Soul-slider

Jimmy Steward Jr. - Convince Me - Coral This is in-demand at the moment....it's definitely making waves and several of my buddies are after it. It's so catchy R&B, been sticking it on CDs and always gets a good response. Were once £10 from Beatin' Rhythm but try finding one now!

I have this O'Jays album...absolutely brilliant...their second album release and best! Gotta be rare?

'I Can't Forget About You'...excellent track...out and out group Northern Soul! Buy it now while it's cheap!!!

Got a couple by him on UK Ska Beat...don't know this one though, is it soul?

leon_haywood___mellow_l.p.bmpThis, for me, epitomises sixties soul!

'Since I Lost My Baby'....The Temptations....the line "but after i've been crying all night, the sun is cold and the new day seems old'.... Been there, done that.

Album was called 'Best Of Northern Tracks' on Spark as someone's already said. Still got it!

oh, think it's something to do with the move...i'll check it again at a later date.

Can't agree more! This really infuriates me, it beggars belief too that some UK dealers charge £2.50 for postage for one 45 record! and that's NOT recorded delivery either! (Not that you really need that anyway, you should be covered by Ebay, Paypal upto £500). Where do they get these postage prices from? Fact: One 45 record costs about 46p to post in the UK, and about $4 (£2.30) from the USA standard rate(Craig Moerer only charges $3.50). Ok, so add on a wee bit for packing. One guy in the States wanted to charge me $25 (that's about £15!!!!) to post an L.P...I told him to get stuffed and he promptly reduced it to $12, just proves it's part of their money making scam! On the other hand, if you're getting The Magnetics on Bonnie for $5 you don't mind paying $25 postage!!! LOL!!!!!!

I had one of hers on Verve Folkways which was bordering on Northern called....'Stoney End'. Also had one of her first albums which had loads of soul on it but can't remember what it was called now and I think that was on Verve Folkways.

Off the top of my head, probably a Sam Cook tune. Some say Ray charles with 'What'd I Say'. In Northern Soul terms it'd be an eary Motown tune surely. I dunno, perhaps Eddie Holland 'Jamie' or something.

Wow! £12! where? I want 5 copies please! No, seriously...gotta be at least £40...but i have seen it for £60...it's in-demand and brilliant! The flip is great also and has had some spins 'I Hate To Be The One To Say'...

Yeah, that sounds about right. Mines just a boot on Hipsville! with the Mr. Dynamite & The Quick (Bert's Apple Crumble) on the flip. As I said earlier it's titled as 'Mongo Bongo' (daft I know!) but you're probably spot on with Monguito Santa Maria, probs came out in the USA then, latin soul no doubt?

Thanks for that, been bugging me for ages. Presume they're British then, that will explain why no USA release.

Complete balls up, sorry...should have been the flip Mr. Dynamite - 'Sh'Mon' ...came out on Sue in UK and goes for loads, last one I saw went for £300!!! I'm pretty sure Mr. Dynamite is Mitch Ryder.

I'm after some U.S.A sleeves, don't see them often...they're red & white stripes with a simple U.S.A (might have the map design too like the label, not sure). Tried covers 33 but they aint got any...must be rare! anyone place a scan up?

If you have a Morrisons supermarket near you they had the Temps dvd for a couple of quid in their dvd/cd baskets. There's also a couple of Northern cds & a nice Mod one (all original artists, no modernised versions) for a couple quid too! agree with you Baz, David Ruffin (listen to his Motown albums, especially the first 2 and last one - 'In My Stride') had a fantastic voice....alas, flawed genius like most are.

Agree with this guy, does sound like Mitch Ryder, evn the backing sounds very familiar to his band The Detroit Wheels. while on the subject of mr.Ryder, I also have a re-issued 60's boogaloo/soul type record which is big on the Funk scene called 'Hey Sister!' by some guy called 'Mongo Bongo'... can't find it listed anywhere and i'm pretty sure it's Mitch Ryder too!

Phew, looking at your lengthy list you've a few good un's...as far as i can see these are the only boots/second issues: POETS (originally on Symbol) DYKE & BLAZERS (originally on Original Sound) SAPPHIRES (originally on ABC) DALTON BOYS (originally on V.I.P) having said that, there is a £75 (or thereabouts) record in there, presuming it's an original ABC 45...the Jackie Lee - One For The Road should have the Northern Soul in-demander 'Darkest Days' on the flip. Hope this has helped, John

Thanks for that Mike, 'Open The Door...' is a good modernised version, yeah that's Willie Garcia ex Midniters lead vocalist. 'open...' would'nt sound out of sorts at any venue! love to hear Jaggerz version of 'i'll never forget you'.

--> QUOTE(Mike B @ Apr 6 2006, 08:13 PM) link Top tune One of my recent bargains from Gemm this - $3 each for two unplayed copies - listed as rock records by the bloke who once booked them in New Orleans Mike This group is another of those blue eyed 'garage' groups who sometimes turned their attention to soul. Question Mark & the Mysterians showed a lot of them the way by getting into the charts with their '96 Tears'...maybe 'The Q' took their name from them because i know they were held in great regard by all the other unknown garage groups of the 60's....if you look deep into our scene you'll find hundreds of these type of groups with Northern classics under their belt. I think 'James Lewis & Case Of Tyme' falls into this genre.. so it was a good cover up to call!

mmm...difficult one, the thing is there are loads of young people (17-30) who are well into the Rock n Roll / Rockabilly scence and paying high prices for rare Rock n Roll records, i've seen 'em at record fairs and the such in their heavy denim jeans, leather jackets and quiffs! the same will be said for Northern Soul records, lets face it, our kids know that they're valuable even if they don't particluarly care at the moment (they will do when we croak it and they think there's some mullah to be made that's for sure!). I've talked about this many times with friends and I still think there will be a Soul scene of some sort in another 30/40 years...it'd be interesting what other people think. One thing's for sure, the 60's especially will always be a very collectable era with oldies and youngsters alike...some see as the epitome of music. Meanwhile, here's one to ponder...is swing, jazz etc from the 1940's still collectable? Perhaps all the o.a.p's can't afford them on their pensions!

Holby City is all make believe of course and after we'd finished shooting the scene, the patient was released from the operating theatre sent home. We had two or three more scenes to shoot and I was chatting to the make up girls later between takes. One of them mentioned the patient and how it had been easy for them that day because although the prosthetics department had to simulate the open heart surgery for the camera, they had nothing at all to do to make the patient look really ill. That patient was Rob Messer. " I have a feeling the epsode in qusetion is due either this week or next week.
