anybody else had this little gem tried on them yet,selling a few items on ebay at the moment,got the usual few enquiries what's the b-side,what's the condition,etc,etc,then I got one that just didn't quite look right,message went something like "Hi I've bid on one of your items whaty's the postage to this zip code ?,top and bottom of it is they want you to sign in password et all,new one on me Mick

tobi lark "sweep it out in the shed" almost identical backing,you should also check out the other O C Tolbert release "shooting high"on tyhe flip of little ann a great version of the pearls rarity Mick

Hi Mark,the actual quote was from her sister in the book,so guess she had nothing to gain by creating another myth,there is a mention of somebody she was engaged to in her last years,but no mention of who he was,her split with david ruffin is also mentioned,another source of rumour and counter rumour best Mick

spot on chalky,first copy off johnny manship for £25,sold that one ,second copy in a £40 trade,wasn't the first batch all water damaged labels? Mick

Hi Mark,been reading this book over christmas,it says the name terrell was given to her by berry gordy at the start of her motown career as it was thought to sound more show business like,good book,one of my better christmas presents Mick

me as well,LOL happy new year Mark Mick

one on craig moerers Mark @ $50 Mick

might be better trying at source,grapevine records,managed to get a demo off them a couple of weeks ago but they definitely aren't going to go ahead with the release so could to turn out to be a collectors item Mick

there was a bit of interest in this about three years ago,got a US demo off craig moerer at the time for $30,tired of it quite quickly,so in the sales box it went,much, much later finally sold it at the drunken monkey if memory serves for £30,then twelve months on the price trebles.............you know the rest Mick

ditto!!!!! Mick

spot on Pete,he does a great version on his rare wand LP "send my baby back" which also contains the great "tonight I'm gonna see my baby" Mick

one on ebay at the moment up to $420 Mick

sounds good to me Mark,will be in touch Mick

congratulations on five years mark,a landmark mate,proud to be part of the above role call,really enjoyed the couple of occasions you had me guesting for you,keep up the good work Mick

Hi Andy, I think your right probably a waste of time,sellers user name is bierney any one know him? Mick

item ended last night,this time at just over £79,wonder if this copy wil be broke,considered contacting the winning bidder,just to let him know,I think we've all listed stuff at low start price,there is the option to end the auction early if it doesn't attract enough interest,probably more horror stories out there than mine,can't believe he thought it would sail through un-noticed,any one know the channels to go through with ebay about this,or am I wasting my time Mick

won a copy of this off ebay in july for a bargain price just over £27,well pleased at the time,waited for the invoice which had two different addresses on so I email the seller to confirm where the money's to be sent to,three days go by no reply,then I get an email before I've sent the cash saying he'd pulled my record out and found it had a large crack in it "yeah right" so I informs him his seller details quote a no quibble return policy,so I asked him to send me the record and I could decide how badly damaged it was,needless to say just another corny email saying how sorry he was,it was no use to either of us,low and behold trawling ebay tonight there it was same seller,mind you he might have found another copy LOL,''kin steam coming out of my ears,UK seller by the way,hope the winning bidder has more joy than I did Mick

this late thing must be catching Derek,as requested my contribution on the day Linda Jones "you can't take it"warner bros(french EP) Toni +the showmen "try my love" ten star delegates of soul "I'll come running back" uplook stratoliners "what do you want with my love" federal mayberry movement "I think I'm in love" event mayberry movement "I see him makin' love to you" Kent enticers "calling for your love" cottillion Ike +Tina Turner "can't chance a break up" sue vince montana Jnr "that's what love does" philly sound works(totally wrong mix oops) sure Derek will edit my cock up out,won't you mate Mick

Baz am I imagining things or are you hi jacking every thread on here with a plug for the orwell,NO,couldn't possibly be Mick

Hi Chalky,sorry about that,like I said in the first post it was working when I tried it last week,but did go off intermittently(rebuffering)I believe is the technical term,did tell the guy's who host the show,anyway been promised a cd'r of the show ,in the capable? hands of Mr Pearson to up load on to the site Mick

really enjoyable time in east manchester at ALL FM yesterday,banter a plenty and a few good tunes,derek's picking up the cd of the show later this week leave all the technicalities of up loading on to the site to him and mike,should be in the sound section in the next few weeks Mick

A quick reminder for today Derek Pearson+Mick Howard guesting on ALL FM radio today 5pm-7pm,if you live in the manchester area frequency is 96.9 fm or try the web site www.allfm.org, link was working last week but seems a bit problematic today,as we did last time will look to up load on to the site in the next few weeks Mick

bought mine originally for £30 off john powney early nineties,after watching it clear dancefloors with monotonous regularity sold it about seven years ago for £250 good money at the time,probably too cheap in hindsight,still get a pang of regret the odd time I hear it out Mick
