Dave...what about that time you DJ'd at The North Cheshire for us and someone came in from the party in the back room seperate from the Soul night and asked you for some Beatles...lol you never let me forget that one mate....well it's my excuse it was someone from the party or was it one of our regulars???? Happy days...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Having been round the block with this DJ thing for more years than I care to remember, I've more than had my fair share of requests and I'm almost sure it's been the same people following me around or so it feels like...lol during this time, as Mark said some like to play 'catch the DJ out game' asking for the one off's and ultra hard to finds which when it's true if I owned the request I explain I sold x,y,z twenty years ago for six quid which normally works, if I have the tune and it fit's in to the spot then of course I will play it, I feel that most of the time at the venues I now DJ at from time to time I pretty much get left alone and do my own thing. The ones I really have a hard time with are the people who come up and ask for a tune and I reply sorry not got it with me (and I only say that if I happen to own the record) or sorry I don't have it...then you get the looks or comments like "call yourself a DJ?", "play something I know?"...... this is true what I'm gonna say next...I was booked to DJ at the Ritz in Manchester for Richard Searling I only did it about three or four times so it was always a joy to do, packed venue, fantastic atmosphere etc. I was stood by the DJ booth about ten minutes before I was due to go on and this chap came up to me totally off his face and asked me what time I was on? I told him in about ten minutes with that he said "can you play some stompers"? I said "like what" again he replied "you know...stompers...Wigan stompers" again I aked like what? "give me some titles"? with that he said "stuff like this" and proceeded to stamp his feet in front of me clapping and waving his arms about as a way to explian to me his translation of the term stomper...priceless! It's nice to be given space when DJ'ing and be able to do you own thing without being told how you should do it, read the floor and go for it...I played 'Lee Andrews And The Hearts' I think for my stomper friend at The Ritz that night and yes there he was 100mph on the dance floor so I guess I really knew what he meant....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Hello...Mark calling Phil!!!! my reply was a joke Phil reference your comment about being your theme tune...wake up lad where's your sense of humour gone?...lol I just had a feeling that it was pretty hard to find as I can't seem to find it in any of the books? Pretty good little record that would seem to not be that well known even though it was on a very early Goldmine CD way back. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Well Phil with that valuation no wonder nobody likes you...lol cheers mate. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Marvelows now sold - Thank you. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Just wondering the value of Willie White - Nobody Likes Me - Gold Soul - Crunching Detroit record that I can't ever remember being played anywhere? Any information would be most helpful bicknellmark@aol.com Regards - Mark Bicknell.

We all learn to love records and it is sometimes hard to part with them, I still think of things I sold years ago and wished I still had them but it's funny I think the only record I've ever replaced after selling my first copy was Johnny Rodgers - Make A Change - Amon, all the others I've done without or are so exspensive now I have had to lol if you want them again bad enough you will get them or find something else to fill the gap and ease the pain, so have a fag sit back and just think about the big smile you will have on your face when sexy 'Rita' arrives...good luck. Regards - Mark Bicknell. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Rocccia, if this helps you can possibly replace 'Charades', 'Tony Galla' and the records you have listed but the Dore 45 does not turn up that much...just calm down think it through and don't panic...lol gp with your heart my friend. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Roccia I so want you to get the record...fingers crossed mate. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Updated again - sorry. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Tunnnnnnnnnnnnnne. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

And very true of tunes we have all let go or pass through our hands over the years...if we knew then what we know now kind of thing...what's done is done, in the past so move on and have the odd cry now and agiain when you see something listed for two or three grand that you sold for pennies...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

That's scary stuff Ged, even with my little box of pressings I would have no problem in raising the funds for a new Ironing Board for Jacqui and maybe a week at the Seaside...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Spot on Mark, the times I've sold things in the past to then be told after the fact that "oh I would have given you more for that" as long as you cover how much you have invested in the record, current inflation/value of the tune and or a little kick back on top then as you say ....done deal...record collecting don't you just love it?? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I think it depends on how you view your own collection? sometimes I look and think I wish i still had x,y,z records or I wish I had that when I hear a tune played out somewhere by a DJ, it's nice to have a solid box of top tunes when DJ'ing and if it gives some DJ's/collectors as buzz that they have a quality well respected box of records then that's cool....I certainly play records for people to enjoy rather than for any adulation but that sometimes comes from others rather than the person playing them? Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I have alway's simply bought what l like if I have the funds and the means to do it and of course if the records are available...lol with prices the way they are now I think many of us swap, trade, sell and build our collections and play boxes in this way, I never judge a collection on value as quality of records has far more importance to me than the rarity aspect. I think you can get some pretty tasty records nice and cheap, it's when you are chasing the in-demanders and big ticket items where the fun starts, if I'm pushed I'll draw the line at £500.00 that's about top end but I've not done that in a few years to be honest as most of the really top wants of mine are so far out of my reach price wise, well I'm never gonna get them basically, so I tend to stick with what I have and tweek and adjust, add, swap, trade as I said and do it that way rather than breaking the bank all the time. What I have been doing of late is selling a couple of bits and bobs to put towards a few nice tunes for the play box which works for me. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

You certainly don't see too many 'Christine Cooper' Stock copies come up for sale, I sold a promo for £400.00 quid on Ebay a good few years ago now so I can't see this one not making the price...again good luck Roccia...you are on a quest mate I can see that. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

List updated 10th August 2007 - Some new additions. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
