I thought I'd hit the jackpot with the 45 but it turned out to be a counterfeit, still, never mind...I love the fact you can hear them bashing away on a washboard and you can hear someones feet clearly stamping to make percussion noises, damn if only I'd taped it

Tone the best record I ever posted up on here was J.B. & The Hawks "Combination Boogie" on Chance which I'm sure you know is as wild a piece of Chicago electric blues as you'll ever hear and the reaction was mainly positive though Mr Rimmer thought it was awful I remember...I still think it's one of the greatest things I've ever heard and I would love to post it up again except I loaned it out

With the first point, yes, with the second point, no - if there is no vinyl issue of Otis Redding then people are going to want one and do what it takes to get one. (Am just making a point here and not condoning it) Because that's the difference between cd and vinyl - you can't hold and look at a cd like you can with a record. I remember the first ever emidisc I got, Lou Pride and reggie Garner, the labels where white with the artist and title written on them, I used to sit and stare at it and even smell the bloody thing!

Rock & Roll - actually this is just a sneaky rewrite of Mystery Train LOOK OUT MABEL - g.l. crockett - checker 11667 refosoul

YOU'RE SO WONDERFUL - geraldine curry - london house 11666 refosoul

LOVE BOUND - the universals - festival 11665 refosoul testing times - improved features inc new uploader - post in site q's forum if probs... thanks Wait for the string section, it's really nice

TRAVELLIN' - sonny forest - verve 11664 refosoul

WITHOUT YOUR HEART - st. george & tana - kapp 11663 refosoul

Disregarding the rights and wrongs of all this - if a record that I want is bootlegged and I know I haven't got a chance of owning an original, I will buy it without question. Sorry.

Three quid

But again this comes down whether you want to deny the paying customers the chance to hear a great record! because 90% of them do not care what label it's on...

That would leave about 8 people on the northern scene!

Seriously, what should I ask for the LP, £25 sound fair?

1 - ST. GEORGE & TANA - WITHOUT MY HEART - KAPP Found mention of this with a pic sleeve in the price guide at £100 but don't have a sleeve with this one. It's produced by Huey meaux and I really like it which means you lot will hate it and say it's rubbish 2 - SONNY FOREST - TRAVELLIN' - VERVE A fast r & b ish type sound with girl backups, vocalist is not great though, just wondered if it were known really 3 - THE UNIVERSALS - LOVE BOUND - FESTIVAL Kind of doo-wop soul very much influenced by The Drifters, I'd say this was from about 1960 4 - GERALDINE CURRY & THE HEARTSTOPPERS - YOU'RE SO WONDERFUL - LONDON HOUSE I had this in my junk pile but it was on Soul Bowl's list for 200 this week, also on John Manships site for the same price, this copy is VG+ looking, plays way better, probably take 60 quid for it if anybody wants it 5 - G.L. CROCKETT - LOOK OUT MABEL - CHECKER DEMO This is more or less out and out rock & roll but it's fantastic - was just wondering about a price as John has a repro for £15 so wondered what an original DJ copy would be worth. Fantastic record...

Nothing to do with me by the way...

I can point you to a mint demo for £200. Last one I had went for £125 though. Horrible record, the worst sort of thing that Stafford threw up.

There's a George Smith issue on Craig Moerers site at set-sale price mate. Can't remember the price. Whatever it is, it's too much for that turd.

Also the nose is exactly the same shape and he has those pronounced lines on either side of his mouth coming down from the nose

This is a stunning mint demo of ERMA FRANKLIN - I GET THE SWEETEST FEELING / WHISPERS - BRUNSWICK 755430. Bargain - £75 to you squire, whoever you may be. 4 wheel drive car to support.

Was that on UK? Mojo or something?

Asking if I'd got any footage of his old man...don't think I have though. I never know what to say to these people. Joe Matthews grandson also wrote to me. Asked him if he'd got any copies of the Kool kat 45. never heard from him again.

Thanks chaps. Think it was $6 buy it now.

What link - it goes to an under construction home page and the you click reissue 45's but no link to anything???? Baz if you don't know where most of these come from you must be the only one who doesn't...

I wouldn't have thought so Sean. I usually get offered these when they come from a particular source and I didn't know about these til they turned up on Ebay.
