Because RobbK pointed out above that based on record information Sam and Kitty would be Chigaco based.

If anyone has one for sales please let me know by PM Thanks Andy

Mal flip the Sammy Lee over. Mid tempo magic Andy

Can never go wrong with a Rolly

Nice frugal came in. Bulova Lunar Pilot - a homage to the Apollo space mission where astronaut Dave Scott had to replace his non-functioning Omega provided by NASA with his own personal Bulova whilst in space. It worked perfectly. Whilst this will cost you 400 quid or so, the original Dave Scott watch sold recently for $1.6M

He’s on Modern Soul Vinyl site if you are on there. You could PM him.

Was a regular at the KGB and still have my membership card. We’d see Nev at a midweek do at Inky Social Club Chesterfield and he would come and pick us up at Sheffield train station on Saturday evening. We used to do the warm up before the nighter and grab some chips and nick a bottle of milk from the diary nearby waiting to get back in to the nighter. The trains from chesterfield early evening were always pretty full and most made the long walk to the venue. Nev taxis were great for us especially if it was bad weather. Good times and happy memories. Andy

Hi All For sale today a Mecca tune long forgotten but now on the rise again. Side A is a banging uptempo modern crossover piece typical of the Mecca tune which is now reactivated. The flip side is a more mellow mid tempo cut, which again appeals to many in and around the lowrider genre and in demand itself. Last sold on Discogs in May at £125, where the lower grades have still fetched £60 or so in recent times. Timmy Thomas - Whats bothering me / Dizzy Dizzy World - Climax Ex £70 YT clips for ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuMZT-3i8Qk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t-G9d1og50 Post and Pack £2.5 first, £4.50 Signed, £6. worldwide std air.

I've sent many records to the US with no real issue. What you put on the customs form really depends on the buyer, whether he wants insurance etc, what the declared value is an so on. I've sent as Gift and nominal $5 value with no issue. One thing I would say is the postal service varies significantly from city to city and state to state. USPS have a good tracking system on line once its in the US.

BBC 'Woman's Hour' has previous form I think. I recall some years ago there was a female NS DJ (cant remember her name) that was asked to go on the show to tell the women how hard it was to be a female in a mans world. When the producer spoke to her sometime before the planned show, she said that all of the male DJ's were very helpful and she had experienced no sexism at all. The show then said the segment was being dropped. Surprised...not. Somebody will know more detail than me but that was the gist of it as I recall.

I’m not sure you can categorically call it a bootleg. Many recording contracts in the sixties and seventies did not require an artists permission to issue a track, along with other terms that may raise eyebrows and were not favourable to the artist. It happened on both indie and major labels. No skin in the game for me as I don’t own it.

An excellent and honest appraisal from Tim @Colouredman. What I take from this and the subsequent comments is that it was really ‘of its time’ which is my own feeling on it. Nighters were still the place to go and the dancers were looking for something frantic and pounding to dance to, and this fits the bill. There are many other Northern tunes in a similar vein as has been said. Does it fit in to todays scene, I’m not sure ? But as I said previously it’s about personal taste. Andy

Its the best thing since sliced bread, or its a triumph of rarity over quality. I think what we've learned from this thread, its about personnel taste - as we all know. 👍

Hi I just bought a Technics SU-VX500 (with mono setting) to replace the old NAD 3120. Connections from the amp to the speakers were via banana plugs into the amp sockets on the back of the NAD. It seems the Technics amp will not take the banana plug connections. I saw a glimpse of an old Technics manual on line (a bit unreadable) and it said just to use speaker wire as I read it. Is this correct does anyone know ? Alternatively is there a different connection the amp will take (and also speakers) ? Bit of a novice at all this stuff. Attached a photo of the back of the amp for reference. Thanks for any assistance Andy

Remember this well and the person involved. Some people took a big hit on these.

Hi For sale today a classic Cleethorpes tune that has remained rare since the early days. There was a version done on the Bionic label but it is nowhere near the original in quality or rarity. The last JM guide I had said around £400 for this tune. Been in the storage box for 20+ years. Grades used M, Ex, VG and +/- to fine tune. Grading is usually on the conservative side. Charles Russell - it ain't easy - Psyche VG+ £175 Play grade Ex to Ex+. Hairlines on the styrene, but no deep scratches, gouges or skips. Label has a birthday dedication written around the side of the label (see scan) but clean otherwise. Payment as Paypal F&F or add 4% to the total if you wish to use this route. Post would be £2.50 first, £4.00 recorded. Please PM to ask questions or order. Thanks Andy

Hi all For sale: RELOOP 1000 M Belt Drive Turntable in Black complete with head shell and stylus. NOW £50 This is about 2 years old and in full working order excellent condition. The current price for one of these is 220- 240. A really good deck for the money. The good lady wife has bought me a new turntable for Crimbo, which is the only reason for the sale. All boxed and ready to go. See photo's. The buyer can arrange collection / shipping via the likes of Hermes / Evri and other couriers, and I reckon it will cost about £10 for UK delivery. Full details and address provided to the buyer. Payment by Paypal as F&F or add 4%. PM with questions or to purchase. Thanks Andy

For me: Frankie Beverley - wanted Tamala Lewis - won’t say nothing As a kid in the 70’s I’d hear these and dash for the dance floor. My tastes may have changed but these intros still make the hairs stand on end. Andy

Price reduced. Need the space now cheers andy
