To be honest, I find it a little bit sad that a major dealer is reduced to this sort of cheap publicity.

Jully Black has done a cracking version of Seven Day Fool, she is from Toronto.

Not Junk shops exactly but in the 8 years I have been in Canada I have found the following from Circle M - a flea market about 3 miles from home: 2 copies of Doug Banks - Kept On Dancing - 50c each 3, yes 3 copies of Mickie Champion - $1 each Ray and Dave - Wrong Wrong Wrong - Mica - $1 add to this lots of Northern classics, Reggae, Motown 45's in the 10 - 50 - quid bracket and some pretty rare Garage and Psych stuff as well. It has dropped off recently as there has been an upswing in the amount of people I see there buying and looking for vinyl. Just recently I picked up 65 UK Reggae 45's from 69-71 for $120, I sold the first couple and made $160 for them.

I am finally getting around to listing some cheapies I need to clear out. At the moment I am up to letter K and list is at 192 items. Nothing over $10US with most being $5. Lots of Northern cheapies plus another short list of Motown items, again most at $5. Pm me your email address if you want to see the list or email me at kevinnew (at) cogeco (dot) ca Kevin

I tried at least 3 times to register for this site with nothing ever coming of it, then tried again and got a confirmation back in 24 hours? Keep at it.

My mum works in the Sue Ryder Cancer shop in Winchcombe, Gloucs and they have someone who looks at all the records that come in first. I used to get first dibs on UK pop/R&R stuff but not anymore. I gave her a list of labels, Stateside, Tamla Motown, London, Oriole, Columbia, etc etc plus "anything with a big hole in the middle" and she used to call me if anything came in!!

Neil Before I pay can you confirm shipping is free to Canada as well? Can you give me a total for the Precisions Ep and Pearl Jones if there is a shipping charge Kevin

See if you can find Jully Black's version of Etta's Seven Day Fool, I nearly spilt me Special K when the video came on local cable news channel. She is a young lass from Toronto. I was dispatched by the wife to buy the CD but - Oh Dear!!!

I think Steve's article was regarding Canadian only release but Basic, Black and Pearl did get a mention. I have a spare copy of There'll Come a Day if someone wants to PM me with an offer. Kevin

I have talked to a couple of guys locally who have almost complete runs of Sparton, Quality, Reo etc and they havent seen/got one. I sold a battered test press last year.

I have just used it a couple of times - 11:00 here in Canada - and had no problem. What to they class as a frequent user?

Dave I havent seen a coloured Curtom from this period, they all seem to be white label and none of them mention promo etc. Mind you I havent actually come across a copy of this in 8 years yet, but have had copious amounts of other Impressions stuff on the white label.

Bettye Lavette - last year as support for Buddy Guy, not very good at all, and we left as Buddy got stuck into about a 30 minute Jam as he wandered around the venue, unfortunatley this was only his second song. Etta James - last year, I understand she has been ill and all that but for the money I was a bit disappointed. Chairmen Of The Board - Glos Leisure Centre - sometime late 70's - God they were abysmall. Surely they have enough material not to have to do an extended Love Train? George Benson - Wembley Arena? - 79/80? - so far at the back I could just see his guitar glinting in the light!! But the worst ever was Tina Turner, again in Gloucester, wife had a niece staying with us as she was going to English school and wanted to go and see her, so off we go. Only time I have ever asked for my money back at a concert.

Believe it or not, one of the best shows I have ever seen was The Stylistics, supported by Candi Satton at Glos Leisure Centre many years ago. They were slick, professional and sounded bloody great. Also saw Bobby Bland about 3 years in the Silver Dollar Room in Toronto, he did 2 shows, 8:00 and 10:00 and to be honest when he shuffled on stage in a Purple Velour Shell Suit I wondered what was going to happen but he was f*#king brilliant. He did a superb version of Bill Withers - Lovely Day as a encore and it was truly superb.

I scared off one of Edwin Starr's backing band at Gloucester Leisure Centre coz he was chatting the wife up, does that count?

Should only be $15/16 for an album from Canada for Air Shipping.

Plus these: Bob Francis - There Goes My Baby - Atlantic - 10 The Tymes - The Love Youre Looking For - s/b sides Columbia promo - 20

Have a few to clear out, all prices in pounds and include shipping from Canada. All in Ex+ at least unless stated. Our Brothers Keeper - You Been A Long Time Coming - s/b sides Columbia promo - 20 Roxetta Johnson - Mine Was Real - Clintone - 20 Barrett Strong - Surrender - Capitol - 20 Andrea Davis - You Gave Me Soul - Chess - 15 - writing on label Mary Wheeler - Prove It - Calla promo - 20 Bobby Womack - Trust Your Heart - Columbia - 10 Evie Sands - Billy Sunshine - Cameo - 10 The Thrills - Bring It On Home - Capitol - 20 Ronnie Dyson - Lady In Red - Jamaican Columbia - vg+ on this one but plays without hardly any noise. Full refund if unhappy obviously - 10

Sorted out a copy of this and John's Bootleg Guide says original has a raised 11 and boot doesnt. He doesnt mention a raised R which my White promo seems to have? Still a boot? Kevin

Someone was looking for this in Wants section yesterday

Where does the Canadian issue fit in with these?

Definately booted, a couple of guys in Toronto have been selling them on ebay for a while, along with the Dean Barlow. I asked one of them where he got them from at a Record Show but surprisingly he wouldnt tell me!!

Also appears on a nice 10" album - Fab-U-Lus Northern Soul https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SOUL---Fab-U-Lus-Nor...4QQcmdZViewItem

Hey Drew As I said, I am sure I saw this on a TV show around the time he first visited, I think it was something like the thing Jools Hoollland used to do. Contact Voices, they may have a copy. I had it on a VHS but that is long gone now I am afraid

Absolutely superb. I am sure I remember seeing this on TV at the time that he came over for his first Thorne appearance?
