I'm with you on that one, never udnerstood why people would travel all that way to hear records that were already oldies when you had the big room and all the newies and top sounds. Just didn't get M's.

Still, we've all done it at some time - I still do it now!

I think it was on one of his lists for that price around 1985

BUt they all like the tailor made vocal to Double barrel, they think it's the greatest reggae record ever

So were most things

Harry, Sammy Davis Jr actually did a good version of But Not For Me which is a minor UK collectable

As much as I enjoyed Standing In The Shadows Of Motown, I thought it was a disgrace that there was no mention of one of the members of the Funk Brothers and also one of the greatest musicians of all time, Mike Terry - he was still alive at the time.

"Out on the floor". It's rubbish, trust me.

Swoz the Frank Lyndon you have for sale is a bootleg mate, not an original, there are no black DJ copies only white ones

I think the first time I saw this name was on The Pointer Sisters - Send Him Back. Of course, loads more since. RIP Wardell.

Yeah as said above, came out on blue Coxsone, only ever seen one, I got it out of Record Collector about 3 years ago and sold it on ebay for 500 quid - no idea why it should fetch such a price

AZIE LAWRENCE - PEMPELEM - BLUE BEAT Most indemand title on the label. Selling this under instruction from a mate No centre, few scuffs on vinyl but plays I would say almost mint, like a dream. OFFERS OVER £700 pete.smith@freeuk.com cheers

Dave is right, it's an unreleased Piccadilly recording by the UK based artist which came out on a Sequel CD in the 90's.

Junior Walker at Wigan 1977 - one of the few live acts I actually bothered watching to be honest, never liked them as they broke up the dancing! Martha Reeves at Wigan was good too, I posted a snippet of that up on here a few years back. Saw the Four Tops at the Gaumont in Wolverhampton in 1971, first concert I ever went to, they were great.

I did get the £40 I was asking for the Wheel book but I have Soul Harmony on there for weeks now at £50 and no sign of it selling, and mine's the only one

Can't see the Max image Swoz * found it

Died of cancer a few years back sadly

I would have thought that pressing 500 records specifically for the Northern Soul scene is a bit of a risk nowadays. I'm sure 200 would sell out, but 500?

Selling for a mate: TOBBIE BOWE - I CAN FEEL HIM SLIPPING AWAY - PATHEWAY the ultra-rare version of Mamie Lee, in excellent shape. Books at 800, just seen one sell for 700, asking 600 for this one cheers Pete pete.smith@freeuk.com

Yeah me too. All gone.

Earlier this year, Northern Soul Night, Wombourne Cricket Club, I'd played Silky Hargreaves, Ruby Winters, decent stuff, I got asked for Brainstorm - Loving is really my game, followed by Ghost in my house, followed by Nine times out of ten; I said I hadn't got any of them to which the girl replied - have you actually got any GOOD records?

Moldie, the answer to your question, this site that Mike found, but even then, I had to reduce the quality several times to get it up there https://vimeo.com/

both mobiles currently out of action, I'll see if I can get one working
