Hi Mike I actually had it in me top 10 deep sides of all time in Voices circa 1990......nowts change i still love it! Also always had a soft spot for 'So is the sun' too! In fact..........and this is gonna sound sad.............i remember looking over the balcony at Wigan when Richard was playing this and was mesmurised at the beauty of the label.............there, i've said it Cheers Steve

In my opinion (talking soul nights here, not nighters) Once a night! Like everyone says, there's loads to go at! In a one-roomer with the right DJ's (who should be there most of the night anyway) they know what's been played and can simply play summat else! Well this is the philosophy at The Orwell anyway! Although we often play unknowns/semi-knowns/things we're trying to break etc early doors and if they get the nod, they may get played later on! Only time it gets a problem for us is when we have two rooms and a DJ's play both rooms. Cos they're not omnipotent they cannot know what happens for the length of time they're in t'other room! I do like the idea of DJ's jotting down their set for this reason PLUS it's then easy to post playlists up on Soul Source after the event Cheers Steve

Hi Pete I've just bought this blind on the bay and it aint arrived yet. Gonna wish i hadn't asked this (as i note the year is 1973 )..........but is it any good in your humble opinion It didn't cost a lot so don't be afraid to hurt my feelings Cheers Steve

That was an 80's reissue of one of his two rare LP's Gav Cheers Steve

Copies from all sections flying out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 'Sold' sign is going up on quite a few of the new 45's (and some of the older items too!) As it says on the site..........'Don't snooze, cos when they're gone they're gone' Cheers Steve ps Out of interest, eee the info page for the Top 20 downloads in September 2006

It's about 10 threads below you /index.php?showtopic=34838

..more like a good two minutes longer ..brill thread btw ..the day is coming when someone will do a full set using just Kent Anniversary 45's ..i am definitely tempted! btw There was at least 4 played on Friday at The Orwell (San Fran, Chuck, Debra Johnson, Peggy etc) plus - No one's mentioned 'The Millionares' yet Awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers Steve

www.soulmusic.co.uk Just a quick note to let you know that another batch of 'New Stuff' has been added today! PLUS - Another new section has been added called 'Rarities'! So that's now FIVE sections of 45's for sale - all updated today! 'New Stuff' 'Rarities' 'Top Sellers' 'In Stock' 'On Sale' Cheers Steve Plumb 1st October 2006 ps Will post a priced list of the 'New Stuff' & 'Rarities' (including links) later in the week

Nice one John - see you've not lost your wicked sense of humour Cheers Steve

Answering me own question - it's 'Man' (just checked Johhny's site) which is a difficult 45! It's also on the LP 'Wanted, Live by a million girls' THE track to play (imho) is another track on the LP called 'Rose'............didn't come out on 45 though (to my knowledge?) Cheers Steve

Which Topics 45 are we talking about here? PLMK Steve

While i'm on a roll..............i also found a couple of sealed copies of 'Lenny Williams - Gotta lotta luv - Krush Music' Original US 12" from 1990. These were reserved a few months ago when i last offered them for sale on here BUT were never sent for! I'm offering these 12"s at £20 each including postage in the UK (add £2 if overseas) Please PM me OFF LIST if you're interested Cheers Steve

Whilst mooching around the other day i put me hands on a couple of EX copies of 'Sidney Barnes - Standing on solid ground - Mid West Int' I'm offering these 45's at £20 each including postage in the UK (add £2 if overseas) Please PM me OFF LIST if you're interested Cheers Steve

I've seen W/D's anywhere between £40 - £75...................although i've seen issues in this range too Cheers Steve

Hi Alan Many thanks for posting this on my behalf - much appreciated. https://www.soulmusic.co.uk/Records_For_Sal...our_2_sides.htm Down to the last couple of copies now! Immaculate condition too I agree a blinding tune that is getting played out at all the top quality venues! btw Guess you all know that this is their first release on Ric Tic and it is also the last of the Red label releases before the swirly Blues ones came in! Cheers Steve Plumb

Thanks for that Ady At least i know it ain't a bootleg (i did actually suspect all copies where on gooda mooga!) Cheers Steve

Agree - JF maybe not reached it's peak yet BUT has certainly been one of the biggest 70's 'discoveries' in 2006! I still think it has yet to truly crossover onto the Northern scene but i think it's well on it's way! Cheers Steve
