ME lol !!!!

I found 2 copies of this bootleg in Subway records in New York in 1979--they look just like the real thing--pre scanners and good photocopiers as well--suspect they were booted for the US market ? Not seen one since then--but as I recall may not be as Crisp printing--a rare boot !!! Rob

Superb, his "dark" past unveiled --I think we can all relate to something in the text-proper soulie--nice find Mike !!

Echo above with the great news we are back in the North side of the complex for the October event 5th, 6th 7th October 2012 and we have the MODERN ROOM back which was a major success from our October 2011 Weekender, the NYSC are working together with the Spa Management to possibly add a 4th room as well--early days but watch this space. The only people I am missing to contact are the Winners of the tickets from the BLUE BELL WOOD CHARITY SOUL NIGHT in Rotherham on the 23rd December 2011 you have my contact details --please get in touch to replace your tickets Thanks Rob

Interesting thread.with many good points.... However and as always 2 quotes will sum it up "You can lead a horse to water..but you can't make it drink !" & " You pays your money and you makes your choice" Rob

where I managed to smash some of his treasured 78s whilst looking through his records.....DOHHHHHHHHH ! :ohmy: :ohmy:

Dean Parish--ticks all the boxes

Pass my best wishes on to Mr Minshull & here's to a very speedy recovery ! Rob

it never ceases to amaze me how these things continue to turn up ! nearly 50 years after they were recorded !! fantastic news Ady, best wishes for Saturday night and and what must be getting on nearly 400 all-nighters under the 6ts banner WELL DONE Rob

Nice topic ,well started and some great replies ! Rob

I seen you drive Rob--did you ever pass that test ?? I went with the lads who had Cars-miners around here had tons of cash, you could also take your test at 16 in the early 70s. plus being a skinny bastard they'd squeeze me in ! This filum isn't as "in your face", Wigan Bags ,and all as SB was, low key tasters, quality sound track and the small clip that was on here recently certainly hit the spot. musical sound track sounds good too, only one thing could it be just Too Good ¹ to be commercially viable ? It would end up like a cult film -which may please us on here !!!!!! good luck Elaine-I'm sure you're lurking in the wings ! Rob

As always Mike-nice one !

Syl will be appearing "live" at the Scottish Weekender in November, if you've not seen him live i recommend you get your arse up to Dumfries! saw him at Dave Box's 60th a few years back. Is it because I'm black, one way ticket, etc sound brilliant live.....be there !

Saeyang Member since: July 15, 2009 Jerry Leiber Death: Songwriter Dies at 78 August 23, 2011 08:55 AM EDT Legendary songwriter Jerry Leiber's death at the age of 78 has left many in the music industry stunned. He was most well known for his partnership with Mike Stroller. Leiber was also a member of both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Leiber wrote such hits as Elvis' Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock and evenStand By Me, which was sang by Ben E. King. He died on Tuesday from cardio pulmonary failure. This is obviously a sad time for the music industry. Frankly, they just don't make 'em like Leiber anymore. Hopefully, throughout this sad time, Jerry Leiber's family and friends will know that his devote fans will always hold him dear to their hearts. His death is surely being mourned by many. Fortunately, Leiber's amazing gift will always be available. Along with the hits they Wrote for The Drifters....a massive loss to music along side the death of Nick Ashford-I'm sorry to say it but we're getting old folks !! RIP Jerry.

Underrated and understated the talent of Ashford and Simpson agree with all the comments above, my favourite track must be "It seem to hang on" But don't forget The brilliant "I'm every woman" soul with the commercial appeal RIP Nick sad news indeed Rob

Mike you're a diamond ! Congratulations and it continues to improve and evolve as you always say if things don't change--they stay the same. Here's to the next 14 years and the 5,000,000 mile post Rob

I 've several Irish Motown mainly mainstream hits, but a nice Jnr Walker "What does it take" also some Phily Int. stuff as well, good novilty items but any major rarities ? Where's Sean Hampsey ..........?

tHERE YOU GO mIKE JUST CLEARED 1,500 OUT OF MINE AND LEFT 25 IN

Normal service will be resumed in April 2012 I missed it like crazy.. can't wait for the German guy with the metal detector to frisk me next year and watch his face when my new knee sets his buzzer off !!! any more news on Eddie ??

Think we might have strayed off topic--feel gutted for Eddie-great guy Dj'd with him many times and a great taste in music as well.

Had free run of mine as well Ken-I didn't know either -DoHHHHH ! Ian -he was always one step ahead of everyone-you could never quite prove it ! But things would "Go missing" when he was around......... he was finally caught red handed by John Manship at Yarmouth.. a copy of Heart trouble mysteriously disappeared from a dealers box only to re-appear behind the wardrobe in his room There's a lot of it about at the moment.......... Rob

Vanished into thin air Ken--he is still talked about on the railway as "Fingers".........a born tea leaf I'm afraid .......still people looking for him ....last seen in LONDON !!!

If you didn't have OVO in Soul in the sun Barney -did the people go to the "Clap Clinic" before Clapping ?

Got any links to whats going on -my lads a Beatles nut, so may be worth a visit if I can get a "Soul fix" as well ! Rob

I went- several hours bus ride from Mansfield in those days-thing Steve & Mart went as well !! They were quite good as I remember Rob
