How would someone new to the music/scene know if it was obscure or not?

I was thinking exactly the same, he'd look a right tw*t at an all-nighter he looks like he's got false legs at times. Some good moves though.

Presumably at RCA's pressing plants, R = Rockway NJ, I = Indianapolis & H = Hollywood (Flynnies site does have it's uses )

this must be 4th or 5th topic about this on HERE and others in the pc audio and web forum

Hadley told me 4 members, all from Luke Airforce base. Found the topic does anyone have the photo they can let me have a jpeg (decent one) of please?

Yes they were all serving in the same airbase, forget which one as I've lost the e-mail when PC went t*ts up while back there is already a cd out of Hadley's productions https://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/...ley+Murrell.htm I'll dig it out as for some reason seem to remember more tracks on it than is listed there, probably wrong mind

I was in touch with Hadley Murrell a little while back. He couldn't remember the names of the group apart from James Mitchell, all now dead apparently. He told me at the time that there will be a cd out in the near future with 4 or 5 unissued tracks from the servicemen. The Servicemen were from Phoenix. Magicians West Coast aren't they. The info I got from Hadley Murrell is in a previous topic, I can't find it so maybe one of the mods can?

never came out as the Magicians did it?

looks original to me but don't both boots and originals have th "H" stamp. Boots are beige/brown, got a boot kicking about here somewhere.

dunno, not looked, presume there's some. Search site then refine to refosoul.

some records have been overpriced for various reasons for a long time and may just be falling back to the price levels they should be at. There are that many records for sale now like has been said you can't shift or buy them all. Big ticket indemanders still fetching good prices (whether worth it or not). Many collectors don't even use e-bay, they have decent network of trusted dealers who will sell to them at the right price.

no mate got plenty to keep me busy

here's an uplifting story for a Monday...... There was a man who lost one of his arms in an accident. He became very depressed because he had loved to play Golf and do lots of things that took two arms. One day in his despair, he decided to commit suicide. He got on an elevator and went to the top of a building to jump off. He was standing on the ledge looking down and saw this man skipping along, whistling and kicking up his heels. He looked closer and saw that this man didn't have any arms at all. He started thinking, what am I doing up here feeling sorry for myself, I still have one good arm to do things with. There goes a man with no arms skipping down the sidewalk so happy, and going on with his life. He hurried down and caught up with the man with no arms. He told him how glad he was to see him because he had lost one of his arms and felt ugly and useless and was going to kill himself. He thanked him again for saving his life and he knew he could make it with one arm if that guy could go on with no arms. The man with no arms began dancing and whistling and kicking up his heels again. He asked, 'Why are you so happy anyway?' He said, 'I'm NOT happy ... My balls itch

I'm off work, been off over twelve weeks with my elbow, another two or three before I'm back so making the most of 'em now

I was a newbie pretty much the same time as you Joan, maybe a year or so later I think but I don't really remember having any trouble. I started going to nighters with some established "soulies" from the Chesterfield and Mansfield area, Tats & Rob Wigley, Graham Manlove, Alan Gibbons etc and was pretty well looked after. Got to know the elders of the scene pretty quickly and started collecting more or less straight away so was never out of the record bar at nighters. I went somewhere every weekend both Friday and Saturday, usually a soul night followed by a nighter. Generally I treated people the way I wished to be treat and I showed repsect to those who had been around, didn't shoot my mouth off (I'm not that type anyway ) and i listened and I learned. I was never afraid to ask a question no matter how trivial and found most more than happy to help. I certainly wouldn't have insulted long standing soulies claimed back then to have known more than they have forgotten, I'd have been done over Imagine telling Pete Lawson that As for Pete, never had a problem with him, finished up a good mate. He gave me the odd bollocking, usually when I asked for the rare stuff records don't have to be rare to be good he would say, how true! He got us out of the odd scrape or two, paid for taxi's back to Chesterfield from the odd place, returned the favour etc etc..top bloke sadly missed.

Hi Mark, as I said earlier, after the LaBeat review I did I was again asked by Dave to review the Falcons release. Gladly accepted and was given a copy at Lifeline, hopefully the review will be done very soon.

discussed previously HERE

I'm in the process of doing a review of the cd for Soul Junction. It features the period in the Falcons history that featured Sonny Munro: the Lupine & Big Wheel recordings plus some Sonny Munro solo outings and some unissued stuff from the Falcons and Sonny Munro.

Win, it's not just this topic. he's let his mouth run free when he's admitted (eventually) he doesn't know what he's talking about with regards to records and venues. Not only did he say to Jock that he'd forgotten more than Jock will ever know he also insulted him, he also spouted off at other members, does he expect them to sit back and take it? Beeks should like Pete say learn what he can say and to who before letting his mouth run free. He's told us all how it should be done when he doesn't have much of a clue how it's being done in the first place?

exactly, he's trying to change a scene he seems to know little about venue wise. And insulting people who have, to quote Beeker himself... "forgotten more than he'll ever know" is just not how to go about blowing away some cobwebs as he also says.

No one knows your pedigree though, thats what Mak is getting at I think. You claim to have vast knowledge, 30,000 records yet don't know Ruby Andrews? C'mon even those with no knowledge of records knows Ruby Andrews yet you with your vast knowledge didn't. Some things just don't add up with you and thats what's making some of us sit back and wonder, some out loud. You "young 'uns" as you call yourselves crave respect on this scene, that has to be earned, you have to start by showing a bit of respect too

Beeks has caused most of the trouble no offence like

does someone force those who find topics (not just this topic but any so called boring topic) to read them? NO!! If you find them so boring go and read or do something else.

like you say Pete each to their own, I'd just sooner use the money towards records I can afford and play the ones I can't afford off cd. Trouble is after twelve weeks on the club (sick) with my elbow I can't afford any
