    Some people are just too stupid for words. I had the same problem once with the 2nd issue of Hank Jacobs' "Elijah...." on Call Me. Muppets shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a computer.

    I tried spinning at an allnighter at Loughborough, went over on my ankle and ripped the ligaments!

    And also recorded by Wilie Charles Gray on SSS International.

    I use the same boxes as Chalky but the 18 Litre XL ones that hold 200 singles at a time. I also have 35 Litre XL ones that hold about 90 LPs.

    An essential tool for anyone into Jamaican music.

    Fascinating! Why don't these little LPs ever show up for sale? Never seen any. As a sidenote, did anyone else think that "Find Yourself Another" was a Jerry Butler record when they first heard it?

    A wonderful singer that appealed to many soul and jazz fans not just Northern fans. R.I.P.

    Better idea if you stick all songs in a hat and draw them out like the FA Cup!

    I've had a few decent records from that place in France mate but I agree, most of their records are overpriced and battered - they try charging a fiver for stuff that's Fair or Poor even. I don't understand their pricing logic at all.

    I met him at briefly at the Cala Gran Weekender in 2000, said hello and shook his hand. I could tell in those two minutes alone that he was a top top man. "Do I Love You" is my fiancee's favourite record of all time as well. R.I.P. Frank and thanks for one of the greatest records ever.

    Cracking New Orleans tunes, what do they go for?
  14. Biggordy
    Yep it's very confusing, the yearly ones have the entire singles on A&B sides plus a few tunes from the actual Melodisc label.

    Fleetwood Cala Gran. Went the years that Frank Wilson and Gene Chandler were on. Not only great for the acts and DJs but the camaraderie(sic?) between people, was my early days on the scene (didn't start til I was mid 20s) and it was great to randomly bump into people I'd met a few weeks before at nights or niters. Second year was when it totally pissed it down the last night and I ended up with a bad cold that I couldn't shake off for weeks, but it was worth it.

    All legal and above board. Not sure when the new laws come in but I'm afraid that 1962 may be the last stuff that most of us see reissued as they're making it 70 years instead of 50 soon for something to be in copyright.

    Only soul shop that I know is Soul Brother in Putney near Putney train station, they deal mostly in modern and jazz funk but they might have a bit of 60s soul and R&B in.
  18. Biggordy
    Thanks everyone!

    I had the first two R&B Indies but sold them so I could get the Soul Discography instead. I plan to buy the complete next set of R&B Indies when they're due. As Chalky said, they're never gonna be 100% complete but at a wild guess they're probably about 70 to 80% complete.

    Thanks for this great link. Someone tie a rope around me so I can make it back to Soul Source for a while each day

    I've got the Billys. The shelves on mine are fitted so there's one rack of LPs then one of 45s, then another of LPs, then one of 45s then two top ones of LPs. The rest of my 45s are in the 18 litre strong plastic boxes from the Really Useful Box Company.

    The missus and I will be going to Spain for the week at the end of May and we'll be going to the Costa Brava (not sure exactly where yet), Are there any good soul bars or events in the area? Not bothered it it's oldies, modern, crossover, whatever, just some soul will be nice. How far is Barcelona from the coast and could we get a bus or train back in the wee small hours? Cheers Gordon

    I didn't have much deep soul before owning these, they were my gateway to the slower deeper stuff. I then went out and got the Eddie & Ernie, Kelly Brothers, Wallace Brothers, Kings Serious Soul 1 and 2 and Jean Wells CDs. More recently I got the Spencer Wiggins, Howard Tate, Candi Staton and Doris Duke CDs on Kent. If pushed I reckon I'm more of a deep soul fan than northern fan these days (due to not being able to get out much and doing a lot of home listening). Greatest deep soul 45 record of all time for me is Theola Kilgore's cut of "The Love Of My Man".
