Nice thread. Jeff Perry, ave it.

Hi John I don't know the answer to that; there are others far better informed than I am. The small article I posted was fairly recent, so assuming that was an accurate piece, and I have no reason to believe otherwise, it may be the case. Regards Peter

And he's thumping out those Church sermons every week. His faith comes first these days, but yes the man can still sing. Peter

Hey Sophie A big welcome to Soul Source. That's a very interesting introduction. I'm sure we all look forward to learning a bit more about you, as you learn a bit more about the site; and us lot! Regards Peter

I'm not really up to date with auction/general prices. However, Daybreak at £1,700? It's a fantastic record, one of my favourite modern sounds, I used to really annoy my mum, having first heard in Richard's set at Wigan, singing the chorus over and over again at home; "don't you know any more words to that song"?, "no mum". Peter

You've just got to do your homework Stephen; just as you've done for the northern soul things you've been buying. To answer your question more specifically, I've never had a bad deal because of the above. I have in the past bought records that have been covered up, at the cover up price, only for the record to be uncovered the next day, which saw the price drop. On other occasions more records have been found in quantity and again the price drops - sometimes, but not always. Other's may have been disappointed and feel hard done by, but I've always bought records on the basis that I like the record, and have budgeted for it. That's my approach and experience; others will have different experiences. I've had a number of collections over the years, but don't buy anymore. I gave my last collection away; for nothing, in 2019. I'm sure some people will balk at that and think I was stupid; I'm just a generous sort of chap. I do have the occasional regret, particularly as I've been unwell for the last three years, and now I could do with some money; but I'm ok with it. Regards Peter

Welcome to the site Stu. Fill yer soul boots! Peter

My friend Paul is a retired church Pastor, I call him Preacher Man. I nicknamed him that a while ago as I think it's a pretty cool tag. Anyway, rather randomly, Preacher Man, knowing I was interested in soul music, although I can't get him past the term "Northern Soul", spotted this in a Christian free paper which is distributed free in his church (and thousands of others). It's a very small piece about Eddie Holman. The photo bit is on the front cover, and the tiny other bit just inside the cover. I thought it was interesting enough to post here. Excuse the poor attempt at copy/cut/paste - you know what I'm like; someone may want to tidy my job up. Peter

Hi Chris Good job my friend. Dave and yourself continue to shine the light on quality soul records via the radio show and your Soul Listeners Choices cd's. Thanks too, to all the guests who share their record choices on the show. Peter

Hi Steve I'm still catching up on different stuff on SS. I've just seen this thread. Many congratulations on completing the book and the success in having it printed and distributed. I'll have a proper look later. Finally; I hope you're well Steve. Peter

You've put a bit of graft in there Malc. Good job mate. Thank you. Peter

It were me and you Baz.

What! Have they trolled people on here Karl, or are you referring to other social media accounts. They don't sound like very nice people.

I think that's a fair assessment Baz, and probably just about where I am, as an old man who started my journey with the music since I was a youngster, attending my first all niter in 1978. Of course many people were involved much earlier than I. Your comment regarding Otis Clay particularly resonates with me; I was only speaking about hm and his wonderful musical legacy yesterday. In fact I shared one of his tracks which was posted on a thread here with my friend Preacher Man, a retired Church Pastor. (My nickname for my friend taken from a number of great soul records). My final point would just be to say that there are of course a number of "big name", long time stalwarts of the scene, who make a living out of trying to recreate the "speed rinsed coolness we we’re brought up with". It just can't be done. Regards Peter

At least you've got a wife!

That's a really good shout mate, thank you. I watched the first series last night. Peter

World Cinema throws up a whole new experience in film viewing, as has been said my fellow SS'ers above. I think the French stuff is my favourite - it's just a really different experience. I don't have the right words or terminology, and I'm not as learnED as some of the other posters, but to me it's just more true to life, the characters aren't always glamorous, for example female actors are often sweaty, no perfect teeth, they're just real. That's not a great example from me, but you know what I mean. I've seen some amazing Belgian, Dutch, African stuff, along with my love of French produced stuff. I wonder whether World Cinema should have it's own thread - particularly as not everyone is a fan. Lots of people can't get past the subtitles. What does everyone else think? Mike, it's your shout, what do you think - we could include Welsh stuff! Peter

Hey Steve Happy Birthday my friend. All the best. Peter

That Sir is a very good shout. I watched those, the female cop is Brilliant series. Peter

He's nearly as bad as you Simon. Daniel Auteuil is probably my favourite French actor. He's made some brilliant movies, I'll post 36th Precinct this time. If you haven't seen it I'm happy to recommend it. Check out his other stuff too. Le genre cinématographique français is where it's at - it's just very different to UK/American stuff. Trempez vos orteils dedans. Pierre

French films and programmes are extremely good - I think they're filmed and staged very differently. Well, I like them. Has Mesrine been mentioned previously? Part one and two are very good viewing imo. I might watch them again this weekend if nothing else comes up. Watch out for his other films too - I'll post another up another time. Mesrine Part 1: Killer Instinct (2008) - IMDb

I have to confess that I didn't know too much about Winston William's, apart from his KWF connection. The obvious connection is Chris King, however, Winston merits his own mention on here, he achieved a great deal and worked with many artists known to us. I hope the link works. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/music/nottingham-chart-topper-kws-winston-williams-dies-after-a-music-filled-life/ar-BB1hhmgt?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=a310367aac58454da0af56944c5503cd&ei=35 With respect. Peter

Well having not watched any telly for nearly three years, due to my mentalist issues (), I have been royally spoilt. The first episode of Crime was brilliant watching; for some reason I just couldn't get on with the second episode. I just found the ex police officer, trans character, a little hard to believe. Probably just me. Then, I was once again enthralled by the two series of Fin, the Dublin based gangster story. A brilliant cast, some brilliant acting and a great story line. I hope they make a third series - I think the story line is open enough to make a third. Thanks for the heads up on these two. I spent the last two nights scrolling through loads of stuff - I eventually gave up and took the beast out for a walk. That in itself is thrilling, anxiety inducing. So, if any of the thread contributors have anything like the above two I would appreciate a tip or two. I may have to try Reacher tonight, that has had some recommendations on here. Thanks everyone, keep on viewing and keep the tips coming. Peter (I was tempted to use my 99 tag name; but I'm not sure if I still am Peter99 or just Peter, it's been some years now - I think over 15)

You copied that post from Paul. Peter
