oh dear, talk about a misconception. The concept of a silent disco is that people listen to the DJ through wireless cans, not their own iPod ROFL

I have one and I also have the other 5 releases on the label and was going to sell all 6 as a set, if you're interested drop me a PM, they are all in plain white sleeves btw, Cheers Sutty

That record is EXTREMELY special if you ask me!

Scratching in the run off is done at the time of the cut by the cutting engineer, the lacquer he has cut is then sent off for mastering at the pressing plant. It has nothing to do with the pressing plant or the value of the record, it's whoever was in the cutting room at the time that asked for the words or symbols to be scratched in. Often it's just the catalogue number to identify the master lacquer. A pressing plant may then have their own stamper that also goes in the run off to identify where it was pressed. Porkys Prime Cuts is one of the most well known UK scratches as stated above. George Peckham was a top man in the cutting room... If you booked it before the lunchtime pub session, after which it could go either way Cheers Sutty

https://youtu.be/R6Qjbxzl99Q back in ye oldene days when I was foolishly booked to play records to an unsuspecting public, this was something I spun occasionally and people danced. I've done my research and nobody has ever mentioned it in this forum and there is no googleable content of any other claims to it being 'massive' anywhere. It's a cheap LP on Buddah, and I think it's got the longest title of any record I own... 'God has blessed our hands... A musical tribute to a people's struggle for equality'. And most bizarrely, he's got Rance Allen playing guitar and not singing on it. so there cheers Sutty

and the instrumental is on 'slaughters big rip off' under the title 'straight ahead' to complete the trio cheers Sutty

Music and goods exchange is over priced with bad condition generally since they closed the soul and dance and moved into that small space. Music exchange in soho has a section of about 8 shite common albums and no 45s. Selecta disc is new releases only. Sounds of the universe is new release with a small selection or originals downstairs that are not particularly exciting, and they don't change that often, I've seen the same lps in there for 5 years+ unsold. The only place left on berwick at is the reopened reckless records but it's a shadow of its former self. Used to enjoy an hour or two wandering round nothing hill and soho, I don't usually bother going there at all anymore, it's a waste of time unless you are super lucky, which I've not been for a few years and nobody I know has either. Flashback is worth a look but their 'filing system' is a bit odd, but nice people and you can turn stuff up, but you need to sent some time in there as there's a lot of tat. Be prepared to get on your knees and dig it's a good old fashioned record shop. I'm afraid the days of finding gems in good condition at a reasonable price in Central London are mostly gone now, not surprising considering their rates and bills alone must be extortionate, Sorry! Cheers Sutty

He did, but its not very good

When Okeh records signed Major Lance in 1962 with the belief that 'colored music on vinyl is the future' they certainly never saw how wrong they would get it, for clearly it was 'music on colored vinyl' that was the future. We must express our thanks and respect to Eric Morecambe who later made sense of the situation with his infamous 'all the right words, but not necessarily in the right order'. If I could predict one outcome from all this, it's that this thread won't stay open long enough for the sale to go through

does it have the Monarch stamp at 2 o'clock?

LP only track, I'd be in the queue too if there was one. Also check Derrick Harriotts version which is top notch Cheers Sutty

Surely not Portugal Ian, that hotbed of tasteful inspirational soul we have all grown to love over the years! Good to see Ronaldo nominated for another Grammy for his fancy footwork as well, they'll be wanting to join the EU next and turn up in their 1000's at Dover claiming our benefits and spunking it all on white lightning and cheap mp3s of chart-topping northern soul music whilst dressed as extras from a Jackie fashion shoot. I'll give it six months tops before our airwaves are irreversibly poisoned by this tripe and the government imposes forced riverdancing for under 12s

Remarkable, the record was passed onto DW in the late 80s from RS who had previously got it from Robin in the early 90's, yet it's been in the same collection for 30+ years, which puts it before 1983 and around the time it was first discovered by someone else before Robin had it, so changing hands several times yet still remaining in the possession of one person and going back in time as well as forward simultaneously Or something. The fact it managed to traverse time itself several times makes it a unique item for any budding H.G. Wells fan, i'm in and so is Professor Brian Cox! ;)

