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.
