Most Memorable Live Soul Group
over many years of also dj'ing in night clubs i have seen 100's of acts thinking back over the years some of my highspots were seeing the chilites jackie wilson gladys knight & the pips eddie holman (and yes he really could hit those high notes in hey there lonely girl) there's just a few that totally impressed me!! last sat night saw me add to this list with the performance of the fab peps to be 10 foot away and see the emotion they put into each song was "awesome" max

The Begining Of The Rare Soul Scene
yes i must agree we do see them turning up on a regular basis while it is more than likely the uk copies are the same old copies that are changing hands and if things carry on as they are with more & more imports being found the uk copies will become more and more collectable. of course there is that bone of contention that the uk release is just a second issue!! the american the original issue! the wonderful world of northern soul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! max

The Begining Of The Rare Soul Scene
hi harry yes i think you are right! most uk things seem to be available at quite reasonable prices compared to the import rarity. it is good to see that some original uk releases are fetching solid prices, say 2 to 3 times the cost of the import equivelent. max.

The Begining Of The Rare Soul Scene
turning into a very interesting topic!!! casting my mind back to the late 60's i think that quite a few people had realised that some uk releases were hard to find! even to the point that in some cases issues were rarer than demo's. with the advent of u/s/a imports arriving in mass amounts, one could be forgiven for not thinking anything could be that rare!! after all how big was america! there must be 1000's of copies of everything!! how wrong we were proved to be! little was known back in those early day's about records being made in small quantities and sold in a local area of a town or city, what was not sold could have been stored by a group member,song writer,producer, or even the guy who paid for the pressing, or even destroyed! i for one know that if we had known the situation and how few copies had ever been made most of us would have never sold anything! i can remember being offered £20-40 for a record back in the very early 70's & refusing to sell anything that was dancefloor friendly because i needed them to keep punters happy, i did sell one or two that people just would not take too,even after weeks of playing them at least twice a night,giving the tune every chance to break & go massive!! one such record that just nobody would dance to at the time which really killed me dead was the professionals on groove city went on to become a monster some 5 years later!! max
