NUFCSOUL

pm waiting

David Ruffin - SOLD - and I call myself a 6T's man!!!!!!! It's whats in the grooves that counts though!

I've just got out 2 tunes mentioned to play them again - Dee Irwin - You Satisfy My Needs Big Maybelle - Oh Lord What Are You Doing To Me Superb! But anyone ever flip Patti Labelle - You Forgot How To Love on Atlantic and played out with All Or Nothing? Stirring stuff! But is has to be - Bobby Paris - I Walked Away - says it in all ways and a dancer to boot!

Orthea Barnes arrived no probs - and I'm well chuffed! Underated record IMO and Mint- Original sleeve and at 20 a bloody good deal. Just shows - price right and they fly

just done the pm thing!!!!!!!!

I know I did a - thanks in advance - but, what an answer!! I know it's been said many a time but it makes me think we should have a section of info like this. Search by artist name record etc and where you can see and hear all known versions along with all the bootlegs/counterfeits etc. A few years worth of work but worth it when you're spending hard earned cash on the the shiny black stuff! Cheers Roger - nice one and.... mines an East coast!

I know the boot/counterfeit was a white demo - but what about the red promo? Seen two versions - One with bold writing with the title at the top and stating PROMOTIONAL NOT FOR SALE on the right hand side. One in finer writing with the artist name at the top and stating D J COPY NOT FOR SALE this one is moulded over label. Can't find anything to say they are not 2 official releases - maybe different pressing times or plants? Thanks in advance for any clarification. Tony

Without sounding like I'm starting your fan club... but... This whole Jimmy Radcliffe thing is bloody brilliant!!!!!!! Keep it going mate - I love em all. Do you have a complete Jimmy sales list or just these acetates? Thanks.

Aye and that's why Pete put out his mint Ann Heywood on Yellow Hondo at 150 after it was 200 and it went like a bullet. I missed it but everyone on here wants 200 / 250 and as it shows he's got 150 to wheel and deal or pay the bills, while others have a record gathering dust. As for prices, you check the books - Browny and Manship, (who decides the price - ever wondered?) check all sales lists you have and see if it's about right for a minter. If you want it you buy it or pass it up and trawl ebay for years. By the way - a mint A Heywood - Yellow still needed - 150 ready and waiting or maybe a Black one for a ton. My trusted encyclopedia/dealer friend tells me that's really all they are worth. Opinions eh, that's what forums are for!!!!!

Mark PM hitting you now Cheers Tony

Adam A nudge ??? Records arrived safe & sound - crying me eyes out to Big Maybelle!!! Lovely stuff. Cheers Tony

Sean Record arrived safe & sound- now playing LOUD!! as you suggested. As we know the tune is very infectious. Cheers Tony

Sean PM'd ya - advice re post as well! Cheers Tony

Relatively new to the site (what's with all the politics/sniping? lifes hard enough)but great thread! Anyway not a rarity or high value story but a nice little discovery. Musically I've had many twists and turns but back in 75 and having been educated via Duncan Macs Sunday Soul nights at the Mayfair amongst others I was on a Post Office Telephones course in Manchester (now BT) - Whitworth St rings a bell. Anyway I hadn't found any records all week and on the last day lunch break I found this basement place. Been walking past the place all week! Rammed with hundreds of import LP's in no real order. Well, I'm nearly giving up when I flick to The Birth Of Rock on Scepter, Chuck Jackson, Any Day Now plus others(Rock?? well The Kingsmen were on it as well). Great, that will do! Then all in a line - Ruffin Brothers - I Am My Brothers Keeper on Soul, Archie Bell & the Drells - Tighten Up on Atlantic(Green/Blue/White), Edwin Starr - Soul Master on Gordy and The Very Best of Little Anthony and The Imperials on United Artists. On my meagre earnings at the time they must have been for nowt as I took them all. Today they are still filed together and stone mint with their little 'Specially Imported' stickers still stuck on! As I said not a fortune but just think of walking into such a place today and finding those stone mint with original inner bags - I'm sure you would take the lot! Cheers, KTF and 60's will prevail! Tony

What

It's also a fact that Record Collector usually don't include Northern prices when doing articles. A while back a feature on the 60's didn't even mention any soul records. Are they frightened or inadequate when it comes to this genre? They do include Northern etc on their ebay watch bit so at least they are aware of the situation. No doubt we'll see a most valuable soul record feature soon!
