Love that version Len, new to me, still, The Esquires is to me the better version, but thanks for posting, fantastic record

See a Dramatics thread coming on, no complaints here Kev

Jock was replying to comments that Benji had made, why get all defensive ? Kev

Love this, "Treat me like a man" Kev

One on ABC Bob, not one of their better known one's "Treat me like a man" like this very much Kev

Me to Chris Kev

Jock mentions the volume of records on Chess/Cadet (that are quality) for under a tenner, all of the Dells stuff for a start (except maybe Thinkin about ya demand rather than rarity) and all of the Billy Stewart. Kev

Give that man a ceeegar, right on the button Kev

Brilliant indeed, do yourself a favour though, turn it over "Thankful For Your Love" is as good as anything they did IMHO Kev

Most of the collectors I know Chalky collect Group, Sweet and Deep soul, "Northern" if we are talking globally contributes a small percentage as far as collecting soul records is concerned Kev

Burke family, seriously under rated tune aswell Dave Kev

Starting to think that some people adopt the same attitude when buying records as some people have when listening to DJ,s, a guy can have a record for sale for a reasonable price but will be ignored by certain PUNTERS, then JM sticks it up for auction and the same PUNTER can't get his cheque book out quick enough, like the PUNTER who will only acknowledge a record a "NAME" DJ plays when he has totally ignored the same record when "Joe Average" played it. Think I am going bonkers, or am I Kev

Yes, a man of great taste and vision Rob Kev

Great topic John, really hard to pin it down to exact reasons, its subjective really and there will be many opinions on this, for what its worth I reckon its only the so called big stuff that holds its value these days. Some records will have a "demand" shelf life and fetch inflated prices, once the shelf life is up the price plummets, you know the scenario, "so and so is playing it" so for a while up goes the price, pathetic really, but, thats the game we are in. It saddens me to see genuine fantastic soul records going for 99p, and then you see some average at best stuff going for big money because of the exposure certain DJ's bestow on them (not their fault by the way) great news though for the soul collector who can pick great stuff up for the price of a pint. Even rarer collectors records or records on the periphery (limited exposure) are not holding their value, got my opinion, there isn,t enough demand for the cheaper (all be it some great) records, the volume of genuine collectors isn't there any more and the cash is going towards the higher end "trophy" stuff, not enough "thinking mans record" collectors anymore. I'll get my coat Kev

Gone are the days when people hung on to everything the "DJ" PLAYED AND SAYED, people know a lot more about the music and what they want to hear these days, there's some great collections out there that need to be heard, bored shitless with the "BIG TICKET" thing and the sheep that hang on to the "so and so is playing it" syndrome, know plenty of guys who get up there at certain venues and spin stuff from there impressive collections and never claim to be "DJ,s". This scenario is far more unpredictable and better IMHO Kev

You.ve just answered the question Peter on how he HAS used the site, all he has done is plant the seed knowing full well the site would go bisrack Kev

I heard a lot of interviews with regards to Wilson Picket and it seems he was affectionately called "Picket" on some recordings he refers to himself that way Kev

Great price Nev Kev

Man was a genius, and I tell you what, we have Smooth radio on when we are on nights and they regularly play Gladys Knight "Baby don't change your mind" I still get goosebumps every time its played, the marry up of one of, if not the greatest female artist with Van's incredible soulful strings and things, wow, does it every time for me Kev

2 fantastic shows Scott, not a weak track to be heard, I have had that Cuba Gooding album for years and missed that great track, thanks for that, and the 2 great shows Kev
