DAVE

HI ALL Before I start the best lender is in my pants! but for those who have seen my 1974 soft porn film "a girl on you hand, is better than 2 in a taxi" or "take 3 girls" only a bit part? I digress.... BIG NEWSFLASH!!!! Tonight at 10.30 I received 2 packages from 2 of the most knowledgeable record collectors in the UK, In package (a) there was / is the best new record of the year, it really is sublime, and would win you vote as the best end-er I'm sure, HOWEVER until I have spoken to the sender to ask his permission to play it, you will have to wait 48 hours, sorry but it will be worth it? DAVE K

HI ALL JUST HAD TO DIG IT OUT & PLAY "BABY JANE"! a great 2 sided very collectible on RED ATLANTIC, "turn back the hands of time, all versions of this song are made unique by the artist OTIS CLAY, VERNON GARRET BOBBY ADENO, & so on, if you are fortunate to own Jimmy & David Ruffins TAMLA MOTOWN LP - I'M NOT MY BROTHERS KEEPER!" how apt, and you here the #1 version of the song, shame there is no 34 of it?? DAVE K

HI AND BEFORE I PUT UP TONIGHTS POST, THE STANDARD OF THE SELECTED 45's is just OUTSTANDING. TO THE PIONT THAT MY CHOICES ARE INCONGRUANT, BUT THATS CAN BE VERY GOOD, ANY WAY THE CLOCKS GO AROUND AT THE WEEKEND, SO IT WILL BE DARK & LONELY (CLUE) My Pick from my BOX is proper MOD VINTAGE in every respect, this is KOOL MAN, CRAZY KAT MUZIC! Shame he is a septic? (I suppose they gave us their Ivy League look shrink to fit jeans R&B SOUL& BLUES THE MODS LOVE THIS TUNE BACK THEN & TODAYS MERCMEN & METCETTES, SO NEAT. I must state that the cut is from the US 45the UK 45 has the edge, as I say this 45 is the one you spin to impress your spot is the best? RIVERSIDE 106908 RIF - MARK MURPHY - "WHY DON'T YOU DO RIGHT, (get me some money to!) - year 1962,Rated*****, Value £100, for the UK 45, US?? So why don't you do right! and enjoy this superb 45, DAVE K https://youtu.be/vWspLVCtu0Q

HI ALL...This is a real fave of mine, to-days value?? how much do you think? it comes from the hat day of the NORTHEN SCENE massive record at Peterborough/St Ives also at WIGAN, not 100% but I think this was a BEDFORD find that was played at the Howard Mallet then at EASC All-nighters then at Wigan, To have a copy in the 7T's was hard enough as this superb record could only be obtained by going out and about to every junk shop that you could find. The record is sort after by UK & US SOUL COLECTORS as it had no US release, The BOOTLEGS are as Pete described, all the BOOTS did was to make the record even more harder to find, although it was not played for awhile in 84 it was revived and up went the price, My copy is VG+ Paid £20 at the 100 CLUB on a rare visit! alTHOUGH NOT FOR SALE it's value is £200+ a mint copy I would expect to go for £350+ I am sure someone will disagree with me? Is it a SOUL RECORD.??....maybe not but it is a CLASSIC MORTHERN SOUL RECORD!..OH YES!! DAVE K RATED *****

HI Yes it's mid 6Ts Pink DECCA DEMO. ISSUE MID 6Ts DECCA BLACK with coloured bands, thick large lettering, great record that I ain't got no more?? DAVE FORGET THAT NONSEANCE RUBBISH, WHITE KAPP DEMO RED A, I WAS THINKING! BETTER PUT MY HEAD INTO GEAR!!!

HI ALL....Not sure if this early sound from Kingston JA, Hortence Ellis had such a good voice for a femal Jamaican? true, most women of the Treasure Isle screech their songs, JACKIE & HIS GIRLS? more like JACKIE & ALLY CATS! However the proud parents of Alton & Hortence Ellis, as the become Top Jamacain artists, Hortence did a few very good soul cavers reggae style, But it's this obscure 1963 45 on R&B DISCS London, that the soul scene wants to hear, all be it 50 years on' in fact whatever your taste, never leave any record on R&B LABEL, as their are many collectors who pay well for missing #, Goergie Fame is a classic, and Jimmy James do you want to jump children 5 stars, R&B RECORDS - HORTENCE ELLIS - i'll come softly - RATED ***** VALUE? Copy in scan cost £4.05 2 weeks ago that included P&P from Canada, also look out for Jimmy James song on WIRL as this is the reply to his great tune, Please enjoy? :thumbsup:DAVE https://youtu.be/SWUsKvCEMMs

ADY at the end of 1970 i purchased many US MOTOWN TAMLA SOUL VIP MAHS RIC TIC & MORE from a warehouse in Letchworth this is were I first met John WILKINSON from Notts who was living & working in Letchworth I got the Jackie lee from him, also I remember CHRIS GALARD requesting it when I use to DJ in 1 of the 3 pubs in that quakertown, happy days,

BRI Imay be wrong but my 45 the TAMS HEY GIRL b/w CHUBBY CHECKERS DISCOTEQUE, look like they were pressed up on a PYE STAMPER? is that right or can yo confirm, dave

HI JULES .. YES HE DID, BB was a well know DJ on Mersyside in the late 6ts sort of Pete Waterman type, he was (i think) the DJ who sold CIGARETE ASH JC MIRWOOD for £80 and it got released on JAY BOY 2 Weeks later??

