Blimey! So it did come out on Vick then. Not surprising I suppose. That must look tasty alongside YCMWLA. Still only Carl F with a copy? Or can anyone else on here boast one?

Never heard of HL&S coming out on Vick, only Mica.

(1) Price/value has nothing to do with any of this at all as far as I'm concerned - I couldn't care less whether a record costs £10 or £10,000 (2) None of this has anything to do with the legitimacy of the release - Motown Dave articulated the merits or otherwise of contemporaneous or near contemporaneous UK releases in one line above - and that is the key to authenticity; was the UK (or other country) release contemporaneous with the US release or was it prompted significantly later by exposure to the Northern scene? Former = OVO; latter = non-OVO

This is getting surreal now...................

Nonsense.

At the time, yes. Because there was not the digital/internet access to the sounds and carver swapping was just about the only way for DJs back then to get a newly-discovered sound out there beyond the one/two who did have an original. Different era, different priorities - records turned over much more quickly then too. Bootlegs/reissues for general resale had never been acceptable - as soon as a 45 was pressed/reissued back then, it was dropped by top DJs and venues like a dog turd.

Thanks for trying Brian!!

Still looking please folks...........

Impossible to read.

Earnest King - You Gonna Miss Me (LK) VG+ £80 Fantastic, funky uptempo growler, with a killer sax break. Few light scuffs and marks, no problems. Presume this is the same as King Ernest on Sonic?

Please PM if you have one of these lying around. Thanks.

The label is rife with superb funk and soulful offerings.

PM please - cheers.

Cheapest I've ever seen it.

Exactly.

It was Sebastian Williams on Ovide - "Get Your Point Over" that one of them had. Pretty sure your original posting didn't specify which Sebastian Williams and I just assumed the Ovide 45 as it is 'in demand', as they say. Good luck.

Not Wee3 please, only Wheelsville with "Love Of My Life" on the other side. PM if you have a decent copy at a decent price you are willing to let go. Thank you.

Try Steve Plumb (https://www.soulmusic.co.uk/) or Dean Anderton (https://www.midastouchsoul.co.uk/). Pretty sure one of them had a copy at the Dab Of Soul weekender just gone.

Hi All Was with Gary Samways at the Llandudno weekender. He has posted this evening on Facebook that he has got back home to Swindon and he has been burgled. His entire collection (about 3,000 records) built up over 35+ on the scene is the only thing that has been pinched; as such, he surmises that it must be someone who knows him, knows about his collection and has some idea what to do with it. He is still getting his head around all this. The Police have been there and apparently been as helpful as they can be. Needless to say, our thoughts are with the guy. Any ideas, info, etc gratefully received. Feel free to message me at this stage if you have any info about a collection being offered, sudden items coming up from someone who perhaps you would not expect (some rare items in there - Gary has never sold a thing in his 35+ years of collecting), or any whispers you might have heard. I will pass on to Gary. Or, if you know Gary (I am sure many on here do), feel free to contact him direct on here or via FB. Please keep it to hard facts and info rather than general tips and advice. Thanks.

Boom! Boom!!
