I have mostly been listening to rubbish

Very sorry Chief Inspector Pikeys Dog of the Soul Police. I obviously haven't got a clue about soul, northern soul or even music in general. I will in future stop posting and bothering you soul gurus and just watch on in wonder, with a forlorn hope of maybe learning something. Once again, my apologies.

It was made in 2007, not 1967. The backing doesn't sound electronic to me, sounds like real instruments. Some of it sampled maybe but real instruments nonetheless. But why dissect it like this. it's a damn good northern dance track IMO, and I'm sure plenty would get up and dance to it, were it played out. Phil

If you didn't know it was a Levine track would it still stink? I think it's really good. A good dancers track.

Finally managed to do a sound file. I know how to do 'em off vinyl no probs, but never done one off a CD before. Track_No13.mp3

It's not mine it's Babelfish's

Sorry, I have no sense of humour

Ah. I see now. Sorry, I'm from the backside end of CleckHuddersFax. Takes a little time for it to sink in

I know. You prised mine off me at Yorskhire Rider a few years back - remember? Phil

What? If I state an opinion or express a liking for a record that you don't agree with or like I'm on Levine's payroll? Anyone who really knows me would tell you that just is not the way I work. If Ian was paying me (not that I would take his or anyone elses money) I still wouldn't pretend to like something that I didn't. You're raving up the wrong tree my friend.

I have one. I'll send it in two separate parcels if you like Ted

The question was "What record you have heard recently that has this affect of you ? " Surely you heard these a bit longer ago than recently? That's why I mentioned the Noel McKoy track. Phil

Too right matey. Wouldn't think of not visiting your good selves. You'll have to PM me your address & phone no. Phil

What don't you like about this particular track? To my ears it's got everything. Have you heard it?

Que?

Too right Anyway records aside I am looking forward to spending my Christmas day at Cocoa Beach in the Sunshine Stae this year Can't wait. Phil

I have a copy of this (Ventura's) for sale if anyone's interested? Phil

I am not dishonest to the core at all. Sinful to the core absolutely, can't deny that. I've never preached to you or anyone on here, but if you'd like me to? I would love to. i cdrtainly wouldn't preach about how I'm perfect or better than anyone else, I'm not. I'm as bad as anyone else and probably worse than most. I did mention that to him, but he said that's the going rate - look. When I impressed upon him the fact that some of these listings had been on for years and the reason was that they were overpriced his response is that they'll be cheap some day. But the Poets she blew a good thing at $60 is a tad overpriced wouldn't you agree?

I'll probably get shot down in flames for this but ..... NOEL McKOY - SKATING ON THIN ICE is one of the best tracks that I've heard recently. This is one of the tracks off Levine's Northernsoul 2007 album. It is absolutely fantastic, uptempo proper stomping soul to my ears, right from the first bar. Love it. Phil

Not at all. Christian is not spelt M-U-G. the guy takes an average of prices on GEMM and we all see ludicrously expensive prices on there don't we. Jut redressing the balance is all Phil

The way I dealt with Bananas way of pricing when I went in April, was to pull a stack out, write 'em down and then on my laptop in the evening create "phantom" GEMM listing for the titles I wanted, go back the next day and buy 'em all for a few bucks each -job done! That said he doesn't have a whole lot of stuff. But these days I only buy stuff that I don't already have mostly, cos I can't be bothered putting stuff up for sale. Phil PS - If you find a Don Gardner - Cheatin' Kind it's mine, I dropped it honest

Truly beyond words. I used to have people back at mine early 90's and had Arin Demain on Blue Star and Imagination Fraternity issue nicked. I would never invite anyone round mine ever again. Destroys the trust that one has in one's fellow man. Phil

What I Want. Without a doubt their best tune period! Phil

Now reduced prices

I know. That's the point I was trying to make. I'm naively thinking a few hundred quid should sort the Motown albums out, and that's easily sorted by selling a few 45's. But no, it's not that easy is it? And now, in the immortal words of Magnus Magnusson "I've started so I'll finish". And, when you're trawling round Ebay you always come across that little 45 that you sold 20+ years ago for a fiver & a bag of chips ..... Phil
