Happy Feet

The Conduit said he did , & so did the press or was it just a hoax , & yes it does matter , because the next buyer is probably going to get ripped off , 3 yrs later 50k profit , it's worth is probably nearer £20K tops .

Bullshit, it was outplayed in the late 70s , and thereafter , anyone with half a brain would never had payed 100k for a record only worth 25k , unless he wanted to make a statement , like the guys who payed $100 , for a barrel of oil , then wished they hadn't,

Tax dodge ? Considering what the tax man is following now,,, he Lee said he was going to give it a home for at least 10 yrs , 3yrs later ,,,

In case you missed it ,3 hrs of N S on Radio Sheffield, on the BBC iPlayer, great way to get your New Year's Eve Party going , so far bl**dy brilliant, Happy New Year Everyone , I know it's a repeat , first broadcast on 27/12/23 , but so many would have missed it ,

If anybody wants to start the party early , don't think it's been mentioned so far John Kane , 3 hrs non stop NS , on the iPlayer BBC Sounds , Christine Cooper ,Heartaches , currently spinning , just search on the top line of shows , Happy Northern Soul Year , Everybody ,( I know it's a repeat , but for those that missed it 27 / 12 / 23 ) so far brilliant ,,,,

This one's not to bad either , arrived late but well worth the wait ,

The Funk Brothers , I get the Sweetest Feeling , Instrumental version , nothing wrong with Jackie's version , just saying . Jackie Wilson , I Can't Help Myself , b/w, Shake Me Wake Me , with the Funk Brothers, moonlighting.

Rosemary Bailey , Life in a Postcard , escape to the french Pyrenees , We spent a few years down in Languedoc, and the Pyrenees in the 90s , building in some lovely picturesque places , La Radote & Corneilla-de-Conflent spring to mind , the latter only 22km. from where Rosemary was based , we where in the foothills of Mt. Canigou , spectacular but very dangerous at times weather wise , worth a read .

Give us a clue ? As all the evidence, from the media says he did pay 100k , " Make him an offer , he. can't refuse " I seem to remember was also in the sales pitch ,,,,

Check carefully it may be sooner , I have to renew before May 24 , and I'm only 66 ,,,,

Nope , but the Rib roast has finally been used up , Rib roast on Xmas day , Cold sandwiches with horseradish last night and the grand finally Chinese beef curry etc and the dogs , "Frankie & Koko ", got all the leftovers plus all the winter roast we couldn't manage , not a morsel wasted , and the Kids are now coming for the New Year instead , you should have seen the look on the faces of the dogs when we told them the good news , lol.

If only Berry Gordy and the rest of the " shall we release it or not crew " had said yes , it wouldn't have ever got this far , great tune when first played ,10k copies later bootlegs Eddie Foster c/u ,TM decide to release it in the UK , Clarkie was buying up as many UK demo's available to send to the US , everybody who wanted it had already bought a copy , Another bootleg this time with an instrumental, countless reissues & " Test Pressings " why is this Holy Grail unwanted so soon after the record news breaking price , why would you would put it back on the market so soon , makes you wonder , has somebody found a few more ??? purely speculation of course ,but these days nothing would surprise me ."Pops , We Love You " lol

Very impressive

I don't think the Beeb filmed this one , historical footage used although there is 2 maybe 3 documentaries covering the disco scene on the iPlayer at the moment & I was also surprised at the claim too , but it came from a guy who was very much involved with the Philly scene at the time , don't want to spoil it for those that haven't yet watched it .

It should go to Auction really , one of those starting at 99p , which would probably reveal it's true worth , or demand at this present time .

1st , Johnny Benavidez and Cold Diamond & Mink , Do What You Wanna Do , Timmion . 2nd ,Thee Sacred Souls , Running Away , Penrose . 3rd , Johnny Benavidez and Cold Diamond & Mink , Slow Down Girl , Penrose . 4th , The Sextones , Love Can't Be Borrowed , Record Kicks . 5th , Latasha Lee , I Don't Want You ,I.M.G. Records . Only shared the one , didn't want to flood the topic , but all 5 brilliant !

Thanks Tim, That has to be the most honest appraisal , description , like or dislike , call it what you like of any record ever, played on planet earth under the banner of Northern Soul , sheer brilliance .

Hi Dax , have pm'd

Mines in the post , cheers Rick for the heads up . Sure this would have gone down a storm at the 6ts & most probably any other 60s dance club , just looked at their Fan club web site and in 2006 they worked with the late great Andre Williams , not to be sniffed at .

All our Xmas plans have been postponed, not for any bad reasons , so just the 2 of us decided we're not going to bother with a Turkey and all the trimmings , gone for a Rib roast with YPs and a winter roast instead, cheese board & yes Xmas pudding creme brulee 1 big one to share , so no bread sauce for us this year

Just for the fun side side of things tasteful , instead of Cranberry sauce with your Turkey as anyone ever tried Winberrey or chuckleberry sauce , both red and very nice , I think they're possibly the same berry that grow wild in places like the moorlands of Shrewsbury , ie The Stiperstones , very nice .

And marmalade, without the brown sauce lol

Once again Soul Source Store deliver the goods even at this time of year, on time , a Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year to Mike & the team

As you may have guessed from my posts on this topic , I'm a bit of a cook and love experimenting with different flavours etc , about 25 yrs ago my wife told me I had to get rid of some of my 2k cookbooks , as our dining room was looking more like a Library than a dining room , but said I was allowed to keep my 100 favourites, and I hid this one in my favourite baking book , a freebie from at the NEC holiday show about 30 yrs ago , open your mind , lol .

Even better if you lightly toast the bread , but either way , delicious, just add black pepper, the bacon's salty enough lol .
