My copy of Abstract Reality has Gordon Berry erased with marker. It seems to have been done St the time of release. Phil

I regularly got lifts from PB down to TOTW at the time and seem to remember RS being on on the same night as Pat at least once or twice. But a lot of water under the bridge since then so I could be talking/remembering b*llocks

Would that not have been either Stafford Top of the World or Rotherham Clifton Hall?

Thanks

I need a good quality (300dpi or better) scan of Bobby Paris - Night Owl on orig USA. If anyone can help please send me a PM. Thanks in advance Phil

Thanks to all. I'm here now and just about to head out

Thanks

Good idea. I'll do my best Jarl Malden impression and make like a detective on the streets of San Francisco

Im in Ssn Francisco this weekend. Anyone know any good record shops? Also any clubs worth visiting ? Any help appreciates. Thanks Phil

It's not supposed to be Northern Soul, just soul. If you don't like "Lock and Key" what about the other side? A beautiful stepper IMO

One I DID release on Soul Intention was this great double header from Peter Lamarr ... A few copies still available here ..... https://www.soul-intention.co.uk/release.htm Phil

My persoanl favourite .... I would release it on 7" on Soul Intention if not for the fact noone would buy it. Phil

100% original vinyl for me. And also for anyone who DJ's for me at Bradford Niter. Phil

I can't speak for Steve, but I "guess" his may have come from the same place originally as mine. On a record buying trip in the early 90's a mate and I bought literally 100's of Hot Wax, Music Merchant and Invictus "Quality Control" test presses from a guy in Detroit. We didn't know what a lot of them were at the time as many of them only had master numbers or catalogue numbers. We divided them down the middle. I've still got pretty much most of mine and my mate sold them some years later to a well known record dealer. steve may have got his from there. But as I say I don't know for sure. Phil

It did indeed as I also have one Phil

I'll take the lot mate Phil

Hi Carl, I've done both specially printed labels and a rubber stamp for different releases. I prefer the "proper" ones though. Costs £99 for an extra set of labels. Phil

There is still a market for vinyl, albeit limted. And even today that produces rarities. For my Soul Intention label I have no more than 500 copies of each release pressed up. And of the latest release a number of them were badly warped, so unsaleable. This makes the release in general rarer than intended. Also, limited run promo copies (I get a maximum of 20 done per release) are by default "rare". I used to be involved in another label many years back, and the unsold stock was taking up space a few years ago - so I binned them I'm sure this behaviour by other label owners has contributed greatly to the rarity of some records. If you have something sitting around that didn't sell, it can easily perceived as worthless and therefore easy to get rid of. Phil

I'd win in a Dick swinging contest. I'm 5' 11" I'm probably the biggest Dick on this forum

Very sad news. Esther organised everything for our wedding at Hitsville nearly 15 years ago, and became a friend as a result. She will be very much missed. Rest in peace.

Not true. Everybody wants all records cheap these days

I had a few of these back in Queens Hall days. Struggled to get a fiver for it then. I probably have 2 or 3 copies still lying around. I'd better get digging
