It'll never sell at 250 now. I ebayed one and it went for just over 100. I sold one on here for 125 and that only had one enquiry.

I didn't like his writing. Stop stalking me you f*cking weirdo.

You can keep your 'rare soul' scene, I'll stick with the 'northern soul' scene thanks. Would you like to tell well-known white singer Dean Parrish his records are not a patch on certain 10th rate black artists who can't sing too well but are more worthy because of their colour?

I think the London sleeve is wrong. I think it's an acetate for the Stateside release, as it's on an Emidisc and Decca/London had their own in-house acetate labels. Though the first Stateside demos mis-spelt the title as Open The Door Of Your Heart.

Dave Godin returns from the grave, God help us. It is NOT about celebrating the works of Black America. Do all records have to pass an authenticity test or something?

The earliest privately-cut Emi I ever saw were Bill Blacks Combo - Josephine b/w a Capitols track which I can't even remember the name of (but wasn't on a uk 45) and 6 By 6 - Earl Van Dyke

Superb - Teddy Randazzo by the sound of it

Rough quality but what a fantastic track! Download Video Youtube Link

He's having a lie down

Yeah I think I had one last year...sure I did...the "Chubby Checker" was actually Jimmy Radcliffe

First post re-written due to non-buyer

Just click where it says Youtube Link Ted (if its showing that on your display) p.s. you'll hate it

I found another version of this, this time he's singing live and the backing track is different - it's out of synch on the tape and looks like he's miming, but he's not - he only looks about 16! (this track now sound to me very Gene Pitney-ish) Download Video Youtube Link

Just noticed - she's supposed to sing "Give me a big strong line" and she actually sings "You'll be a big strong lion" bloody pot smokers

Remember this? Set to the tune of Major Lance's "The Matador"? This isn't the studio version but it's still nice...and to see it on video..amazing Download Video Youtube Link

Sounds great loud though mate. Might ask Mick Smith of he's got one of these for me. I like these 'dramatic' sounding tunes.

You'll either love it or hate it, this one's well known by UK collectors (on mercury) but if you can get past the skin tone of the singer, listen to that fabulous backing track...great stuff Download Video Youtube Link

I didn't get that at all!

Mark I understand your approach and I've always noticed how diplomatic and polite you are in your replies over the years. However, now and again, sometimes you just have stand up to people and tell them to f*ck off.

I've edited the list so that all of the sold and reserved items have been removed. Many people have reserved or asked about items, I've replied and heard nothing so all I can say is that if I don't hear from those people by midday tomorrow I'll sell them to the next person who asked. Fair enough?

Everyone, just got back in, there's about 20 orders off my mailing list and 15 from soul source so I'll do them in the exact order they arrived so it's all fair to everyone, give me 10 minutes ok
