Anyone having trouble editing posts? No idea what all those break marks are and I can't change font or add smileys. Anyway - yes Chris, American.

Musta missed his Northern one Alan - Nope!

As per request here's another Sunday picture quiz. Just a bit of fun so feel free to join in - no shame in having a punt. As usual our mystery person is a non-soul related artist who has had at least one tune played on the Northern Soul scene. I'll take questions to which I can answer 'yes' or 'no' - and will provide extra clues if we're really struggling. Here we go then. This guy had a couple of substantial hits that he's better known for than the any Northern connected material

They seem to be all over the net like a rash, so not rare. According to one seller they're 1980s reissues No idea why the misspelled name though.

Labels use Youtube to promote their stuff. Even "He who must not be named" does so. If they want they can request Youtube to remove it and away it goes. if you send an MP3 to ten friends and they send it to another ten you soon have a bunch of people who can burn the track to CD, sling it on their iPd and so on. The label can't come round to your house and take it off your harddrive. All those people who have a good quality MP3 are not likely to buy the track. Those who can access a low quality version on Youtube are a bit more likely too. That's the logic anyway

Fair enough Carms Just better to do it like this to spread the word.

That's an MP3 of a contemporary artist's work. Not on really

He was called Jason. Died about 10 years ago.

Quick bump and scan added. Maybe someone into early R&B sounds like this may be able to help. Any ideas? Ta Paul

Duplicated post sorry. Cheers Soul Shrews by the way

PM sent re; £15 copy Ivor. Ta Godz

Hiya Vince Why don't you indicate the price you're willing to pay mate? If it's a fair bit below book then it's not likely that you'll miss a bargain, plus you won't have to bother with all those contacts offering it for more than you think it's worth? Just a thought

Last essay is doing my head in so I've decided to take a quick break. Got a copy of 'Pounding' by Lee Maye on Cash. Over $700 on popsike and I'm pretty sure I've got some kind of repro but can't find much info. Spot of help guys and gals? Don't worry if you can't answer till later by the way. I'll be up until tomorrow morning the way things are going at the moment.

Great radio!

Great story Tony. Always fascinated to hear about records that crossed over between Soul music and Jamaican scenes. My first proper purchase will have been in late 1975 when I started going to Wigan as a 15 year old. After a couple of months messing around buying pressings I took the plunge and paid £8 for Maurice Williams - Being Without You. I recall it was a combination of milk round wages and saved up dinner money when I sneaked home and ate jam butties

I got one. It's a bit bashed and has got a number stuck on the label with one of those dymo things but it plays ok. £6 all in inc postage if you want it.

Sold now thanks. Last week a promo copy of Robert Parker's superb Nola offering "I Caught You In A Lie" went for £161 in auction. I'm willing to let my copy go for just £60 + 1.80 for recorded delivery and I'll pay the paypal fees. John graded his copy at Ex+ As he also uses M- I'm not sure what that means. I've graded this copy conservatively at VG++ There are a couple of very light surface scuffs and a small label mark on the flip as seen in the scan. You can judge how it plays from the clip and I've included a couple of seconds from the run-in so that you can hear that there's no noise on the dead wax. If interested PM me or email this address which is also the one for paypal: mistergodzilla@yahoo.com Cheers Paul nola738.mp3

BOBO? Didn't know he was on here.

If you believe some of the recent threads it's more like Separation, Defamation, Litigation and Extermination

They're not taking our cows as well now are they

I thought it was a tribute to the rather marvelous film "In the Loop" where Malcolm Tucker's side kick Jamie says: Ohhhh, if it isn't Humpty Dumpty sitting on a collapsing wall like some useless egg c*nt

Sent a PM you but you don't seem to have read it
