probably a nice guy. but why did he have to write his name across the record label in black felt tip!

my copy has a yellow "sample not for resale" stamped on the Lovers Chant side. Does this mean its an authentic demo? and would it make it more valuable?

Purist. im no computer expert but isnt it time you cleared out your spam?

i remember pete smith writing in beatin rhythim mag about worth every tear...... after some dealer quoted 3 figures." Yes its worth 3 figures £9.99"! think he went on to prove it by buying one for that price a few weeks later. however it was over 20 years ago. Wonder what happened to him

Thanks. That will be a No then.

What is the best way to "mark/ identify" a vinyl record without devaluing them. i know not to write your name and address in biro across the label. When you hear about thefts and burglaries involving expensive rare vinyl its a worry.has anyone heard of or tried "smartwater" which is what the police use to mark property,would this be suitable? Does anyone know of anything ?

Young gifted and black. the story of trojan records is a very good read and will answer a lot of your points.

the ojays other releases on neptune are also worth picking up for about the same price.

will look forward to that

brilliant documentary! its sad to think we will never see/hear the likes of them again. So many great songs. ive always loved the album they did with the dramatics especially "i wish it was me you loved".

did funky butter by the chosen few on british action ever get a release, its listed in all the price guides.?

darrell banks Angel Baby on red atlantic is so much louder/better than the reissue also on atlantic from the seventies.

i also love my british! especially the stuff that wasnt released elsewhere, talking of british have you seen the hoagey lands stateside issue on e bay. ill have to start saving

it came out on a double single with 4 other tracks in about 1980.this should be easy to aquire.

that beatin rhythm- Paddy Grady.great read and foreword by Ady Croasdell

Wasnt Dave Godin running the tamla motown appreciation society at the time and apparently advised Berry Gordy not to go ahead with the tour as he feared attendences would be low. Appears Godin was right.

what a great album stand out track for me "Home is where the hatred is" lyrics/vocal/instruments superb.For me better than Esther Phillips fantastic rendition.

cheap compared to what the Tempests was fetching on stardust a few months ago. Perhaps they know something we dont.........

i saw jimmy james last year he was brilliant. only disappointment was he didnt do A man like me or this heart of mine.

no ones mentioned any by The Armada Orchestra or Ultrafunk.........lots to choose from

theres a british release from about 10 yrs ago on thephilly groove label. ive seen plain white label copies that go for about a fiver. they should be easy to pick up.

elgins- a bargain

here i go again- archie bell and the drells.Top of the pops 1972!

mad lads for me. the other side is almost as good.