HI ALL...Following on from yesterday, the interruption made, made me forget to make the conclusion to my posting, So here goes Philip James & lloyd Campbell, made some fine records way into the 7T's, However it is the 1964 sessions recorded at FEDERAL KINGSTON, That gave us the trax on the BEHOLD LP. and it is around this time that both Byron Lee issued his latest LP also the MAYTALS, Because of this you get Philip James credited or the blues busters & TROJAN 6 years on making the mistake by naming the MAYTAL, As we no all trax are the BLUES BUSTERS with Philip James taking the lead (in a duet is that possible? So to conclude SOUL is the original label, with the coloured vinyl being more collectible, Byron Lee BRA Label was a 6t's reissue label & has some great records on, the value of the 45s is a hard one as they are rarer but reissues, the original JA BEHOLD LP is SUNSHINE S/LP 002 although you may see it listed as FEDERAL 002, Below I have put the back of the sleeve, for your into, the ISLAND LP & THE DOCTOR BIRD LP are very hard to find and fetch CORN, the UK ISLAND 45 is a must keep or a big sale depending on taste AS ALWAYS DAVE

HI SORRY FOR NOT GETTING BACK SOONER? The Rangers is almost identical in design, the MAN UNITED IS BLUE LETTERS WHITE BACKGROND, Please note the valuation of the MAN UNITED 45 I got off EBay from a dealer in football memorabilia, I agree with you but I would use that as a auction starter not a set sale, I also pick up football records, SPURS, is quite rare on 6ts label but m west ham records mean the most? After speaking to ROY GELDER last weekend (top UK collector) informed me of a few records that were bootlegged for the rare soul scene starting in 1966, when I get the details I will post them,so my TAMS is nowhere near the 1st? it's a name that this thread did not reveal more info, as all early BOOTS are rare and collectible, thanks DAVE

HI WIGGY Thanks for responding and as I say collecting world music Afro, soundtrax,& KPM LP'S can be expensive Mind you at Wolves record fair last SATURDAY I noticed about 15 KPM LPs some were only £5, sadly no MO HAWK though? over the last few years there have been some ex reissues of rare stuff, all cheap and all worth getting? DAVE

HI ALL...JUST TRIED TO SEND A PM TO GENE, RE:- THE COMENTS HE IS TAKING NO MESSAGES FROM ME, MUST BE MILLWAL??

HI ALL ..I will deal with GENE later! the point I was going to raise may seem poultry to some, but of interest to others? On the sleeve of TTL 15 "WIDE AWAKE IN A DREAM" is credited to the MAYTELS, whose name is used rightly as the A side of the island WI 219 45 "TELL ME THE REASON" This 45 has always been a much wanted side with SKA Collectors, and with the BLUESBUSTERS on the B side being in demand on the RARE SOUL SCENE, with poor sales, this has become a high price 45, However for me it was many years later that i become aware that it was the BLUES BUSTER PHILIP JAMES. The BEHOLD LP on ISLAND ILP-923 is an excellent must have LP, The JA SOUL release is the original issue, and there are several color vinyl copies to get green yellow red, i have had, BRA is a WIRL reissue label from the 1960s with some excellent records on it, are the records worth more on BRA? Who knows, but I would say a colored original on SOUL is worth more, and the UK ISLAND COPY much rarer and much wanted, PS,, GENE would you please explain why you have retorted to highlight my full name on this site?? and your comment on sucking eggs? be constructive and please reply, AS ALWAYS DAVE K

HI ALL....Why do you collect records? if like me, your collection gets plenty of play, and as collector you have the BUG, then you will be a regular buyer of records, week in & week out, Many collectors who have the top rare records, have achieved this buy buying & selling there prize dusties at a time they were at the peak, and invested in records that had yet to get big, these collectors are the best resource for getting rare records with imperfections, as trying to collect mint condition records 40 years old would be an impossible venture, In today's market their are those people who will only buy records in ex or better condition, as they view that in the long term they were investing for the future, (The truth of the matter they have already missed the boat, by 4 years?) As a collector who buys records for personal enjoyment, I will consider any record for my collection, as long as I can restore it to play, and as such over the years many rare records with hairline cracks I have obtained cheap, the same goes for UK Records with NOC if it ain't in my collection I will buy it, and upgrade it over a period of time. Keith said he will find a home for it, I'm sure he will, as he knows that a collector will purchase it exists somewhere? DAVE K

