Richard Pack in Ontario has one 'cause he offered it to me not long ago.

Russ/Dave I am making the trip to the week-ender as well so hope to swap stories then as well over a beer. Kevin

I have been in Canada for 7 years now and have had mixed luck in Thrift Stores, Flea Markets etc. but my best scores have been through getting to know the local dealers who sell at the fairs and it is amazing what can turn up but over all the purchases against hours spent searching dont really make it worth while. I get a call now and again to look through their new stuff and last time out scored a load of Canadian Warner Bros including Ben Aiken - Satisfied for $1C each I do find lots of cheapies that sell OK on ebay, multiple copies of stuff like Winstons, Mel Torme, Little Carl Carlton, Flirtations, Ronnie Love etc etc but rareties are a different matter. I have turned up things now and again like Anne Heywood, Linda Lloyd on Canadian Columbia, 2 copies of Doug Banks, 3 copies of Mickie Champion, The Dynells on Atco and all for no more than $2 each. I have expanded my record buying to Garage 45's which seem to sell well and generates more cash to buy Soul 45's. Keep trying Russ, I am sure that big score is out there some where.

How much would a copy of this album on Nola be? Just found a nice stash of albums but guy wants an offer

Shipping to Canada and Paypal details please Kevin

This clip is from a documentary called Vinyl which apparently has just been released in the States on DVD. I have seen it on TV in Canada a couple of times and there are some wierd fcukers in it, I watched it the 2nd time and I caught my wife looking worried that I might be going that way!! The guy who made is a bit strange as well I will try and get release details

From a personal perspective I would plump for Adey Pountain at Yate and Stafford. He always played a good soulful, rare and just darned good set.

I am sure there used to be one in every Soul Bowl Soul Pack mid to late 70's.

Just added 70 odd Motown 45's to this list, mostly Canadian issues and, once again, mostly $4 each Kevin

I have a copy but without the cover so if anyone has a spare let me know Thanks Kevin

Baz I dont know you and you dont know me but how can you accuse someone of taking the moral ground when you have just admiited in print your lack of morals??? Astounding hypocrisy.

I wasnt having a dig at anybody, however baz did admit to doing it, my question was purely generic. Why take a gamble on ebay when you can do better elsewhere?

I have to agree, shill-bidding is wrong and as has been said before, against e-bay policy. It is quite dis-heartening to actually read somebody admit to doing it, especially on here. Why would you sell something on ebay for 50 quid if you could get more at a venue? Records should start at what you need to cover you costs or set a minimum, simple as that.

Tamiko Jones - Spellbound - Promo Bought from some muppet who thought it was OK to mail it in a record mailer but without any "stiffeners" Still got it and it makes my blood boil every time I look at it.

At a record show in Toronto at the weekend and picked up the From The Vaults album but on the US Natural Resources label. I always thought this was a UK album released to cash in on the Nothern/Motown scene? Any idea of a value? Also picked up Billy Eckstine - I Wonder Why on Canadian Tamla - value?

I have a list of approx 340 soul 45's covering all styles - Northern/R&B/Mainstream/Funk/Deep - nothing rare, just bits and pieces I have lying around. They are $4US each, yes, only $4 each, so email me at knew@branttel.com if you want to see a list. I also have a list of approx 230 albums as well, although this is not priced, so let me know if you would like to see that as well. Kevin

Thanks Steve Whats it like? Got one on hold but hadnt heard of it.

Any one have any info on a 45 by Leola Jiles - Keep It Coming/Why Was I Born - Warner Bros promo copy. I know she was a member of The Apollas but cant find any current pricing for this 45, any help?

I totally disagree with the comments on " Aint No Mountain High Enough ". In the last few months I have sold 3 of these on Canadian Tamla Motown, last one went for $31US Keep playing it!!

I believe I have both the Tamla 45's you are looking for but on Canadian Tamla - yellow label. Let me know if you are interested and I will dig them out.

Pete French (moths in wallet) used to set up full equipment and we had northern nites at the Elm Tree Youth Club, probably 76' - 78'. Also used to do "away" trips to Tewkesbury Youth Club to their Northern nites. Big at the time would have been what ever was big at Wigan.

It was "massive" at The Elm Tree Youth Club, Bishops Cleeve!!

Either way, it doesnt look as nice as the Globes label does it?

Just picked up this album last week, Buddy has a huge Afro on the cover, sat behind a drum set. Was the title track - Them Changes - ever played? It is absolutely brilliant, album comes from 1970? Did it come out on a 45?

I have a Smile company sleeve here if the buyer wants it. I was keeping it for the day I picked up a Norris 45!!!!!!
