I for one will miss Rods sense of humour on here, but salute his sterling work....and still look forward to buying the occasional mint + off him!

Rod set the bar high, very few can match, please take note whoever takes over role

Jeez, that's jumped, I traded mine 10 years ago for Lonnett Blue Jean!

Wow that went quick,

Aldo, why do you save the one Verve record I need to replace when the gods of coin have left my vista?

How much is your budget?

If some good come out of this...

It made my day!

couldnt believe when Mark told me last night, tragic news, really sad, first met Mick at Stafford and got chatting through a mutual friend, Chris Brennan who'd been in the RAF with Mick, and although a few years older and had a few more years on the scene, was enthusiastic and welcoming to us Southerners, think he bought "Baby Boy" Juanita Williams off me for a couple of quid, this was a time when no one wanted "common" records on Golden World and the like, and mostly they sat unloved at the back of most record boxes, next time I saw him, he gave me a couple of records as a thanks, as he'd managed to buy about 20 records for a quid and under he wouldn't have bothered looking at and couldn't thank me enough. He really was one of the good guys, I'll really miss not seeing him turn up with that big grin. Condolences go out to his family who, hopefully can get some comfort from the sentiments expressed from all his soul family on here and on Facebook. Rest in Peace my friend, you've left us far too soon x

Selling or buying?

Good luck mate, think you'll struggle to trade this for records of that calibre

Along with Joy Lovejoy, Vala Regan, perhaps we'll never ever know?

John was definately first with these, I got them from him at the time.

Guy H had a studio disc, that mightve been a different mix, I'll ask him before he goes abroad

Ady Croasdell have you anything to add?

There's a EMI publicity photo of him in The Age Of Innocence book,

Awful record!, Around 1984 or '85 I bought it off JM on his recommendation, in 30+ years of dealing with him only the second time I've sent a record back.

Should be pink, never seen a grey one, and the anniversary 45's dont have a second release, have you got a picture?

Always worked for me......under the influence

I was watching the auction and saw the live bids

Andantes had a closing bid of 2500....

All Unplayed PayPal F&F, all reasonable offers considered

Ah okay, must be getting confused, I thought the with and without strings versions both came out, like the remixed Priscilla Page "I'm Pretending"

Didnt both versions come out on Temple?, doesn't help it being rare as hens teeth!

Anything to look for?, Demo, matrix No's??
