Doing the next Cheap as Chips night on Friday 25th June and if the last one was anything to go by it'll be a stormer.

Anyway, I've got my Cheap as Chips playbox but I've just added two more delicious tunes to it today and would love to hear your favourite Cheapies. Any with soundclips would be greatly appreciated.

My top three at the moment are:

Alfreda Brockington - Your love has got me chained and bound - Phil-La (been around for ever and just got itself back in my playbox)

Afro Blues Quintet Plus one - La la la la la - Mira (my tip for the next year if you like your latin - got the makings of a monster)

Jeanette Williams - Stuff - Backbeat (every home should have this - would punch a hole through concrete)

Cheers and enjoy.

My favourite three cheapies of the moment

Millie Jackson - All I Want Is A Fighting Chance

Cornelius Brothers - Treat Her Like A Lady

Etta James - Lay Down Daddy

I love collecting records all the time, I dont just buy established expensive records so I can impress myself, I like to collect allsorts of bits n bobs cause I actually love Soul

music. Dick waving rare 45s about is great but sometimes I feel we forget about the actual music itself.

Three very cheap records that I have bought and really enjoyed this week are as follows:

Barbara Mason - Troubled child - Crusader - this cost me £7.00 (Its a sad but great ballad that I will play every now and then when I am having a chill at home)

Little Pattie - Pushing a good thing to far - Austrailian HMW - £10.00 (I already had her ep but this copy was in much better nick and its a lovley version IMO)

Ruby Johnson - Weakspot - Volt - £9.00 ( Ive had a few of these over the years - I always pick it up if its cheap cause its so nice, but I think I will hang on to this one now

as I hadn't seen one for ages and had forgotton how lovley it is.

I remember being in my teens in the 80s when I used to hear DJs like Pat Brady play cheap tunes - Jimmy Robbins "I can't please you" or The Uniques "not too long ago" or

Gene Chandler "There was a time" - I would pop to the record bar with my last bit of spare change and pick them up before I got my lift , then get them on the deck at home

for half an hour before I collapsed

I would need £2000 spare in my back pocket at the end of the night to do that at an allnighter in 2010 !

Just listen to the Debonaires and what a great record, it's a must have for me, how much does it go for??

The Debonaires was released twice on Goldern World nos 38 & 44, both as B sides, COD (cash on delivery) / Hows your new love treating you. GW44 & Big time fun / |Hows your new love treating you GW 38

Should be able to pick one up for around £20

Don Covey "It's Better To Have"

What a pointless post, we all bought records far cheaper years ago And as for constellations it was more like 20 years ago and it was more than £2 back then. The whole point of the topic is what can you buy cheap TODAY.

Bobby Hebb - Love Love Love

June Conquest - Almost Persuaded

J Blackfoot - Where Is love.

Pat Lewis - Let's get together/Can't shake it loose (Golden World) - two for the price of one!

Mine are:

Mary Wells - Use Your Head

The Mob - I'd Like To See More Of You

Barbara Hall - You Brought It On Yourself

Pat Lewis - Let's get together/Can't shake it loose (Golden World) - two for the price of one!
