Cheers. I was aware of the Sam and Bill link (kind of why I was asking in part). John and Fred Tanner (brothers, or all one and same?) were apparently session musicians at the Greensboro NC sessions on "I'll Try" and the other Decca tracks along with Little Mac (aka Willy McDougal aka Billy Mack). Would love to know more about what Doug Tanner +/- John +/- Fred were / is all about.... Like the Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde angle, beginning to make sense. And Tanner and Coffman enterprises - who was Coffman?

This was a weird thing. I was writing the chapter on the Novas Nine for "It's Better to Cry", had just interviewed Brian Mann, one of the founder members and writer of "Pain" / "Why Listen". Next day I picked up a copy of this 45 on Heritage (rarely pops up unlike the ABC mixed version), which had a message to an old ex-girlfriend written on the label by Brian all those years ago...

Trying to find some 'proper' background to Doug Tanner on line, but struggling. Anybody got any decent links / info?

Soul Music which was run by Tony Cummings, Mick Brown and Dave McAleer: Does anybody have a copy of the first edition of this? I am desperately after the full article for Sam and Bill in this. Can anybody help at all? Cheers in advance Mark

Fame one for a tenner here ex. condition Mark

Steve Mancha (artist untitled) - Need to be needed - single sided 10" acetate. Plain typed label £70 o.n.o

Sold now cheers!

I agree Phil, proper bargain here, truth is I was collecting Volt at one point and ended up with a few doubles I was left with which are just lying around. They just need a good home!Kinda worh it for the alternative to Mr Mancha alone.

Quick Volt 45 job lot total bargain here....all vg+ or better, take the lot for £20. Pm me if interested Cheers, Mark. Did my baby call / You repair my heart Don't have to shop around / Tearmaker Make Room / So nice Come closer to me / Sugar sugar

I've got rhe 45, the vocal seems ok to me but there is a high pitch background noise in the mix, almost like feedback which doesn't seem so bad when played out

Any Frank Guida / Norfolk Va experts here? Always frustrated me this: I know the Rockmasters were Frank Guida's Norfolk Va outfit (and "Raining Teardrops" was penned by Guida and partner Joe Royster). I assume, but don't know for sure, that the session musicians who originally made up the Church Street Five played on this (I know who they were and have tried to track them down but most if not all have now passed away to ask), but any clues as to who the vocalists were? And as an aside the Rockmasters - Sapphires similarity in parts - any possible connection or just mere coincidence? Did Guida / Royster have any connection with Swan or credited individuals on "Who do you love"...

The Q - Thats the way - Hound £150 Awesome sound! Soulsource grading a very conservative Vg++ this is nice copy and plays faultlessly Scan below. Pm me if interested Thanks, Mark.

Sold now sorry folks!

Tricky on this I guess - for the styrene, would say vg++ no scratches, no scratches no hiss and plays without fault. For the label maybe a vg for WoL and sticker on flip. So vg+ overall?

Johnny Guitar Watson - Ain't gonna move - Jowat £120 SOLD Bit of WOL (see scan, also flip has sticker), but plays as excellent. PM me if interested. This is a true bargain! Scan below...

Kell Osbourne - Quicksand / Lonely Boy Song - Titanic (White promo copy) Excellent condition £350 Beautiful condition copy of this truly fantastic double sider. The Q - Thats the way - Hound. Excellent condition £150 Pm me if interested. Cheers, Mark.

Cheers for that, just what I was after....

Cheers Peter will try him...
