  1. Probably Sean Hampsey. At the time a number of us in different parts of the country were onto these new releases as soon as they appeared.
  2. Yes the "Hold on" LP was a big spin at a variety of clubs - remember spinning it at St Ives.
  3. And that's all fine and dandy and to be honest I have no truck with what Ian decides to cut and put out. Having seen his wall full of silver and gold discs the man clearly has a talent in making popular music. What I do have truck with though is this ongoing insistence on calling what he's making "northern soul". It isn't. Instead it's commercial pop music made by someone who just happens to have or had an affection for northern soul. As long as he continues to insist that it's northern soul that he is making then us 40 somethings will continue to say "Oh no it isn't".
  4. Hey welcome home Russ.....
  5. Ok so the seller is someone with the same initials as Soul Essence Hope you're well m8! You've gone very quiet.... Steve
  6. I have the 12 and I said to Sam when he played me the Pad version which he got earlier this year" it sounds like the 12". We didn't do an analysis though, too many better records to play, and my 12 is in the lock up - too far to walk. Steve
  7. got a feeling it also came out on Pad with an instrumental B side. But I am not sure. Oddball, schmodball, plenty of other things to get before I start buying booties.
  8. ...but a different mix to the released version.
  9. Yeah brilliant guitars and bangos on this.......also Ann Sexton Youve been gone too long, 7th Wonder Captain of my ship and of couse K Moses.
  10. Gotta be honest with you Honeymonster but I haven't had B&S since the early 80s, and regular looks in WH Smith in recent years had caused me to believe that it was long since exstinct. I am quite surprised that it is still going in fact!
  11. This was around in reasonable quantity in the 80's, never a common record, but not impossible to find. His other one is far rarer, but sadly not as good as a dancer, though it's a reasonably good soul record
  12. Who'se to say the other copies weren't just thrown out? I would have loved tgo have been a bin man in Detroit in the 60s
  13. Who Hucknell or the seller? If it's the seller then I would remember him as a Spurs man who changed his colours a few years ago
  14. Yeah the words "sam dees" and "football" in his user ID give it away. Taxi for a Man U fan then
  15. Yeah and you'd miss a lot of good B sides too - especially with Motown. As a kid I used to collect demos because of the "Not for sale" mystique but then had a change of heart many years ago. Now prefer issues with invariably a good deep, funk, or northern flip. Channel 3 is a case in point, as is Arnold Blair and Rozetta Johnson on Clintone.......Steve
  16. The seller is actually someone we all know Might be an idea to send him a message via Ebay
  17. He ain't that old yet! And he has an honoury exclusion anyway as he is still breaking new records.
  18. "DJs" in their late 60s and 70s
  19. Dunno why u r so surprised man - a lot of people like the sweet stuff.....specially at night
  20. A lot of these are just CD's being played, and I hear these things in my local shopping centre from time to time.... but that French Alps pairing is an interesting selection.....obviously someone there must like the moozik
  21. Glass cleaner, windowlene, T Cut - what a bunch of cobblers. Vinyl vandals more like! Stick to fairly liquid for the best results!
  22. A friendly word of advice old bean - keep the records safe until you are satisfied with what the insurance company is paying you. My concern is that you don't get what you claim, and by then the records will be in some landfill. They should also pay out on replacement value, not a value declared five years ago. I suspect your contents insurance has had an inflationary increase each year.
  23. I bet Soul Sam loves the smoke free venues too!
  24. Gloucester FM - top station according to my missus.
  25. I believe they were also The Reflection who recorded on Wand before they became The Reflections. John Simmons btw is the same guy who did solo 45 tunege. Steve
