Whoops sorry all....was gonna say as Mal is a very similar age to myself.....I went to snobs in brum regularly through my rave/dance scene stage...it was a proper laugh and the start of me getting back into my soul music again...weird connection but how it was for me...kind regards....Rob

Brilliant!!!!...the snake is always the one!!....my 3x double decking ( that's my dj career ever! ) at pure soul a rare under played night I got asked by a girl who had a learning disability (she was having a great time ) for the snake...obviously I didn't have it or was going to play it so apologised and said ask my decking partner Boff (what a bail out but didn't want to upset her ), it was a no from him as well but also a polite response....I then had a 10 minute chat to her about the Fred Perry I was wearing and she was going to buy one for her boyfriend....yeah totally a wrong request but strangely it was a lovely moment and Boff never forgets it..good times always....kind regards....Rob .

I'm sure I've heard a recording of it and pretty sure it was on here....gotta be Pete Smith who posted so have a search. It was a fairly crap set as mentioned but always worth a listen. I'm not on Facebook so def not heard it there.....good luck....Rob

I would start with Gloria Jones...tainted love...its been booted loads of times and there's gotta be one that's more expensive than its predecessor.....thank you....Rob

A lovely copy......Rob

Thank you Dave...that's how it was with them when I insured my records....sold most of my big records now (not many!!).. But these were very good when I had some to insure!!....thank you...Rob

Newmoon from memory (I've sold lots since I insured them) put your collection into value category's, 2.5k, 5k, 10k, and upwards, gives you the option with home, and home/djing insurance...it was good cover and easy to sort when I did it....Rob

Finding this brilliant Mal......thank you...Spain is a fabulous country that people know nothing about...the usual comment...." I don't like Spain " ....really!!!...thank you...Rob

I would say £150+ for a decent copy, getting expensive, great record though...thank you...Rob

As stated, newmoon insurance are very good. Can be insured for when your out djing, at home what ever. They specialise in vinyl record insurance....hope your well Shawy......kind regards...Rob

Bobby Hutton, awesome, William hunt I love and rarely played...fab list, thank you for posting.....Rob

That's a lovely thing to own...thank you for sharing, I like stuff like that photos etc, interesting...thank you.........Rob

Top drawer as ever...thank you for posting....Rob

Great set as always, nice mix...thank you for posting as always....kind regards...Rob

There you go....myself with my good friend boff ( Paul Jameson ) at one of my seldom seen dj sets and me messing about with one of my bonsai trees....kind regards....Rob Bull

deleted as couldn't insert photo.

No one needs to explain there musical taste to anybody, it's what makes the world go round....you like what you like...I've tried to explain about the rare soul scene to some of my mates....always ends in...there only rare because they didn't sell and weren't popular!!! Who's to argue...horses for courses...doesn't affect me or them...it's just opinion and taste...each to there own I say.....kind regards.....Rob

I've been following this thread and all the records mentioned, I've heard at all the under played rare soul do,s .......you don't get many folk at these but the music is always brilliant.....each to there own but how about Eddie Holman...Hold me in your arms on grapevine...heard this played by Gillys better half Nicola at a little do I go to.....picked up for a tenner....it's a tad dearer now....each to there own...kind regards...Rob

Please don't take offence but I can see who Donald Trump mirrored his hair do on when looking at the young ladies coiffeur in the photo. It's a proper work of art....kind regards..Rob

1st saw it Steve for about £35/40....thats when it came to my attention anyway. I'm from the midlands so makes sense it was played at Leicester (before my time) and maybe known up here more than elsewhere earlier?? Thank you....Rob

Couldn't of put it any better...spot on....Rob

I love the diversity...every miss fit and there mates are at niters and most soul do,s...be good...Rob

Will be in Devon October I think, but unfortunately my wife finds us all bonkers being so mad about the music we love!! And if you get it your addicted!! As I posted earlier I never judge (one of my better points)...long haired, shaved haired, scruffy bugger, mods what ever...we are all into it for the music, it's an amazing scene I think, got someone once telling me about the stuff he had on tic-tac,,(ric-tic) bless him..never gonna cause me any bother, nice chap really...thank you..Rob
