Sorted, many thanks.

maybe here.. /index.php?showtopic=44708

Being the man who organized this in 1990 I must say you are right in some aspect..it really was not too succesfull...but not really a "flop"..I had 300 in on friday and about 250 in on saturday...not bad for the very first internional German Soulweekender BUT The hall was buzild to hold up to 2000 people On the other hand back in the days we organized monthly allnighters (again with Gary Spencer, carl fortnum and Jon Buck being amongst our Guest DJ`s) which had 1000 people in. This was Berlin 1987 to 1990/1.... And yes I still do the Hip City on a regular basis with the best international Rare Soul DJ`s one can imagine...next one will be in may 5th with Martin Walgenbach and Oguzahn Celik and the big 17th anniversary party with Butch on July 14th...feel free to check my myspace...

firm Hip City fave...I am sure Franz did play it out when you were there (as I am not allowed to play it )

How about a quick swap then John ? Sorry, couldn´t resist...obviously only joking. Hope you received my Email last night well

Hi Richie, its´defo not from Detroit (and the Parliamenst are not THE Parliaments) I`ll text ypou the origin of the label later tonight (...as I have to check at home). All fine in Aberdeen mate ? Marc

Oh, what a great 45..his best IMHO and one of the harder ones on MT. A current firm Berlin favourite

I am sure you wouldn`t if you would knew what the owner of said record wanted to have for his 45 actually...way more than 2680..

Many thanks Bjorn, good luck for the winner(s) I was having a work date not permitting me to bid further more

Can any friendly Soul please tell me what these two finally went for tonight ? TIA, Marc

HI Richie, I will...although I am afraid he won`t have many use for this message as it was the two of us discussing this...Hahaha...Ellipsis...YES ... !

I have an original Jobete acetate of this by Brenda and must say that this version really has sth. Sadly condition ain`t too good on my original acetate so I won`t be able to play it out. Re Eric Mercury...last one on ebay went for slightly over 3000 USD. Great 45. Where is my copy

I seem to remember they were from NOLA and moved to California as so many other artists (on Pzazz) as well. Most of them were somehow related withthe AFO group of labels and the whole Dover group after their demise. Marc

I once had nect to "HRTH" another Quaint 45 by Otis Lee (blue label). Think it resides with Andy Dyson now. If that is the tune you are on about it is a decent ballad (both siedes) but nth to get over excited about. Marc

Steve Z

...shameless bump

Many thanks for thinking of me there Dave, but it ain`t work at all and really can`t ever be too much can it ? Noooooooooo Simon Thompson and Ali and John do also spring to my mind when thinking of good and forward thinking DJ`s.

...they are nearly with Billy Bland (EX+) at 35 UKP and Gene & Eunice (M-) at 50 UKP. First come first served, paypal only, many thanks Marc

What a great singer he was...in fact I do like his Deep Soul outings even more. Did you know he died a year later of heart attack ? While listenening an watching you can understand why. Marc

Hi Pete, as I am a very moody person and change my mind like the weather (nah, not really..) I would need an answer to my pm soon...it may be that I don`t want to sell tomorrow what I offered yesterday

Used to be a 100 UKP 45 but wouldn`t be too surprised if its now way more...possibly at 200 UKP. Marc

Last Chi-Lites was JM`s auction 255 UKP (WD). Try Andy Dyson, I am sure he has one at the moment... Marc