Downloads are shoddy, no tagging of artists or box title, no artwork, no thought at all Records are all in there and play fine but try telling that to my iphone!

i've commented twice on sales on here, never again, First time I pointed out it was a ridiculous sale but in a light hearted manner, this resulted in a torrent of personal abuse offlist. Second time the thread got shut down. You can't help some people, I read sales on here every day and a lot are form the same people listing bargains that are over-priced and I bet they don't sell many of them, like some others I dont even bother reading their lists anymore. Some sales lists are the same sales over and over again and I really feel like saying, if you make your prices more reasonable, you might not have to copy and paste that list for the umpteenth time. Each to their own, personally I prefer to sell the things i've had for sale rather than sit it out til time immemorial trying to get an extra 20-50% of the realistic price I might get for them a record has been listed today for offers that is available on the web starting at £3. cheers Sutty

Trying to be helpful, took me a long time to shift Percy and the Image band for £20. There are copies readily available from sellers from about £30 at the mo, but they're not sold copies. You'll never get £60 for it.

Plenty do but don't play them just because they are rare, but because something else just as quality is a better option at the time LOL

Lol yes it is your imagination running wild, it was released on 45/LP in 1971... . Maybe it lives in the same imaginary box as the imaginary original 12 of Eddie Kendrick's date with the rain

utter nonsense comedy record, i'll break the sales rules and if anyone wants mine for next to nothing drop me a message, the other side was mildly amusing when I was a youngster ROFL comedy sale of the day LITERALLY

Hi Russ There are very few people in Brighton on 'the northern scene', I was at Paddy's do Sat as I was playing in the modern room and it's well run and very packed. But it's a predominantly a local oldies crowd for the northern side, Paddy runs a commecial soul night every month and gets 100's in and they are the people that were there, I doubt 99% of those people had ever been to any other allnighter than Paddy's and they're certainly not looking for anything they haven't heard before. Which is fine, it's what they want. The odd free Volks do's are predominantly oldies and rnb/mod sounds and not well attended, there are more people from the mod scene usually than the soul scene. Simon is right in one way, Brighton is a soul desert in many ways apart from a handful of people, certainly not enough to make a decent crowd for what you are trying to do. Also, accommodation is expensive and hard to get all year round. I'd like somethng to happen here and if I thought it would work i'd be up for working with someone on it, but to be frank, ive tried doing anything other than what I would consider to be 'more commercial northern' and it's a complete waste of time, nobody is interested here m8. There are much stronger scenes going west along the coast. The only things that ever worked soulfully were when we moved away from northern and concentrated on a small modern room with the main room being house, bringing in a different crowd altogether. Despite what people think there is very little heritage of northern in Brighton, it's a transit town where a large % of the population are students, so it's all more about fashion. So, sorry to be negative but I think it's a mountain you'll never climb unless you're expecting 50-150 to attend. Also bear in mind as Andy says, names don't attract punters down here as nobody know who they are, it's more of a word of mouth social scene not related to the rest of the country, so you do need a lor of travellers, and generally i always found the M1 only goes north for most people LOL cheers Paul

They're great comps and it would have cost a fortune to by them all on 45's, not that you'd ever get them all anyway

These are pretty odd too, I believe they originate from Holland and were pressed for the Surinamese scene there, they are a mixture of deep, southern and surinamese soul. Never seen a volume 2 of any of them and the covers are all dodgy as hell cheers Sutty

nothing like that on them Mal, just cheekily 'all rights reserved Soul From The Vaults' lol

Anyone know the origins of these series of unofficial albums, I have a bunch of 'artist' ones (WIllie Hightower, Wiggins Brothers, Barbara Brown, James Phelps v George Freeman, Bobby Harris, Danny White, etc) and also 5 volumes of 'Rare Deep Dynamite'. They're all mainly deep stuff. Who did them? I've seen pics of a 'sweet' series as well. I bought them years back in 1 hit in a 2nd hand shop, somebody walked through the door with the lot and sold them as 2nd hand. They're great comps, and top quality sound recorded from vinyl. cheers Sutty
