I used to get the lists from Soul Bowl and bought some bits and pieces - mainly seventies and eighties stuff. I guess a lot of people on here know John Anderson fairly well - I don't, apart from exchanging cheques and orders and the odd phone call when something was out of stock. However, his courteous service and general friendliness left a lasting impression - can still recall the odd nice note he would enclose with yer discs.
Thought I'd share that.
Got hassled at Birmingham once - it was only some piss taking at me patchwork denim bags - thinking back they probably should've slapped me. Those denim bags were shite - even me mother said they looked crap.
There was then the fight outside Notts Odd Fellows niter in Leics - early 80's. That was really down to some NF lot I think - shouting filth at a couple of the Notts lads we were with. I think it is fair to say that they were taught a lesson in education.
I totally agree mate - soul music at it's best. I'm not sure where I heard if first - but definitely think it was one of Sam's. Npw there's a man who loves and knows his soul.

I never played the flip of Sad Girl - and sold the record a few years back - it was mint, always regret selling. Any chance of a clip of the flip?
Cheers mate.
I loved the Daybreak track - still do. I had a copy and sold it dirt cheap!
Along with Charles Johnson, Mind and Matter, Swiss Movement, Bobby Reed, ZZ and Co, Greg Perry etc.
Great music, great times.
