Steve Plumb

For the record, mine are planned to be made and sent out by the end of November! (I think Chris gave an indicator that from now til mid Dec was OK?) It's a good idea to phase them over a few weeks cos when too many land at the same time it's hard to do each one justice (imho) Cheers Steve

Wow! I am now glad i put me name back on the list! Can't wait to hear this as i only know/have a couple of them Nice one Colin Cheers Steve ps Mr Hampsey please get your PA to fire out that track listing of your 'Soul within reach' please!

Yer postcode is cut short mate? Or is it G1 3JU? Please let us all know the real one? Cheers Steve

Oh, you're gonna have to perform now Sir No pressure then Cheers Steve

Great track Agree that it's an easy one BUT there's a release of it with a brill crossover B side called 'It shouldn't happen to a dog'..............now that's a tough 'un! Cheers Steve

Yep, twas a pleasure Cheers Steve

Come on Chris - let ole Fraser on board - deadline may have gone but still two names short - i'd love a CD of current Fraser spins!!!!!!!!!!!!! Steve

Yeah, I've gotta say that I thought I'd had me hat nailed on at the time BUT it has turned out to be pretty hard as i've never seen it for sale since! Cheers Steve

What about another Billy Stewart - Crazy bout you baby - Chess Fine crossover for the cost of a couple of really expensive pints of Stella Steve

Some more LP's, 12"s & 45's added to the list bit of www.soulmusic.co.uk Click here to view the list of LP's, 12"s & CD's Click here to view the list of US Original Northern 45's Apologies if this appears twice as this is the 2nd time I've posted it cos the 1st has gone AWOL! Steve

Think you 'may' be thinking of the odd looking all Black Dakar label releases?

Rob Thomas had the only copies I've ever seen of this, about 8 years ago - he sold them all then at £100 each! Not sure what they're worth today? Hope this helps Steve

While I'm still on a roll.............................. I now have an original Art Freeman - Slipping around - FAME WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING up for trades. It looks VG with quite a few surface marks BUT plays surprisingly well with only a few occasional pops and crackles. The 'Slipping around' side is a blank white label, whereas the other side 'I can't get you out of my mind' is stamped on the label along with Fame 1008 & Art Freeman's name. It is a vinyl copy so it's presumably a Test Pressing of the 'Black/Coloured' Issue? Great for DJing OR for simply playing at home A piece of Northern Soul history! I'd have thought it was worth £150+ As before with Epitome Of Soul/Natural Four I'd very much like to swap/trade it for a selection of the following (mainly) cheap 70's Soul 45's- Tapestry - It's not the world that's messed up - Capitol Peaches & Herb - I'm counting on you - MCA O'Jays - To prove I love you - TSOP Presidents - I promised you love - Sussex Sir Charles Hughes - I'm leaving you - Jeena Sharon Paige/Harold Melvin - If you're looking for someone to love - Source Al Downing - I'm just nobody - Polydor Brief Encounter - What about love - Capitol Sons Of Robin Stone - Got to get you back - Atco Archie Bell & the Drells - Old people - Phil Int Bettye Crutcher - Sugar Daddy - UK Stax William Bell - Easy coming out - Mercury Rumpus - Love's gonna get you - Dash Oscar weathers -Just to prove I Love you - Top & Bottom Other nice 60's/70's Northern/Modern Soul 45's also considered (cheap or rare!) Part cash & trade would be an option too if there was a mis-match? To make the job easier PLEASE try and send a PRICED list of trades in (with conditions etc) by PM? Cheers Steve

I know I'm going to regret this Put me down if 30 ain't been reached yet (I'll email you my addy again Christopher!) Looking down that list made me realise the wealth of good stuff that will be on those CD's (and vice-versa ) I know i said i hadn't time BUT reckon i need to make time methinks? Cheers Steve

DEAL NOW DONE!!!!! Cheers Steve

Hiya Yes. I know a couple have crept up in price Have PM'd you Cheers Steve

I wondered who hoovered all them up I was looking for a copy for someone last week - better add it to me cheap 70's 45's that I'm looking for (see trades thread) Cheers Steve

Hi Bob Flip of the 'Fast Track 45 is called 'Today or never' and guess what.............it's a fantastic 70's Soul dancer!!!!! Well worth tracking down but not easy to find! Cheers Steve

TONNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Looks big enough to me Nice one Tony One day? (as they say!) Cheers Steve

While I'm on a roll.............................. I now have an original ABC - Natural Four (I thought you were mine) up for trades. It looks VG+ with quite a few surface marks BUT plays like a dream and the label is clean. Great for DJing OR for simply playing at home I'd have thought it was worth £200+ As before with Epitome Of Soul I'd very much like to swap/trade it for a selection of the following (mainly) cheap 70's Soul 45's- Tapestry - It's not the world that's messed up - Capitol Peaches & Herb - I'm counting on you - MCA O'Jays - To prove I love you - TSOP Presidents - I promised you love - Sussex Sir Charles Hughes - I'm leaving you - Jeena Sharon Paige/Harold Melvin - If you're looking for someone to love - Source Al Downing - I'm just nobody - Polydor Tavares - Too late - Capitol Brief Encounter - What about love - Capitol Sons Of Robin Stone - Got to get you back - Atco Archie Bell & the Drells - Old people - Phil Int Bettye Crutcher - As long as you love me - UK Stax William Bell - Easy coming out - Mercury Rumpus - Love's gonna get you - Dash Oscar weathers -Just to prove I Love you - Top & Bottom Other nice 60's/70's Northern/Modern Soul 45's also considered (cheap or rare!) Part cash & trade would be an option too if there was a mis-match? To make the job easier PLEASE try and send a PRICED list of trades in (with conditions etc) by PM? Cheers Steve

I'm gonna pass on this one this time fellas.....................unlike Sir Hampsey i haven't got a PA (hee hee) and i've a shedload of things to do in November that may see me struggle to record and copy a CD 30 times.................BUT i will be back for the next one hopefully (if there is room for me that is!) Really have enjoyed the last two swaps with approx 40 CD's of LP tracks and cheap quality 45's - have learnt a bit and bought a bit from them so it must go down as a success Will be watching the thread with interest though Cheers Steve

Hi Bob Dug out both issues of the Chess & Fast Track 45's and there looks to be no connections whatsoever with the groups? btw One is from '73 the other '75 Chess 45 is by '11th Commandment' & Fast Track 45 is 'Eleventh Commandment' As they don't even sound familiar either, it's safe to assume they're different groups? Couldn't put me hands on the RJ release (i've got it somewhere!) so couldn't check this one? Cheers Steve

Quite right mate This should be in Mr Thorley's tip of the day thread (along with one or two others on there imvho)! Cheers Steve
