I have listened to the podcasts that were up and representative of Lifeline a year ago and especially listened to a Karl Heard one but I'm sorry to say I didn't like the music.

Steve I go to Germany quite a bit and have been to Hamburg etc.They seem to take their influences from the rare soul side of it rather than the northern side.There are a lot of funk and crossover records played along with r&b. If an oldie is played it's usually a rare one.... No Time/Can't Get Over These Memories etc.It is collector driven still over there and bootleg Dave has not got a stranglehold.It is quite refreshing going over there but don't expect northern soul as we know it.The equivalent scene in the uk is the gigs I go to in Dulwich....which beggars the question.Who are the upfront northern soul deejays??

Bought three sixties Blues and Souls this week inc the Otis cover one.£15 a pop.

Sir Henry Ivy is a reactivated oldie.I'm sure it was played by Soul Sam as was the Rufus Wood 2001 record at the end of Wigan.I heard James Pogson play the Sir Henry Ivy and eventually got one...am I upfront.No I think I like a good record.Im with Pete though I don't rate the other records.

VG and above copy wanted.PM Me

I have a Jamaica issue of this.Was this a boot?

It has the same label as my other Shapiro and Bernstein acetate which is Ben E Kings I Can't Break The News which is Ben E King...I found this in the UK and I'm sure it was used to try and get UK artists to cover the song.The Dakotas covered I Can't Break The News.The writing on the front is in the same style as the Ben E King acetate but larger.

Jimmy Ruffin acetate northern soul:

I am guessing this is British.Can't find anything on it but then I'm no Tamla expert.Anyone know anything about it?

I first heard Tim Brown play it on the Richard Searling show. I think he explains the background on here.RICHARD SEARLING SHOW JAZZ FM NORTHERN SOUL GUEST TIM BROWN: https://youtu.be/R2D3fibsWaY

An ex demo copy of this to trade.Looking for a Billy Hambric She Said Goodbye on Drum or something else in the same price range.PM Me with your offers.

He has written 158 on it just to confuse the novice even further.Why doesn't he write in the description.This is a seventies reissue with the green label removed and a copy of the original released label stuck in to replace it to make it look like the original sixties release.

Definitely a pinky label.I have one somewhere

Ian is right there are a load of people out there who have no interest in the history of the soul scene and just want to use them at the hundreds of Soul nights or bar gigs who advertise...vinyl....Deejays who discover these records are going to have to start covering up again if they want to have exclusives.

Here's a bit from a hippie mag.

1987 It's Shocking What They Call Me -The Game and Major Lance-Ain't No Soul UK demos 50p each. Teeside carboot Found 3 Unity reggae 45's last week 20 p each junkshop. 1999 San Francisco brand new unplayed stock $4 each....a holdall full of 45's inc 4 copies of Rhonda Davis and a copy of Melvin Elling. Gillingham about 13 years ago in a junkshop 2 acetates first was I Can't Break The News Shapiro Bernstein acetate and one called Saying Something.A version done by the Soulmates but its not them.Unreleased IBC acetate sounds like Root And Jenny Jackson.£5 each Shmon-Mr Dynamite UK Sue from Glen Henning for £12 in 1990's The Open Mind lp junkshop in Lewisham £5....but no cover.Still looking for one would pay £150 just for the cover In Crowd-Things She Says in Stockton On Tees for £4 1987 Poets-Wooden Spoon for £5 in 1988 sold it for £70 found in Leeds Also in Leeds about 40 UK Island 45s no sleeves in a tea chest outsidea junk shop 10 p each.I sold these to I think Icicle records who bought my reggae collection in 1990 or thereabouts. Turkey about 2 years ago.My Heart Needs A Break about £2 along with Barry Barefoot Beefus.... It pays to have a knowledge of all genres as you can sell to buy.

Vg or above please.Pm me.

I collect UK Psyche records from the sixties.Most of the A sides are an attempt at a pop chart hit....you can almost smell the cigar smoke of the wanna be Andrew Loog Oldham manager....come on boys you can have a hit like The Tremeloes......the whiff of cigar smoke subsides as the manager leaves after bagging his hit and the band really rock out and put down what they really want to do on the throwaway b side.

I was there......but I was there because I had to be because I could not have heard the records played anywhere else.I heard Butch play that I Wanna Know one off.Amazing record that has still not been made available to be saturated at every bar gig in the UK.It took effort to travel up there but it was the only place i could hear the rarest of the rare played out as the new bootleg shitwave had not started.It takes effort to find these records...when he was playing it you knew he probably had been on his knees in some warehouse somewhere or had to flog a few records to buy it not do a buy it now on ebay.

I have checked it out.Great music, loads of reggae.....but it is nothing different from what a hundred pubs and bars all over the country are doing and those pubs and bars are probably fuelling this "vinyl" bootleg industry because there is such a dearth in current popular culture that if you are not into banjos and mountain people beards soul,funk r&b and "vinyl" is the place to be.The passionate and time served people are being edged out by the swamp of bar and pub gigs and mass dilution.The words across the board spell dread to me everything for everyone soul,ska,latin,mid tempo,reggae by Johnny come latelys and bootleg Dave's.

I live in Forest Hill around the corner.Can you post a a playlist up of what got played yesterday.

Stephen I don't think you get it.It looks like a bar gig that the Sleaford Mods are singing about.. Ian Jackson is a great feller.I would like to have seen his face when you opened your laptop to record.There are northern soul nights called Soul On The Square and Solid Hit Soul. There is Glen with Hole In The Wall.Ann with the oldies alldayers.Walthamstow soul nights.There are numerous x over nights inc Majestic Soul and Filthy Soul run by committed passionate people who are time served and spend a lot of time and money searching and buying records. What is this gap you are filling??? ...

Heres a message from the Sleaford Mods to all the phoney deejays rinsing MoVe On Up

Great record.Mines on black as a few of my other audio arts 45's.Never been popular enough to boot.
