Soul Shrews

Dont forget your super rare Bobby Freeman Ken ..............................still waiting for me trade tho Cheers Paco

My Edwin Starr "Stop Her On Sight"/ "Harlem" is on Canadian RCA Agree with Gasher that Canadian issues are probably rarer than US ones but think this can be said for any release outside the States ? I also find a lot of Canadian vinyl seems to be a higher quality (no pun with the label intended) than US ? Cheers Paul

I'll be seeing him at the end of June Ali so will pass on your best wishes Cheers Paul

I should imagine theres quite a few interesting tapes apart from Mr Johnson....................Lew Kirton, Betty Wright etc Dont suppose Kent /Ace would be interested ........................or would they? Tone ? Ady ? Its the 7 inch mix Benji..............................as far as I know there is no 12, as I said it would be my dream 12 to find Cheers Paul

................................aint neva found a twelve like this befow......in all the daaaaaaays ah my life Cheers Paul

Theres one out there I"m sure................................................an' it"s got my name on it Cheers Paul

Nah............................... it was "Ten Percent" by Double Exsposure (Salsoul) Dunno 'bout "holy grail" 12s ...............but my "dream" 12 would be Charles Johnson "Never Had A L ove So Good"........y'know during the fade when he really starts singing ? Another couple of minutes of that pleases Cheers Paul

Is it possible to hear this via soul source once its broadcast? Can't recieve beeb iplayer on the ''continent". Cheers Paul

Tommy Neal "Going To A Happening" would probably get 3 outta 4 eh, garethx ? Cheers Paul

Pips fine Ali, living and working in Manchester. Not involved with the "scene " these days tho still loving his music Cheers Paul

Are you getting Ray Baretto mixed up with Joe Bataan here Mr Dog? Flip to my Fania is "Hard Hands" so I suspect you're right and it is a re-issue Cheers Paul

I have "Soul Drummers" on the Dutch Fania label. Cheers Paul

He don't live too far from The Haight either Martin......................hopefully going myself later in the year so ........................leave a few for me will ya? Cheers Paul

Well worth a visit to ole Jinx74es Martin (Hi Justin!!! ) Cheers Paul

Whoops sorry to confuse you Matt, the nice old lady wasn"t called Glynn I was clumbsily replying to Glynn Thornhills post. Love it at Rookys ..............last time I was there (Sept 08) a young guy was working there joined soul source during my trip on here as "jackspratt" if I remember rightly. Cheers Paul

Definately go to Rooky Ricardos 448 Haight St (between Fillmore and Webster) they are always getting new stock in, although they know prices on the known stuff. Ask to look behind the counter at the slightly more exspensive stuff (from 5 bucks and up) also if Dicks in the store he keeps a "good box" of stuff thats not been sold on the bay.......you may get lucky. Unfortunatly Glynn the nice old lady behind the counter passed away a couple of years ago. Amoeba Records is at the other end of Haight St near the park and is also worth a look lots of 45s from a couple of bucks Theres also an LP shop just accross the road from Rookys (the name of which escapes me) specialising in soul/funk/jazz. Chris if the shop you mean was in Mill Valley I think its closed now You can catch the BART(underground) to Berkley (& Oakland) where there is another Amoeba and a shop called Rasputins in the same street, I found the Amoeba shop there was a lot cheaper for LPs than the one in San Fran Near China town on Green St and Columbus is a store that sells instruments and audio eqiupment that also has a basement full of vinyl, again they're always getting stuff in so you may get lucky. Good luck Cheers Paul

Not seen it but I want to .................thanks for posting Cheers Paul

Check "lookbacks" Kieth seems it was the last................................no reason(s) given as yet Cheers Paul

The Soul Harmony Singles book lists them as "blue eyed" but I know the lead singer was black ('cos I've seen a record company promotional photo) rest of the band white. Only the one 45 listed (released July '67) Cheers Paul

This is the French release. Cheers Paul

Yep I've heard em both Sean, mines got "Run To The .............." on the flip, cant remember the number, is the other version with a different flip? Cheers Paul

"Day In The Life Of A Woman" was my favourite of her many great recordings RIP Viola Cheers Paul
