A few more books on soul related subjects. All in as new condition, unread. Please PM if interested.

Hi all, I have a large selection of soul related books for sale. These have come from a bookstore, and are all in New condition. One or two may have incurred the odd scuff on the cover, while I've been moving them about, but they're all unread copies. I'm thinking a flat shipping rate of £4 per book and £1 for each additional book. Please PM me if interested. Here's the first ten. There's lots more to come. Thanks, Paul.

I’ve emailed the list to you. Thanks, Paul

I can then send you an excel file, which has all details, including links to track listings and photos. If you want anything, please quote the item reference number for clarity. Many thanks, Paul.

Looking for one of these (Oh What a night). Please PM. Thanks, Paul

I enjoyed listening to the thoughts of Booker T and David Porter. Two very interesting characters, still bursting with passion for the music they made.

Also Emile Griffiths was a pro boxer - hence his Going Going Gone on Tangerine, a great record. I read that he killed an opponent in the ring and was never able to come to terms with it.

Popcorn Wylie’s Move over Babe on Carla. I understand it’s a celebration of Hank (Henry) Aaron breaking Babe Ruth’s record for most home runs in Major League Baseball.

I declined a ticket offered by my sister, a regular proms attendee. Thought it would be awful. Reading some of the comments on here, I decided to listen to the whole thing on BBC Sounds. On the whole I thought they made a good job of it. Largely faithful to the original recordings and the singers had some talent. The commentary avoided most of the common embarrassments, when the modern media talks about “Northern Soul”. Always liked Stuart Maconie’s work, and this does his reputation no harm. On reflection, I think I probably should have accepted the ticket.

Check out King Errison in the Kiss Kiss lounge in the Bond Movie, Thunderball. Awesome.

And Second City Sound had a decent go at it on Major-Minor. Birmingham group maybe?
