Richie, I sold it at Shrewsbury, it's been in my box for months at £30, so as it was Christmas had a little sale, if you see another post about difference in price then this kind of backs up what I was saying. BIG IN SHREWSBURY couldn't give it away in NORTH WALES. Regards Mark Hello Mark, Just like to thank Mark & everybody else who replied to this thread. The "Is it true" side of this record is a current Greatstone play, but as Mark rightly says, its yet to reach any kind of potential in some areas. IMHO a great "Double header" thats sure to rise. Best regards Ritchie.

Can anybody out there, give an accurate value for Patty Stokes Good girl / Is it true on Mir-a-Don. I was told @ The Greatstone last Saturday that somebody picked one up for £20 in Chics Shrewsbury venue. Personally thought it was worth a 3 figure sum ? Any feedback appreciated. Regards Ritchie.

does this ever get played anywhere by anyone does anyone know? also, what's a value? never seems to come up for sale, though a site search reveals manship sold one for 700-odd quid a couple of years ago. given the prices some probably less-rare items fetch, what would it go for now if it came up? cia dan Hello Dan, I was the one who bought it @ auction from JM. It has always been one of my favourites, and IHMO is still to reach its full potential. Price wise i would say £850+. Regards Ritchie.

Ok here's mine : The Topics - Hey Girl B/W If love comes knockin' - Chadwick Regards Ritchie

Male - Roy Hamilton. Female - Ty Karim. Male & Female - Sylvester (not the cat the singer) Regards Ritchie.

There's two ways of looking @ this : As an "Atendee" at functions : I like the early spots because you tend to pick up on some good stuff thats new to you. As a DJ at functions : Sometimes it gets a bit disheartening, playing to an empty floor. Early spots IMHO should be 30 Mins duration Max,or double decked, both with a return later on the same evening of 30 mins or more. Regards Ritchie.

Anybody got a current value for the Bootleggers on Discovery. Regards Ritchie.

I AM SPATACUS!!! Regards, Dave https://www.hitsvillesoulclub.com/ No..............I'M Spartacus !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Regards Spartacus Andrew.

Hello Flanny, This is the post I've been waiting for. This posting confirms that the record on auction is not the same one on list 903. I did try to buy that one on list 903 early on but was unsucesssfull. If you bought your copy of Tim Asibendee, its my old one. I sold it to him in Burslem record fair S. O. T. in i think 1977. Regarding our friend JM i purposly put "posssibly" the same one. There was nothing untoward intended by this. Best Regards-Ritchie Andrew.

Here's two more Band of Angels-Invitation-Picadilly-(Mike D'abo on lead) Mark Loyd-When I'm gonna find her-Parlophone. Regards to all Ritchie.

Dear Soulfood33.... 100's of copies of Minnie Jones.........and the band played "beleive me if you like". But thanks for the comfirmation i was after, regarding Chico Lamarr from yourself & Pottsy. Regards to All Ritchie Andrew.

Chico Lamarr was also a popular record in the North Wales area in 1975 and was regularly spun, (along with the equally good B side How about you ) in North Wales soul club promotions by myself. I never regarded it then as a top rarity,and i still don't now. If its fetching £2000 now well "Thats inflation man" as our American cousins would say. Also on John Manships auction are two other popular North wales spins from 1975, Minnie Jones & The Fabulous Jades. If you go to JM's back sales list no 903 you'l find Minnie Jones listed @ £200 (excellent condition ) but upon phoning it had gone within minuites of him opening. Possibly the same record...............possibly. Back to Chico Lamarr though & the Penetrations version of how about you entitled Sweet sweet baby is equally as good, and that was issued on two labels Teri Di & Highland. Finally is Chico Lamarr really Len Jewel ? Regards to all, lRitchie Andrew.

Mike, may i suggest 5 more good "B" sides : The Gentlemen 4 - it wont hurt - Wand Billy Kennedy - sweet thing - Thelma The Topics - when love comes knocking - Chadwick Tom & Ron Emmanuel - when you loose your groove - Big three Plus one more....................TBC Regards Ritchie

Going down the pipe now Got a Douglas Banks in my jeans Aint no room for a Northern Soul cowboy in the students hall in Leeds (with apoligies to status quo)

Hello again Heres 5 more from last night Adams john-So in love-Silver Bull After an overly long repetitive start our man comes in with a stonking mid to up tempo tune. He shares his name with an ex president of the USA. I think that finding a copy of this record would be easier than finding the curret US President (after a crisis). Patty Stokes-Good girl/Is it true-Mir-a-don Is it true seems to be gaining in popularity, and rightly so Crossover perfection. Flip the record over for more superb female (and male) vocals. A crucial double header set to rise. Donna Frisco-the same things-Showtime one of Ian Levines "Rarest of the rare" reviewed in Togtherness magazine some time ago. After a false start this obscurity, from i think Detroit moves along @ a steady pace with strings a plenty in the backing, and fantastic vocals from Donna. Perhaps good potential for some spins ? Jerry Roberts-OK Girl-Karate Bobby darin co-written & set @ just over Beat balad speed this record has everything required to break "Big", except perhaps the possibility that it may be a little on the rare side. Let me know if youve got one ! Sheila Hearn-loves gotta start happening-Chartmaker Nashville midtempo from 1970, with one of the best US label designs I've ever seen & quality pressed by R C A. A stop start mid tempo mover that builds to a tremendous climax with an excellent sax acompaniment. Possibly rare ? Regards Ritchie.

Hello again, Thanks for the comments guys another 5 tomorrow. Although i was born in Maidstone Kent, i've lived in North wales long enough to qualify as a Welshman.........Ritchie

Here's 5 from last night Monroe taylor- Proud guy-Chesapeake Addictive mid tempo that never lets up. Cheap as chips & superb. puts some of the so called "biggies" to the sword. Argie & the Arketts-you'r the guy- Ronnie #1 Atmospheric from the drum intro in, and with some clever lyrics. This gem never lets up, value a-plenty @ around £50 (should be double) Karen Small-to get you back again-Venus Dont let the false start fool you, with backing by Don Julien & the Larks this LA midtempo track grows & grows on you. [Carlena Weaver-Jealousy-Audel On the same label as Hank "soul man Mullen" -he upset your dreams, this dancer is another winner. Price on this is rising & its a lot rarer than some people think. Kittie doswell-just a face in the crowd-HES Los Angeles crossover magic, not dissimilar to Celeste hardies-Your gone-Reynolds. A sleeping giant, waiting to explode in progressive places like the Greatstone & 14 Lloyd st, mid tempo @ its best. Regards Ritchie.

Hello Trevski, I had this in my sales box @ the last Greatstone, and I've still got it. Contact me off-site if your still interested..........Regards Ritchie.

The last time I saw this was about 6 months ago @ £300 on Pat Bradys list. The "B" side - If love comes a knockin' is certainly worth a play and IMHO is almost as good as the topside. If you see a copy @ £300 buy it............ as Williams & Watson said Two for the price of one!!!!!!!!!! Regards Ritchie.

Hello Chris................ I've got a nice issue available. Any offers to me @ richard.andrew@merloni.com.............regards Ritchie.

Anybody else after the Dave baby Greenlee on Steel city ? When Arctic Soul has sold his, I also have one for sale. Price & Condition on request. contact me on :- richard.andrew@merloni.com Regards Ritchie.

Some cracking stuff played @ 14 Lloyd St M/CR But record of the night for me was :- Little Samson Dont Take your love ELD. Regards Ritchie.
