The flip on the Sandy Golden "When we,re all alone" is sublime aswell Geoff, same backing as another mid-tempo gem The Sweets "Something about my baby" on Soultown, while we are at it, Bernard Drake is an incredible record, essential, just like the aforementioned, same vein as Sandy Golden also essential, Mikki Farrow on Karate "Could it be" Kev

Great price on The Classmen, fantastic mid-tempo group shuffler Kev

What a fooking record Steve Kev

Horse and Groom, Donny, Just Soul at Barnby Moor, Filthy Soul London, its still there thank god, also, lot of CD swaps nowadays are mid tempo and ballad themed, the great thing is its a bottomless pit if like me thats your thing, people too obsessed with discovering the next barnstormer whilst overlooking tons of the real stuff IMHO Kev

Agreed Dave, awful record IMHO, to even talk about it ( Nobody has) in the same sentence as Lucky Fellow is an insult to the boys on Mode. Willie Wade is a different matter though, 2 great sides Kev,

Lets be having it then Steve Kev

Shirley Wahls and Barbera Acklin, incredible soul records, sums up what this venue is all about Kev

Great stuff Steve, really enjoyed it Kev

Some fantastic stuff on there Rich at fantastic prices Kev

I think there still may be a vinyl shop in Charlestown, Virginia, long time since we were there but we got stuff, can,t remember name or add, we had addresses for DC, but at the time we didn,t think it would be safe for 2 white dudes in a place that at the time was about 70% ghetto, DC had a bad rep at that time Kev

Myself and my mate Gaz Simon who played it to me more than 10 years ago certainly cared about it Bob, loved it then and love it now Kev

My mistake Bob, The Grooms is "I deserve a little more" on Shiptown, indeed, Ralfi Pagan on Fania is the version I have heard that you rightly mention, BTW, If you don,t know The Grooms, give it a whirl, its a masterpiece IMHO Kev

Not long, he fell off his stool in June, you,d have loved it, how ironic, a boxer falling off his stool Kev

Trevor Berbick comeback on the cards Kev

Great stuff again Bob, Burning Flame, Priscilla Price and Impala.s deserve special mention, speaking of "I can,t see myself without you" another take on that one by Ralfi Pagan is an incredible soul record IMHO Kev

No worries Smiler, two months quota will have to be quaffed in October Kev

Fantastic record Pete, regular plays in this house Kev

Incredible !! So p----d off us lads couldn,t make it, diversity in all things soulful again, we already have train tickets for October 20th in the bag, these lads have got it exact to a T, fantastic stuff Kev

To be honest Swifty, I did ok off his lists Cliff Nobles-My Love-J-V £2 Brothers of Soul-Come on back-Boo £2, there was more, just can,t remember Kev

Talking of Richard Domar, a trip in the early nineties that I wasn,t on, my mate Gaz Simon, Pete and Mick were somewhere in Philly, Gaz had designated everyone an area to cover with a fine tooth pick so to speak, "no stone unturned" we used to say, Richard Domar walked in and started looking himself, obviously, conversation started, niceties etc, all he was talking about was getting out of there and going to see the latest Ninja Turtles film that was showing to the extent of being unbearable, apparently he was quite condescending and had no crack, anyway, after a couple of hours Domar pulled a record out and started chuckling to himself, "oh look, Metros-Since I found my baby on an issue" he gloated, "foynd of the daay" he kept repeating as he went to pay for his finds, steam coming out of Gaz,s ears by now, even after paying and on his way out "foynd of the daay" he gloated. As soon as the door shut Gaz went ballistic with the other 2 "how the f--k did you 2 useless b------s miss that" he ranted as a full blown out shouting inquest was held. Sounds like an annoying fella, and Richard Domar Kev

Thanks Robb I saw a film a few years ago with Danny Glover in, can,t remember what it was called, but he saved a white guys ass who had broken down, I am quite sure it was Rampart where it happened, looked quite dodgey to me Kev

Played it tonight, brilliant !! out of the tracks I didn,t know, Kicking Mustangs was the standout of a brilliant bunch Kev

Four Tempos-Got to have you is a very good record IMHO, my guess is the label came out of Los Angeles, think there is a district in LA called Rampart Kev

Brilliant ! Kev
