A little glut of the 45 turned up last year on ebay all in great condition out of Richmond where it was recorded..... I got the last one (I think) and the seller told me August Moon had been knocking around trying to buy all the copies of his SOS stuff he could find in order to sell them to the UK. How true that really is I don't know but it wouldn't be surprising.

Hi really after a copy of this.... VG+ upward if poss mulf@hotmail.co.uk Cheers!

Fingers crossed someone will find a big box of minty Prophets on Shrine..... .....and I've woken up.

Hi Marc Have replied via RSF pvt message Cheers Joel M.

I heard Rob Messer had a copy...not sure how accurate this is tho'.......

Hi In desperate need of this. Cash waiting......cheers! Joel mulf@hotmail.co.uk

I've called variously (by my bosses) an: ageophile, saddo, wazzer, oldie-botherer and nerd. I've been told as a 25 year old I should be listening to 'modern' (by which I think they mean Blazing Squad or similar) music and not, I quote 'music for old men'. But then they like Teddy Pendergrass....work that one out....... One of them said he was going to reduce my wages when he saw me bidding over £700 on a record. He was actually seriously angry for a few moments! Luckily my old man toyed with mod in the sixties and my girlfriend is mental for both Chicago r&b and anything by Lee Rogers so I get by just about.

Three I've found my non scene mates really like (all in their early to mid twenties) Jimmy Ellie - I'm Gonna Do It By Myself John Bowie - You're Gonna Miss A Good Thing Nat Hall - Why

Keeping it real is what its all about. Just like Westwood.....born and raised in the ghetto. (though piss taking aside he has done a lot for the promotion of hip hop in this country apparently......whether thats your thang or not)

Who wants recognition from someone as inept as Nelson anyway? As long as the artists are happy with how the scene treats their music (which from Sidney Barnes, Gwen Owens, and Lou Prides reactions I'd say they largely, are) then thats all the props you need, surely. The impression I got from Nelson's childish behaviour on that awful series was that he will only give something credit, if a.) he can make some moolah out of it, and b.) he gets personal recognition for it. If he wants to challenge that let him present a series that actually properly explores the history of soul music in this country from the perspective of both the black and white fans without making comments which clearly show his immaturity and lack of passion for the subject. For example, the Northern episode could have benefitted from interviews with ordinary black British soul fans, who could of given their perspective of how they see the scene and what they think of the records. That would of at least counteracted his biased mumblings. No ones suggesting it should of just been northern fans gushing about how great it all is, but there was no balance to the structure of the programme. But I also reckon its the fault of the programme makers. It suggested none of them really cared about the subject at all. Cheers, Joel

The Hector Riviera is a really hard record to get...... Also got to agree the David Coleman is superb.....deserves more exposure, although it has had a fair bit in the mod clubs. Also very fond of the Harvey Averne....looks like theres a queue forming for that one too... Out of interest, isn't the Rocky Gil on Teardrop a latin group, and also The Enchantments on Faro.....?

Tim's one is the Updown copy which has the heavy duty brasswork in it, the Hull one dosen't have that, hence the price difference. Still good price for the Hull copy though. I think TB books the Updown at £700 but its no more than a £500 record top whack really, quite a few have turned up on ebay, and I sold a M- one a month ago for £400 on the nose.

Without doubt one of the best soul recordings I've ever heard, I'd go so far as to say possibly the best.

Now £200 Cheers Joel

No worries, cheers for the tip off anyway... Great record!

Good idea. What are you guys going to be selling then?

yeah alright then

Manships one went well quick.

Gloria Grey - Sweet World - WB red issue EX+ £80 Joe & Ann - Running & Fooling - Hermitage M- £100 (currently on an auction site for £200) mulf@mgv.co.uk

I bought mine at £125 two years ago in Prestatyn, this year saw it there for £200, (both red issues) just asked someone on a list about one and they want offers over £300 (didn't say if it was a demo or not). I assumed it had gone up after Manship sold it.
