Jackie Dee - Who and yes, it's on Refosoul. - Kev

Welcome to Soul-source! Nice to know where you stand, right from your very first post, as we all have different views. Me? Bootneck, I mean Bootleg? - no, I'd rather have the real thing. - Kev

I think we're also talking about the guy who put out The Lyrics - So Glad I'm In Love, as Toby Bullard on Flodavieur. The replies I got were from Mamie (I think) Giattano - or some similar name. I got a copy with very poor sound quality. That was promptly replaced with a similarly rough copy. After further complaint and a "I'll show you what sort of guy I am" reply (from Mamie ) it was replaced with the Royal Esquires. No real delays in my case, just a pain in the @rse with the two duff copies of what I suspected was, and has since proved to be, a boot. Very wary now of any Las Vegas sellers that could be the same people.

Simon, I was gonna call you but the Ear Ring put me off. Sincerely hope you had a bit of time to yourself over Christmas! - Kev.

Simon, you've obviously re-kindled the charitable notions of a good few people on here. Well done again mate. It's about time this thread was bumped to somewhere it can be easily found. Merry Christmas, and highest Regards, - Kev.

I think you've made us all feel good about ourselves. Spend your day relaxing together - not with the keyboard. There's all of next year for that!

Too true Sean. I would imagine that keeping a roof over your head is just the start of it if things are really going wrong for you. 80 odd people have helped - there were 152 active on the site, and plenty more still on their way home from work or the pub. Don't stop now! Pete, I might add you to my "friends" list - just in case I'm ever in the shite!!!

That's made my Christmas!

I agree with you Ian, it is fantastic. I missed your earlier thread on this but well done for planting the seed. Merry Christmas mate! - Kev

15 years old? She could be nominated for this for the next 25 years then! Best of luck to Rosie, Azza, and all the youngsters who have discovered this scene and all that is special about it. - Kev.

That's a fantastic response Pete! But if you're reading this for the first time, don't think that all is OK now - I don't know the guy but by all accounts Fingers has had the bailiffs around and loses his house on 4th Jan. Keep it coming.

And having just re-read Fingers post on Simon's "Soulies needing a hand"" thread, I've also sent a PM to (hopefully) keep his spirits up. It's so heart warming to be reminded that the spirit of Christmas is alive and well in Soul-land.

Simon, not only have you selflessly offered yourself up here, but you have reminded us all of the impotance of Faith, Hope, and Charity at this time of year especially. Well done Bro. - Kev.

Drew, if you click on someones name above their avatar, you will go to their profile. On the left is a list which includes "send me a message", just click on it. -Kev

Well done Pete! I was going to get a bollocking anyway for overspending on vinyl. I can do without the latest intended buy. - Kev

I left Northampton in 1971 and don't get up there too often - which is why he got away with it for the whole 2 weeks that he lasted (no stamina). Come to think of it, if she was an old school friend of mine she must have been well past her best-before date.

No, don't get your coat Dave. You've answered exactly what I was wondering about but couldn't be @rsed to look up for myself. Thanks !!!!

My brother was mistaken for me by an old school friend who ended up sh@gging him senseless. He never even had the decency to let on he wasn't me - or more importantly to find out who she was and let me know. So, whoever you are that frequents Motown do's around Northampton and used to go to Roade Secondary School - it wasn't me, OK !!!

It's rumoured that "Spaceland" - Tony Hestor, was about to be released as a single. At the last minute the "Going To A Happening" vocals were put to the backing track in an attempt to cash in on the success of the likes of "Going To A GoGo" and "Everybody's Going To A Love-In". I haven't checked out the plausability of this theory......release dates etc, but I'm sure someone on here posted this up before. Can anyone enlighten us? - Kev.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Ah....at last I've found out how to use it! It works fine Mike, though I don't know if it's just me not liking change but I sort of prefered it as it was. In the meantime, and during my confused period, I've been searching for tracks on youtube and to be honest find that easier, quicker, and preferable. Like I say - maybe it's just me. - Kev

Quite nice, but I fail to see why you list it on Ebay as Uptempo. Which side were you refering to?

Nah, actually NOT fair play at all. To post such a strongly worded initial post and then in reply to me state "I may be mistaken..." and "I'm not trying to fuel speculation..." is a bit out of order IMO without something more concrete to go on. Her's what you said, remember.... "Apparently a French time-waster is trying to rip people off as he's just put up for a sale an amazing batch of rare records only. The set sale goes from Pike 12" to Solid Gold revue LP ! That guy is jocking, isn't he ???? He's put more than $30000 records worth in the same batch using soul and funk musicc related label scans ! You can easily recognize him as he's the one with solid stuff only ! He doesn't even have one of those records for sale, so be carefull about that and try to spread this message around you so that nobody would loose his money in this fake market ! Make sure you don't take part to his fake auctions otherwise you will be loosing what you've worked for and you won't receive any of those great records !" Anyway, I'm getting involved in just the sort of thing that I try to refrain from on this site, so no more from me. Kev.

Well, if you had only an honest intent to warn us, fair play to you because you've certainly bought it to our attention. For the sake of those bidding I hope you are wrong Like Arkwright says...."We'll j j j just have to wait and s see". -Kev.

Maybe, but the responses seem similar to those on here in that all but the original poster seems slightly confused. I 'm probably barking up the wrong tree but maybe "freestylemaniac" on that site, and "funk-addict" on here, are one and the same Only one person can answer the question I guess.
