He might be a prick. But he's right on one thing. Your bid is binding. He could even sue you.

Very sad news. Max was the very first UK DJ I ever heard here in Munich. Sometime early 90s. I clearly remember him for the excellent music and until then he was the first guy I ever saw wearing sweatpants in a night club

Thanks, understood. So I guess it's just a question of time until I can get Eddie Parker on MAM for a tenner

That was 30 odd years ago. But Steve mentioned "other types of soul music" and I was wondering to which he was referring.

That's interesting. What other types would that be?

That wasn't my point. My point was/is that Soul Source isn't the platform for the young ones. They prefer other ways of communication. I used to be one of the whippersnappers on here 25 odd years ago. I'm now 51 and I somehow feel I still am one of them.

Excellent choice. Been praising especially the a-side since it came out. Have no idea why it didn't go massive. Quality authentic sound. Much better than most of these recent tailor-made northern soundalike productions fetching big bucks.

don't wanna spoil your fun but I guess you won't find that many members below say their 40s on here.

Was sorting through a box of old CDs and came across one that is probably the one you mentioned. "fundraiser" CD Nancy and her then partner Simone did for the first Rimini Soul weekender back in 2002. As you say Midniters, Antellects, Chick Carlton and also stuff like Little John on Gogate, Otis Lee or Sebastian Williams on Sound of Soul. Great compilation!

Not saying Anderson Bros is clearly a boot but a kind of red flag for me is that seller made the effort to include a picture of the Frankford/Wayne stamp in the Detroit Soul auction to make it clear it's an original. Yet they didn't post any respective pictures in the Anderson Bros auction and refuse to answer any questions. It's like they knows it's a boot.

Oops, sorry I didn't know Bobby was posted before. How about this one? Dynamics And that's a natural fact/I wanna know - Big Top. Don't think this was already posted: Just 6 years older than Bobby Reed, yet both sides sound like a million years apart

Thanks for highlighting this one. I had this for decades and as it happens just played it two days ago. But only the a-side. All this time I never played the flip. Another solid Ray Pollard lead vocals track! How about Bobby Reed - The time is right for love/If I didn't love you - Bell? Both sides are ace.

Sold! BEATSTALKERS - AIN'T NO SOUL LEFT/MY ONE CHANCE TO MAKE - CBS 2732 - NM In almost spotless condition. Only one very superficial non-audible scratch. In original company sleeve 120 GBP incl. tracked from Germany to UK shipping - insurance available at cost. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can state low value on customs declaration Paypal only (F&F preferred). Any questions, please PM. Thanks!

My alltime #1 Northern tune. That intro is like a warning bell to get on the dancefloor immediately.

valid list. but I'm wondering mike terry and jerry ragavoy really qualify as songwriters? to me they were primarily arrangers/producers.

Recent worst experience: Backbeat Records in Edinburgh. A shop so crammed you can't enter. You have to tell the owner what you're after and he will carry the respective boxes outside for you to look through. Went there with my 13y old lad who'd just started to show interest in collecting rocksteady and reggae 45s using his pocket money. Told the owner what we're after. He said he doesn't even bother to show us the rocksteady/reggae boxes. That we would be after the rarities for cheap anyway. I said I'm here with my son who wants to buy some cheap 45s. He said he doesn't believe us and basically told us to f*ck off. Fun fact: apparently this shop is Ian Rankin's favourite Edinburgh record shop.
