Winsford Soul

Thanks for posting as always. .Two possibly three Auction records on the list .Mac Staten. Troy Dodds, and possibly Antonio Castro all the rest are surely set sale records. Come on people get real. Just lazy.🤔 Hat coat and door 😎

Sweet and heavenly melody is the other side and was a big room play at the Casino 20 /25 years before. You just don't know was played. Both fantastic sides

Had to share this. The area mentioned is where I visit every year in Pembrokeshire and is where I took the Osprey pictures on my recent visit. Its opposite the massive Valero refinery on the milford waterway which has s records of overwintering Swallows most years.

I have spoken to quite a few uk collectors over the years regarding the prices not reflecting the quality and rarity of British stuff is it finally possible that the soul collectors of only US have woken up to the fact ? Never bothered to collect one or the other if I liked it I bought it on whatever format. Uk. or US was available to me.

Going through some old memorabilia and I found my Casino membership Card and the Keele original from the very first night when Neil and Jacqui Clowes were the promoters

Andy. My then boss brought me in his copy of the Lancashire life when it featured that article. Still got it somehow myself mate

That is one very special record ❤ it Had the pleasure of seeing Eddie, then meeting him at Lowton 23 years ago Best live act that I have ever seen 😀

I've no idea if they are any good. Just posted the link for Ian to see as they where regarded as the top 10. Via a Google search

Ian. Trust your safe and well mate. https://uk.bestreviews.guide/portable-record-players The above link might possibly give you a better idea mate. Ste

Brilliant mate. Well chuffed for you and your hard work in getting it sorted

I think it stayed open until 82 . Sure I have a 3rd anniversary badge somewhere

Tonight's Sunset over Lunt Meadow nature reserve. Its only just now i have downloaded the picture i noticed 100,s possibly 1000,s of Jackdaws or Rooks flying across the top of the photograph

Russell. Thanks for sharing. Two really stand out for me . The one above and the reflection from Loch Oich on the road from Skye

Two massive skeins of Pink footed geese over lunt meadow nature reserve this evening.

I wouldn't argue with the summer of 77. I could be wrong about the late 77 at Wigan bit. I will try and find Richards book , I'm sure it was mentioned in that.

The soul police hate being proved wrong. I love it. What gives them the right anyway

Lol. Soul police 🚔. Just because it was only released in 1979 on grapevine doesn't mean that it wasn't played earlier. I definitely think it was played at Station Road late 77 possibly 78 before hand. Ste

Andy. Trust you are safe and well mate. I don't ever recall John playing this at Wigan which given how big it was at Cleethorpes is a strange one. But he could have done and I just don't remember it , I mentioned earlier that it did sound familiar so maybe he did 🤔 Ste

Great Crested Grebe. Drake Pochard

Dave. They look tiny for crab apples ,is it a particular type hence the ( malus ) in brackets 🤔.

Thanks Russell. Snipe and Woodcock. You can almost stand on them before they move and when they do, if you're not expecting anything they frighten the life out of you . Supreme camouflage.

Kike Dee. £738 No. Has the world gone stark raving mad. I personally love this record and the memories that go with it from Wigan so its not like I'm calling it blue eyed rubbish or anything but muck fe

Great pictures Russell. The berries look like Hawthorn berries, but not a expert. Tattoo Dave is the man.

Started going station road in 75 until it closed don't remember this getting any plays, in fact don't think I have ever heard it before. Yet it sounds vaguely familiar 🤔

There's one just popped up on Carolina soul website mate, can't remember what the grade was
