  1. Hi Mal, I went into a record shop in Toronto and what started as a worst experience turned out to be a great experience. The shop was full of all genres of albums, all very nice but all way overpriced. I asked if there were any singles/45s and the guy said in the basement. I went down there and I found boxes and boxes of unplayed records. After about 2 hours of The Partridge Family, Perry Como, The Osmonds and other great delights I came to the last box. In the last few records were Bill Harris, Kurt Harris, Mighty Pope and a Barbara Mcnair. I went upstairs and asked the price. He said "I will just go on the computer and check the values as I know nothing about 45s". My heart sank as he went into the office. Out he came and said the computer has crashed and you will have to come back later. I said that I couldn't as I was due to meet my wife who had gone shopping in the mall. He pulled a awkward face and said "How about $30 for the four" I could have hugged him. I paid the $30 canadian and made a sharp exit. Regards Kev
  2. Dave, Was the guy on the small side and probably in his 40s or 50s then. I went into a shop in Pittsburgh and the guy said are you a Brit and I said no I'm Welsh. He said that's ok then as I didn't think he knew where Wales was. He said take no notice of the prices on the covers as I will do you a great deal. I picked out about 15 singles and went to the counter. He had a pencil behind his ear and put in his hand and started re-marking the prices on the sleeves as double. I asked what he was doing and said the prices were old and needed to be updated. I said forget it and started to walk out of the shop. He started following me and said your are a Brit just trying to rip people off, so F off out of my shop. Gutted really as there were some nice records, but hey the principle of it all. Kev

  7. Great 70s from The Main Ingredient. On US RCA in birth sleeve. The record is EX+ but has a very small mark in the fade out where the music fades out and there are about 5 very small clicks. Not sure if it is some slight glue residue but I have left it as is. Apart from that, the record plays great all the way through. £35 plus £2. 50 postage signed for.
  8. I have the greatest respect for Bruce Springsteen. A great singer, songwriter artist and performer, but sorry his latest release is ! ! ! oh dear. I heard it on Steve Wright yesterday afternoon and thought what next. Maybe Liz Truss and Keir Starmer doing a cover version of TWO CAN HAVE A PARTY (Well it's not really a Party) or even Boris Johnson covering Cloud Nine. Motown is always good to make a few bob for some people. Only my humble opinion. Kev
  9. So sad to hear of the passing of Lamont Dozier a real Giant in the world of Motown and Soul Music. He wrote so many wonderful songs, from the days with Eddie and Brian Holland at Motown to going solo in the 70s. His style was something special, he was a real talent with that smooth tone when he sang. R.I.P. Lamont
  10. Thanks for all your hard work Mike. You have worked tirelessly to give everyone a 5 Star site which encompasses everything related to SOUL. Enjoyed and appreciated by many, many people.
