Was gonna put my bit in after reading the initial post but after reading yours Gash I no longer felt I had to, fucking awesome Mate and couldn't have put it better meself Div

I hold my hands up and proudly announce I am a soul snob, O.V.O. and always will be for me. I am on a very low income due to not being able to work in full-time employment and have been collecting O.V.O. since 1993 and have NEVER, nor will I EVER buy a bootleg. I wasn't even tempted when one of the local clubs at the time invited DJ's to play the first 1-2 hours anything allowed, no f***ing way, I was even against that!! I would rather sell my records to buy more than buy a few cheap boots and try to pass myself off as a DJ, I'll try to pass myself off as a DJ with the little I own!! Yours spiffingly, David (Div) Miller

Mine is the Ascots - Another Day - Mir-A-Don, been on my wants list since 1995!!

"Aisle Be There." "Dust My Groom." Seriously guys, I wish I could have made it down but too much going on here, suffice to say I wish you all a great day. Best wishes David

Shifty had one his sales list at £250, dunno how long it had been there/if it's been sold? Thought that was a good price but what is the going rate for a nice copy? Lovely choon b.t.w.

Cheers for that A.D. comments like this mean cheque's in the mail Only a few copies left people, remember £3 from every £3 issue goes to good causes

Don't know why I put this here anyway, as it's here, forgot to mention, issue #5, tribute to Al Wilson, "Most Treasured Soul Possessions", Venue Reports (Solid Hit, Southgate), An American Dream PT.2, Vinyl Reviews (Wayne Hudson & Adam Topping), DJ Debuts, 20 Questions - Kenny Burrell & much more.

For those of you who asked and missed out on issue #5 I have a limited amount now, please pm/email to order your copy. Issue #6 will be out before the end of this month and can still find space for any contributions you may want to send, i.e., vinyl reviews, venue reports, CD reviews and anything else relevant to the soul scene, ALL proceeds go to good causes David

Abslolutely Melv, it would get my support if this was the case Div

Rare Favourites, Lesser-Heard & Newer Rarer sounds , sums these guys up nicely and the reason I keep the faith with the Scottish Scene.

Andy Dennison (Edinburgh) Steve Riddle (Ridds) (Aberdeen) Des Crombie (Aberdeen) Malcolm Dunn (?) Alan Paterson (Aberdeen) John McDonald (Dundee) Already top DJ's in Scotland but really should be heard more UK wide.

Otis Brown - "W.Y.W." (Ole) Difosco "S.L." (Earthquake) Cheers
