April 20, 200916 yr Laura Lee was £100 on Marc Forrest list. Not sold yet. OTT I'd say. Sold a minter of Skip for £200 the other day and I think Marc got £250. ROD Saw for £250 this weekend. Russ
April 20, 200916 yr Author Laura Lee was £100 on Marc Forrest list. Not sold yet. OTT I'd say. Sold a minter of Skip for £200 the other day and I think Marc got £250. ROD Thanks Rod, someone just offered me £200 for Skip so I said ok.
April 20, 200916 yr Author Shep - fool to fool about £50/60 Yeah I'd agree with that, books at £80, I'd ask £50 I think
April 20, 200916 yr Shep - fool to fool about £50/60 I diud hear a rumour that this was don gardner but have no evidence to prove that it is. love the other side "i'm sitting in" sold mine for 20 quid before all the demand raised the price and i'd say 50 quid now is fair.
April 23, 200916 yr Pete cheapest Ive sold a Velvet Hammer for was £20 around a year back. Priced fairly you should ask for £30 ish me thinks.
April 23, 200916 yr I diud hear a rumour that this was don gardner but have no evidence to prove that it is. Surely Shep is James Sheppard of Shep and the Limelites fame? Never thought he was anyone else and from what I remember the voices sound pretty much like same person.

April 24, 200916 yr Surely Shep is James Sheppard of Shep and the Limelites fame? Never thought he was anyone else and from what I remember the voices sound pretty much like same person. Definitely not James 'Shane' Sheppard and doesn't sound like him either, not even slightly. There's more chance of this Shep being John Noakes' dog than the former Heartbeat/Limelite...

Made a fiver profit on it, too! If the book price is fifty, I think the real one must be £30 or thereabouts...
April 24, 200916 yr look into my eyes , just into my eyes, £5 each to me ""look into my eyes"" ever been hypnotized?
April 24, 200916 yr Definitely not James 'Shane' Sheppard and doesn't sound like him either, not even slightly. There's more chance of this Shep being John Noakes' dog than the former Heartbeat/Limelite... Ok I consider my self chastised.
April 24, 200916 yr Definitely not James 'Shane' Sheppard and doesn't sound like him either, not even slightly. There's more chance of this Shep being John Noakes' dog than the former Heartbeat/Limelite... At Prestatyn when first asked Don had no recollection of the Shep disc. He later said it was him.
April 24, 200916 yr Shep - fool to fool about £50/60 I'm sitting in is one of my all time favourites. I'd buy it if I had any money
April 25, 200916 yr Ok I consider my self chastised. Self-chastisement! Oooooh, missus..... Sorry if I came off a bit schoolmasterly in my previous post. Actually I think that the late James Sheppard might already have been "the late James Sheppard" by the time that the Shep 45 came out. You may know that he was found dead in his car on the side of the Long Island Expressway towards the end of the 60s. I'm not saying he was the victim of a mob hit, but he had apparently been 'bothering' Morris Levy, infamous head of Roulette Records (who owned all the Shep and the Limelites and Heartbeats masters and publishing) about unpiad royalities... Sad to think that one of the greatest voices of the R & B/Doo-Wop era never got to grace Soul music. Apologies for going off-point here.

Sad to think that one of the greatest voices of the R & B/Doo-Wop era never got to grace Soul music. Apologies for going off-point here. Hey no sweat Tony. It's probably in the book about about Levy and Roulette that you told me to read. I did and enjoyed it but my recall is clearly rubbish. In my defence though, I did say "from what I remember". Given we've established I have a crap memory surely that let's me off the hook. Possibly. Finally, and going even further off topic, I thought I'd heard another Limelites record (or b side) with Sheppard singing without that kind of 'affected' accent that your hear in Doo Wop. Know what I mean? Like the difference between Gene Chander and Jackie Wilson's earlier / later records. Is there a term to describe it? Am I making myself clear even? if not it's back to the self chastisement till the postman comes. I really should rephrase that last sentence.

You might be thinking of "Everything's Gonna Be Alright", which is about their best (and possibly only) dancer and is a very good record, too. Don't know as there's a term for what you describe, but I do klnow excatly what you mean! I've already had my postman (not literally) - he brought me a copy of Jerry Williams' "Let's Do the Wobble (Before Chubby Gets It)" on V-Tone. Crap record, but who could resist a title like that? Way off point now, so I'm outa here...
April 25, 200916 yr I was told Shep was ACTUALLY DON GARDNER... GMAN So was I in post 7 of this thread, dozy
