I have a copy of Gary haines on Sound "Keep on going/ I want to sing". The record has a Nashville mains stamp, is it a real copy? I seem to remember there being something odd about this pressing regarding authenticity? If it is a real one what the current going rate? TIA Chris.

£300 in JMs boox although i heard of one for sale at £450 a few weeks ao. A test pressing went thru ebay at a very reasonable rate earlier this week. Chris

Hi, Can someone send me Cliffs email address please? Cheers, Chris

I do know Candy and Carl and i doubt very much anything underhand is going on. motorcitymusic has been selling records on ebay for years... They are honest people in my experience. Chris

PM`d ya... Chris

I once had this from a member of the group Mandrill....accused me of making money from thier hard work..."I`ll be seeing Jerry, Terry and Berry (or whatever their names are) tonight and the rest of the boys from the band...I`m sure they will be very interested in what you are doing"!! Told him to get lost and i never heard anything from him again. Chris

wanted for a mate... Serious buyer.. Your best price please. Chris

Probably around May time i guess. The swap usually involves about 30 people, first come first in...we usually have a theme which is "agreed" in the days leading up to the swap....everyone is welcome although the Cds should always contain quality soul, no reissues, played out stuff....just quality and something a little bit different......thats the only rule really....oh and that everyone sends out their Cds by the agreed date!!! Watch this space.. Cheers, Chris

Shocked to hear about this Dave..cant really say i counted Brad as a friend but he sure was a really nice guy every time we met him... Please pass on My regards and best wishes. Chris

Final update.

Probably about a third, same as the last time, and the one before, and the one before that;hence I didn't participate in the last one. However, if anyone want to PM their address, I'd like to do a swap of this one. ..... Very cynical Simon and you would be wrong with your esitmate...I guess only 3 or four were missing and a couple of these guys are in the process of sorting theirs out. For the record this is only the third swap and the first one was almost 100%. Really, asking people to individually swap with you is not in the nature of the swap but its up to you mate. I think you might have been better recording 27 Cds and getting 23 back with the possible promise of a couple to follow than to ask for a personal swap. It pisses me off as much as anyone that we dont get 100% complience but some guys actually have very genuine reasons why theirs didn`t go out on time. So, who is going to admit that theirs is "Still to follow"? Chris

Updated again.

Updated and some prices reduced.

Just a reminder to email all orders to chris.soul@btinternet.com Cheers, Chris

I still have a few Cds still in their envelopes but really enjoyed the diverse mixture this swap has thrown up.... So, how many did we manage to get through this time? Anyone want to tell us how many (but not who) is short? Chris

"No Way Back" L.P does not inc "Bring Back The Love Of Yesterday".It comes from "The Mighty Mighty Dells" L.P ............... First prize for spotting this lists deliberate mistake...was meant to say "Includes Life is the time"! Cheers, Chris

The refreshing thing is that even when we do get relegated we will still be a division above you next season... Get that automatic promotion in your sights and you go to jelly again!! Chris.

Hi Chris....I have a copy of this new day is dawning is the B side A side is called Thats the only way its a red lable very plain txt with no detail other than artist rec num 10149....no idea how rare but pretty obscure item I'd guess. .... Cheers DCFC....guessed its obscure but wondered how many other copies are about? Abysmal yesterday were`nt we...? I`m going on Wednesday with a City mate of mine, fearing the worst....if we aint seen that already! Chris.

Well its either another Horney Helga mark ll rubber doll from "World of sex"...or ....some cheap tabaco...?? My money is saying that you wore that last Helga doll out...!! Chris.

Seven seas records...Bobby Smith and the forward movment......a new day is dawning. Any idea of price/ rarity etc?? Cheers, Chris.

I dont know if anyone has mentioned my old venue "Bretby country club" but the night was built around midtempo sounds. In fact it turned your head when you heard something a bit faster! We lasted 4 and a half years before i got bored... At the time (1991) it was very rare to hear beat ballads at any soul nights and sounds like George Smith, Kenny Shepard, George Freeman, Kell Osbourne, Jimmey soul Clark etc were almost unknown to the vast majority of soul-night-goers......at Bretby they became big records.. I would never claim to have discovered all the records played at Bretby...Steve Smith was a major part of the success...but between us, Steve and i sure reactivated a whole lot of great semi-known quality soul music..... I remember when i first became mates with Shifty, probably around 1994, he looked thru my box and exclaimed...."Fack me...you have got a box full of enders"!!! Chris.

Hi, I have an issue E condition, both sides play nicely and look great £90.00. PM me if interested. Chris
