Over the last week or so I've had 3 emails purporting to be from Ebay members all saying roughly the same thing: "Let me know your best price on this item - I'm online now and can pay you straight away". Well thats strange 'cos I aint got nothing for sale on Ebay at the moment. So when you press the "respond now" button it asks you to log into Ebay - and once again I don't need to remind you all thats what they're after - your log in details. It's a virtual copy of an ebay page with the laughable line " Ebay sent this message on behalf of an ebay member sent through 'my messages' ". Of course if you open up Ebay through its home page there's no sight of the above message anywhere. I suppose if you're selling loads of items or you're in a mad rush or careless why would you immediately open their link without firstly checking the item number they give to see if it cross checks with anything you're selling? It's the old time honoured lure of a sale quick quick I can pay you now. I'm sure some people must get bored of being constantly warned of bogus ebay happenings bit like government campaigns to always wash your hands after you've been to the toilet and don't forget to fasten your seat belt. Oh well. derek

Mmm now I know this might seem a bit off but here's some 45s out of my collection that to be honest I don't want to sell. And here's the "off" bit - I've written this list at work so havent had time or chance to research the prices I want for them. Aint gonna sell any of them cheap so they'll all be about book price or whatever I'm happy with. Thought I'd post them up and if anybodies really interested they can contact me off list (D.Pearson@bradford.ac.uk). Just bought a few quite expensive 45s and need to raise some money to lift up my bank account. Its doubtfull I'll be dragging these 45s around venues either.

I DJ'd at the Prestwich Anniversary a week last Friday and for anybody thats been there they'll know thats an exceedingly large dance floor to move. The 3 records that gave me the most pleasure to play were three I personally havent heard played out for a long long time. Fair enough I don't stop out right to the end of all-nighters these days and I'm not bombing up and down the country like I used to. Maybe it was played and I was trapped in the toilet by some stranger who wanted to be my best friend. Or I might have been that pissed I'd forgotten the name of my mother. None of them are hideously rare or expensive but thats the fun of DJing isnt it - trying to blend in records into your set that people have forgotten about? Maybe I was cheating and being lazy because none of them are unknowns, all three have had some/alot of plays over the years so I'm an easy target to shoot at. Spinners "She's gonna love me at sundown" (VIP); J.J.Barnes "Sweet sherry" (UK. Stax) LP; The Monitors "Share a little love" (Soul) LP. All 3 held the floor and cheered me up no end. Time to walk the dog, derek Was telling Robbo about my 3 choices and he said he always plays the Monitors track - its all good fun innit.

sounds very much like Mike Warburton to me - used to see him down the 100 Club all the time during the mid 90s. derek

Aha its all become clear now. I'm trying to put together a discography of our Patience's work and the Real Soul 45 was on a discog that an American collector had sent me. He'd marked it as a 70s release and because I like her voice/style I was intrigued to hear and find out more about this "interesting" record. Only to find out it was really Edie in disguise, damn imagine how pissed off I'd have been if I'd have bought a copy hehehe. Did you know: She recorded "If you don't come" on Sar in 1961 and was in a group called The Flares in 1962. "Our love" is an awesome slowie Mark. "Waking up to a dream" on Thrush is a nice 45 to have stashed away in the boxes. onwards, derek

might make you an offer steve once Ive heard an mp3 of it. cheers, derek

Anybody know what Patience Valentine "You cant tell the good guys / Young Tears" on Real Soul is like? Think its an early 70s jobbie. Scans and/or mp3s appreciated. Cheers, derek

Have noticed a few of these 45s for auction on Ebay recently and wondered whats the score on it? Never heard of the record and was just curious. Are they rare issues - and most importantly is it any good? Can anybody post up an mp3? All the sellers quote it as having a rather large price tag in Manships, was this one of his deliberate mistakes included in his guide? derek Neal Kimble "If it wasn't for the children/ Don't start lying to me" on TRC 1021. Rare issue in mint minus condition in original TRC sleeve. Very high value in Manship.

Seem to think he lived in Bradford after the Bierkeller club he ran closed down. We're probably talking at least 10-15 years ago occassionally used to see him in town and say hello. derek

Anybody want an Ex condition copy of TSU Toronados "Please heart don't break" on Rampart Street? £125 + postage. Off list replies please (PM or email D.Pearson@bradford.ac.uk). Would prefer chq for UK buyers, otherwise Paypal. cheers, derek

Have got a Marion Love "Can't forget about you" on Capitol for sale/trade in Ex condition at £50 if anybody wants it. Off list replies please. cheers, derek

Simon - was chatting to Nigel Parker at Middleton recently as he'd come over with Carl Fortnum. I go back a long way with Nigel and over the years must've traded hundreds of records between us. onwards, derek

Aint we humans so bizarre - because Soul Sam is so liked and respected he can get away with putting Michael Proctor on after Margaret Little or whatever. Was his choice brave or ridiculous you decide. I find it fascinating what some can do and others can't. You can imagine the reaction from people on forums if an unpopular DJ had tried this. This aint a pop at Sam (before some get so sensitive) as I respect the man and speak to him regularly at venues. derek

because I care about world poverty; because I care about global climate change; because I care about you; I've dropped the prices on George Perkins to £30 and Jimmy Richards to £20; because I need the money. onwards, derek

As is usual when I finally manage to get a new issue out I sell roughly three quarters of the print run within the first month of release. So if you still want a copy do it sooner than later as the postman calls daily with cheques. Onwards, derek

yeah it was Arnold Blair - but the clever part (I thought) was that Arnold Road was on the left and Blair Road was on the right - it was the combination of the two that made the humour. Names like Brunswick St and Philadelphia Terr are interesting but too obvious. Garland Green in South Belfast does raise a smile though. But can anybody beat Arnold Blair? derek

I hadn't been going out with Miranda long when I said to her "Why don't we go shopping I've got some spare cash tucked away, I'll drive". She was still thinking about what to get at the Trafford Centre as we pulled up outside Les Hare's legendary King Bee record shop. When she'd stopped crying she saw the funny side of it. On the way back whilst driving down the A6010 she said "I've been waiting years to show this to someone who'd get it". She pointed it out as we got close and I laughed out loud. As if I needed any confirmation at all I knew then exactly why I live with her. Can you find it? derek If nobody gets it within the next few hours (as the clarity isnt spot on) I'll send in another jpeg of it that makes it a bit easier to find. can anybody find a better one?

Went out last night to the Wilton allnighter and had another good night. Tonight I listened to myself on the radio via the computer - is that the height of vanity? Nah I just like listening to a load of records that I've got he he.
