After a loose conversation with a mate recently about this subject my mind started involuntary list making again - what are the top ten most expensive UK releases from the 1970's & '80's? Excluding Frank Wilson, the 100 Club Anniversary singles and stuff on Grapevine.... Before I go to bed and without giving it alot of thought here's what immediately came to my mind: Jones Brothers (UK Pye) Basic Black & Pearl Jimmy James (UK Pye) "Hey Girl" Otis Clay (UK Red Atlantic) Willie Fisher (UK Jama) Gladys Knight (UK TMG) I know there's tons I can't think of at the moment - go on help a tired mind out. derek x

Derek Pearson and guests saying it for soul all eras all styles Shades Of Soul 21.00-22.00pm. Bradford Community Based Radio BCB 106.6FM On tonight's show I went for my world record attempt of the most number of DJ's in the studio at one time - after some quick footwork I just about scrapped together enough headphones and chairs for our trio of esteemed guests - Colin & Shirley Wood (back for their second installment) and for his first time at BCB Howard Earnshaw long standing editor of Soul Up North fanzine. In-between chatting and laughing we just about managed to squeeze in a few records. We continue saying it for soul and carry on regardless by playing a weird and wonderful selection of them old soul 45s. If you would like to hear the show live there's 2 ways to go about it - if you live within say 10 miles of the BD1 based studio tune your radio to the 106.6 frequency on your FM dial and you should be able to get it. Failing that go through the wonders of the world wide web on www.bcbradio.co.uk and hear it streamed live out of your PC. I thank you, Derek Playlists to follow asap

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JQ4qzm_4Dg Used to have this record and thought I'd sold it years ago, but on double checking my vinyl database I was surprised to find it still listed. So went upstairs and ploughed through some boxes and lo and behold there it was. derek Sent you a PM

Well spotted Ged - using Canada Dry in the topic title wasn't as snappy as using Schweppes hahaha. For those that aren't aware record collectors used to use these old wooden crates to store and/or carry records around in. Various drinks company's used these wooden crates to distribute their product around to a variety of pubs and clubs. Their measurements were ideal - 7.5inch wide, 6inch deep & 16inch long meant the box could hold up to 150 singles. Even though they were light they were very robust and certainly built to last to withstand the rigours of pub life. Dove tailed joints both ends with metal wire strengtheners, cut outs at each end and down the sides for ease of lifting. At the time I guess everybodies dad, grandad and/or uncle had the odd box or two in the cellar, loft, shed or where ever. Guess the majority of them ended up on the fire as I rarely seem them about nowadays on my travels. What I can't recall was - was there an insert or summat in the box to stop the bottles rattling against each other? And finally, over the years Rob Smith could be regularly spotted humping hundreds of records around in these crates. derek

It certainly is Flanny - of the 2 sides on show "Women Come Home" wins it for me. derek

When I wore a lad ya could leave ya front door open for years and nobody would ever pinch owt. We were so poor but honest mi Dad used to make his own Hovis bread. I used to get a bruised orange for mi birthday. People didn't take drugs then - all they needed was them Wether's originals to keep going. We didn't have owt fancy to keep our records in then. When I first left home a lived in mi Schweppes box for a while..... derek x

Nail on the head Bob. Recent statistics show that 83% of men will openly admit to having had affairs, 91% of the same men will openly admit to having taken illegal substances and likewise 86% of the same group of men will openly admit to engaging in regular criminal activity. However only 3% of the same group of men will openly admit to having looked at porn online. Derek PhB, MFI

In the sprit of re-using and recycling this is a request going out to anybody that knows me and sees me out an' about quite regularly. Does anybody have any old 7" and 12" Record Mailers and assorted cardboard stiffeners lurking about in cupboards or gathering dust in the cellar that they want rid off? Well I'll take them off your hands gladly. Likewise does anybody on here in the course of their work or home life regularly receive those loose void fill polystyrene packing chips or summat similar? Well I'll gladly take them all off your hands as well. I thank you, derek* * awarded West Bradford's Third Best Recycler Of The Year Award 2010 & 2011

without being picky it depends on what you define as "hard to find". Have you any examples of things you're after or is it just a general bit of advice? Very true Gareth - but there's a massive difference between those that have got the record and those that want to sell it (laughs). You took the words right out of my mouth Bob. The 3 best sites to find records I can think of are 1. Soul Source - gotta be the best starting point, keep regularly checking (daily if possible) the sales section. You could put a wants list up but you run the danger of alerting other collectors to desirable records that they may or may not know which increases competition to find the very record you're after. 2. Ebay - whatever record you're after has probably been through Ebay before or will do in the future. Again check daily if possible or set up an email alert for a specific want. 3. Google - just bang all the details into this search engine, press enter and see what pops out. Hope this helps, derek

Blimey never heard of a Buddy Lamp 45 on Big Hit before? I know there's no sound clip with this link Ady (sorry) but I've posted it up anyway just for general interest. Seller could have included a better label scan. derek https://collectorsfrenzy.com/Details.aspx?id=280503127257

blimey I can't remember the last time I saw a bootleg of The Ellusions - from the scan it looks like it was pressed on styrene with a stuck on label. derek
