Spot on...... Ditto with the titles below:- millionaires "you got to love your baby" fletcher walker III "guess i'll never understand" yvonne baker "i can't change" lee sain "i can't fight it" carlena weaver "jealousy" buckner bros "love you from the bottom of my heart" richard starr "love is not a game" tina britt "who was that" betty wright "man of mine" also add jimmy soul clarke-a girls world soulhawk [with ill be your champion on tother side]....remembering that JSC sweet darling was massive back then but not much demand on this 45? jack montgomery on revue brothers guided light-getting it together-mercury just to mention a few yes these packs were great value for money and a good source to expand your knowledge and collection... i would guess looking back at Soul Bowls sales list from that era the current indemand sounds of the time and the latest hot newies/discoveries were the main string for John Anderson .....but there were thousands of titles arriving at Portland Street Kings Lynn on a regular basis from all over the USA .... these records were virtually unknown to most and not in too much demand either ? so maybe to make space the soul packs were a great concept ? but with time and changes in taste and variable styles of soul music being accepted amoungst collectors these titles were heading to be the in demanders of today and tomorrow... ktf tfk

John Andersons Soul Bowl soul packs 100 records for a fiver ...these were essential purchases and what a great way of finding total unknown records .....use to love the buzz when the packs arrived the boxes were just big enough to hold the 100 45s .....all these unknown titles on labels that you never new existed...i can remember getting loads of the Instant label/Phil LA soul nearly all the Darrow Fletcher titles in one box some of the Capri stuff in another pack Reggie Souls 100mph stormer Mighty Good Lovin/World of Ecstasy ....this was a power play at my parernts house circa 1975.....in the early days i can remember one pack arriving .....mmmm when am i going to get chance to listen to all these records-hey presto i put a sick note in at school for 2 days..whey hey great times-i still have some of the original lists with the adverts for these packs on...still hair raising stuff=if i could turn back the hands of time?

This is a ace read , i love the tales/stories from back in the day and never forgetting that way back then these guys and gals [shakers and moovers/goodies and baddies] who were really sticking their necks out and going to the ends of the earth to get their hands on the next potential rare soul biggie ...they were the pioneers of the scene back then and were leading from the front keeping things fresh and laying down the DNA for what is todays Rare/soul scene!... great mentors for sure.....still enjoying and still digging deep !!! keep on keeping on and heres to 2012 tfk
