Mickey Toliver goes for around $400/450, not a bad R&B,Doo-wop mover. Seen quite a few over the past year for sale

Isn't this a decent Northern R&B moover? OOOOH UPDATE! Having pulled my copy from the laptop archives I can confim its a belting Northern R&B moover and NOT a ballad (at least to these sticky out ears at least) and I did try and post it here for you all to hear but the bloody thing will not upload. So, take my word for it, its a moover. Possibly a cover-up as my files only have it listed under title and name, no label but its been on there for a few years so the memory is fading!

Nick and Dawn, you know that I don't have to say this, but I will, and that is there is NO WAY this person is correct in their assumption that you nick records. I have nothing but respect for you both and I would certainly trust you 100% with my record box! The others are correct mate, some one fucks with your family then you go straight to the police, no messing around. Hopefully this moron will be caught and this matter put to an end. Hang in there, I am sure that by now you know you have the support of the majority that know you.

No Steve you are remembering correct as Keb and I have had words on this very subject many years ago! If memory serves right didn't he put this story into print as well? In short NJ was spouting off in a record shop about this great new record he'd discovered and how rare it was etc and Keb, listening, runs of and returns with a box full of said record, Mark III Trio 'G'Wan' (I think) plonks on counter and says he can have them all. Cue NJ's chin hitting floor. I have the article somewhere in the files so will try and source to confirm 100%. That said I can remember Taff and I also having this conversation about the Rare Groove scene, namely that so many of the sounds had been played on our scene (at that time) previousy therefore not a new scene really. Ah memories.

Just scanned through the latest posts whilst screaming at the kids on half term and noting the Beeb haven't posted my comments on their forum! With regards to 'why should we bother with these dickheads' tone of some of the points above well if we dont challenge this type of blatant agenda based lie then in the future people are going to take reference to it as being the truth and history yet again gets rewritten. I know this programme wont put off the true Soul fan from attending venues etc but it is going tobe sorced as a reference in the future and thats why we should all at leat try and get Aunty to sort her act out or at the very least post our opinions so that a balance can be struck. As for my black friends that saw the programme they aren't too happy either about the comments that Jazzie B made or the coverage of the 80s soul scene, so it isn't just us!!!!

Hi Steve, yep they can make a good prog when they want and the first episode was excellent which is why I was so dismayed at this pile of shite. Forgot to mention in the above that even the Skinheads were allowed to be portrayed as non-racist (which b4 anyone starts ranting about it I know is fair comment!!!) but this is why I was even more livid that we were singled out!!!! Why didn't they interview Searling, Ady, Keb even you Steve!???? At least we'd have had a fair balanced and correct portrayal. It will be interesting to note if any of our comments appear on the BBC 4 site, have a feeling mine won't despite being toned down to an 'angry soul man from Surbiton' style

My, how this has got us all up in arms! I've sent my toned down rant to the BBC S.B website (and urge everyone to do the same) but wanted to air my abridged views here. Ivor is spot on, all my black friends were into Reggae more than the Northern Soul we loved, simple as that.For Jazzie B to state the scene was white working class and racist makes my blood boil and to be honest f**ks me off that we can be tarnished in this way on a national TV programme and with no apparent counter view being aired to redress the balance. The relevant points has been well aired on this very thread so I wont go into my usual 'Victor Meldrew of Soul' rant right now. What I think we should be concentrating on is that the producers of this travisty allowed this point to go out unchecked and used, as someone stated earlier, selective editing of the Casino clips we all know pretty much off by heart now to illustrate and underline their assertion that we are, in short, a white racist scene. I don't know about you but this makes me veryvery angry that once again we have been screwed and, to their credit, the BBC have made the worst BAR NONE programme about our scene ever! Jesus even David Bowie was given more credit and airtime on the very same programme. Apathy is a terrible thing boys and girls so don't sit there and moan int your mug of tea, get up and write to the S.B comments board, flood the Points Of View board and fight for the truth to be heard!!! If we allow this sh**te purporting to be representative of our scene to go unchallnged then we can only expect more of the same and, to be blunt, I don't want to have to be explaining to people in the future why I was part of a 'white working class racist scene' - do you?

No problem Toby, would have put more up BUT was having such a great time and a right laff with my 'boyfriend' Ian that didn't take as many as I'd thought!!! Have pased message on to Jane, have a feeling there will be more posts from the others along similar lines, and she says thanks and Happy Birthday. Hope that Vera kows your on here Jack, lol.

Justv to let you know I've uploadd the pics from the bash to my gallery - enjoy, post comments and have fun
