Was told just now by the manager of our post office that there will be a nationwide strike on thursday, friday, monday and tuesday - they might deliver on saturday. Don't know if this official news yet. They'll certainly have bulging sacks on wednesday if thats the case.

£200.

It is rare. I've seen two, though I thought it was one. Tony's got one. That makes 3. Seen more Magnetics than that!

From memory - after Just Bros is Jimmy Helms - You're Mine, You; after Diane Lewis is the Del Rays (think it was something like Your mama was Right), I got confused because it was meant to be Rosalind but on my record the labels were on the wrong sides! (This was on my sales list today)

Thought that might make a few people sit up

Paul surely there is a way of unlocking them?

https://planetrecords.podbean.com/ Had to split this as it was about 70 minutes long: the first part features things like Ray Agee, Linda Queen, Soul City, Devotions, Marion Stewart etc., the second features Elliot Small, The Commands, Diane Lewis, Don Ray, a couple of unissued tracks and some good underplayed oldies. Something to listen to on a boring monday! The other podcasts are now working again. Two ska ones, two featuring serious Northern rarities and a brilliant old Wigan Casino tape as well. You can also use the website to listen to them www.raresoul.co.uk but the most recent ones aren't on the Planet site, only the podbean site at the top of this message cheers Pete

I do!

Well they took down all 250 of my uploads and banned me from the site mate, think I'd have to be in disguise to get on there now

You're right, the music is really terrible and the dancing ain't great either

(cough) I meant for a white demo (cough)

No shit Sherlock

40 quid?

That Leeds 45, I've found two of those round here! Had one on ebay last year but was very disappointing, only went for about 12 quid. It is rare - just hard to sell

lOOKS LIKE ITS BEEN AROUND A WHILE, THESE TWO AREN 'T SHUFFLING OR STOMPING THEY'RE JUST JUMPING! Download Video

This was a great thread from the beginning of the year - if anyone is out late and wants to chill out when they get home, have a listen to some of these rocksteady sounds!

Now that IS weird because I got this one last week and I thought it was the copy I'd sold a couple of months ago!

No, and the only reason they out it out on soul fox was because they got hold of the instrumental - all the vocal versions were b sides on those pressings. I didn't notice the missing artist thing for about 2 months! But I've never seen anything like it before. Maybe they either used a slightly different pitch lettering or the typesetter just forgot!

Look closely!

If you were on the scene back in 74/75 you'd have killed to get on the dancefloor to this, one of the greatest northern dancers ever. I only play it maybe once every 3 years but I don't half enjoy it.

I can sell you a mint one of those if you want one still

Jammy git, where'd you find that? No issues spotted as yet I think, and the one I had was on styrene too.

The track they put up there was pretty terrible I thought, but on the whole, I love this stuff. Been exposed to such a lot of it lately due to downloading all 52 epsiodes of Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour.
