A little off topic but the picture/scan reminds me of a guy doing a high kick at a do I was at....it looked very good but sadly his shoe flew off, went about 20 foot in the air and hit a lady dancing at the far end of the venue!!...I was laughing so hard my mate thought I had took a turn for the worse, had an asthma attack or some sort of seizure......sorry for being off topic....kind regards...Rob

Some fantastic stuff played by all!.......just gonna have a listen to jades-lucky fellow...(not heard it for ages).....well done!..... lovely stuff played by all listed so far......thank you for posting.....Rob B

Ha-ha......after a few beers at lunch I got through probably half the list!,,,,.looks like they might be a good purchase?.....some good tunes to me anyway........the Detroit packs could be very interesting!!!!....kind regards...Rob B.

I've got mixed feelings about soul packs generally.....on one hand I like to pick, search and buy what I like...on the other hand what a great Sunday afternoon, listening to un-known records while enjoying a couple of bottles of red!......do what's right for you at the end of the day, interesting thread, thank you....Rob

RIP Joe.....as said before, you're post of jm's auction results,.. then the debate afterwards, was always something I enjoyed ...God bless you matey....Rob.

I've never seen a boot......the flip "special kind of woman' is a fab tune....imo......kind regards.....Rob

As ever some fantastic records there Rob.....thank you...see you August matey....kind regards...Mr Bull

Seen a couple go recently on e-bay £100/£110ish from memory in the last few weeks.....think I got £38 last year and thought I did well!....bloomin bonkers at the minute for the oldies....Rob

Loads on e-bay my friend....you won't struggle getting one of these....good luck....Rob

Got a copy but no idea what format stereo/mono.....in fact not sure where it is!...is this going for a few bob these days?...is mono more expensive than stereo?....lees (dobber) Dutch Phillips sounds pretty rare.....thank you.......Rob

A fab set and some new ones to me as you always get at pure soul!.....Jimmy Beaumont is a beautiful record...thank you for posting...kind regards....Rob

Ha-ha.....I love that Dave....... everone is an expert!......just study on the web, listen to everything, find your thing, happy days...your taste will change as time goes on.....it's a fab thing to be into and different to your friends!...you never know they might even get into it, and you can start them on the path of this mad obsession.....good luck.....Rob

Research absolutely everthing buying wise!....loads of information on the internet so you can't go wrong.....if you attend do's ask people....people are great and will normally give you loads more info than you need, and sometimes bore you to death with there knowledge!!!!......I suggest looking on here to buy....Pete s, and des Parker (soulinc) are two who sell at very reasonable rates....other sellers are available though!!!....good luck my friend.....kind regards...Rob

Heard this played by Rob Gray last week at pure soul in Nuneaton ....it's rare!...searling spin at Wigan....2/3k I would imagine poss more in today's climate...will stand corrected by the guys who know on here....great record.....thank you...Rob

I agree...but that is proper money for a record....rare and fantastic, but not many have the money to spend nearly 5k on a record..(or a piece of plastic as the wife calls it) ...if I had the money this would be snapped up immediately!!!....thank you..Rob

Blimey....some big ticket tunes there...hope all is kosher as it goes to show these top records are all over the place, not just in the known collections...great stuff and interesting...great post, thank you...Rob

Says events will be up and running in 24 hours Says events will be up and running in 24 hours Ian.......Rob

I've read every post and feel sorry for all parties.....Jim the poor bugger got butted and as we know this isn't what happens at soul do's!....Mr Roberts (kev) is running the longest running all nighter, best attended, soul do in the country..To the best of my knowledge. I've been a few times and as a spectacle it's amazing!..and I once saw someone kicked out for being a nuisance, (drunken idiot).. good job by the doorman from what I saw....unfortunately you can't allow for these people...you get them at every club, pub, nightclub and soul do in the country...and it's a pain in the arse to the punters, promoters and doormen!....the flip side is how many people had the time of there lives? Hundreds I would imagine...I'm sure this incident has been taken on board and there is no need by anybody to be personally insulting to each other...we love the same thing!....kind regards to all......Rob

Hmmmm...I would imagine/like to think there is no side to this...surely can't be the same records....of all the people to have a few copies, Tim Brown would be the one Who might have....we have spoke before about transparency of auctions, and to be fair, like it or not, John manships is the fairest...others seem, shall we say, not as good?.....Rob

I'm with Rob..big thank you for the likes...didn't know Richard (premium stuff) was there....that's another one with a fab collection!.....thank you again all......Rob B p.s thank you Nicola & Gilly for posting your play list...gonna have a search through as I fancy a couple of them!

Steve Mancha....Monday through Thursday..groovesville The Shadows....My love is gone..USA Demo Patti Drew....Stop and listen..Capitol Melvin Davies....I must love you..groovesville The Hesitations....I'll be right there..kapp demo The Magictones....How can I forget you..wheelsville Jack Montgomery....Don't turn your back on me..Barracuda The Paramount Four....You Don't know..Southern city (request for Les) Cajun Heart....got to find a way..Warner Bros..green issue Jimmy Reed jr....I ain't going no where..Mercury A fantastic night and all for our local hospice charity..a great cause!...had a fab time (nearly enjoyed djing!)...take care Rob Bull!!

I agree totally...I would love to read what he has to say....yes definitely been a shit bag to some....but it's without doubt a massive part of Northern soul history....if you read the history of our royal family, it's not the most savoury thing you will ever look at, and there the head of the bloody country!!...thank you..Rob

Don't know the man personally but have heard him at the Nuneaton niter lots of times....on the money every set...get well soon my friend.....Rob

Fantastic sets guys....might have to make a visit in June.........Rob
