It was me that requested it at the 100. I'd been on at him for a while to play it. There was one in Sales a couple of weeks back - 400 Euro's ... It's called 'A lovely Way To Die' btw..

That matrix number's looking a bit dodge mate. If you don't mind me saying so ...

You know full well H. And don't tell me you ain't a fan of that mid-tempo stuff.

Why a short read Ken? Stafford was ground breaking, pages worth. Think Arnie's on to something.

Hi Rocky, Welcome to Soul Source. You might want to post these in the Ebay Sales Section of the site, here /index.php?showforum=28 If you could post an intro in the intro section, as is customary, that would be grand.

What a storming bargain, this must go today! Had to post dollar bills to the states, not so long back for this. Superb track. Must get me some nsc tickets..

I know and we've said he was very talented for the music he created and very much a shit for knocking Tina about. But the two are different things, was the point.

Being a wife beater doesn't make the music crap. It is possible to appreciate the music created, whilst despising the wife beating. What's better Ike, his faults, his music? Or to have stayed away and never made any music? Tina Turner's level of superstardom is down to a number of factors. Talent and hard work, clearly being a couple. That effort and her history of abuse in a country like America, made her what she is today.

Shifty had a VG+ copy not so long back, sixty quid I think. Long shot, but might be worth sending an email. ravingmadrecords@aol.com

Sad news indeed. R.I.P Ike Turner.

These kind of questions are best asked in the Members Feedback (Tech Area) Section. Welcome to Soul Source btw, perhaps I could ask you to post an intro thread in the intro section, as is customary. Thanks.

Does come up on Ebay from time to time. Demo went through a couple of weeks ago for £440. We had a thread on this in Box not so long back.

Agree with that. Disagree with that. This it the Otis 'Lest We Forget' thread. Not the Otis was crap, this lot were better and here's the reason why thread...

According to Popsike this actual copy sold on Ebay on the 9th of October this year for £1834.

Idi Amin was a regular at The Highland Room! But seriously, the chap from The Antiques Roadshow, Eric Knowles? Big into Northern. Not forgetting our own Stuart Cosgrove (Director of Programmes Ch4).

Maybe worth starting a thread in here (Sales) Ian. As for the rest of it, off to Look At Your Box. Topic moved.

Seem to remember hearing him say similar. Big for Dave Abbott. Fantastic tune.

Treat you to the opportunity of being the first bidder? Why most certainly!

No reason for you not to have both now!

That's and absolutely storming record! Infact I think there's on on Ebay at the moment ...

Nice one Mark. Wishing a very Merry Christmas and a soulful new year to all of our members, on behalf of the Soul Source team. And just for Kirsty (as we wheel this out every year). The Drifters!

I would definitely rank him in the top three. Flanked by Sam Cooke & Jackie Wilson. I remember watching one of those Atlantic documentaries with Otis Redding's brother, recounting how Otis used to win the local talent contest every week. And due to segregation his (white) manager Phil Walden used to listen to the show in the car parked out front. Booker T saying how he played piano on Otis's audition 'These Arms of Mine' at Stax and was concentrating more on listening than playing. Still an awesome track imo. Rogers Redding was in tears by the end of the interview and Phil Walden said he had contemplated suicide and still cry's over Otis Redding, such was the shock and the loss. Very sad. Who else could have turned Hippies on to Soul? Sad that he never got to hear 'Dock of The Bay' finished. Last words to Phil Walden "Gotta earn that dollar" ">

And now we have one, thanks.

Topic re-opened. If a thread is closed by the topic starter, a brief explanation as to why is always good.

A lot of this was orginally covered in >Billy Whizz's Feb 06 SWONS thread< On balance, think it's worth the watch.
