VG++ or better condition. Thanks.

Ideally after a Brunswick 1st press in ex condition. Would consider vg++ and or Coral at the right price.

Yeah I saw that. Manship has one at 250 also. There’s a demo in the US of A ex for 150. Holding out for a reasonably priced copy from the UK.

Demo or issue wanted in VG++ or better. Thanks.

Preferably an issue, VG++ or better. Thanks.

That's put me off my lunch. Sickening.

Welcome to Soul Source.

In VG++ or better condition if possible please.

Remember great nights at the Fleet around 84/85. Dave Evison playing - 'All your lovins' gone to my head' and Danny Everard playing 'Soft Walking' & Soul Joe Clements. Remember getting the Northern Soul Story 1 LP from Rob Smith at the Fleet a couple of days before it was released. Every hand clap to Freddie Chavez in those days. I had EASC, Central England and Dedicated memberships. By then we were going to the Three Cups in Chelmsford (DSC) with Tony Clayton on a Sunday night. Thursday nights were at the YMCA in Duke St Chelmsford. Another Dedicated do that I think Scottish Mick Love might have something to do with? I do remember hearing the bomb scare plotter did a bit of bird for his exploits? Also enjoyed a frantic time on the terraces apparently, as did others. Great days. Who ran the short lived Ivo Nighters in St Ives? Heard Pyramid for the first time there. Best record ever made.

We have been referring to him as 'Sir Richard Searling' on this here fine site for many a year. So of course he deserves it! Those are my thought Siss. What were your thoughts for thinking otherwise?

Exactly my thoughts. Shocked and saddened. Thoughts are with his family. R.I.P Winnie.

Hi Graham and welcome to Soul Source. Unfortunately you can't be Tyrone Davis and turn back the hands of time. If you could, we could go to the Fleet in 85' and dance to the kind of music you are talking about - one after the other. Times have changed and newer sounds have come along. Though as someone has already said, if you're at a do and you hear the right beat, you should rise up out of your seat and dance. On the point of playing cd's at do's, well if we allowed that any Tom Dick or Harry would be up there and it would all turn to crap in five minutes. If I'm paying fifteen quid to get into a nighter, I want to hear some rare and obscure original recordings. In conclusion though mate, it's a nice problem to have, for soul music I believe (Northern or otherwise) is the best kind of music there is!

R.I.P Aretha. A unique soul talent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XESo86WgOrE

Twenty two hundred pounds in three days! What great pals John has and big thanks to members for their generous donations. £285 off £2500 target as at now. I hope he'll be upstanding and avidly dancing again soon, but at least this will help in the meantime. Thanks again.

Wanting to raise awareness for a wheelchair fund for John Silvester. John had a bad car accident not long back and has lost the use of his legs. His crappy NHS wheelchair is a real discomfort and a pain. We're currently 575 sheets away from.... Tap to view this Soul Source News/Article in full

Was en route to a Yellow Pages ad sales interview in Surbiton in Surrey in the late 80's. I popped into Oxfam in the High Street beforehand and managed to pick up a copy of Ann D'Andrea don't stop lookin'. Like Dayo's scenario in post # 1, it was the only decent record in the shop (and yes, still got it).

Backdrops and one black glove wearing came from Alvin Cash & the Crawlers performance at the Wheel in 67'.

Yes looking on the bright side, maybe they'll go the whole hog and have a dab and be talking bollix outside about Troy Dodds b sides at 4.23 am (chewing). :-)

Levanna love, best not show yer face again eh (ever).

Everything on hold.

This was the Soul Source view 7 years ago;

We were at the top of the Rockefeller Centre in New York last November and happened upon on a couple from Cleethorpes. They were amazed at our gushing admiration of their town and as I made mention of Mablethorpe, the chap said "that's one word I wasn't expecting to hear today". I've had some great times at the 6TS Weekenders over the years and I do hope they continue perhaps with Ady in the consigliere role? Lastly and if I've stroked my chin correctly, didn't Sidney sing lead vocal on (The Serenaders) 'Two lovers make one fool'? Maybe he could add that one to the list. If poss like..
