First one of the day: Philly Devotions - Hurt So Bad - Columbia Demo Regards, Dave

Fantastic! Thanks for posting. Regards, Dave

Mario, You need to contact Dante. He is from Mexico also and he runs nights there. He is on here. Regards, Dave

THE most important event in the History of Northern Soul: Date: 1959 Event:: Berry Gordy borrows $800 from the Gordy Family Collective. Reason: Just about everything else stems from this pivotal event. Regards, Dave

I have a demo that also plays fine. Regards, dave

Pete, Yep, Seen a couple. Pink label, same as Monk Higgins etc. Ginger has on in UK. Have a scan somewhere, I'll try and find it. Regards, Dave

Am still looking for a copy of: Johnny Sales - Can't Get Enough Of Your Love - St Lawrence WEST COAST STYRENE COPY Cash waiting. PM or hitsville2648@earthlink.net Any help appreciated Regards, Dave

NICE! That's what I'm talking about. Regards, Dave

My ambition is to get these guys to autograph this photo. Anyone got ANY of these guys signature on ANYTHING? I'm over there in March and am hoping to get at least two of them to sign it. Here's hoping... Regards, Dave

Finally, here's the poster we did of the Harthon Trio all signed up by them. Can't be many of these around now. Fantastic momento of a fantastic weekend. In my Top 5 soul memories.

Here's a pic more contemporary. Taken by Bev at the Ritz in 1998 and signed by Brenda the week after at The Mechanics in Burnley. Not only could the lady still warble with the best of 'em, but she was a LOOKER too! AND a flirt! Great memories. Bev had this blown up as a poster before Brenda signed it. Regards, Dave

A great vintage pic of Sammy Campbell. This was also signed in NJ after the best rehearsal I've ever witnessed. A true artisan. I taped it all and often play it back in my music room. A great memory. In my Top 10 'soul' memories. Regards, Dave

Mr 'Tighten Up'. Also at the record fair in NJ. It was through this afternoon that we established who The Four Perfections really were. Archie has more energy than blokes half his age! Another great memory.

Mr Deon Jackson. One of my all time heroes through Ollie Mac. With the help of our very own Bob A, we spent a fabulous afternoon with him in Chicago reminiscing his catalogue over a great lunch. I managed to get him to commit to an appearance in UK for Chris Waterman's New Century Soul but unfortunately he changed his mind. One artist I would pay dearly to see/hear live. Regards, Dave

Signed by Norman Donegan of The Ad Libs at the record fair in New Jersey. He was a great bloke, who stole Bev's heart. He was there promoting the legacy of Otis Blackwell. (If you're not sure about Mr Blackwell's legacy then it's worth researching!). We got him (Norman) to sing "Think Of Me", which he actually remembered! Another great memory. Regards, Dave

Signed by Matt Lucas in the music room at his ranch. I arrived a couple of days AFTER Pete Smith had bagged his last copy of "You Better Go Go". Had a great day with him though. He wrote the lyrics to the instrumental of Backstreet whilst I was there. Don't let anyone tell you "Shake It" is a Golden World acetate!

Attachment failed. I'll be back. Regards, Dave

These were signed in 2007 at the Hitsville Weekender in the US for Alan Pollard. There were also 25 full color posters created that were also autographed by the all three of the guys. Now Weldon has passed that's it, no more can be done. I'll dig out my poster and put it up. Anyone got any vintage promo photos signed? Regards, Dave

Gavin's? Regards, Dave

Nice one! Is there a pic of Lou in his heyday. Would make a nice framed twosome eh? Regards, Dave

One of my prized possessions is the original sheet music (complete and almost mint), to Still Waters by the Four Tops. It's signed by all four of the guys just above their individual photographs. I noticed JM is auctioning a Four Tops autographed LP and wondered if anyone has any similar items of interest? Not so much a scan of labels signed at Prestatyn type thing but authentic vintage signed memorabelia. What yer got folks? Regards, Dave

Isn't this the follow up to 'Stars On 45" from a couple of decades ago? Regards, Dave

I've travelled all over the Continent and the US and have never had to pay anything to anybody. I am constantly moving in and out of Spain with 45s as do many of my Mates. None of us have EVER had a problem. When coming from UK to Spain at many airports there is no immigration or customs, it's a EU destination. In the US, many security checkers will ask to see inside your box simply as they don't see 45s much. I've never been asked if I'm a DJ or if I am working. I simply tell them I'm a record collector and it usually results in a short conversation and being told that their parents having some of these ole rekkids in the attic. Regards, Dave PS. I did once have to pay for an empty bag to be put aboard a RyanAir flight so I could keep my box as onboard baggage. That's RyanAir for ya.

All the best 'Minsh'. Speedy recovery Matey. Best, Dave
