  1. Put some scans up and a sound file ?
  2. It’s playing ok here. Love that Florida soul sound.
  3. Would be interesting to hear what bargains people manage to snag….
  4. I did see something on instagram about a half price sale for all of January. On all items apart from auction items. might be some decent prices at that ?
  5. Both on my list of things to watch
  6. Went to the bomb quite a few time myself and also under its previous name the hippo which was a good club. i moved to Nottingham autumn 93 after Venus shut that summer so missed that but heard great things about the place.
  7. If I’ve got the address right I believe the dungeon also played an important role in Nottingham night life as Venus.
  8. Jimmy raye Philly dog was the record that got me into northern. Raw energy an awesome record.
  9. Certainly not what I would class as a 60s stomper. Sulerb record but more mid tempo as you said. I switch between this and Bobby jones love both versions.
  10. I thought Frederick Hymes was played in progressive northern clubs in a similar way things like James bell were never really considered it a modern record.
  11. There were loads of others Pete this one just sticks as I let one get away
  12. What’s the one record you spent a long time trying to snag a copy but for what ever reason didn’t manage it. for me it’s Thomas Bailey “just won’t move” on king i was even watching a copy on eBay that went really cheap but forgot to bid. Other than that copy I hardly ever saw it. there are lots of others but they were already expensive and had lots of demand so always went over what I was willing to pay.
  13. 150 dollars if I remember right when exchange rate was 2 dollars to 1 pound ?
  14. I don’t disagreee with this but to me when a record is around in the qty this is then it’s time to look elsewhere when it comes to spending. Dont see the point in paying current market price I don’t see the value in doing that.
  15. One of the unknown cover ups on a proper record…. mighty lovers for one.
  16. My thoughts are 250 is plenty for fred hymes I wouldn’t consider it rare and there were enough copies for everybody who wanted one. and in recent times it’s had lots of hammer so a bit predictable for a DJ spot ?
  17. Fred Hymes way over what it should be and regularly sells for ? madness I pity the people hearing these things for the first time now as these prices make it unrealistic.
  18. That determination to own a record you are aware of and want for a long time is something that must happen to us all. I know I’m guilty of it and have also then sold the items once I’ve owned them a while.
  19. Lillie Bryant all time great fantastic northern.
  20. Excellent shows Chris a regular listen on my drive to work
  21. When I sold obscure ballads most went back to states or Japan but that was a while ago now. There obviously are UK based collectors but I don’t think they are the majority for this sound.
  22. I think the desperation to be 18 and have access to the adult world of pubs and clubs will happen forever with all generations. Sneaking in underage has some kudos to share stories with your mates. Exactly Its an embarrassment to all that’s good about rare soul and the rare soul scene.
  23. It probably is a time where many will step aside and let next generation put there spin on things. How old now people who attended Wigan etc 60 or older ? not sure I want to adapt to this new social media created scene. i preferred things how they used to be. How they still are as well in some places.
  24. Off all the attempted revivals and attempts to attract new comers this has to be the most commercialised and marketed era yet. It’s non stop and coming from a lot of directions. Just typifies the social media world we now live in. please let it stop….
