Just bumping this for people who didn't see it yesterday

More like 76 - Nancy Wilson huge early 76, I remember hearing it 2 or 3 times on one saturday night, Shane Martin was at it's biggest in 77 to be honest

Current offer at 21.30 (may 25th) is £470. Took a photo on my iphone but it's crap, sorry, can't get it light enough

I spoke to them and got it checked, was legit - though I took all the money out just in case!

Someone's flogging DVD's of this show on the net, they look awesome but as we are not allowed to advertise this sort of thing I'll just say that ione of them has Buddy Lamp doing You've Got The Loving Touch so I'll see if I can source it.

PERCY STONE & THE EXPLOSIONS - CHAINED - RAM EX OFFS Books at 750 and five have sold for between 400 and 700 in the last 3 years - offers please, minimum offer 300. Vinyl is nice, label has a small bit of staining on the right hand side, just looks like a dark mark and you can still see the print through it. Will post photo soon as I get chance if anyone wants to see it.

What I mean is, he asked me to record it off Ebay because the seller had put a full sound clip up. Whether I did a carver off that I can't remember.

Kinnell were you smashed, it was only worth £20 then and it's only worth £75 now!

SPECIAL DELIVERY 6.00 PAYMENT BY CARD, BANK TRANSFER, PAYPAL (THERE'S A CHARGE FOR THIS SORRY), CHEQUE, CASH. THANKS FOR READING.

Platters has no centre which knocks 50 to 75% off the value. And it's only worth a tenner to start.

No he hasn't got it, he asked me to record it for him at the time though

That's interesting, I was speaking to someone about this and he thought John A had bought it off Ebay.

Found this on my old pc - as far as I can remember it was off a songwriters acetate and was unreleased, went for about 500 quid, I've cut the last third off so that whoever bought it doesn't get upset. File coming up below. (says I can't use refosoul for some reason so here is an mp3)

Sly & The Family Stone were considered part of that movement, as were the Chambers Brothers

And from the same show as the recent Elgins clip!

Lord forgive me, I forgot to add Roy Gelder to that list, I remember thinking I knew the lot about British and one day this package arrived with about 10 c90's, all of UK stuff and 50% of which I didn't know - sent by Roy totally off the cuff, didn't even know him then. What a kind thing to do. Ian Dewhirst - never met him either but his tales and knowledge leave me spellbound, ditto the great man himself Ian levine. I do like record men

Just to reiterate, these are NOT emails, I know how to deal with those, this is when I actually log in to paypal. As mentioned above, it wasbecause I had an IP hider switched on.

I've always looked up to and admired people who I can learn things from, so I'm talking about people like Roger Nicholls Dave Kilworth Tony Rounce Gene Robertson Mick Smith real 'record' people with amazing knowledge - these people are my 'top Northern Soul characters'. Oh and a posthumous mention must go to Dave McCadden who always made me laugh.

It's from the East Coast not the West Coast isn't it?

Have you got some kind of memory loss, 30 is the cheapest you've seen - do me a favour, I must have knocked half a dozen of these on my lists in the last 2 years for £10 each. They're everywhere, record fairs, the lot.

So what though? Someone else on here couldn't sell it for a fiver.

If they still have copies of this then it must mean that they pressed a thousand in the first place, you'd have thought 500 but for it to still be around in quantity after 15 years must mean they overdid it.

Mike I didn't mean to fuck your sale up, all I actually did was express surprise at the price.

If it's got the vocal on both sides and it's poor quality and slightly too fast - it's the 70's boot with a label stuck on it