HI ALL IT has been over 40 years that I first heard the classic "wide awake in a dream" by Philip James (BLUES BUSTERS), On a series of LPs put out b TROJAN RECORDS, The LPs kept the tradition that ISLAND RECORDS were famous for, bringing obscure Jamaican records to the UK,, Back in 1968, the first REGGAE records become very popular with both black & white kids, in areas of the UK where the black immigrants from the WEST INDIES first settled, REGGAE music was the new dance that come out of KINGSTON, picked up on in LONDON straight away by ISLAND & PAMA, PAMA RECORDS being more in touch with youth culture than ISLAND RECORDS, Who were more interested in their new PINK LABEL, PAMA played their Ace card with LAURAL AIKEN, and promoted the new sound at the young, Meanwhile TROJAN released the true JA product, and quite early on, TROJAN reissued the classic SKA RECORDINGS on 3 lps, and it is on TROJAN TTL 15 INDEPENDENT JAMAICA, track 2 side 2, that "WIDE AWAKE IN A DREAM" by the Maytals to be continued in 3 hours DAVE K

s HI CHEERS FOR THE INFO "NOT A LOTTA PEOPLE NO THAT?" The classic film "GET CARTER" comes from the ear tattood on my arm 1969, for many people back in the 1980s watching it on a VHS, many people who collected music, wanted the "GET CARTER" Score up until then our world of collecting as eclectic as it was back then, relied on info sharing and knowlage colation, as it was HIP not to disclose the knowlage, we all plated "FO FO" (Fof & find out youself) some one told me it does exist on a JAP LABEL £300+. & LONG DELETED, Once we entered the digital world 1982 we d CD's and that caused mayhem? as rare records come out day after day, "get carter" has been about for 10 years, the ROY BUD 45 has a good repro on blue PYE & can be heard on the most bizzare TV programes, some great music out there in the world DAVE

HI ALL. Here's a platter that will matter, this was a ALL-NIGHTER sound dance to by the in-crowd of MODS from LONDON to BIRMINGHAM to LIDDYPOOL, DIE DIE DIE! oops couldn't resist the JACK SLADE INTRO. When GOD gave ADAM EVE she looked around and said, i;m bored lets do something to-gather ADAM was happy to be a hard man, EVE said I don't fancy plumbs mate? I wanna dance to DONNIE ELBERT I can't help my-self When we think about rude music, the mid 6t JA style comes to the four Mr DONNIE ELBERT loved to put innuendo into his songs as the US Title of song shows, left of the UK Recording, SUE WI-396 - "YOU CAN PUSH IT OR YOU CAN PULL IT" DONNIE ELBERT EXCELLENT 5~~~***** UPTEMPO DANCER, VALUE £20 MY TYPE OF RECORD, (That's why I never get asked to DJ??) ENJOY DAVE

HI STEVE Did o play it ou and did it go down well,? if you want to sell or trade it, let me no, coz I love NORTHERN SOUL, YEH! PROPER STUFF, As much as I like LEEDS and Mr Pat, DAVEt

HI ALL,,,PETE I thought you meant the Mike Mansfield LP, The last copy I sold was last year £100, however i have seen it sell for £15 & £200+ mad, the 45 I have must be worth £40, not that I would sell my copy, it's to rare to flog, TALKING of DANCING IN THE STREET! On this Iconic LP,by Jack Hawkins, recorded at BLACKPOOL MECCA TRACK #2 SIDE 1, 30-60-90 is from the GET CARTER FILM, Thus making the LP collectible, this LP is a must some of the music would fall into PETES awful cat, however with the GET CARTER CONEX the quality seems to improve somewhat, a bit like a UK DEMO sounds better than a ISSUE, OR IS THAT JUST ME? NICE SCANS FOR YOU TO LOOK AT???? DAVE

HI ALL I can't remember the vocal (thank GOD) But remember it being played at WIGAN + EASC by RS, I think he said it was ARTHER WRIGHT ORCH? *(CU) and yes it does sound like JOHN BARRY, Nice record would like a copy myself, DAVE

HI ALL...Sometimes....the woman on ima celeb get me out said.. The "SOMETIMES" is so important, it excludes the crap, The 33rd 100 CLUB 45, is a CLASSIC, HOWEVER my copy has a very feel good tonic that is more uplifting than many would imagine, and is for me good medicine, for depression,? What's DAVE talking about? well it has been a day for sentimental, the 45 will serve me as a reminder of the GOOD GUYS who take for granted, I'm for ever singing the praises for my old mate Mick Smith, HOWEVER CAN I THANK, ADY CROSEDALE FOR THE 45, TODAY HAS BEEN SOULFUL THANKS TO YOU, So RIGHT ON ADY, You kept the Faith going for many, to-day it was me, SO KEEP ON KEEPING ON, & RESPECT From me to you, not sometimes but all times PS:- Jim gave the record a thumbs up!
