Sorry if the names spelt wrong, but in about 1981/2 at the KGB all nighters in Sheffield, I had the pleasure of looking through his record boxes, all those UK demos etc, and I remember he tragically died sometime after, but does anyone know what happened to that collection. It must be worth 500,000 at todays rates.

I believe at least some ended up with The Reverand Tony Clayton of Leicester allnighters fame.

Just found a thread on RSF. Seems I was right. Although there was some controversy as to how he aquired them.

It was all auctioned off, I remember seeing this catalogue.

Well there shouldn't have been, both he and I were independently acquainted with Nev's parents. Tony sold the soul stuff (and bought quite a few himself) and I sold off his excellent Phil Spector/girly group collection, on behalf of the parents who got all the money. Ironically Pete Wid & I sold Nev a hell of a lot of his English demos from a brilliant collection we got off a Radio 2 producer/DJ.

Thanks for clearing that up, its always been a talking point with my KGB mates due to the amount of quality records Nev played and displayed. RIP now.

I GOT MEL BRITT-SAM WARD-PLUS SOME OTHER US/UK STUFF. SPENT ABOUT 100 QUID WITH THE VICAR AT A RECORD FAIR IN HANLEY.

Definitely auctioned off,I bought a couple of bits off the list.
