Which GW are you after. I'm also a few short, we maybe able to help each other out? Offlist if you prefer. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

He He! Ask Mark Bicknell about record shops and flea markets! I remember having this discussion with you Russ as you arrived. Thrift store finds are few and far between Mate. Even most dealers have now become off limits for me due to the fact that they think all the records marked at 20UKP in JMs book are ACTUALLY worth that amount. I end up leaving stuff now that 5 yeras ago I would have swept up for a buck and sold for 5 bucks. Having trawled Bananas etc in Florida 20 years ago I can't be arsed paying $15.00 for $20.00 45s. Just not worth it. Have you tried the obvious: Ad in local paper (Had 2 results in 10 years) Actually setting up a Record Fair yourself At least your further up North where there's more locations to go at. You wanna try it here in the land of the coffin dodgers! Bring some $$$ to Hitsville Weekender in September and we'll see what we can find. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I'd get shut now then and buy 5 decent 45s with the Profit!. Truly awful record. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

You must have gone on different nights to me. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

The sooner the arse drops out of the "worth" of my record collection the better as far as I'm concerned. I regard my collection as worthless in financial terms. I'm sure many other collectors also do. Once the "investor" collector starts flapping and trying to liquidise their "asset" the better. I can then start buying seriously again! I'll wager I'm not the only one waiting in the wings either! In fact...I know I'm not. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Man, there are so many...........the unsung heroes of Rare Soul: Some more "unsung" than others: Bridges Knight Eaton Don Davis LeBaron Taylor J M Mathews Len Jewel Hestor/Wylie Ed Wingate Geo-Si-Mik Pied Piper Jo Armstead Etc Etc.........I'll give someone else a go. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Happens to me regularly. In fact last Tuesday I drove 300 miles round trip to check out a 250.000 stash that the guys said he just wanted shut off to make space. So the usual questions: How old? 45s/33s? Sleeved? Got all the right answers, turned to find box upon box of absolute rubbish. Not one single record to be had. Ended up buying a Spinners Demo and a Niteliters Demo just cos I felt sorry for myself AGAIN! Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Le Cam innit? Also....isn't this a male/female duet thingumijob? Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I've posted some Motown Demos up and will be posting lots more Nothern/Motown shortly ALL originals. Link is here, then click on "see sellers other auctions." https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 Cheers Peeps. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Sad news indeed. It seems that no sooner do the guys get "rediscovered" that it's time for them to leave. RIP Mr Laskey, Take a bow Sir, for job extremely well done. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I thought the listing showed up on both? Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Your delicate ears would shrivel up like wet walnuts and become inverted never to reappear again before the intro had finished Rod. Don't risk it Mate! 1954?? Good Lord that 45s older than me!! Hope it's aged better! Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Thanks for the update. Sad. Great talent. Would love to see him straighten out and get back to gigging. The curse of the demon drink strikes again eh? Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Tone, No I wasn't aware that they were one and the same. So are we to asume that Deena Johnson on Simpson is also Joshie? If that's so I would never have guessed that the same singer sang Sad Girl! Thanks for the info. Have to agree with you about Linda Jones. I remember the first time I heard her with the Moments on Stang - I'm So Glad I Found You. The record fair pumps along in good order but then when Linda's power is brought to bear the music, as well as the Moments vocals simply pale away into insignificance. THE femme voice of soul for me. No one comes even close. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

After all the bad news this week, I figured some good news was maybe the order of the day so...... Won a record on Ebay a few weeks back. Paid via Paypal and sat waiting for it arrive. Week later - Nothing. 2 weeks later - Nothing. So, I sends a message via eBay's "ask seller a question" facility enquiring as to where said 45 may be? Nothing! This week sent another message expecting to once again hear nothing, but this time the guy replies. His computer has blown, he's waiting for insurance to cough up for a new one, he's lost all his orders from customers, he's working on a borrowed laptop, his budgie needs worming, etc etc etc. So thinks I.....waster! Suprise, Suprise! This morning I recieved a well packed mailer containing said 45 MINT! And........wait for it............a letter of apology detailing his computer problems and his appreciation of my patience in the transaction with.................you won't believe it................a FULL REFUND of the price of the 45 AND the postage cost!! So.....to......Mr Terry Smith out of West Virginia who trades on eBay under -vinyl2-, a thunderous round of applause from the Moore household in appreciation of your customer service policy. Living proof that some guys still know how to do "the right thing". In appreciation I too have done the right thing and ripped his check up. I got the record, he got the money. S'how it's supposed to work right? Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com The 45 in question was that great Detroit double sider: Dee & Joe Who's It Gonna Be b/w I Found A Love - Jubilee W/Demo

Very very sad. Condolences to all Nige's family and friends. Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Dave, Could I ask a massive favour. Could you scan the photo and send it me Mate? info@hitsvillesoulclub.com Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I doubt whether this young lady realised the effect she would still have on an old soulie 40 years later! https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Deena_Johns...aking_Point.ram Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Thanks, much obliged. Which one is Tarnopol? Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Dave, Thanks for the tip.... My copy of Tony Douglas' book only goes up to 271! I have the paperback. Is the hardback from 2001 different? Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Sean, That was my thinking. You'd think so, but there's no pic of Tarnopol in it. (Must be the only pic missing!) The hunt continues! Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com
