Chalky

Very interesting in deed!!! Can only agree with Grant and Brian, internet a great source for on the spot info and a place to talk b*******!!! :-))) Still like to buy the fanzines and not everyone embraces technology so still a great source for useful info. Also fanzines deffo better reading material when on the throne (unless you happen to have PC there too) :-))))

Oops forgot to log in Chalky

Hi Grant, I know you wasn't have a pop so don't worry :-) Yarmouth, now they were good weekenders!!!! Great venue and some great artists, still got most of the flyers etc. Totally shite with lyrics so not much help there to you, sorry ;-) Will try and sort summat with the instrumentals for you.

Testing... Eddie and Jimmy Burns

In admit there is some shit played Grant, always has been always will be. I admit I don't want to hear the likes of Frank Wilson at all wjhen I go out. Heard it enough over the last 20 years. I do agree there is some great forgotten oldies and some great cheap stuff beggin to be played. Butch is my fave too, always has been and me too haven't liked everything he's played. He did play an instrumental a while back but can't for the life of me think what it was. Not heard him play the Jean Wells instrumental either in a while. Think the Soul-Ins instrumental needs playing too (and this from someone who doesn't like them). The Soul Ins is the backing to Katie Briggs "Last Time Around". Not an oout and out dancer in the like chaumonts and Frank Foster but it did create quite a stir at Sheridans. Andy Dyson just picked an unknown instrumental up too, again forget what it's called, will get the details next time I'm there. As forr "Up North" spend most of my time down South as thats where my girlfriend lives, I only come home in the week.

I did hear or read somewhere they were claiming they are legit and they did obtained the rights but I though Tim B owned the rights. I know Andy Dyson was telling me that when Tim got the rights to do the Onederful/M-Pac cd there was info referringf to the All Of My life as being by the Four Temples. Will ask what the info was when I see him at the weekend if I remember. As for playing at a venue? It's never been issued and only exists on a studio disc and cd...make your own minds up ;-)

Lifeline will only push newr sixties and seventies soul, unknown, lesser played and forgotten thinking mans (or womans oldies), nothing overplayed or oldies you hear week in week out, Mick and Andy bwant nothing else. They would sooner not promote a venue if thye had to go down the tried and tested route. I will be there again next time, seek me out!! As for instrumentals, I couldn't agree more, lack soul IMO. Maybe someone giving their all blowing into a sax but like you said lacks the heartbreak factor. Would sooner hear a good vocal anyday of the week and certainly haven't got time for an instrumental of a vocal.

Did you see what it went for on JM auction? £1107. I know it's not often seen these days but is it really an £1100 record?

Heard the Chaumonts recently actually, couple of times, 100 club and Brighton I think. Scraping the barrell...Mmmmmmm. I was at the Lifeline niter recently and it was virtually nine and a half hours of upfront scraping the barrell soul, not an overplayed oldie in sight. Butch, Andy Dyson, Tim Brown, Cliff Steele (one of the country's most under-rated djs) and Nick Stevenson and guest Marco kept the floor rammed all night. It was the best night musically I've had in years (probably since the 80's) for Rare Soul all night!!!! It does show that there is a market for the scaping the barrel stuff ;-) It's other venues ramming played out stuff down folks throat all the time and dancers/scene etc not progressing. I wish there was a Lifeline all-niter everweek!!!

Classics maybe but it's time the scene moved on a bit and embraced some newer sixties soul. Hear played out classics everyweek, get summat new on the decks!!! One instrumental that was played at the Lifeline niter that caused some interest was the Soul-Ins on Mos-Ley.

>>Popcorn article<< >>Another Popcorn article<< Couple of articles to read I found. Whilst they do play some soul there is some down right crap that isn't in the least bit soulful on the popcorn scene. Bit like the northern scene :-)

Popcorn..f*** knows, don't think anyone got a definitive answer lol...some real strange records on the scene though as well as some quality soul. Prices....... Bob And Fred very rare £800 to £1000 plus. Superlatives Yellow label £75 (although my girlfriend Janine just got one for £35) and Sky blue label @ £40. Flirtations £150/£250 Shamettes (on Gold Dust) Manship rates it at £400 Spaniels - I've got down at £10, maybe someone has an upto date price.

Rarest of the 3, not 100% of current value but JM quotes it at £100.

But the two records we are talking about seem to be cropping up at fairly regular intervals, if not on ebay, sales list???? How rare is rare these days? 10 copies, 50, 100, 200 copies?

Seems to be the going rate of late for Bobby Kline. Another juist gine up on e-bay from Mike Noriegab be interesting to see what it goes for.

103 Voice Masters You've Hurt Me Baby If A Woman Catches A Fool 105 Voice Masters If A Woman Catches A Fool Never Gonna Leave You 113 Voice Masters If A Woman Catches A Fool Dance Right Into My Heart Chalky

Dig the dj "Give it up with another stonking tune", sticks the needle on the decks and then begins to bob about like Derek Allen...brilliant. Shit film but funny.

Been chatting to Andy Dyson, the unissued tape found by Rod Dearlove was a Solid Hit Bound production apparently scheduled to be released on Golden World. The year circa '66. Way out with 1963 by the looks of things ;-)

Is that the Groovesville Review 2 cd? Haven't got that so can't have a look. Whats a Lease Farm lol

Not sure about a demo for Motown cause it's a unissued Groovesville/Solid Hitbond production I think. Can be found on one of Goldmines Groovesville CD's. It's the Johnny Taylor of Stax fame. Rob Marriott the first to spin this in the 80's.

I honestly couldn't remember what he paid when asked elsewhere but it's been suggested 9k. I know he paid a damn sight more than the ones on ebay but there was still only three or so known copies at the time and no one saw what was coming witht he LA haul, even though folk in the know knew there was a large amount of records there. It al comes down to what you can afford and what you are wiling to pay. If you can afford £xxxx then all the price guides in the world are useless. Any price guide is just someones matter of opinion.

The Antellects did looked f*****!!! What price mint? The previous one on ebay bought by well known dj for £2500, pretty sure that one came from the LA haul. Can't remember who was selling latest one.

I went into a shop in Bluewater, Hope and Glory, they had in there a t-shirt with label scans on Eddie Whitehead, Startones on Billy Fran (I bought one). They also had t-shirt with the old Northern Noise cover on with crowd clapping and the word Monkeys on it, thought it a bit insulting when I saw it. They also had one about Samanthas. So it could be Hope And Glory your looking for.

Not a Guy spin but a Pat Brady spin. Covered as Howard Guyton.

Can work against you leaving negative feedback because they often go and leave a load of shit about you, bad payer, timewaster etc and folk finish up refusing to deal with you. Just tell him to go f*** himself and report to ebay. Thats what i'd do!!!
