I'm looking for a copy of "Not the marrying kind" - Keni Lewis ??

I spoke with John Anderson some time ago with regards to the Satiron issue and he informed me that he actually pressed 500 copies, I managed to pick up 2 copies over the years but sadly sold both. Great tune though....

PM sent.

Sad to see this, i know Ted had some great records. Please send me list Jeff.

In December 2011 Middlesbrough lost a very well known & respected Soul Boy & Scooter Lad called Paul Boase "Boasey" he tragically died aged 51 with a brain heamorrage, "Boasey" was a well known figure during the Wigan Casino & Cleethprpes days and we will be holding a memorial Northern Soul Night on Saturday 31st March @ The Erimus Club in Middlesbrough in memory of Paul & all proceeds from the night will be donated to his family. I'm asking if any Record Dealers, Promoters etc might consider donating something to the raffle that will take place on the night.We have already recieved very generous donations from Ady Croasdale, John Manship, Steve Plumb, Warrior Clothing etc. Please message me for address details.

I know the guy selling these tunes, (He has asked that i keep it to myself) he has guest dj'd for me in the past at various venues that i promoted and co-promoted in Middlesbrough and Newcastle. When i got told that he was selling up i tried to get to see them but he would'nt let me, as i was wanting to obviously just cherrypick my way through them but he wants them to go as a job lot, (and he considers me a friend as well) I know that he's kept approx 150 back as his personal favs if he ever wants to play them out again, (mainly classics) I do know that the guy used to regularly get the soulpacks from soulbowl every couple of weeks in the early 80's and to my knowledge i've never seen or heard of him selling any before.

I'm sorry to inform the site but TED WHITE (Newcastle) sadly passed away this afternoon in hospital. I would like to pass on my sincere condolences to all his family at this sad time. Ted it was a honour to be your friend, R.I.P mate xxx

pm'ed you.

Trying to find a realistic value for this near mint 1981 Modern Soul Album it features the great Love Magic track on the A&M label.

Some interesting reading with regards to Motown's 50th Anniversary. https://detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/99999999/ENT04/90107001&template=theme&theme=ENT-MOTOWN

LITTLE ROSE LITTLE - YOU'VE GOT THE LOVE - ROULETTE - M- £30, It's got a very good flip side as well.

One guy tried to charge me £18 postage for an album from the states. I just refused to pay.

Looking for the following 2 record's for a work mate out here, No stupid extortionate prices please. I also have the country's No1 soul detective on the case as well. 1. Southside Movement - Do it to me - 20th Century 2. Micheal Wycoff - Looking up to you - RCA Please answer via PM with price & postage costs.

How much

Someone buy this it's agreat tune and at a good price too J.R BAILEY - LOVE WON'T WEAR OFF (CALLA PROMO) VG+ £30

Best version for me, and a lot better than the old played out Barbara Lynn version.

I have quite a few with the name BOB SLATER wtitten on the label. He was a local guy with a very large collection which he sold to John Manship i believe some years back.

Pm sent mate.

Yes, that's the one Neville. I must try and dig it out, that's if i havn't sold it already.

I had a copy of "My heart need's a break" by Brenda Lee Jones a few year's ago, can't remember the name of the label though but it was couloured half pink and half yellow. It was great version as well.

Well said that woman. I think it say's it all really. Nice one Joan

Pm'ed you mate Wally
