And me. Superb! Jerry Dammers know to spin a few at Crossfire. Another top lad!

No you'd get birched for mentioning that. Think there were some soundrack LP's mentioned on a similar thread, the late part of last year.

Andy you can post this in the Swaps section if you like. Or I can move it to there, which will still have the link here in Sales.

No worries. Great tune. Sadly hard to find and a four figure sum if you do..

Yes it would. Eric Lomax C/U. There is a sounclip in the old sounds section of the site /Eric-Lo...-image7540.html

It's Little Major Williams.

Never really went a bundle on the gymnastics bit, but old Keb could throw some shapes. ">

Parliaments is in refosoul (here) when all up & running.

Still sounding a lot like an EP our Ken! Ooh that's a bit whiffy!

So that's er .. an EP? Ah Rodd, at last some soulful sense!

Tom Jones version wasn't issued as a single was it?

Used to go for three figures not so long back, but does seem to have come down in price last couple of years. Tom Jones version is good, but the original's still the greatest!

Moving to All About The Soul section.

Tony Smith. Doubt Tony would part with it though, not for me to say. Don't know to many other people that have a copy. Don't think the term stupid rare would be out of place here. You could always pm him, make him a silly offer, never know?

Last heard a couple of New Year's Eve's back at Va Va Voom - spun by Tony Smith. Superb record! Good luck! End price: USD 1825 End date: 2007-09-03

I didn't like Roger Hatcher - Sweetest Girl in The World. Couldn't understand why mates had paid thirty five quid for it, which was the going rate at the time. Thought it to be repetative twee crap. However over the years I mellowed on it and found a soulfulness that I hadn't appreciated before. L Allen - Can't We Talk It Over. This took a few years to grow on me - "tell me tell me tell me" Oh give over!

Recent remix of Marvin Gaye - Whats Going On has the MLK I have a dream intro to it. Top tune! All of the above about Malcolm X is true, after the Mecca pilgramage he ceased to view white people as 'devils' - Ironic how his faith was shaken in the not quite so honourable Elijah Mohammed who fathered children with some of his followers, forcing Malcolm to go his own way to the shagrin of the Nation - Ultimately leading to his demise at their hand with some prompting from the agency. MLK also not shy of extra marital activity and branded a hypocrite by some, gunned down by lone nut assassin James Earl Ray - orchestrated (some say) directly by Hoover at the FBI who despised King. MLK - Still a well loved and missed icon. Not forgetting Robert Francis Kennedy also assassinated June 1968.

Looks like this thread could go in swaps & wants sections as well Richie?

What a great story! Get well soon Nancy.

'Hilda Woods ate my hamster' made me smile. Piano tuner's post made me laugh. Tears rolling down my cheeks! Just brilliant Neil, ah thanks for that mate. Still laughing..

I understand that mate and I wasn't knocking you. I was 15 when Wigan shut and like you I never went. Was just an observation, don't doubt a downbeat title was not intentional. It just bothers me when I see good souls sniping at each other. Some will groan and look at the ceiling at such rose tinted sentiments. However in the grander scheme of things the fanatical rare soul fan is still an obscure beast. Hats off to the Casino and the people who went to it I say! Hey you ever been to the 100 Club Rhino? Longest running nighter of all time dude!

Most of the threads I have read in this section have been along the lines of great times had at certain venues over the years or similar. I think the thread title here in some respects has lead to some of the posts I have read, which is a bit dissapointing in all honesty. End of the day I know it's not all fun and larks and Wigan was not everyone's cup of tea. EVERYONE is entitled to his or her opinion, but ALL that have posted in this thread thus far have a far better taste in this great music of ours (I'm sure) than the bloke who's just walked past my window.

Just tried to resize these and rotate by 90 for cleearer view - hope this helps ..
