Are there any Soul sides on the Garland label out of Salem, Oregon? Ta, Lee

No help I know, but with her version of Easy Street on it I couldn't possible part with it, Soz!

3 Cody Blacks for sale on the same day, maybe it isn't so rare as I thought!!!

Gene, I am sure It was Richard Pack I was chatting to some years ago about his record buying forays and artist searches in Detroit, I always marvelled at his record finds and the stores & archives he had access to, a particularly interesting snippet was that he had been introduced to a local barber, one Buddy Smith who then went on to discuss his Brute recording. Not sure whether it was a meeting that was destined for Richard's superb "Soul Survivor" magazine, which prematurely folded. Regards, Lee

One of the best shop finds I ever had, picked up a mint copy for £40 in the mid 90's when I was in Antwerp from the Belgian who is forever selling his shop on ebay . Oddly I paid more for a copy of Robert Portee on Diamond....what a steal the JD was.............................

Russ, there's blue too! Lee

Andy, no idea whether its been played or if its a current spin anywhere. Seems to be an obscure track. I had someone ask for me for a copy a few weeks ago based on an old sales list from the time I had those 2! I am sure I have only seen 1 or possibly 2 on sale here since then. Not listed on either Manship's or Brown's sites, which tells us something about its scarcity. Regards, Lee

Andy I had 2 m- copies in quick succession a few years back, but I'd been looking for several years, sold them both very fast at £150, not often seen for sale and on enough wants lists to suggest demand will outstrip supply and thats when the price goes up. Lee

Hi Dave, couldn't remember who the other buyer was, but Bob has picked up many 45's from me over the years, so its highly likely. Trying to work out why I didn't keep one!!! Regards, Lee

I've had 2 m- copies in the last 10 years, I'm positive I sold the first to Paul Sadot, fairly cheaply in comparison to todays value. Not common at all, a theme with the best tunes! Lee

No wonder the posties card said too large for the letterbox! Collected this monster mailer this morning, completely dwarfs the 45 it carried. One of many less than inventive ways by which US sellers have shipped me 45's recently, I suppose this one was guaranteed to be safe and sound given the 14 crumpled newspapers padding it out, whereas the 2 pieces of chip board covered in bubble wrap that arrived the week before left me with a sense of dread for the wellbing of that treasured vinyl, thank C****T for that paper sleeve.

I have a tape that the late and missed Alan Pollard sent me some years back. I am 100% certain he'd told me he had just cracked a deal for a whole stack of Jobete 10" acetates, most of which he commited to the tape, some great tracks, particularly "Lonely lover" and I only mentioned it today to someone else that there was also a copy of "Abraham, Martin and John". I do remember at the time a lot of these Jobete acetates up for auction, cited as one-offs, maybe John Manship, but I'm not that clear on that bit, but most fetched £100 and more. I will have to dig the tape out to list the other tracks, which if they are all unissued or alternate takes may confirm that what I have on tape is an acetate recording of "Lonely lover". Lee
