Just a final bump for this -
Just a reminder on here we are holding a "Bring a box" record fair saturday afternoon at the Bridlington Weekender. Box Tax of £5 per box straight in to the collection bucket for the charity. A chance to clear out some unwanted items and raise money for a good cause. Any size box ok during the saturday afternoon session Please note due to numbers attending this weekend (2,000) we only allow 50 or 100 boxes to be carried in that you can carry arround with you during the other sessions. ALL TABLES AND STALLS ARE FULLY BOOKED. See you there ECSCSC

Still stands out as a great album after all these years ! Rob

The scene will always be "There", its in your heart, your mind and your SOUL. As long as there are two people left who are into it you'll have a "scene" Its about the music, it flows through your viens like a life blood, it pulls you from pillow to post, it stops conversations dead in their tracks. However, there are other things equally or more enjoyable in life, travel-exotic new places with records shops and second hand markets, driving vintage cars,along country lanes with the top down , wind rushing through your hair, past small carboot sales with people selling-up their collections of records, eating out in resturants and having one ear on the music in the back gound, hearing a Northern track and wondering which one of the 20 year olds waiting on the tables did the CD! As the song says "Soething keeps calling me back"-We never left Rob & Karen

I'll stick to the Beach Boys stuff-reminds me of "Oh Carol" Rob

The short sleve guy ate all his stash as the squad arrived ! He looks like a young Freddie Mercury--I am still waitng for him to do a "Backdrop" In the middle of the clip, just in shot on left of the picture-Isn't that Rotherhams Bob Steer ? Rob

There was a long thread on this about a year ago-still be good to get Kebs thoughts on it now Rob & karen

There seem to be plenty of Albums for sale, but 45s pre 1985 were VERY hard to find outside of the normal outlets or collectors/specialist shops. i didn't event see any record boxes for sale this time !
-
Hi Boba your version of "The antiques Roadshow" is also to blame, I watched an old programme on cable that showed a guy with a small record box with about 40 45s that was valued at over $1,000, I couldn't see anything special, but the "Expert" kept prattling on about collectors items ! Rob

Mmmm interesting thread Just arrived back yesterday from a trip to the USA, which was very short notice to look up some acts, go to a wedding and have a "little" look for some sounds. Now in the space of 18 months I've noticed something serious going on, I've been going to the USA for 30 years- always found stuff (as I did this time)-but Ive always also bought "Odd ball" labels blind- in 4 days of solid hunting through plenty of records (50,000 45s plus) I haven't bought 1 local label record-60s or 70s. Now this suggest to me that record "Hunters" are buying up local stuff-as with the advent of "Funky" items now becoming "Big ticket" items as well they can't really miss out, buy them 25 cents to $3 dollar, either check Johns book or stick em on E-bay and Bobs your uncle! If its rare or in demand it sells! I also had a look through 1,000 items priced via Johns book £20, £30 £50 etc, the dealer takes $3-$5 average on them due to the fact he cant sell them ! Most stuff is at nighters for £5 to £10 max. Which may suggest the book is "Over-priced" on common stuff. Ive bought about 150 45s and spent $350 what did I pay ? most expensive was $20, cheapest 20 cents, loads to sell on to make my $350 back, a couple of "nice" items for the collection plus a load of US Motown demos- Tons of enjoyment, a couple of "Heart stoppers" (Bobby McClure on Sedrick as i split a pile it was the top record and I only saw the Sedrick !) and I just love finding them. A couple of great albums for a buck each as well. All I kept thinking is "What did we leave when i was with tats in the 80s and 90s" Condition is also another factor, anything MINT will be snapprd up regardless of genre if its cheap enough Ive probably got £3,000 to £5,000 worth of records for just over £200 so worth the effort. Best thing I saw but wasn't for sale (yet) YUM YUMs ISSUE ABC-so they are still out there ! Rob

Cheers Chalky -thought that was it--anybody want to buy one !!! Rob

I am after the sound clip Chalky-the link won't work
-
saw this thread and after a sound clip--link no longer works-help please ! turned up a serious rarity this week; Jesse Davis "Theres room for me" on Jaboth 001, NOT Revere or Paramount labels! So its official, there are 3 60's pressings. I think this could be the true first pressing (Dr Michael Dean owned Revere, and the Paramount label looks similar), it makes no sense for it to be repressed after a bankrolled celeberty financed it.. Record is Vg++/M-, but has playable crack (damn). But as far as I can tell, its undocumented. Trail off has the "AS" in circle, triangle64531 bn j-d1-45 (crossed out) JD-1. Any feedback?

I forgot to say a BIG THANK YOU to all those who have already taken out ad space ! It really helps a good cause ECSCSC

Wakey wakey Just a shout as I am on with putting the finishing touches to the weekender programme. Still a couple of ads I am waiting for and there is a small amount of space available for anyone who wants to advertise their Soul Nights / Record lists / shop or business. This mag will be larger than last year and ads will cover print costs-all extra revenue after costs goes to the Bluebell Wood charity at the event. www.bluebellwood.org This mag is A4 sized and FULL COLOUR PM me for ad rates-which start at just £50. Thanks Rob

A worthy cause kev--its true but what does he write his articles on ?? PARCHMENT with Quill and Ink sent direct by stagecoach to Mike Ritson Rob
-
Ok kev thanks for adding Sams article, can you add your own to which he replied please so we can have a read cheers Rob sam.doc
-
Hi Kev I think what you need to do is sit down and write a reply to Manifesto out lining your views and where you are coming from as a promoter on your event. Keep it short and sweet, but as like Johnny I have not seen Sams article yet, you need to answer him in a constuctive way. Its a bit rich if he has had a go at you and not even set foot in your club ! It appears you have a clear music policy-so thats what you do-good on you for staying with what you want to do Its your venue, you book the DJs and people know what to expect. As I say contact Manifesto under "Right to reply" Rob
