Hi Mark' Glad you like the site & many thanks for saying so Always nice for new members to post a bit of an introduction so we all know a bit about who we're talking to, just follow the link below. /index.php?showforum=44 Welcome to the Site Mark & have fun Mart...

Very few artists i'll call legends but we lost one today. The world will be a sadder place without him. Rest in peace Mr Brown...

Had a request from a site member for an acetate thread so i thought i'd kick one off with this as it was a big sound for Poke back in the day & he's been the topic of quite a few posts on here recently. Rules? err none really just as long as it's something a little bit different. Love Music - james bynum -unreleased acetate 11797 refosoul

Just giving this a bump to get it back on the front page as it's been moved about a bit. Some nice stuff you got there Andy. Should be a cracker

Hi Stuart, Didn't know you were on here (guess i should look in't intro column a bit more). Long time no see. Good to have you on board mate & hope your'e fit & well. All the best for the season mate Martin Dixon...

Moved this to events Andy. Felt it was more of an event advert.

You sure Steve? Sure i've got an old tape kicking about somewhere of Searling playing Larom Baker on Soul Sauce on radio Hallam. Will try to find it out. Seem to remember him playing it at Clifton & possibly Rebels as well. Totally agree with you about Poke, the business

How about King Tutt on a 12"? Only know of about 5 at most & 1 unplayable 12" demo & before anybody comes on & say's it ain't that rare iv'e been after it for about 25 years to no avail so if it ain't rare sell me a copy nice & cheap. Also wouldn't mind a good quality mp3 of the 12" version if anybody could pm it me please. PS, Nice thread Simon

Only need Deuces Wild now. Thanks Dave

Been asked by a very good friend if i can ask on here for a couple of mp3's for him. Need them before next March's Prestatyn & if you can send e'm me i'll tell you why as it's important to him. They are, Keep On by Deuces Wild & Take me back by The Flock. Would be really grateful if somebody could send e'm me via pm or e mail e'm me at modernism@blueyonder.co.uk Thanks for looking, Mart...

Played in't net didn't you Steve

Have been asked by Geoff & Martin from Soul Intent if i could post this up on here as they're not members of this site but quite a few of they're regular punters are. "Due to circumstances beyond our control Soul Intent will now be moving to The Prince Of Wales at Renishaw near jct 30 of the M1" Soul Intent will still take place on the 2nd friday of each month as usual. Click on the following link for more info. https://www.modernsoul.net/ Realise this should have probably been posted in events but felt it would be read by more folks here & Geoff & Martin don't want anybody not realising & turning up at the old venue & having a wasted journey. Good luck with the new venue guy's, Mart...

I'd say it's rarest on Lotusland by the amount of time we have waited for the re-issue Any news on it Andy?

Hi Simon, Got an original of the Pages & everybody says it's a boot when they see it until they check the matrix. Like John says thats the only definite way to tell. A lot (but not all) of originals have offset labels so the centre hole cuts into the title. Mine dosen't so thats why folks think it's a boot. Also not all the boots are that smudgy so be careful. Funny thing is over the years i've seen more originals than boots so i'd say the boots are pretty scarce. Another one that throws a spanner into the works is ZZ & Co & to this day i still don't know the difference. Heard the so called boots were in fact originals & the so called originals were 2nd issues. Look very similar to the Pages boots. Any connection John?

Bloody hell Sean, you got a good memory. Pass the old club 60 every morning on my way to work on Shalesmoor & the old doorway is still there to the cellar bar. The upstairs is a printers & i'd love to ask if i could have a look downstairs one day but he'd probably think i was mad (no comments!). Remember John O'Hara as he used to live in a flat on Harcourt Rd just below my Dads house. Had a Transit van with O'Hara's Playboys painted on the side. O'Hara's playboys moved to Germany i think & had a big following there in the 70s & 80s. Wonder what John O'Hara is up to now? Probably doing backstreet clubs with the likes of Frank White if he's still with us, hope he is.

Will pm it you Simon.

Errr i can't Shane. Not my bit of the site C'mon Baz, help him out mate.

& so you should be sorry. Oh how the mighty have fallen. All that power you once had & now it's all mine. Mine ya hear, all mine Well mine & Baz's.

Sorry Shane but i'd rather listen to Etta James than some poor imitation. Not only that, it's in the wrong part of the forum & who's gonna move it now youre gone . Should have used the clip player as well. Tut tut.....

Lets Stay Together - ? - white label test press 12500 refosoul Knew i had the cover of i'll be around somewhere & this is on the other side. No info on the artist though as it's on a white label test press. Guy sure can sing though whoever he is.

Just found the clip that Kenny posted up so you can have a listen. dont break that rule - marvell love -new world recordings 11022 refosoul Also worth looking out for Yesterdays Love by J D Jones on the same label. Very similar & if you like 1 you should like e'm both.

Just PM'd you Steve.

Too right Sean. Here's another that fits in nicely with the above list. Give A Smile - Betty Wright - 10475 refosoul Back to the sound quality topic though. Given the choice between a 7" or a 12" i'll always go for the 12" if possible as the sound quality's far superior but what's the best, a 12" that plays at 33rpm or a 12" that plays at 45rpm? Obviously the grooves are closer together on the 45rpm copy but it spins faster so what's the difference from a sound point of view?
