TO TRUE I'M LAPPING IT UP!

Hi "sometimes dislexia comes in handy, when one gives a Fraudian slip" Don't you no?. I remember a plater at Coreys Mill, Stevenage Old Town, who was very gifted and gave a good pedel, Dave

Hi All ....I totaly agree, but there will always be a few caviats to this age old question, It has never been a simplistic question, and what is considard rare by you & me! is passe to other collectors, I dropped out of the exclusive must have click 25 years ago, for one reason only. As a married man with young kids, I could not justify to my partner the cost of records that I had & still felt I needed to own, especially when on the average wage, and as I very much liked to buy and sell, it was only my hobby, (however much the rare soul scene is a part of me, and influences me in the choice of recaptureing my fraternal youth, "am I really 60, in 3 weeks? as my cognition is of a 30 year old") Many of the records I have in my collection as we approach 2012, are no longer exclusive sounds, even if you have not got them, you will no them and seen them, over the years when you like me cant walk by a pile of records without being magnatised to look through them, In my studies of addiction, it is said that, when you put a piece of chocolate in your mouthm the high is more than a sexual orgasam, only for 1.4 of a second, when I look at records the anticipation is 100% higher, and certain records are of a much higher value, So personal taste is very much a factore of desire, not the monatry value, for example :- Spyder Turner MGM Classic "I can't make it anymore" is not rare exclusive & is for many of us POPULAR today as ever, I just plated Paula Parfet "love is wonderful" BEACAN BEA135, again we all no it as above, but in this case, if you wanted it now, even if you had the money! could you by it in the next 3 hours? So it is not as simple as to be an exclusive record, it's about your feelings about it that makes you want it, when I buy a record from a dealer, my opening gambit, has always been why are you selling it, just to here the explanation, that determins what offer I will make, I have only paid the asking price for a record if I feel that deeler has done the priceing right, making no need to hagle? On this subject I feel there is real answer to it, like how come Ranking Johnny Boy get's so much for his record sales? who cares. As Always DAVE

HI PETE That's a ridiculous price for such a rare record, if you consider what people spend on records these days, when i said Rocker that's my way of stating they had more success in the 50's not that they were greebos? however he did have some solo releases, DAVE

HI PETE Sorry but I was agreeing with you regarding Pookie Hudson as I have a Soul Bowl list from 77 with it on, and although John sold repressed records, i can't recall him selling bootlegs at all. Pookie Hudson although a 50's rocker in the Charlie Gracie Philly style, his norther/Wigan classic is still one of my Favorite records of all time, and a 1st issue must be worth getting, I would like to have a cdpy again, value today? can you help! DAVE

HI ALL This great record I first got a copy from Mick Smith in 72, also got the Pookie Hudson on the same label from Mick in 75, When I sold my 1st collection, I bought both singles back as reissues, not as bootlegs, JAMIE/GUYDEN, HAS MANY REISSUES, with the VIRTUE mark, as far as I no they are not bootlegs at all, just repressing? DAVE

COCKNEY REDS! What a laugh/

HI ALL I did not no Pete that well, but to put him in context with soul DJ's he was important to the development of the scene, and his manor was more like a twisted wheel punter of the early generation, and was an all round good guy! DAVE

Hi Ted want to swap it for a copy of "SHOTGUN" minty R&W DEMO? DAVE

HI TED,,I wrote a piece about this? myself 2 days ago similar to you the love of the B side, I have always wanted this record although it has alluded me,I would value it at £200 mint DAVE

Hi All, and what a good question, I will be brief and to the point, in the early days many women (girls) were on the scene and in some way as clubbers they were the original ladettes, equality was one of the scenes quality's however today's scene attracts much older people sadly,and most of the early Northern Soul scene was not based around male mid life crisis, and obsessive behavuaral traits, added to this men are possessiveness by nature and women tend to lack assertion to defuse envy and jealousy that women have to suffer if a female partner asserts an independent role, in short, the average male treats women as possessiveness, and automatically assumes that if their partner goes out all night, she will be unfaithful and become struck down by nymphomania with every man? the average male when it comes to females, sexual cognition is on par with a dog on heat?. Also the average male does not relate to the vulnerabilities that women live there daily lives, MARS & VENUS comes to mind, to end the old saying "GIRLS GROW UP & BECOME WOMEN1 BOYS NEVER GROW UP1? DAVE KILWORTH

