I was looking on Ebay last night at the 'ending soonest' section and suddenly it struck me that there were page after page offering repro/re issue 45's call them what you will, i knew there were a lot of these out there but had no idea there were so many, the market would seem to be flooded, some of the titles amazed me as they are pretty easy enough to locate on an original if you dig deep enough and not the big ticket items either, i'm not gonna go into the rights and wrongs here as it's none of my buisness but it strikes me that these things must be selling for them to be reproduced in such quantity? Personally i would rather spend my money on little bits and bats originals, you can find some fantastic records on several well known sites without breaking the bank, still each to their own i guess? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

First class record, been playing this one on and off myself on the old show, top tune. Mark Bicknell.

Pretty much word perfect there mate, you know it better than me and i'm married to her...lol sums it up though which ever version you quote from. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

My wife Jacqui pretty much captured the whole thing when she was interviewed for a TV thing many years ago she basically said "There's nothing quite like Soul Music....it's a feeling" and what i've read on here tonight so far everyone knows where she was coming from on that one, we are all pretty much cut from the same cloth here, we love what we do, we love what we stand for and most of all we love possibly the best music in the world, i for one am proud to be a part of this scene....it's for life i think we all know that even if we all don't agree or get on thumbs up to the scene i say. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

See Orwell thread Mr Plumb.......lol and yes very possibly The Ethics and a few others, can't wait me old mate....let's do it and don't forget 6th Anniversary show this coming Sunday with Mr Jones www.solarradio.com Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Good call with J.J. Barnes and Darrow Fletcher..........Steve Mancha could cut a tune in his day too. Mark Bicknell.

Perhaps a little before the Soul music thing started but one of the greatest voices ever of all time has to be Little Willie John, note perfect. Linda Jones, Bettye Lavette, Chuck Jackson without question, oh and Maxine Brown pure perfection and my all time favorite the late great Les Grey of Mud....dynamite!!!! lol sorry. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Spot on Sue - Full title - Johnny Bartell And The Soul Masters - If This Isn't Love - Solid State, once covered up as The Metros i think. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Dave, I'll through a tenner in the pot mate if it helps, happened to me one night mate and it hurts, don't sell your tune, i'm sure we can all help out, PM me if it helps. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Sometimes there are gremlins at work with the odd cock - up here and there, out of my control sorry, really good show coming up this Sunday with Neil Jones with the 6th Anniversary special www.solarradio.com as ever thanks for your support. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Priceless reply...lol Eggs you can boil them, poach them, fry them, make cakes with them and bugger me enjoy them coz they taste good, a simple food but always remember to cook well otherwise if a little off they can cause regular visits to the smallest room in the house....cooked well they can be perfection, soft in the middle but remember to remove the shell....lol Also keep all your eggs in the same basket.........and never yolk sorry only yolking!!! Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Normal time.....8pm through 10pm www.solarradio.com Thanks - Mark Bicknell.

6th Anniversary show next Sunday November 26th with Neil Jones....it's a blast...lol Future guests confirmed Keith Williams and Andy Whitmore...more to follow. www.solarradio.com Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Being from the South originally thought i would mention the likes of Reading, Newbury, Aldershot, Basingstoke, Banbury, Bedford etc. which were all pretty strong towns in supporting the Northern scene over the years, always remember Derek Mead's coach trips to Wigan and St Ives which picked up people in these towns...crazy days...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Perhaps the following would be top of the list....lol Detroit Chicago Philadelphia New York New Orleans LA Think about it...lol Mark Bicknell.
