www.soulmusic.co.uk Just a quick note to let you know that another batch of 45's have just been added to the site! Newly added 45's can be found in the 'Just Arrived', 'Rarities', 'Front Page Focus' & 'Recent Releases'. Don't forget to check the 45's in the other four sales sections 'Top Sellers', '70's & 80's Modern Soul Classics', '60's Northern Soul Classic Originals' & 'More Tasty 45's' as many prices have been tweaked and there are definitely some hidden gems in there at killer prices!!!! There's a whole bunch of brilliant stuff up there BUT numbers are limited on many of the 45's so you need to get in straight away or risk missing out!!!! Go on, have a look............you know you want to :-) Cheers Steve Plumb 30th June 2007 www.soulmusic.co.uk

Strangely enough, i was talking to a guy recently who said he'd start coming BACK to The Orwell once the smoking ban comes into place

I think they may be all be being shipped off to evilBay after the weekend?

Pauline Shivers was played by Mark as a showcase for www.soulmusic.co.uk to let everyone know the type of tuneage that is on sale on it How good did it sound too!!!!!!!!! Cheers Steve

You have all my sympathies Sean! I once lived in a house with a cellar and lost all my photos and music magazines when it flooded. Thankfully me records were all on shelves and were all OK but still gutting! Hope it all works out well for everyone in your area as it sounds terrible! Cheers Steve

What a great thread - who'd have thought eh! Actually, i still prefer 'All i need is someone like you' from the Jap LP Cheers Steve

I thought the solid centres were basically the half a dozen test pressings that were made of the eventual 45 that turned up in 1990 ish? The story i heard was that Voices got about 25 copies of the real 45 and knocked them out at a fiver each expecting another few hundred copies in later BUT these were shipped to japan in error and they didn't get anymore...........hence it's rarity!

Can some kind soul send me Phil's mobile (BY PM PLEASE!) As i need to contact him urgently! Cheers Steve

Christ, it's been a long two days :-( Great to see the forum back, my withdrawel symptoms just starting to settle down :-)

I think that when copies that are loitering in the back of most sales boxes are hoovered up i can see this being in the £30-£40 region in months to come (and no, i don't have any in stock either ) Start the Dyson..........................

FB LP went for just $50 yesterday on ebay! Fookin bargain and then some!!! Steve

That's when i got mine too! In fact i dug it out last night and gave it a spin at home - guess that funky edge will not sound out of place these days? I also played 'Poor boy' 3 times straight - what a tune! One of the records (along with Oscar Perry & Linda Jones B sides from the same time) that made me realise there was more to life than this Northen malarky Happy days Steve

Love it Great Deep Soul on the B side too! Cheers Steve

OK so we're ALL right White demos and Pink Issues on 45 are the originals and the 12" was released about a decade later by Stan himself................ I just had a mad panic that there was an original 12" knocking around................... Cheers Steve ps Still a great record imho.......love the off key vocals

Hiya Keith That scan AND MP3 look very familiar.................now where have i seen them before Cheers Steve www.soulmusic.co.uk

Hiya Let me know if he's sold it - i think i can put me hands on an Ex copy! Cheers Steve

Hi Wayne Didn't know there was an orig 12" of Stan Ivory - thought it was 45 only? did i miss summat (that's quite possible!) or is that the reissue you're after? Cheers Steve

Hi Paul yep it was that Dutch haul i was talking about PLUS i heard (about third hand) that Gamble & Huff had found a warhouse with guzzilions of PIR w/d's in it too - don't know how accurate this story is? I guess it must be sorta true if their Broad St store is sellig them at $5 a pop? Have dropped an email on the G & H site but to date no one has had the curtesy to reply?????? Thanks all for the info Cheers Steve

Had a few PM's so here's a bit more info for you- As said in the blurb, there's one or two doubles (i.e. 2 copies) and the odd multiple (i.e. 10 copies) BUT not many. As a ballpark guess on % LP wise - Plenty of good quality 70's/80's Soul LP's - probably 70% with say 15% 60's and 15% 90's (sale value is between £2-£10 with probably quite a few more than a tenner) 12" wise - 70's/80's 70%, 90's/Y2k 30% (sale value is between 50p-£8 with probably quite a few more than £8) Ideally suited to the ebayer/gemmer online entrepreneur Cheers Steve

Whilst cleaning my garage out last week i realised i had a load of vinyl (and a few hundred CD's) that I'm just NEVER gonna get round to selling, ever! There must be at least 2000+ LP's and maybe 1000+ 12" singles bought from collections over the years and put into storage - All eras of SOUL with plenty of 70's, 80's & 90's - lots of good stuff from Classic Motown LP's to Soulful garage 12"s and everything in between. Most in Ex condition too! Some doubles and the odd multiple but many are just single copies. These would be perfect for a shop owner OR maybe someone about to open a shop OR someone who regularly does record fairs OR someone who runs a record list OR maybe someone with time on their hands to sell on ebay/gemm. I'm looking for a buyer to take the lot! It'd be well worth your while but sorry i don't want anyone coming up (or down) with a view to buying a 'few bits' - the lot has to go (or it stays in the garage for another 10 years!) Please note - This is NOT my own personal collection so I'm not 100% sure what's in it............you won't find multiple copies of the Pulse LP in there though Please drop me a PM if you want to take it further? Cheers Steve

Archie Bell - Old People I had a few on www.soulmusic.co.uk recently BUT they've now sold and I have a few people waiting for the next copies that come in. Cash or Trade OK PLMK via PM only please Steve

Hi Dante I have an Excellent US demo of Ace Spectrum Would have no probs trading - if you could PM me a list that'd be good? Cheers Steve

What about Chris Anderton in his sexy orange apron in those B & Q adverts

Yep, mine's like that Pete Not sure if it adds value BUT defo looks good Cheers Steve
