Previous Thread >>> <<< HI ALL.......I HAVE REMEMBERD, FINALLY, TO-DAY IS THE OLYMPICS START? SO THIS WILL DO TO START I have picked this classic, no real reason, just been in my head for days ENJOY THE FUN IN THE SUN DAVE

Hi All I will be starting a new thread for the RECORD of the DAY LATER on 7PMish...as it takes to long to load on my PC, Can I just mention, this thread is so eclectic & there has not been a single record, that I would reject from my box, this is down to the vast knowledge of all the contributors, what a brilliant All Nighter if this selection got played, The Peoples Choice Lost & Found really sums up what this thread is all about, great record very affordable, but more important it's a Classic, I love the record, great stuff laters, DAVE

HI How astute, the jackanory is based on a real character, but has nothing to do with the record in question, and he is the face on the Equals BSBEB Cover, my point is surely who cares? about this sort of info. Your reply is bang on, and reminded me of (true story) of 1976 when we worked with Glasgow's folk band, the TANNER HILL WEAVERS, At the NEW FARM RECORDING STUDIO, (*how I wish I could go back in time?) we refurbish the studio with equipment from ISLAND RECORDS in Harlesden, the 4 track AMPEX came with a box of tapes, to use as rehearsal demos, for those who I have heard this story sorry, but over 3 days of recording, we destroyed 18 hours of PRINCE BUSTERS UNREALEASED STUDIO TAPES FROM 1967, What we did not destroy is available on an LP from the late 8T's it's about 30 minutes long! topps! DAVE

HI ALL MMMMMMMmmmmmmmm I WAS TO DO SOMETHING? IT'LL COME TO ME!........... Early on I added this record to the thread on JACKIE EDWARDS, however after 3 phone calls received. I think I should of stocked up on it, however? The record was a very poor seller on release, for some of you out there, you may have got into this one about 2 years ago if you are on the UNDERGROUND SOUL IN-CROWD? or like me had records sold records, reminded about records that you have sold, and re discovered it, after playing TIGHTEN UP LP's. As a lover of both soul & reggae, who gets confused by the renaming of music styles, as i love the term norther soul, but hate the racist tag skinhead reggae, this record should be given the category "TIP TOP XOVER CHUNE" As that's exactly what it is, an a must for collectors to own, and play it LOUD!! JACKIE EDWARDS - I DO LOVE YOU c/w WHO TOLD YOU SO- BREAD BR-1100. Rated******6 stars? - Value £15 yesterday (been told that it is worth much more, from to-day?) D the DRUG Say's don't delay & buy to-day! ENJOY THIS ONE DAVE

HI What a funny question to ask? what you can hear is the voice of the man they call the "sweeper" Winston Mc Intosh, who moved to London in 65, as you are aware all recordings are done in one take! so the sweeper tried to get his voice noticed, there is a good PRESIDANT sleave,for BLACK SCIN BLUE EYED BOY, That's the sweeper, he is a old man now, and lives in FINSBURY PARK, he can still be seen wareing his ISLINGTON COUNCIL Donkey jacket swooping for buts? sad story of the STUDIO SWEEPER, Hope that answerd your question? DAVE

HI ALL,,,,,,I am suprised that this classic 2 sider has not gone realy big, and if I am right about rare records! this should be massive with those of you are new to the Reggae scene, this record on BREAD RECORDS is far removed from the "johnny you'r a gun man" reggae, It's a BILLY STEWART SONG, but only our man Jackie can cover the FATMANS tunes like this, both sides are excellantm and I would like to have feedback on it? It

HI IT'S ONLY ON THE RARE GAMBLE RE ISSUE DAVE

HI ALL A few months ago I sold a copy of Lenis Guess - "working for my baby" - SPQR full color& gold label, differant to those above. The record come out before "jost ask me", With 2 versions of "working for my baby" the side thats on the b side of "just ask me" and a Uptempo version of the song on the B side, although I had it for years, Mick had never seen, and wanted it, I am looking for a scan, However I can recomend the record as 100% northern Soul, got to be rare? DAVE

Hi All A Jamaican 2 hours late Pete? Have you never heard of Jamaican time mate? All I can say about TOOTS is this, having seen many many Live acts, late or not, Toots is one of the top 5 of them all, his reputation of his live preformance is a must, having seen him 3 times his act was differant each time, yet all his songs are classic (in my opinion), The last time I saw him was in Wolverhampton, before the smoking ban? as I no longer smoke the weed, I got wrecked from the intake of passive smoke from the herb! However got realy into the vibe man, like truely amazing man like you no! I mean man it was well roots in it? DAVE

HI ALL Heres a realy good remake of Tyrone Davis oroganal hit.

