  1. Richard, I have Barbara Lynn 45, same question as Dave what's on offer? Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  2. Tommy Tate is a bargain...every collection should have one, never seen an issue listed for sale? a fantadtic record and superb flip 'Are You From Heaven' if I did'nt have a demo Pete I would have ripped your arm off mate for this one no messing....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  3. Neil, this sickens me mate and it's just one of the many negative aspects of the current scene, if anything is gonna put people off and stop them going or being involved it's this kind of crap, it's certainly putting me off, yet the single most important thing that keeps us all interested is the 'music' you can take away the venues, DJ's and everything else yet you will still have the tunes mate which I take great comfort in. I have never known so much bad blood,conflict and politics on this scene in my 31 years involved, it's a sad state of affairs, ego driven and has nothing to do with what most of us are about, it's evil. If this continues then it will be the 'death nail' of the scene, the cracks are starting to appear and I for one am getting to the stage that I just can't be bothered anymore and I'm sure many others feel the same, why the f**K should we be made to feel like this? as many of us do and can make a huge contribution to the enjoyment and pleasure the scene and it's music gives people, the negatives often pitched by people who contribute nothing of any constructive depth to the scene apart from bitter and twisted actions such as this, I've said it before and I'll say it again often those who shout the loudest have f**k all to say! they do nothing for the good of the scene and I'm sure they 'get off' by causing problems.Sure not everyone connected with the scene get's on or sees eye to eye but that's life, we get on with it and try to do our own thing. You pass comment, make a stand, offer a resolution and it get's pushed back in your face or worse! This is a total disgrace Neil and as already been offered here i will stand back to back with you on this mate no question, you are firstly a very good friend of mine, secondly you promote gigs for no other reason than the joy it brings others, you have a professional and detailed approach and always consider how to improve and better your events, the sender of this letter and it will be interesting to know if any other promotions have been singled out here? should be traced, confronted and totally isolated from the scene, funny that you are made to feel like this Neil by actions and events that had nothing to do with you in the first place, I would really like to know how and why this involves you? Regards and respect pal - Mark Bicknell.
  4. Hi Brian, welcome to the mad house lol, nice to have one of the original pioneer's of the scene here at last, I don't wish to comment on this thread as it really has no interest to me but just wanted to say hello and welcome you to SS, a place where we can share the passion of everything Soulful. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  5. Having a bit of a clear out of a few records and came across The Birds - I'd Love To on USA Sue - Orange Demo, really nice record that reminds me of like an answer record to The Miracles - 'Shop Around' backing is very similar at least, was wondering if it was that well known? pretty hard to find I would think? and is it a £100.00 record as in JM's price guide? Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  6. Four more titles added August 16th, loads more to follow so keep checking, sorry to keep bumping this list but easier to keep adding to it thaan posting new threads. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  7. I did Pete.....lol cheque in the post today mate, seems like only certain titles are moving quickly I was gonna list a 'Stolen Hours' to sell but there have been two on here this week so it makes you think? as I said in my other thread there seems to be a record mountain forming as big it would seem as 'Everest'.....Roccia I hope you can turn this around and secure your want, good luck. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  8. My lad's just turned 11 we got him a set of decks for Christmas as he loves music, adores 'The Temptations' plus all his Hip-Hop and other stuff which he's discovered for himself but I would not let him anywhere near a Northern gig until he was old enough to make up his own mind about his musical taste, I'm all for him being interested in music and will encourage that as I think it's an important part of life to discover and have a passion for music whatever style it might be? as for young kids being influenced by the parents and turning up to gigs in baggy trousers etc. patches on shirts and so on well it's more a sad reflection of the parent/s rather than the chid to be honest, let them find their own way rather than being false fed it and kind of pushed into what will only be a fad for the child rather than anything long term. I do see the other side of the coin if the young person is a genuine convert which should be encouraged but again not directed or pushed by the parent/s. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  9. Good luck with this Stevie, go with the flow and most of all enjoy it. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  10. Male Groups, Volumes, Falcons, Hesitations, Ascots, Dells, O'Jays, Artistics...tempo is not important to me as I like to lose myself in this type of stuff, preference to 60's I guess. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  11. Very kind words mate but BBC material I ain't, I think you have to have a far greater understanding of radio and a little more talent than somebody like me but it's a nice thought. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  12. I'm with Joan on this one, you will be pushed to find a better record at any value, pretty sure twenty quid should secure a copy of this belter................tune! Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  13. Sorry Steve....'I just don't know'....lol had to get that one in, never been good with British prices, quite rare I would think? Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  14. You take my point then Dave.....lol I could not think of a better final guest to have on the show, legendary guy, legendary collection...gonna be pretty tasty I think. Regards - Mark Bicknell. Ps - If you are wondering why I'm up at just after 6am? I like to do my house work nice and early nothing better than the hoover going at this time of day...I'm up then so is the whole street....lol
  15. List revised 15th August, few more reductions, list amended. Some new titles to be added later today. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
  16. Live!....are you having a laugh Mr Moore? recorded mate when we are both totally sober...lol well almost. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
