Just happened to catch the closing credits of Revista de la Liga on sky sports to see some Real Madrid footage accompanied by the Group featuring Cecil Washington - I don't like to lose Only another 45 minutes will tell if Real do or don't.... More importantly whose behind sneaking massive northern tunes into these TV shows?

I prefer the 4 Voices, now I don't have Chuck Holiday.........!

Thanks for looking everyone, but the buy it now price was met by a bidder. Chuck Holiday - Just can’t trust nobody / I still love you - Gloria 113/112 M- 2 stunning tracks on this rare Detroit 45. Light ring wear on “I still love you” label (see scan), other than that I doubt you'll see another copy for a couple of years, let alone one in better condition, like new for a 45 year old record. Red scans come accross blurred, please click on images to view more clearly.

Great snap, they are certainly pleased to be signing her.

Looking for a 8x10 artist photo of Mary Love at Modern, can anyone upload one? Happy to discuss by e-mail. Cheers, Lee

Cracking group, or should I say coven, great voices, poor stage outfits....

Here's a scan of the original

Bizzare, the 45 I was trying to get the sleeve for, turned up snug as a bug in its complany sleeve, WOW!

Henning, saw this on ebay this morning, great track: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CREATIONS-Just-Remember-Me-rare-soul-vinyl-45-/310602073520?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123 Regards, Lee

LIke you Benji I paid about 50 US for an mint issue over 15 years ago, then moved a load of 45's on to anglo american before being posted overseas, Freddie Houston included. Tim Brown told me recently that apart from the copy that I sold him he had only ever seen one other in all the years of dealing. Phil, I asked the same question you did of the seller........................................imagine the bun fight if it had been an issue! Lee

Looking for a sleeve for the USA record label, shadows, ernie hines, Amanda Humphrey, Carole Waller etc M- / Ex no writing or tears please, ta, Lee

Got the CD today, listened to it 3 times already, all stand out tracks, but as ever the liner notes are superb and a god send as the missus watches 4 episodes of Corry on playback, great stuff Ady.

Jeff Ingersoll if I am not mistaken, bought from him via goldmine, paper lists and ebay, shed loads of nice lower end 45's, which has always made me wonder, with that much quantity why does he never seem to have biggies up for sale! Lee
