Soulman

Well hello my dear and welcome to Soul Source. Long time no speak. Hope you are well and still "cooking". I'm sure you'll have fun on here Steve Handbury (Manifesto)

Hi, Need to go rooting but I'm sure I have a Blood Hollins in really nice condition. Leave it with me unless you get sorted in the meantime. I'll have a look later this evening Best Steve

Hi Andy, Yep, letting it go. Time for me to get out of the scene. Dont buy anymore, dont really go places and am a little jaded by everything at the mo. Like you, I've been in it a long time and never dropped out, even through the dark days. Time to move on methinks. Hope youre well (and family). Best to all in and around the home town. Steve

Thought I'd give Soul Sourcers the opportunity to make an offer on the following before they go on the dreaded EvilBay Cecil Washington "I Dont like To Lose" Prophonics (A fine example of this Northern standard. No marks on label) Sharpets "Lost In The World Of A Dream" Sound City (Quality old school Northern in damn fine condition) Jerry Naylor "City Lights" Tower (Possibly one of theb best blue eyed soul 45's in great shape) Frankie Karl & Chevrons "You Should O Held On" Philtown (Red first label issue. Looks rough vinyl-wise but plays pretty much excellent. Writing on label says 'To Vivien Love Frankie Karl') Alfie Davison "Love Is A Serious Business" Mercury 12" (The hardest format and so rare. Nice condition) Curtis "How Can I Tell Her" Charm City 12" (Classic late Wigan / Clifton Hall / Stafford spin as nice as they come) Sandy Havens "Happy" Great Atlantic 12" (Never heard out nowadays. Superb tune in great condition) King Tutt "You Got Me Hung Up" Fun City 12" (Hard one to track down on this format) ON HOLD King Tutt "You Got Me Hung Up" Fun City 7" (Not quite as hard as the 12 but getting rarer by the day) Lew Kirton "Heaven In The Afternoon" Alston 12" (Superb extended mix of this modern monster) Obviously looking for serious offers on these. Feel free to PM for more info. Thanks for looking. Steve

Hi Andy, Don't think I have it any more. Is there anything else you need. Time to sell up for me. Best Steve

Can you remember what happened to my copy either of you two??? Did I sell it / lend it when I was down that way. I'm sure I didn't do anything with it and someone was asking about it a few weeks ago and I remember having one. Hope you're both well. Steve H

Its definitely an electric guitar with a less harsh version of the sound found on many Detroit records. In conversation with Ronnie McNeir a few years ago, he called the sound "the chinks"... and thats exactly what that Detroit sound is all about, be it mild (you can hear alll the strings albeit very quickly in succession) or in the harshest form where all the strings are struck with such force that they seem as just one complete sound. Good ole Ronnie, he's the only one to ever have made sense of the sound of Detroit!!!!

matthews not lawson but got to agree with the chalkster..flirtations

sounds like shirley lawson darkest days mirwood at its best, awful recording from my speakers
