Dream on.......

The last spare one I had went for £100, though it was a few years ago. Must admit, have not seen one for a while....

...and if not, how many copies of Sam Dees would you consider as a fair trade Please let me know required quantity for M- copy and also for Ex copy....

Great tune, never heard it played at a Northern night...does it get spins on the Northern scene?

...or Little Milton 'Sometimey'......great old tune and cheap as chips

Heres more than a few R&B tunes that are good dancers and have had well received plays on the Northern Scene over here... Reatha Reese - Only lies Dorothy Williams - Watchdog / Wells gone dry Ted Taylor - Somebodies always trying Larry Davies - I've been hurt so many times Peppermint Harris - Wait until it happens to you Charlotta Tillman - Baby I'm serious Buddy Ace - True love money can't buy Junior Parker - Why do you make me cry Little Emmett Sutton - Mom, won't you teach me to monkey Sonny Til - Hey little woman Little John - I'm shakin' Carl Underwood - Ain't you lyin' Fred Bridges - Baby don't you weep Willie Mae Thornton - My man called me Newports - Dixie Women Pearl Woods - Don't tell it all Vonns - So many days Baby Washington - Let love go by Varetta Dillard - That's why I cry Chuck Wright - Palm of my hand Young Jessie - You were meant for me Cookie Jackson - Try love Big Daddy Rogers - I'm a big man Ernie Washington - Lonesome shack Clydie King & Mel Carter - Who do you love Beverly Ann Gibson - 3 dollar bill Gwen Davis - My man don't think I know Joe & Ann - Runnin' & foolin Lee Rogers - Troubles Leo Price - Hey now baby Some biggies, some cheapies, some more well known than others - but all quality tunes

It was indeed a great turnout from Niges family and friends, a tribute to just how popular Nige was. All the speeches were straight from the heart, as they should be, and Nige Brown proved that even on the most difficult of days, he could stand tall and give his best mate the send off he deserved. Well done mate, it is a task no-one wants to have to do, and few can do with dignity - you should be proud of yourself. He'll be cussing you for necking his cider mind...................

Think my Humdrum Blues is a Dutch E.P. Will have to check now...? Anyway, reckon you will pay more like £80 - £100 for it unless you get a bargain of ebay I offered Paul Hallam £50 for his back in the late 80s early 90s on many an occasion without success before getting me own copy. 'Tears on my face' should be about £40 - £50 but has been getting a bit of attention lately, so may be going up. Baz, have you heard 'Hear what I say' by Junior Lewis?

Noooooooo...you and that pesky Merv..

I've been infomed by a few people that Jo Ann Henderson is 1954. Gene-R post # 11 on the following thread backs that up. /index.php?showtopic=27755 Its a raucious screamin' version of the blues classic 'Baby, please don't go' which gained pop status when 'Them' recorded their version in the 60s. Big record on the Belgium popcorn scene that has gained massive popularity on the R&B and Mod scenes in the U.K. First recorded in 1935 according to the following link, but no mention of Jo Ann Henderson amongst the endless list of artists who have covered the track https://www.secondhandsongs.com/song/18415.html

Fair points Mike - but compare this record to a few other R&B 45s that have reached £300+, for example 5 Royales and Big Daddy Rogers. I believe Jo Ann Henderson is far rarer than either of these. Jo Ann Henderson is now gaining interest from collectors on the Northern Soul scene who have a liking for R&B so it is inevitable that the value of this item will increase. Not agreeing that it is worth £500, but I can see how such values are obtained. As always, the trick is get it while it's cheap (as well you know )

Jo Ann Henderson fetched around $800 on ebay last year, so not really surprised it has gone for over £500 on Johns auction. Wether I believe it's worth that myself is irrelevant, but take into account that it is scarce (1954 or thereabouts), plus it's highly desirable on the R&B scene, Mod scene and Popcorn scene, it is easy to understand why prices can go so high. Glad I only paid £50 for mine though Had a 78rpm of it once - got it from ebay for $2 and sold it for about £40. Never seen one since.......

RIP mate. Very sad day.....

Only just caught up with this thread..... My thoughts and prayers are with Nige, his family and friends...get well soon mate.

You'd still be surprised what T-Cut can get out mate if you know the best way to use it (ie - wash it off before it dries into that that powdery shite that clogs your grooves up even more ) Bout time someone invented a machine to cut back into the original grooves so worn/scratched copies could be 'renewed' so to speak...now how much would that baby be worth

Remember reading about your copy in another thread not long ago Baz. Can you not remove the label that is in the grooves so it plays better? Know it will make label look odd but surely better to have it playing correctly? I know I'll get abuse for this but T-Cut would probably work wonders

Got a white demo meself but have seen an orange issue (can't remember who had it though) Prefer the look of that foreign jobbie tho

On U.S W.B.(Warner Bros) £250+ though some may say a lot more. Some one recently had an avatar of it on a beauty of a foreign WB label (Argentina or Chile???). Regards Mace.

Would say the U.S. one only fetches about £20 nowadays. Worth more on U.K. Gene (probably £40 ish) Had a version by an artist called 'Falcon' on Crusade Records a few years back that was okay. If you like this tune check out 'Tender Love' by Tommy Jay on Hi. Regards Mace.

Serious question for you Kev. A few Stoke Soulies have asked me about the music policy for the VIP night at Kings Hall on August 12th. This is obviously on topic for this thread so worth asking on here. Will it be a Soul night as they are expecting, or will it come under the VIP banner of an Over 35s night with a varied selection of music genres to suit that age bracket? Regards Mace.

Flipside 'Comin' down' is a great tune

Sure this is the track Tot Johnson has spun out a few times....great tune if so

Not like you to complain about 'owt Joe. Do understand your point though, I have a feedback rating of 1003, which is 100% positive. However, I have over 1570 positive feedbacks, so over 30% of my transactions are from sellers I have bought from before (as one seller can only leave one feedback per buyer no matter how many transactions) As it goes, I normally snipe everything, or else I could be down on many an auction as a possible shill bidder... ...however, I wouldn't give a monkeys to be honest, cus if other possible buyers checking out goofbay are put off by the thought that I'm a shill bidder, it may put them off bidding and I might get it cheaper.... .. clouds and silver linings blah blah blah blah.....
