at the venues make them sound any better or different away from the dance floors? Do some tunes lose their impact away from the venues? personally a good record is a good record no matter where you play it IMO. From a DJ perspective it's nice to get a room full of people up dancing but do you feel you have any less passion for the music away from that situation? or is this music simply based around and dance floor driven? I just got a couple of new tunes today and had a few nice very rewarding moments playing them, is this scene and it's music about personal satisfaction or is it simply about the bigger picture? Soul music I think is a very personal thing, sure to be shared but most importantly to be enjoyed and cheerished so again does it matter if you do this alone or with somebody? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Removed as requested. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

The Monorays - Love - 20th Century DJ - Sounds so so good. Aretha Franklin - One Step Ahead - Columbia DJ Stunning flip to 'I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face' The Monclairs - Wait For Me - Sunburst. Mill Evans - Things Won't Be The Same B/W I've Got To Have Your Love - Constellation - Two class sides. The Precisions - What I Want - Drew - Awesome flip to 'Why Girl' The Visitors - My Love Is Ready And Waiting - Tangerine - Simply perfection. The Heartbreakers - How Do You Say Goodbye - Derby City - Just about as good as down tempo gets....awesome. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Fan-bloody-tastic Alan, cheers pal. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Sent you a PM Alan. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Another four which might qualify are - Skip Jackson And The Shantons - I'm Onto You Girl B/W Promise That You'll Wait - Dot-Mar The Heartbreakers - I've Got To Face It B/W How Do You Say Goodbye - Derby City The Visitors - My Love Is Ready And Waiting B/W What About Me - Tangerine The Dramatics - All Because Of You B/W If You Haven't Got Love - Sport Stunning all eight sides. Regards - Mark Bicknell

Nice link with these three gems, which fall into the two great sides but different styles camp. Sonny Craver - I'm No Fool B/W I Wanna Thank You - Teri De 007 Gody Colbert - Baby I Like It B/W I Wanna Thank You - Revue 11037 Hard to pick a winner of 'I Wanna Thank You' for me Sonny Craver just has the edge but two great versions and of course the next one holds the same backing track as 'Baby I Like It'....... Len Jewell - All My Good Lovin' (Is Going To Waste) B/W the sublime 'The Elevator Song' Pzazz 050 Len Jewell productions...well the man was a master in my book. Regards - Mark Bicknell

Jerry Williams - Now Sold. Thanks - Mark Bicknell.

Marion James - Now Sold. Thanks - Mark Bicknell.

Wonderful singer, a very sad loss to the soul music world, from his early A.F.O. release 'Always Accused' he certainly had us all dancing up a one way street......Thank you Willy. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

List revised and updated Friday 14th September, more titles to follow. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Oh dear was it? so there you go puzzle over....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Tony, there was a chap asking after this in 'Want's' a few days ago, maybe worth a go checking back just in case he still wants one. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Many records have blown me away over the years when I first heard them but one that sticks in my mind is Freddie Houston - If I Had Known - Old Town, first heard 'Keb Darge' play this back in the early 80's around Stafford Top Of The World time covered up as 'Herb Ward' I think? wow hairs on the back of the kneck time or what, just had to find out what it was, just had to get one and it took me about 6 months to locate a copy which I got from the late 'Pete Lawson', still have that same white demo in my collection today and it still does it for me. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Sorry I thought you was after one...lol still you should have no problem selling your spares fantastic record, is it around 1971/72 at a guess? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

If you have a scanner just scan record and add to a file as you would a photograph then upload on here, hark at me 'Mr Useless' when it comes to this stuff...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Try Steve Plumb www.soulmusic.co.uk he did have this beautiful record in stock a bit back, worth a try and only £12.00 with him I think? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Yes defo SU and not 54 my mistake but on first looking it did look like 54 sorry. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Julian, spot on same as mine mate, all numbers in deadwax as above same as mine, I don't think it was ever booted as a white demo, the orange ones are perhaps another story?....where's Pete Smith or JM when you need them....lol I have several Sue Demo's like this. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
