Just Arrived In The Post (Or Just Bought)

Recommended Posts

How people make it difficult for you to even find a record:

I used to have this Jamaican blank copy of Dave Barker's version of "Out Of Love" and I always wondered if it came out on UK, but searched to no avail.

Then I found out it was actually issued here, but not as Dave Barker, but as Dave McLaren...and it wasn't called Out Of Love is was called Love Is What I Bring!

No wonder I couldn't find the bloomin thing.

Anyway I got one on Monday, £28, which considering I set the snipe at £88 I am quite happy with.

Sad thing is - it's nowhere near as good as I remember it  :lol:

Went to a scooter parts fair the other w/e - not expecting anyone to be selling records:-

 

Four Tops - I just Can't Get You Out of My Mind, Probe

Gene Chandler - Let Me Make Love to You, RCA

Solomon Burke - Stupidity, London

 

1st two are pretty much mint in company sleeves, Solomon Burke is pretty beaten up, but as it's a LOUD record it's fairly un-noticeable through the speakers when played

 

£4 total for the above three

Emanuel Lasky - Lucky to Be Loved - Wild Deuce

Bobby Sull - Have To Be My Love - Tema

Gary Criss - Welcome Home - Diamond

Martha & Vandellas - One Way Out - UK TMG 621

Timebox - Beggn' - UK Deram

Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up - UK Buddah

and a bunch more, Reflections, Contours, Four Tops, Flirtations, Elgins etc

 

Not a bad start to the year

Johnny Maestro and the Crests - Heartburn, £3.10 off Ebay with only two bidders. The vinyl was covered in grime but after a bit of a clean up it was a very nice VG+. It has only just gone into the box. Must have played it at least half a dozen times. Great "Oldie"

After going a bit overboard with the credit cards recently, I've had to reign in the spending a bit.  However, I did manage to pick up this long time want for less than £7 including delivery from Spain!  I've had a UK Tamla Motown release for years but always wanted a US original release.  The 'B' side to the more famous I'll Pick A Rose For My Rose 'A' Side, You Got The Love I Love by Marv Johnson on Gordy.

Hour and a half drive each way, half a tank of petrol, $5 for a bagel and coffee, $20 for early entry - records bought - 3

 

F**king 3, call themselves record dealers? They should be ashamed  :lol: This is one of the larger shows and it really was bad.

 

Jackie Mittoo - Hot Blood - album

Adrian Miller - Empty Promises - album

The Soulmates - Bring Your Love Back Home - UK Parlaphone demo - no centre

 

Anyhoo, rant over, off to watch Barcelona - Real Madrid to warm me up for match of the day, 1-2 United, Sir Steevvvie G sent off, funny how the day balances out!  :thumbsup:
