Neither. And certainly never those flimsy envelopes, which offer zero corner protection. For most standard orders we use Defenda’s Musicmax mailers with two of their extra rigid stiffeners. We ship a lot of vinyl from the shop and send it around the world without issue. For more expensive items or shipments of 3-5 albums we use the deluxe mailers from Covers33, which are essentially their version of Whiplash mailers.

Just seen from Ramsey Lewis. RIP Isaac “Redd” Holt, drummer on many of my all time favourite records from The Ramsey Lewis and Young Holt Trios. I guess for many people on here California Montage will be the big Young Holt Trio tune but for it’s got to be this killer. Rest easy Redd.

I think some of the fairs in the Northwest were definitely playing to the growing NS crowd. I remember loads of popular Motown of the time being played: Two Can Have A Party, Needle In Haystack, Wherever I Lay My Hat etc) but also Festival Time and stuff like The Kid and Condition Red, which sounded awesome coming out of the powerful, bassy systems. The last two still trigger the sights, sounds and smells of the fairground whenever I hear them.

You mean you’re hoping for Footsie, right? Kidding Mick!!

Warner currently own the Pye/PRT back catalogue.

Image of die cut sleeve that these 45s come in.

Maybe not soul music connected enough for this thread, but I enjoyed "Dolemite Is My Name" - the Rudy Ray Moore biopic. He made a few cracking soul/funk/R&B records amongst all the blue material though!

Motown and related Box Sets. These are all genuinely Near Mint. No warps, scuffs and the Tempts 45 was checked and plays without faults. These boxes came from the estate of a late collector who was a customer of ours. Not a DJ and really took care of his records. I have no way of knowing if the downloads work.

An amazing singer songwriter, astonishing vocalist and a lovely human being. Saw her play at Glasto with a terrific band including Mick Talbot on keyboards. I chatted to her occasionally online and she was kind, funny and smart, with some great stories of the music business. Reach For The Truth would be one of my Desert Island Discs.

Thanks for all the advice guys!

Hi all Just had a set of Motown 7s boxes come into the shop. They all look superb but I recall reading about some issues witha couple of the early ones. Can anyone advise which volumes/discs had the problems please? I'd like to avoid hours of internet searching and/or playing through both sides of all the singles if possible! Thanks in advance
