Just have a think how much you'd sell them for then offer me half that amount, something like that. pete.smith@freeuk.com

I'm way behind you lot, I've got a WD to list here and I was going to stick 125 on it!

I'd say £75 was too much!

Sorry, have to disagree, I wouldn't want to hear Rose Batiste every week but hearing it once every 6 months would remind me how great it is and how nondescript some of these emperors new clothes records really are. It has the power to blow almost anything away in a one-to-one contest therefore it was a really good example.

No but I wasn't being funny - that's exactly what it did sound like!

Country Road is a fantastic record but it ain't better than Hit And Run in a billion years!

Just sounds like a dull Blaxploitation movie soundtrack item to me

...and it's STILL better than any "funky Northern" record

Latest additons and new arrivals are all here... https://www.rare-soul.com/wordpress/ sound now added to about 500 items so far thanks for looking Pete

Well it's his record and he's not exactly known for being a spendthrift! Anyone paying more than £500 for a despenza copy must be mad.

I mentioned this to Mick Smith, who for a long time had the only known Wand copy, or one of only a couple, and he reckons around £800.

Three weeks is a bit too long. Last few of mine have all taken 10 to 14 days.

Morning everyone, just wanted to let you all know that the upload of soundclips is continuing, about 300 are up now, the majority can be found at the three links below so if you've got a spare half hour you can have a listen to a lot of tunes. I've tested 75% of the clips and they all work on internet explorer. Those are all Northern Soul and R n B tracks. https://www.rare-soul.com/wordpress/?category=1 https://www.rare-soul.com/wordpress/?category=1&page_number=10 https://www.rare-soul.com/wordpress/?category=1&page_number=9 also, most of the ska and reggae 45's have soundclip now as well https://www.rare-soul.com/wordpress/?category=6 thanks everyone Pete

Yes, I have, and other oddball ones like the Prince Charles Investiture (sp.?) LP and the Hastings Girls Choir one as well. Bizarre stuff.

Hi Folks, I've started to add soundclips to the records on the website, though there are 900 items on there now so it may take me a week - I've only done a few so far but the problem I have is that some of them work perfectly, but others show an error message. Could anyone have a test of the page, try a few, and if you can work out what the problem is maybe let me know? https://www.rare-soul.com/wordpress/?category=1 that's where the first ones are anyway **** It was all down to commas and apostrophes in the file name! Right, by the end of this coming weekend there should be over 500 clips up on the site so please keep checking back, I will go back to the start and beging with the letter A though just so I know where I am! cheers Pete

Went to see Toots about 4 years ago. He turned up 3 hours late. Lost all respect for him after that, he'd stayed in London to do a radio interview. Only half the audience were left...

Tony, I've got one, but I'm not sure if it's real or not; I know there was a second boot done after the cream one with green lettering but not sure how you tell. Photo enclosed.

When I was still in Hastings I found 2 copies of this on a South African label, can't remember the name but it was a red label, both mint, both in the same shop. Strange the things that turn up.

$80 is £50. I'd take £40 for mine if anyone wants it.
