This is the only one I have of theirs. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Always had good service from John for over 20 years, and in fact if you dig around in his catalogue there are still some nice bits to be found. Buy for tomorrow NOT yesterday is my motto. Too much competition for the medium rare oldies nowadays from the returnee wannabee DJ crowd. As far as some of the astronomical prices are concerned. All sorts bid on his auctions. Loads on here have admitted it to it in one breath and then "complain" about someone else doing it a week later! . And if you want to sell something, loads of people go scuttering off to John's hoping to make a killing. You can't have it both ways can you? VelVets on 20th Century Fox at 450 quid! Scary stuff indeed! But rekkid collections are like the stock market, they are only worth what you sell them for. If you don't sell then they become valueless in monetary terms. Therefore my 30 year collection is worth absoulutely NOTHING. And that's just the way I like it!! Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi Jamie, Wouldn't dream of being judgemental about another collector mate. If I came accross as that then I apologise unreservedly. As I said, each collector does his own individual thing. I just get a liitle wound up at times when non vinyl collectors seem to want to "point out the error of my ways" all the time. I'll still be "at it" when the latest set of "soul heroes" are long gone again. See, as we all know, there's a distinct difference between a collector and a "person on the soul scene". Nothing right or wrong about either......it's just that they're different animals imo. As far as the toilet roll fiasco is concerned. I always found that there arsewiping ritual a bit of a waste of time so never had to buy the stuff. Which of course meant ANOTHER twopennybobshilling W/Demo came my way! Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com PS. Welcome to the "uninformed knobber" club anyway. I've been a member for just about all my adult (ish), life!

Nosh? Sleep? Family? Nosh? Can't afford too much nosh as it all goes on the licclkeblackroundplatikkyfingswotweluvs&treshures Sleep? There's loads of time for this when yer dead. Family? Tossed them wasters out years ago Mate! Became too much of a drain on the vinyl resource! LOL! i know what you mean mate. That's why I'm a big believer in "cut your cloth according to your means" and respect EVERYONE who does that. Best of luck hunting mate. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

I can confirm that Sheridans is up for sale. I've spoken to Rodz and he has asked me to let it be known that it is up on the block. Any entrepeneurial soulie wanna ready made business running allnighters etc? He has also asked me to convey that all the current allnighter/soul do bookings WILL be honoured and hopefully will convey to the new owner as part of the 'deal'. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hey Dodger, Yer like a dog wiv a bone!! Let it go man......get over it......us "uninformed knobbers" ain't gonna change the habits of a lifetime just coz you're a tight bastard who won't spend owt on real records so has to buy cheap disco shite! LOL! Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

If I have to keep explaining, you ain't never gonna understand. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Got the LP for 21 US (Yesterday), There's another one on Ebay at the moment for 17 lbs I think. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

That's what I thought. The reason I asked is that a friend of mine here in US told me he thought he remembered seeing a couple. I have loads but no Canadian. It seems you've confirmed what I believed. There ain't any! He's confused. Thanks for the reply. Regards, Dave www.histvillesoulclub.com

Hi all, I'm trying to complete an article about Motowns international issues that were issued with Pic Sleeves. :search: Has anyone got any Canadian/Brazilian/Israeli/Mexican 45 60s issues? I haven't got any and would appreciate any details anyone can give me or point me in the right direction. Much obliged. Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com :search:

Mike, Got any playlists? Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Cheers, John, I'm sick of sittin' on mi arse in the sun every weekend!! Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Hi All, Any US members should take a peek at this....... https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MESE:IT Thanks a lot, Regards, Dave www.hitsvillesoulclub.com

Good Grief!!! Regards, Dave www.histvillesoulclub.com

This is one site that archives auction prices. Regards, Dave www.popspike.com

Uh?? Don't remember much outside The Allnighter World of the 70s mate! As far as foot tappin' Glenn Miller goes............err, maybe I should get out more then. Regards, Dave

Ollie was a giant amongst many in the Detroit heyday. His contribution ranks up with the best. Everyone I've spoken to rated him as a 'stand up guy' too which is always nice. Once the article is on the website I'll send a link so any interested parties can review it. Regards, Dave

Most Jobete artists from '62 - '69. If it's just the "raresoul" stuff you're looking for then these must deserve a mention in despatches: Magnetics Precisions Embers Otis Leavill Volumes AdLibs Dynamics Garland Green Lou Johnson Etc etc etc........... Still amazes me that most of the stuff we love, was mostly all overlooked at the time. Regards, Dave

As I put the feelers out to try and kickstart a "Proper Norman Scene" here on the East Coast, a mates wife (American) observed...." WHAT?? You're going to try and get youngsters to listen to music that's 40 years old?? Are you insane?? That's like telling you when you were 18 that you should listen to Big Band music, like Glenn Miller, from WWII !! " She kinda put it all in perspective don't ya think? made me laugh tho. Regards, Dave

Thanks Matey. Regards, Dave

Hi all, Can someone tell me when and how Ollie passed on? Also......has anyone got a decent picture of him (from any era)? Tia guys, Regards, Dave

An equally fine ditty Billy Lad. Regards, Dave

Fantastic Record. Time and place maybe but Fantastic all the same. Regartds, Dave

Love it all so long as it's good. Still love most oldies after 30 years. Just coz they're played out don't make 'em bad records all of a sudden. As a collector, there's still 1000s of the liccleblackshinybuggers I've never owned so the search never ends. In fact it gets more intense as every year passes there's stuff you only just heard and need to find. I find this "I'm now enlightened" attitude a load of bollox and a bit condescending. There's more hypocrisy on the "Northern Soul Scene " now than ever before in my opinion. Just luv it for what it is. Regards, Dave
