  1. Pleased to say there's not much in either me soul or dance/ disco collections that I've not been able to replace over the years. Its the nigly one like the Valentino's- 'sweeter' and the epitome of sound that used to sell @ 20 and are now around 150, that i cant bring myself to hand over the readies for again that bother me.
  2. oops, yes okeh, Id take a lot for a dollar but less for a pound of your engleesh pence.
  3. A quid, thats exorbinate, it'd have to be no more than ten bob for me to buy without listening, unless it looks very tasty, but then I'm a cheapskate when it comes to tunes
  4. country labels can look really similar to indie soul labels, i've been burnt a few times, but finding a piece of black magic can more than make up for it.
  5. that got a really nice understated groove, like it.
  6. getting some multi deals from one seller often helps.
  7. Buying blind, anyone still do it? has the invention of youtube made this a rare practice nowadays? as a lot of semiknowns are alrerady up on there and many clips can be found on other sources. Do you still buy blind, whata re your best and worst blind buys?
  8. cant see it at work, is it the stave Karmen add?
  9. it came out with the red A on the other side as well, that being the rarer demo.
  10. This clip on the whistle test promted me to get into the scene, a few months later I was attending.
  11. Sorry to here about this one, out of the multitude of events around Lifeline is one of the best.
  12. Its just how it should be Tony, some might scoff at some of the top 500 oldies that were played, but really nowadays how many places, in the area, can you go and hear Top notch oldies offa original vinyl, at a soul night!

  15. What a massively diverse selection of sounds there were back in that year, very ecclectic listing.
  16. good stuff guys, I'll try to post a run down of what the other collectors played, as they dont use this site, I think!
  17. In fairness there was loads more cultural pressure to do the decent thing back in the earlt 7ts. The thelma image sprung to my mind too.
  18. Am I right in saying that people tended to get married much earlier backi then which may account for the lack of late 2o somethings on the scene.
  19. Humour and serious or credible movies dont have to be mutually exclusive.
  20. Good post, there's a line between having a general feel for authenticity and adhereing to someone's personal reccognition.
  21. Doh, sorry, well two top comps I didn't know about there, this one's great too. The Ian wright connection threw me, LOL.
  22. i can remember seeeing Keb around 89, at the Brain in londons west end, he seemed as shocked to see me as he me! He opened up with some hot Rare grrove and followed the vibe into super heavy funk, they were a bunch of top breakdancers in that night, they really seemed to lap him up.
  23. vol 1 https://www.discogs.com/Ian-Wright-Fryer-Present-Soul-Spectrum-The-Mixtape-Volume-1/release/2298253 Top comp too, I wouldnt mind a copy, especially the mixed version.
