SOUL AND FUNK MUSIC FOR SALE!

A Different Kind of Post this Week, if any you have Read any of my Posts before, you will Know I Brought my First Soul Record Back in 1972!

The 7" Single was "I Get The Sweetest Feeling" by Jackie Wilson, it was Actually for my Dad who Wanted the Record, he gave 50p and told me to go to Woolworths on the Bus to Buy the Single!

That same Year I started Buying more Soul Music, Starting with Cassette Tapes, Mainly Motown, which Most of them I still have in my Loft, this lead on to Vinyl Around 1973/4, Starting with Albums, then 7 inch Singles and Eventually a few Years Later 12 inch Singles.

By the Time I Left School in 1975, I was Spending Most of my Money on Soul and Funk Music, Mostly all on Vinyl by Now, I Remember we had some Great Record Shops in Great Yarmouth, back then, Not like now, I think Apart from Supermarkets there is Only One Second Hand Shop that Sells Music in Town Now!

Norwich is Nearly as Bad, but there again I No Longer Buy Any Music Whatsoever, as for Vinyl, I Stopped Buying them about 1990 and as for  CD's, I First Brought a CD back in 1989, then Brought 100's of them, but now, I Don't think I have Brought a CD for about 18 Months now!

During the Very Early 1990's, I had about 3000 Items of Music, in all Formats, it was then I started to Sell some of my Vinyl Albums, this went on for a Couple of Years, it was Quite Hard to Sell back then Before E-Bay etc, but I Sold a Few, only to Regret this Later, then when CD's Started to become a bit More Cheaper, I Started Replacing the Vinyl Albums I had Sold!

I Eventually Ended up with about 750 CD's at Least, then about 3/4 Years ago I Brought a Couple of Digital Players, i.e a Creative Zen and a Phillips Streamium, and that has Changed my Music Collection Again, I now have Most of my Music on them in Digital Form!

So this has Brought me to the Reason for this Post, I have Sold Quite a few of my Vinyl Records over the Years, but Still have about 150 Vinyl Albums Left, about 200 12" and 7" Singles, I also have about 200 Albums on Tape, not to Mention many Blues and Soul Magazines and some Black Echoes Papers, added to these I am Now Going to Sell all my 750 CD's!

In fact I Started Listing my CD's on Ebay about 3/4 Months ago, to see how they would Sell, in Fact I've Sold Quite a Few, and Last Week I Decided to Advertise them on Discogs, as this is More of a Specialist Site for Selling Music, Rather than Ebay!

Obviously its Takes Time to Put All my Music on there, but its Seems to be Worth at the Moment, I have Sold as Much in 3 Days as I did in about 2 Months on Ebay!

I Hope Eventually to put Everything I have on Discogs, but this will Take Time, I have Soul, Funk, Jazz, Electro, Rap, Disco, Dance and R&B on All Formats, Dating Back from the Mid 60's Right up until about 3 Years Ago!

The Most up to Date Music I  have Purchased is All of John Legend's CD's, Can't say I go to Much on Today's R&B Music, but I have a Wide Choice of All the Great Soul Singer's and Funk Band's from the Past, so Please have a Look at what I have put on Discogs, and Come back in the Future, as More Music  will be Added in Time!

The 2 Units and a Transfer!

It was now Winter 1979, Nathan was crawling around eveywhere, how I remember this was, we had brought ourselves our First piece of Brand New Furniture from Woolworth's.

It was a Small Melamine Unit about 6 feet high by 3 Foot in width it was for holding such things as, Ornaments etc and it had a seperate cupboard space at the bottom, where if I remember correctly we used to keep Nathan's Nappies and Towels etc!

At that time we had our TV in the Front Room, so we had a Portable Radio in the Middle Room, and this was our our New Unit, and with Nathan crawling around, he always kept pulling the Radio Electric Cable, so I had to do something about this, as He would eventually pull the Radio off the unit on to his Head!

So what I did was nail some Tacks all around the bottom of the Radio, to keep it in place when pulled by Nathan, that was probably my first DIY Job, these Days I would have done something more Permanent and Secure!

But that is something we always remember, from back then!

We also had another Wooden Unit in our Front Room, this was brought by Susan's Father (when he got us the three piece suite and carpet) from a Second Hand place, we had this for several years, I found a picture off the Net, which looks just like the one we had!

I always remembered the Drawer on the unit, it was lined with Green Felt Material!

By now I had been at the Butchers for about 5/6 months and wasn't really liking the Job, not so much the work, as that was Easy, but it was the Staff and how it was Run, as I said in Previous Post the Manager and the Assistant Manager were Related, so it was a case of, if your Face Fits!

So I was looking out for a Transfer from that Branch, as Dewhurst's had several Branches in our Area, there was a chance of a move!
