Ever Had Someone Refuse To Sell You 45's?
I was at a Record Show in Toronto yesterday. This is a good show as it is all Reggae/Soul/DJ stuff and lots of young collectors/sellers looking for breaks etc. I always pick up nice Soul stuff and usually at $2 a pop. I recognised one of the dealers as someone I had bumped into at a local flea market a year or so ago and he had given me his number and said to call him. He lives at least a 3 hour drive away and shortly after I lost my job and ended up being out of work for 15 months. Anyhoo, back to the show. He had a 500 flight case behind his stall and after the mad rush to see his albums had died down I went and asked if I could look through. He said "NO" I stood back a bit and said "Why?" His answer - "I gave you my number and you never called me so I am not going to let you look at my 45's" I explained the out of work thing which was confirmed by the seller next to him as he had offered me a load of 45's during this time as well. "I dont care" said Numbnuts "He is not looking"

Sound Of The Weekend
As I live in the soul-less desert that is Canada can I offer things I pick up at Record Shows? This weekend I got Walter and Sisters - How Long - Studio 10. I have to be honest I had no idea what it was and just bought it as it was cheap and looked interesting!!! Was presently surprised when I played it and even more so when I looked it up on Popsike/Kop's book.

Yugoslavia And Motown
My missus is also of Yugoslavian descent and I have been here 4 or 5 times and have never seen any Soul stuff. I did find some New Wave stuff and a market stall that was packed with Jazz albums. We are planning a trip for next year so I might get lucky this time.

Soul Acts We Underrate
I would just like to add my support for the Stylistics as well. I saw them in Gloucester late '70s? supported by Candi Staton and they were absolutely terrific. Sweet Soul at it's very best.

I have a 45 on Wally that came in a Brown sleeve and has the Detroit distributors address on. I will dig it out for the address but am camera less at the moment.

Detroit Sleeves?
I totally agree Kev, it was just a thought.
-
Detroit Sleeves?
I think the only Detroit one I have seen is Dearborn. I have often wondered whether there would be any profit for some one like John Manship etc to design and produce "fantasy sleeves" as they call them in North America