Hi I have a Soul City & a OKeh copy spare both ex con PM me and SYP or come to WOLVES RECORD FAIR tommorow Mick Smith is there with the gang PETE ROY DAVE W & yours truly DAVE

Hi ALL...Years ago when GOD'S dog was a pup and I was 15, I have vivid memories of my first experience of my first visits into the local pub tagging along with my elder brother & sister both MODS as were my cousins and there mates, i can recall the records on the juke box, in particular Jimmy Ruffins "what becomes of the broken harted" . However it was the B side that was so popular, and has always been an all time Favorited of mine since them days. "Baby you got it" is a classic and pure MOTOWN, when I started collecting records in the rare soul way of collecting, it has always been a want to own a RED & WHITE DEMO of it, although over the years I have had a few DEMOS I have never even had a sniff at one, and following the end of John Manship s auction, the dream is all over for me, I cant compete with that price1 CAN YOU? DAVE K

HI TOADY BOY I HAVE ABOUT MOST OF THE TOP REGGAE TUNES THAT WAS PUT OUT BY TROJAN/B&C SUCH AS RED RED WINE REGGAE IN YOUR JEGGAE AND SO ON HOW MANY ARE THERE AND WHICH ONES HAVE THE A ON,NO ONE NOES SOME TITLES I LEAVE AS I ONLY COLLECT THE STUFF WOULD OF PURCHASED WHEN IT COME OUT, I AM NOT A STAMP COLLECTOR, THE ONES I HAVE ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR JAMES CARR FREEDOM TRAIN FOR 40 YEARS ON B&C AND STILL CANT FIND IT, IT'S HARDER TO FIND THAN DARE I SAY THE VOLUMES? DAVE PS:- THE DEMOS COME OUT 6 MONTHS BEFORE THE SURE SHOT BAGS, AND THE STAMPED DEMOS COULD BE FAKED, HOWEVER 1ST ISSUE RECORDS ON ANY B&C LABEL CAN EASY BE SPOTTED IF NOT ON THE #1 RUN.

HI ALL I HAVE NEVER HAD A BAD VERSION OF THIS CLASSIC LOVE SONG, WHICH BECAME A MASSIVE CROSSOVER REGGAE TRACK. AND USED ALSO AS A BACKING TRACK, ALL VERSIONS ARE WORTH PICKING UP FROM SLIM SMITH TO CLEARANCE CARTER DAVE

Hi All Theres seling a record or buying a record, and you tell mates you had it away whith whoever and so on, and we all no a record is worth whatever you are prepared to pay for it" however when the seller puts a price tag on it, he/she is not aiming it at me, but at the most gullible Take a butchers at this? Item number: 320806897282 and then tell me what the value of 1 of my original B&C DEMOS, HOW MUCH IS ASKING FOR TOOTS? MAKES THE ORIGINAL PYRAMID VERSION WORTH £500? THIS IS WHAT A RARE RECORD LOOKS LIKE?? "I KID YOU NOT" DAVE

HI TO ALL YOU DANDIES OUT THERE! Think John Waters must of spent his west end nights in Old Compton Street with a bit of "up Doc" on his Cuban's if I was you you should always keep one eye on the alert, especially if there are swoopers around?.. HELLO SAILOR, However the use of make up on the eyes was very fashionable in 65 I can see them now in there leathers eyes like cue bails out on stalks after taking a dozen hearts, rouge was used, and your sisters mum roll on deodorant or body mist, I did not like the Stepney MODS as they would cut you, if they caught you screwing them in the street, I was always prepared in certain areas especially if you were taking a sort home?. Inner London MODS were hard, I think that non Londoners, even if you are from a large city, don't fully grasp how big the place is, and how poor it was, we all could fight, so your cloths did not get ripped Spirit of 69 DAVE

:hatsoff2:HI ALL...........................NO! IT LOOKS VG, DAVE

HI ALL. OVER THE YEARS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED RECORDS, Most of the acetates I have come acros have been in a VG condition. as you will be aware, they were made for very limited short life use, the groves are cut into the alloy disk, so they are considered worthless in the music business world, and most collectors only pick up rare unisued titles and edits,, they are 2 types made, 1 is made for the artist and sound engineer, and the 2 for the A&R dept, never more than 10 are made[, the only work is wipe with lint free cloth, if a record jumps, use a cocktail stick and free up the grove blockage, never use any liqued on them, by doing that, you will not go wrong? :thumbup:DAVE

