Lovely condition copy of this double sider from 1972 on Eastbound demo. £300 + P&P. SOLD. I grade this 45 somewhere between VG++ and M- using Soul Source grading, as I can see a couple of very light tiny marks under good light but I can't hear any when played. Thanks, Steve

Latest one through the door this morning so all seems to be good!

Looking for a nice condition copy of Little Ron Johnson - "I keep telling you" if anyone has one to sell or swap? Thanks, Steve.

Not an instant one by any means, but how about Pauline Shivers - Won't you come back home / Silk - Falling in love isn't easy? Can't seem to post any you tube clips for now but there must be literally thousands of records if you extend this to artists who "sampled" original recordings for inspiration. That's certainly what led to me getting hooked on Northern and Rare Soul, trying to find out some of the original records used then just marvel at how good they were. Stating the obvious I know but can't ignore fact that lots of hip hop / R&B (not the old sort!) / modern soul samples 60's / 70's soul and even some quite good recent soul releases such as Big Brooklyn Red sampling Lowrell's "Mellow Mellow Right On" for their recent "Taking it too far" track.

Just the one for now, from 1973..... Carl Hall - What about you (Columbia) demo. Using SS record gradings I grade this: Stereo side VG++ / Mono side strong VG+ but you can't hear the very light surface marks visible on the Mono side. SOLD Very clean labels with no writing or marks. Cheers. Steve

Make that three of us!

One of my fave double-siders here on Romark blue label / silver text (photos below). Ty Karim in absolute stunning vocal form both sides. Towana & The Total Destruction - Wear your natural baby / Help me get that feelin' back again. SOLD I grade as strong VG using SoulSource record gradings Plays strong and clear with some light crackles but no deep scratches and certainly no jumps or skips. Some ring wear to label both sides as per photos. Cheers, Steve

Guess I'm not surprised to see a low number on here starting their Northern love affair this last 10 years or so (me included) but I must admit I didn't expect the number to be quite so low. I know from the nights etc I've been to that this looks to be a fairly true reflection, although I'm sure it's different in the cities and maybe Europe. Seems crazy that so many are missing out, but each to their own I guess and all we can do is spend time with people who show a genuine interest, as a few good souls did with me...and they continue to do so...passing on "the knowledge" and stuff. Thanks for that guys. You know who you are. Steve.

Damn ipad thing!..post below...

I was pleasantly surprised today when a 45 arrived from the US and amazed to see zero import charges...just the post. It wasn't a particularly cheap one so I wasn't sure what would happen with it to be honest. Does it depend on what the seller scribbles on the parcel in terms of value? If that's the case then thumbs up to this seller as he put something like $4 from what I could make out! It's nice to get the odd domestic delivery but there is something about getting one from the postie with coloured stamps and things hey, knowing it probably hasn't yet travelled over the pond or wherever. Parcels from Japan take some beating In terms of excitement I think and actually make the post cost worth it once in a while, for me anyway! I'm actually now dedicating a record box with lock and key just for my favourite looking parcels I want to keep. Sad!

Thanks for supporting Snooks this last year or so Brian. It's still "work in progress" there, but that's a good thing right?! Here's what I played to open and close the upstairs room. Lots of requests and never good to get abuse when you don't have a certain record that someone wants to dance to, but as one local summed up so well to Len on the night after thinking for a bit...He said: "Hmmmm.... Northern Soul. It's always been a problem"! Opening 45 mins:- Bobby Moore - Give me your love right now (Checker) The Voice Masters - You've hurt me baby (Bamboo) Shirley Karol - My Baby's gone away (Dakar) Harold Hutton - Lucky Boy (Checker) Karen Striblin - We're not too young, to fall in love (Jaber) Spencer Wiggins - I'm at the breaking point (Kent) Four Tees - One more chance (Kent) Freddie Terrell - You had it made (Capitol) The Tom-Emmanuel and Ron Experience - When you lose your groove (Golden Three) Albert Jones - I do love you (Tri-City) Rhonda Davis - Can you remember (Duke) Talmadge Armstrong - Gigi (Spindletop) Luv Co - Things are not the same (Spring) Little Sherman & The Mod Swingers - The price of love (Sagport) The Jaedes - Uh, Uh, what did I do (Athena) TSU Toronadoes - What good am I? (Atlantic) Closing 45 mins:- Epitome of Sound - You don't love me (Sandbag) Darrell Banks - I'm the one who loves you (Volt) Exits - You got to have money (Gemini) Purple Mundi - Stop hurting me baby (Cat) The Innersection - Let me love yuh (Group 5) Four Tops - Don't bring back memories (Motown) Willie Kendrick - Change your ways (RCA) The Volcanos - Help wanted (Arctic) Sandra Phillips - I wish I had known (Okeh) Lorraine Rudolph - Keep coming back for more (Jet Stream) The Dynells - Call on me (Atco) September Jones - I'm with you (Body & Soul) Four Tops - Where did you go (Motown) Bobby Hutton - Come see what's left of me (Philips) Chuck Jackson - What's with this loneliness (Kent) Willie Bollinger - I won't have to cry no more (Kent) Enchanted Five - Darling I need you now (CVS) Willie West - She's so wise (Timmion) Curtis Mayfield - Move on up I think only one of the above cleared the floor for a mo, but gritted my teeth behind a smile and played the record right through just as the Brothers of Soul intended it to be heard when they wrote it. Once again, the funny old world of Northern Soul! Until the next time, Steve.

Not sure if you're buying or selling Don. If buying and want to save a few quid to get this great track with some rather nice deep soul things too, then his LP on Guinness can be picked up for around £50-£100 depending on condition. Very high quality recording it is too. Cheers, Steve.

Recently picked up a new copy of this 12 from a seller in France (JARA Records JA 1) and have just searched to find this thread. Brilliant both sides I think and with no date or anything on the label I wondered if had been reissued recently or something? Any more info on Lenard Lidell in terms of other releases aside from this 12 and the EP? The EP looks a hard one to find but lots of the re-issued version for sale. Cheers, Steve. Off to listen again as its only the Brit awards on telly!

You did Jocko...Here's the link to Refosoul from 2007 but apart from the MP3 sample at the bottom of that page it looks to be a criminal case of no one yet posting on You Tube! /more/soul-library/pic-and-bill-the-soul-of-a-man-blue-rock-7-r41212