VERY LIMITED AND VERT RARE ALLEDGED TO BE THE 1st 12" 45rpm, there have been a few 12" releases now of the great record, the one to find is a TAMLA PROMOTIONAL COPY 1969, HERES A DAVE FACT, i WORKED WITH MARVIN 1076 THE TROUBLED MAN TOUR WHAT'S GOING ON? DAVE

HI TONY Yes indeed he did, in-fact he Dave Barker, Laural Aikin, & PAMA DICE were behind a lot of records that were recorded, in LONDON, that have become SKINHEAD CLASSICS, So it's the London sound, not the JA sound that rules?? DAVE PS. This is one of the 1st events that ANDREW from Notts put on, the Art Work is by "old school Jim" aka JIM SILES My close friend and part of "skinflint productions" "more than skin deep" & "the SPIRIT of 69" NICE POSTER FOR YOUR WALL, Any copies that are sold, will cost you £1K or public humiliation? I kid not! DAVE

HI ALL....IF you have stopped selling records, as I have (almost)? after a while you get around to rediscovering it , the record I have got for you to-night has 2 excellent sides, my fave side is "love made me blue" but the chosen side is a Funk organ number, this sort of record is for the purest of you, who can get into the groove thang! and almost a dead cert, this is will grow on you if it' be to you. On the SHARP RECORDS - RUSS LEWIS - "BRAND NEW RECIPE - 6040 B. Rated **** Value £? can't remember so £25? I hope you like the organ in this, as it's supreme stuff DAVE https://youtu.be/EBXumFnw69Q

Little boy blue also , Dice the boss, Pama dice, king horror & so on, as for Lord TOAD, it's possible that the sound disc just listed 1 side so it was renamed as DANCE BEAT, BLUES DANCE, BLUE BEAT, SKANK, RUM RYTHM, COKE RYTHM TENG & many more you do a stregato let the action begin with Lady O nice! Admiral DAVE sharper than a razor blade, so cough if you wanna get off

HI ALL.......Not quite sure what you mean as your question is followed by your answer? however if you want to know if it's ok! to buy from, well 100% all items are packed and dispatched very fast, many bargains on the drop down auction and in his stock, main auction all depends on how much you want something, as it's very rare that any thing slips through these days, mind you i am no big fan of auctions DAVE

HI ALL..Just to point out, that many mistakes were deliberate, as often the record was released in this country twice, B&C/TROJAN & PAMA INT, or a different cut, however also to be considered, is that at the record companies, in typical Jamaican style the info was shortened & misspelled, as many people who worked in UK pressing plants did not understand patwa yet alone when written down, it's has led us to some wonderful titles from the time, so there's just 2 of many issues to consider? Sir DAVE

HI ALL, They say that every good soul night, a classic record from Chicago must be played? normally it would be Major Lance Billy Butler, But from me I have picked this class record, The Knights - "I got a feeling" - USA RECORDS, Rated ***** Value £100, Enjoy Dave https://youtu.be/mBj7n6ieTNU

HI ALL...HERES A GOOD ONE? Yes indeed, for those of you that love 6T's SOUL, this is one of the best examples to have, and with it's hard to find tag, it's has every thing in place to call it a rare soul record :-HIGHLAND RECORDS - JOHNNY GUITAR WATSON -WAIT A MINUTE BABY - #1159 DEMO Rated by me as *****. Value £££s I don't no?. but it's a tuff one to find, with it's "wade in the water" sound. enjoy DAVE https://youtu.be/daNedAS3i5o

HI PETE......Nice one, and another MEMORY LANE find, I had a few excellent bargains from them,DEAN JONES DEMO £5. "soft walk-in" TOTO PIC SLEEVE £10, JIMMY THOMAS DEMO £20, & many records for under £5, If you look again at my posting, you will see that I put RN in it, this refers to one of my favourite collectors, who's knowledge on soul music facts is outstanding. I'm talking about Roger Nichols from Willingly, Roger gave me a box of rare 45s to sell, all quality & all rare, in the box was OLE-9 on a blue press, I had the box for about 6 weeks, I met Mick at the services on the M6 & showed him the box, (now we go back many years, and most records I have sold mick have always been at the same price I got them for, and he did the same in return, remember the day you wanted the Screamin Jay Hawkins DECCA DEMO, that I got of Mick? that was a typical deal) when it come to putting a price on the record I said £200, he thought about it, but turned it down, I assumed he thought I had to have got it for £100 and that I had marked it up??? I think you had just moved back from Kent, just a few moths later, and I bet Roger had sold it to John, as he had got a few thousand from him, Now I was told Mick had paid £400 for a copy, but your selling price seems to be what a dealer would pay, but if both records are the same record it means you mugged him or Mick mugged himself, only if it's the same record, I won't tell him! DAVE

HI ALL Today's record of the Day, I got from Mr Dave Welding (Top midlands collector,DJ & rack jobber) It's one of those rare R&W DEMOS, that we all have? don't we?
