Only picked up on that sad news. Got to know Andy when he played at a Dumfries Weekender. Really nice guy. RIP Andy.

I am looking for Whispers Gettin' lounder No.1; Soul Symbol issues 1, 2, 9; Soul Up North - sample issue, 9, 11, 12; Voices - Christmas issue; SKM issue 2 also various issues of A Touch of Classic Soul. Some odds and ends available in exchange.

Thanks for the reply. Appreciated. As far as I know it is in good condition, although no original sleeve, so the £130 mark could be a realistic figure. Thanks for the reply. I suppose it is like everything else, depends on how much someone wants it.

Not being overly familiar with vinyl and it’s worth, is there any value in a dj copy of Fred Johnson - Don’t Leave Me on Shi-lush Records?

Thanks for the reply. There must be something somewhere, it is just finding it.

Ok, I know that they were something of a country and western group, but does anyone have any info on The Hillsiders who had a release on the Motown subsidiary label Mel-o-dy? Thanks for your time and any help you can offer.

Hi Neal. if you contact Dave on his Jellybone Records Facebook page, he should be able to help you out. i went into his shop this morning and found a really good sleeve. Cheers, IAIN

Hi. Does anyone have a spare copy of Dave Godin's Hitsville USA publication Nos.3 and 11?

It is a bit like London buses now. Go for ages without seeing a copy, then three suddenly appear. Great to finally have seen it, if not actually holding a copy, but it turned up and that's the main thing, as I can use the scans I have for what I want. Cheers.

Many thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. Unfortunately, like you, Tim is uncertain to where his copy is! If you should find it, please get back in touch. Thanks again and I least I know there is a copy out there.

Fingers crossed that someone has a copy Chalky.

Hi. Does anyone out there have a copy of the small booklet that was produced in the 1980’s (I think) on the soul scene in the Todmorden area? Not necessary wanting to buy, as I would be more than happy with a scan/photo of the pages. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Can anyone help with the three back issues of Soul up North I require - numbers 9 - 11 - 12.

Sent you a DM Darryn.

Does anyone have copies of the following Blues and Soul magazines for sale - Nos. 2,3,4,5,7,9,11 and 23. Thanks.

Hi Keith. Many thanks for your message. Unfortunately I have every issue of Manifesto. Best Regards, IAIN

If anyone has any unwanted early copies of Blues and Soul, any fanzines, memorabilia or Motown signed items that they are prepared to sell, I am always interested in such things. Cheers.

Thanks so much for your 'review' of the book. It was certainly a task putting it all together. More so in attempting to do a 'Top Five' or whatever, as I think I mentioned, every editor deserves praise for what he produced. It was difficult to pick between 'Basement' and 'There's That Beat' for many different reasons. The former is a stand alone publication, but it was the latter that hypnotised me with its lay-out and images. Thanks again for buying the book and I am glad you enjoyed it. Regards, IAIN

Does anyone have any information regarding the fanzine/magazine 'Motortown Review' which came out c.1970? There were at least four issues. Any information would be appreciated. Stay safe.

Excellent service. Look forward to more purchases.

I was wondering if anyone out there could help me with details of the 'Ladies of Soul' fanzine that appeared a number of years ago? It was edited by Chris Williams and I have only one un-dated copy here, but would like to know more about it, such as - when did it first appear, how many issues were there etc etc. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks for your time. Stay safe.

The book has just dropped through the letter box and looks excellent. Looking forward to reading it now.