HI LIAM, TRUST ME BOY! THERE NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING AND USING POLITNES, IN MY LIFE EXPERIENCE, IT TELLS ME THAT YOU CAN HOLD YOUR OWN, IT TELLS ME YOU ARE BRIGHT AND ATTENTIVE, ALSO I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF YOU ARE A BIT OF A SPORTSMAN,? I AM SURPRISED YOUR OLD MAN DOES NOT NO THE PRICES, THE TKO'S IS A CLASSIC INSTRUMENTAL, THAT WAS IMPORTED AS SHIPS BALLAST IN 71, ANY ONE WHO WAS INVOLVED IN THE EARL YEARS WOULD RATE THE RECORD AS IT WAS PLAYED BY EVERY DJ, THE MAGIC TONES ON MAHS RECORDS, COME OF THE SAME SHIP! :shhh:RESPECT TO YOUR DAD :boxing:DAVE

:hatsoff2:" class="bbc_emoticon" src=" " title=":hatsoff2:" />HI ...1005 JAMAICAN PRESS, TAKEN FROM A UK PHILLIPS MASTER, SENT TO KINGSTON, VIA ISLAND RECORDS. ¹THIS RECORD TO ME BACKS UP WHAT, I HAVE TRIED TO STATE A FEW TIMES ON SOUL SOURCE, REGARDING ISLAND, AND JUST THIS WEEK, I WROTE TO MICK SMITH, EXPLAINING HOW THE COMPANY WORKED, ALSO YOUR COPY ALSO  DEMONSTRATES THE POVERTY OF THE COUNTRY, AS THE COPY I GOT FROM ANDREW IN NOTTINGHAM WAS ON A BLACK & RED SUE LABEL,  THE RECORD IS COLLECTIBLE, BUT IT MAKES YOU THINK!

MY RED &  BLACK COPY OF BIG JAY Mc WENT TO MICK, THAT WAS ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO! NICE FIND:thumbup:" class="bbc_emoticon" src=" " title=":thumbup:" />DAVE

Hi without actually having a chance to inspect them for you, They defiantly don't seem wrong to me, So if I was you I would not worry about them, I will stick my neck out as far as it will go to state they are 100% the real McCoy, A recognized British collector of 60's POP & SOUL, will check them out if you need a Provence of authenticity, should not cost more than a THANK YOU PINT, VALUE OF ACETATES INCREASES QUICKLY IF IT IS AN UNRELEASED STUDIO CUT OR A ROUGH EARLY MIX. As they are records that in my world are great, but on the RARE SOUL SCENE sadly there is no real demand, however they are very rare NICE! DAVE K.

HI ALL They look like they were some of my customers DERBY, KGB, COALVILE?? They look well! fit for f all :lol:DEFFO! NOT OUR TIM, AS I LOOK UP TO HIM DAVE

HI ALL I AM SURE IT IS A FEDDY PRESS, PETE. And Marc as you will already no! there is a large JA community in Canada, especially in Toronto, Also in the USA especially in NEW YORK CITY, That;s where all of the STUDIO 1 MASTERS are as the DODD'S took al the Treasure Isle & COXONE studio set up to, also if you look at many of the NEW YORK issues they are stamped by the original JA stamper (early ones only) apart from the labels they are the same! yet you pick them up for $1 each or you could be stupid and pay ££££'s for a Wailers tune on plum COXONE, you can't play the label? DAVE K

HI ALL LETS SEE IF THIS WORKS FOR ME? AS ALWAYS I CAN RECOMEND THE MUSIC THAT I POST FOR YOUR COLLECTION. This evening I have had an urge to share this fabulous instremental with you! as I am sure it's never ben played on the SCENE? If it has I still claim credit for discovering it, as when I did play it out, top UK collectors Roy Geldor (Darlaston) & Mick Smith did not no it and I have never seen it listed, so I hope you dig it, as it is a classic inst with the 60's JAZZ MOD sound that i could listen All Night to! Oh yeah! From the pen of the great Lalo Schifrin - "Venice after dark" UK MGM-1329. RATED ***** VALUE Issue ?. Demo ?. HOWEVER IT IS RARE! I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE ORGAN BREAK? :g:MMMM!
