They probably just avoid people who use the phrase "dig the scene" 40 years too late

The Jam version of Solid Bond is out-and-out Northern Soul, at least for the first half a minute.

You obviously never heard Keith Minshull dj

Aha! Your magical powers have failed!

PETE SMITH 28 JENKS ROAD WOMBOURNE WOLVERHAMPTON WV5 0BL 01902 893569 Pete.smith@freeuk.com Or petesmithrecords@hotmail.com (if you are a hotmail user) Hello, welcome to this weeks list, I'll apologise in advance to anyone ringing me up and me keep saying "pardon", I bought this ultra sonic alarm thing to stop my dogs barking and I forgot to mute it so it's left me temporarily hard of hearing! I take all cred ti cards, I also like cash, cheques are ok, paypal is acceptable but there's a charge for that. Please note, I no longer reserve records. They have to be paid for at the time of ordering (or if by cheque within 3 days). You all know the reasons for this so I won't go on about it again. Anyway here goes, all USA originals this week PEARLEAN GRAY - I DON'T WANT TO CRY - GREEN SEA DEMO EX 50 Rare white demo DONALD JENKINS - SOMEBODY HELP ME - CORTLAND DEMO EX 60 Mint except for small storage warp BARBARA LYNN - I'M A GOOD WOMAN - TRIBE VG+ 30 Bit scruffy looking but plays nice with a few clicks here and there JEWELS - WE GOT TOGETHERNESS - MGM DEMO EX 50 Casino classic! BIG MAYBELLE - LET ME GO - PORT VG+ 20 Big beat ballad - what a voice LUTHER INGRAM - EXUS TREK / IF IT'S ALL THE SAME TO YOU BABE - HIB VG+ 200 Visually VG plays at least VG++, this is the styrene Detroit original. If It's All The Same has slight background noise but I'm not selling it for that side. Anyone using this to DJ can't go wrong. JIMMY HART - TEA HOUSE IN CHINATOWN - MERCURY DEMO EX- 200 Has date on label in marker and a small name, nice copy though, and very very rare MARKETTS - A TOUCH OF VELVET - WARNER BROS DEMO EX 25 If you haven't heard this version, it blows Mood Mosaic out of the water, a right old stomper CHARADES - YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT - HARLEM HIT PARADE EX 50 Great group vocal LOVELLS - HERE VCOME THE HEARTACHES - BRENT DEMO EX 40 Old Casino spin for Alan Rhodes MARVELOWS - YOUR LITTLE SISTER - ABC DEMO VG+ 50 Plays better than the grade with just a few clicks here and there, very strong VG+ MARVELLOS - SOMETHING'S BURNING - LOMA EX 80 All time classic MR TEARS PARIS - DON'T LEAD ME ON - 4J VG+ 25 Plays better than it looks! BARBARA LYNN - TRYING TO LOVE TWO - ICHIBAN EX 70 Still in-demand JACKIE ROSS - KEEP YOUR CHIN UP - BRUNSWICK EX 50 Great lesser played oldie RAY CHARLES - I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR - ABC DEMO EX 40 DEE CLARK - THAT'S MY GIRL - CONSTELLATION EX 50 Rare West Coast demo JERRY JACKSON - IT'S ROUGH OUT THERE - PARKWAY DEMO EX- 250 This is the very rare West Coast styrene/jumbled letters design, only the second I've ever had METROS - SINCE I FOUND MY BABY - RCA ISSUE EX 175 Superb black stock copy INTENTIONS - DON'T FORGET THAT I LOVE YOU - PHILIPS DEMO EX 60 Brilliant Philly midtempo dancer HOWARD GUYTON - I WATCHED YOU SLOWLY SLIP AWAY - VERVE EX 200 A near mint issue - beautiful OTIS BLACKWELL - IT'S ALL OVER ME - EPIC DEMO EX 50 Great oldie REFLECTIONS - LIKE ADAM AND EVE - ABC DEMO EX 80 Another all time classic DOUG BANKS - I JUST KEPT ON DANCING - ARGO EX 100 It just keeps on going!

Don't post it on a public forum then if you don't want people to comment for f&cks sake

If your buyer did not pay for extra insurance then it is not your responsibility if they go missing. You didn't have to give him a refund. You didn't have to offer him credit even. Why should you? Thats all you needed to say really. People understand. What I don't understand is why anyone would buy a fair sum of moneys worth of records then get them sent by uninsured post.

I'm afraid that really the seller would be wise to answer to this, it's a very serious allegation and may put others off from dealing with him.

Elijah Rockin With Soul comes in like a hurricane then turns into a wet fart

When's he supposed to have gone to the Casino?

On the boot, the black is more of a dark brown, and the boot definitely misses off the AT in the run off

We were into Northern Soul, The Jam were a punk band, poles apart. Then I bought the first album, which wasn't great, the second, which was worse, the third and fourth were great though. I saw them at Wolvo Civic in 1980 and they were the best live band I ever saw, never seen one better since then either, the amount of power they got for a 3 piece was phenomenal. Never associated them with anything to do with northern soul though...

Original demo - 75-100 quid Original issue - 50 -75 quid Reissue on Atlantic 15 quid Reissue on Wright Sounds 10 quid beware of the Atlantic reissues being sold as originals!

Ah don't say that, I've got a mint demo I need to sell! p.s. Don Ray is fantastic

They start out so promising...but it's downhill from there...but this record has one of the best intros I've ever heard

I sold it on here last week for 75. Got knocked down from 80

That was a record that was supposed to be big when I first started going to Wigan, appeared in top 20's etc, but I never actually heard it til it came out on Kent Floorshakers! It's harmless enough...I think it's from a film of the same name.

Links not working... it is now... dunno though

Thanks Chalky. Shame it's the wrong way

ah those were the days...and what a memory you've got!

I've run out of expletives to describe the hideous Larry Houston I'm afraid. But I don't think I know what the Danny Hunt is.

I have to say - that is a pretty rare white demo - others may disagree but it's the first one I've seen. Another really nice and I think extremely hard to find white demo is E Rodney Jones - r & B Time, which by strange coincidence is on my list next week (or it was til I sold it earlier). Dead rare though...looks great too. A lot of records look better than they sound.

"Can you play anything that Jumpin' Joan plays!"

Ah but slight difference Del, most of the ones I've quoted, well at least 4 of them, are absolutely deited by collectors and dj's. Well ones with bad taste anyway. The ones you listed have always been sh*t. except for Put Me In Your Pocket which is quaint.

I had one last list, you ought to read the lists I put up!
