Thanks Sean. Is it a fortune? How many pesos?

Bought from some muppet who thought it was OK to mail it in a record mailer but without any "stiffeners Still got it and it makes my blood boil every time I look at it.

Half a track, no track list; anyone got any ideas? thanks

How many labels called 'Mainstream' have there been? When did they run from and what were their significant releases?

You're right, fair point, well put, Ken!

What a fair price for the Tempests album? Any difference between 1. stereo issue 2. white demo mono thanks

Bell Bros - Give It Up

Toss up between 'I've Got What You Need' & 'Wind Me Up'

Ken Not the same as Samantha Jones - That special way?

4 sounds very British, blue-eyed. Bit of a scouse tint to the accent. Is she surrounded by a ray of sunshine?

Track 3 is Leon Ellis - I just wanna to say I love you - Elf

I posted it before I relinquished the name hippo to the real hippo (Jerry H). I'll try to find it and post it up again

The boots are vinyl, and if you look at the record run out, it is nearly half of the record long (about an inch across). The staggered west coast design are usually on styrene as they were pressed at the Monarch record plant.

. Another time me and Mick Atherton had a shotgun pulled on us when we went round to a guy's, Ron Guy if anyone remembers him, to get some money or 45s he owed us. Luckily Im still here and I still have those brown trousers!! ROD

Soul Music that's truly across the board from all eras. My last playlist included: 2. Patreece Johnson - You're Watching Over Me - Unreleased Jean Carne - Hello Stranger - Unreleased Thank You - Pre Release Just out of interest, I can understand the 'pre-release' as it's modern soul i.e. present day, up for a relesse in the next few weeks? However, what's with the northern soul stylee 'unreleased' cobblers?

Thought it was a studio acetate only. Is it the one that sounds like the 4 Tops turn to stone?

What is it that he's singing, I'm going bald baby?

Isley Bros – This old heart of mine Finest record ever made (Motown or otherwise) Velvelettes– Let Love Live Finest record never to have been made Ivy ‘Jo’ Hunter – Desperate Situation Finest record to never get further than the demo (tape) ((Thomasina Montgomery –“My love is alive way down in my heart although we are miles apart” Finest ‘goose pimple making’ 6 seconds of music ever recorded Patrick Gammon – Infatuation Finest L.P. only Motown track Mary Jane Girls – All Night Long Finest Motown 12”))

Yes, but it's one of Simon's all time favs (he gets very excited just looking at a scan of the label!). Anyone got a sound file?

Most of (by the mid 80's) is kake becasue of those bloody drum machines. However, I'd say David Sea Night After Night is one of the best tunes ever made. Also good are Larry Wu - Let Me Show You Color Blind - Crazy Tommi Johnson - Somethings Never Change Sheer Music - Fallen Back In Love Again
