Make me an offer I can't refuse!

What's Going On lp start to finish

The legend that is "E. Croom" , published by little peoples music as usual for Herman Griffin.

have you got a phone Ted?

Every thing sounds great in old money

Sad news

Thats the other side, a faster version, i.e. not the same backing track

I played it twice at Cleethorpes on Saturday night, great stuff! can't do sound files though-sorry Ted.

Delegates of Soul "Running Back" Uplook 350 mint unplayed Districts "One Lover" make me an offer Cliff Nobles "My Love Is Getting Stronger' JV 200 Major Burkes "You're Gonna Miss Me" Gulf 250 great texas stormer Lela Martin/Soul Providers "Can't Have Your Cake" Melatone 150 Derek Martin "Breakaway" Roulette 60 his best northern Willie Tee "I Want Someone" Atlantic 40 so very good Sinceres "Girl I Love You" Pzazz 200 Sunlovers "You'll Never Make The Grade" Breakthrough (orange) 100 make me an offer, go on you never know!!!

A fair point, depending on storage vinyl does sweat, this can be cleaned though. I've got numerous 45's from Detroit that were unplayed before I got my hands on them, that have what can be only described as elctrostatic noise on them, eg. "Real Humdinger" again vinyl problems not the mastering.

I had 4x 25 count boxes of multi-coloured Soozi issues from Barneys in Chicago, none had any hisses, all the copies of Otis Clay "Only Way Is Up" did though none had seen a needle.

The amount of ale you boys got thru last Saturday,I'd think everything sounded like it was slowing down

not possible, maybe you're not clear on what the fault is? all copies play clear, but go a bit whooshsie at the break down.

Agree with Mr. Rounce, most of the problems are in the mastering, Jean Carter has been known for years, the same fault exists on the 70's MCA re-issue, the only "clean" version I've heard is on Ady's acetate that came out of the Carlin haul albeit a slightly different vocal track, most Joey H's slow down down slightly, mines a German Brunswick its a better sound than the US copy but, still with that fault, and for topicality, Carl Carlton "Competition" on Action the bass falls away just as the first verse starts. Chris/Marke Jackson the b-side on the US releases are off centre, UK Soul City is fine?

All instrumentals by label order!

Louis old chap how are you??

Mine is mint, but alas not for sale

I went to most of them, and the one 'round the corner from it where Ion & myself did a couple of do's t

BOLLOCKS FORGOT! Get it next time around.

Good job you gave up collecting UK stuff a while back eh Dave?

Astounding hypocrisy. On the northern scene!! NEVER!!!

Can I snipe on the Mad Lads?

They won the "SPECIAL INTERNATIONAL AWARD", has this been mentioned? any thoughts??

Looking at his recent purchases (apart from these fine Atlantic releases) a bodybuilding book and a pit bike coil, so watch out!
