I've mainly found the rare soul friendly and welcoming...well apart from being punched in the head on the 100 club dancefloor 300 [is that a mis-type] odd years ago while I was dancing and a guy charging off the the floor of the ritz demanding to know why i was staring at him about 200 years ago [could be a mis-type as well]. dean

Roburt I add on royal mails demands and the cost of new packing...this isn't even asking me at all just saying free!

Hi Chaps, Anyone else have this problem, Orders going straight back to the buyer without any p+p added! Anyone know how to get rid of this? many thanks for any help. dean

OK northern is a subculture not a type of music: most of it is but it is too varied. I found as teenager that liking soul and reggae was not only to my taste, but got you girls if you could dance, while heavy metal, pop, or glam didn't so much. Hormones rule! Later I discovered jazz. I noticed later in the eighties in Manchester that the Wheel chappies where much more open minded to new soul music, and a wider selection of black music, than some of the Wigan chappies though if you listen to the recent thread on the Wheel sounds that is slightly incredible. The record collectors on the balcanoy at Wigan [I never went despite being offered a lift] kept northern alive in the 80's while the Mecca boys moved on a bit. All this is generlisation. Why all this debate about pop music? Go listen to a Candi Staton record: deep or dancer and clear your mind. Just a few thoughts and hello to Steve Tulip. Right the morphine has kicked it in now I'm going back to bed. dean

You can take the boy out of soul but you can't take the soul out of the boy. dean

You've gotta have The Tempts on UK: loneliness made me realize/I need a love I can see. You can slap it on unmolested by the fuzz pot fanny's when a few ales the shinier. dean

Been selling records for 30 years...heavily bootlegged in the past. Originals have very specific run out notation and a unique [and slightly odd] type face on one letter on the label. Don't ask me to describe these just now, endless hospital visits, but I know you love a good run out groove on SS so I will try and find it out the shelves. dean

Lots of bootlegs...very few real ones. I have the only genuine 12" copy on discog. mint £200
