I remember, that a friend of mine bought 3 of them at gemm. He sold 2 copies to Andy Dyson, so probbaly he still has one. The other one was sold via ebay, he got something arround $150 for it.As I don't meet him too often now, I just saw it there and than he played it to me over the phone.Pretty nice record, but I was unable to pay the price, as I was out of money at that time :threaten: , although he would have taken it out for me.

Hi Paul! I've sent a PM cheers, Martin

Sorry Gene, don't get it. It was Andy BB, who helped with the spelling, not me. Cheers, Martin

Ah! Yes, that's in the dictionary, so I don't have to throw it away. It says: "saying things that are intended to be clever and funny but are really silly and annoying" Sounds pretty like discribing me.

Welcome Godz!! But we've met already at the forum. Could you please take, I think it was Osaka, as your next town to destroy. I'm waiting 6 weeks now for a Ruby Sherry 45 from a guy from there. So it's time for revenge. thanks for your help. A pint would be on me, if we ever meet, or hopefully better not.

F***ing Hell! Paid DM 50 some years ago and this book hasn't got the words I need to communicate. But I'm a little off topic now, I think, sorry

I took it as a joke, I hope that means fascicious, can't find this word in my Longman Dictonary and again my bad english... My answer should also be seen as a joke.

Oh no! Everyone must know it, it's on JMs' Rarest of the Rare By the way, it was 700 at the price guide II. So I've lost 300 GBP because of one book! LOL!!! :fool: Martin

Hi Pete! Don't know what you should ask for it, you must know, but in my opinion it's a great 45. But this might be of interest. I bought mine about 4 weeks for $100 (I'd say EX condition), one week later another one went for $500(MINT- condition), both on ebay.

Some of the stuff I'm about to play in Nuremberg, also I'm not really sure now: Wilson Pickett - Baby don't you weep (Liberty Germany) Dottie & Millie - Nothing in this world (Topper) Mill Evans - When I'm ready (Tou-Sea) Archie Bell & the Drells - 1000 Wonders ( Atlantic Spain) Tony Clarke - Wrong man (M-S) Willie Tee - First Taste of Hurt (Gatur) Pic & Bill - Talk about love (Soul Record France) Rotations - Put a dime on D-9 (Frantic) The Marquee Review - What good tomorrow (Pacific Avenue) The Enchated Five - Have you ever (CVS) And hopefully some more, if they like it.

What??? You gave that away, I hope you've got it two times. And now please answer my question at "European Soul Scene". Cheers, Martin

That's what I thought. I fully understand that. I don't have to stay away from home for a long time to want "my" food. After Prestatyn the first thing to do was to get some german bread. Nothing against british food, I like fish and chips very much, but blackpudding was a little hard for me. But I didn't went there for the food!

Just wanted to add Toni's site, with lots of dates in Germany: Soulallnighter(Germany)

Sorry Alsion, I don't know what marmite means and Birds Custard must be something terrible to eat, so I didn't get it. My english is too bad...

JM says 200 GBP. I paid $35 two years ago for a VG+ copy. I'd say 200 GBP is too much and $35 was a bargain. I think 100 GBP - 125 GBP should get you one. They turn up on ebay from time to time, so should not be too difficult to get one, but what do I know... Martin

You could also come to Nuremberg and support some of the guys, who are also members here. If your bank manager is still feeling good, probably both events are possible.

So I'll try to give some answers for the german scene or better for myself. But I've got to say, that I'm probably not the best person to answer the questions, as I'm much younger than other german rare soul fans. For example Marc Forrest, who started collecing in the 80s, I think. Yes there is the influence from the UK scene (Speaking for myself now). I started listening to Soul Music at the age of 17, after getting interduced to this music by some Mods, Skins and Scooterists in my town. I was hanging around with those guys, who listened to Reggae, Beat, Punk and Soul. Someday one of the Skins said: Hey Martin, are you only interested in Northern Soul, now? I realized, yes, it's simply the best music for me. My first records were made by Kent and Goldmine, so yes UK influence. But I still feel influenced by the UK scene, and that's not too bad. You should hear, what our parents are listening to, terrible! But they are about the age of the older Rare Soul Fans. This year, I've been to UK for the first time. I was at Prestatyn, which also was an influence for me. I think, many germans are very interested in UK-playlists, and UK-DJs. That's why they are invited to nearly every bigger Allnighter or Weekender. Over the next 4 weeks there are about 10 UK-DJs at german events. In Germany there are simply not so many punters as in the UK, and the networks are not so good to get on records. So again, the influence via dealers from UK. The question about the own culture and identity is very difficult to answer, although I'm studying european ethnologie, and probaly should be able to make a cultural-analysis and compare them, but perhaps after my exam, or for my exam! What's better? Probably that there is no "scene politics", as far as I can see. But this has something to do with the number of soul fans, and everybody is just happy, if there is an event. We don't have to decide where to go on the weekend, normally. Martin

Yes I do agree that he also sales big money items via brooklyn-born, so he keeps this account interesting, but via grouprecords only the big money 45s (only one 45 under $50 in User-ID history). He also used to sell the Fredrick Hymes III via both accounts. For example you can have Cody Black - Going Going Gone for a tenner, and I think he won't get much more when the auction is over. Altough he gets over $40 for Cindy Gibson, which is far too much imo. And it's obvious, that there is a connection between both sellers, as the soundfiles come from the same homepage. Martin

I think, he sales or they sale their cheaper stuff via the other user-ID "brooklyn-born".

Yes, Yes ,Yes! The Wilson Pickett version is my favortie R&B sound at the moment. I got it on a german 45 last weekend and I'm playing it all the time. So if anyone wants the UK Best of LP with this great song on it let me know.

I think, the link doesn't work. Could you please give us your seller-ID.

Here is the complete information(I think): Kelly Michaels - I need him - Carla 2537

Hi Trevski! I've got one, which I'd normally wouldn't give away, but if you really need it, I would give it away. What would it be worth to you or do you have a nice trade for me? PM me or write an email. :ok: cheers, Martin

It might not win the game, but vs. Motown I have to put up this one.
