Yes it's fantastic - wish it was a tiny bit faster though...if I didn't know who it was I'd have said Bobby Bland.

Rob if I had anything you could have it but all my photos were lost in a house move in 1991. I am also still in complete shock after seeing that Top Of The Pops footage of Footsee. I never thought I would ever see that again. I was saying to Eddie that I think it may have come from a BBC 3 documentary where they show just a small amount of footage and someone managed to record it. To all intents and purposes, it was lost.

Some records described as 'rare' just make me laugh. Jack Montgomery on Scepter, Garland Green on Revue, that sort of thing - theres a copy on ebay every day...should be £20 each!

Woah there! At least 3 of us expressed our amazement voiceiferously (sp.)

I got £3 taken off me inside the casino at knifepoint - was my money for the 4th anniversary ticket, happened in the corridor. 100% true.

I know they have every right to but I hate sellers who won't mark items as a gift, this record below is going to go well over $1000 and they categorically state they won't mark it as a gift - why, what harm would it do them, are the tax people spending every day on ebay checking what records sell and for how much? And then intercepting packets to see if the correct value has been put on? https://cgi.ebay.com/TY-KARIM-Northern-Soul-on-SENATOR-7-Listen-RARE-Hear_W0QQitemZ320481156883QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item4a9e2a5f13

All the dancers are named in Neil Rushton's new book, haven't got it to hand I'm afraid, I think there's 4 from Wolvo/Dudley, the rest from up North

Wasn't sure whether to start on the US ones again (apart from the WB one) - I have got Rubber Band - I've not got Free festival, might be interested in that - I don't think there is a stock of All The Madmen is there? Bizarre track to put out on a 45 and janine isn't on any 45 in the world as far as I know. I personally don't like MWSTW era - I absolutely love everything before it though, especially the Philips LP, MWSTW is proto-heavy metal in places.

Bloody hell, now you ask me, I bought one 3 weeks back (it's my avatar picture) It was a bargain though...about $66 I think

Appreciate that mate but need the originals, I have the reissues (I have Can't help Thinking About Me on UK Pye, Spanish Pye and US Warner Bros. originals)

Might be on a stereo mix but not on the original mono 45

Anyone...doubt it but worth a go...having once had all of these but had to let them go, I'm going to try and get them again. Need the following and can buy or trade for northern or ska.

I've just seen who the seller is. Sorry! Didn't realise...

Silly prices compared to what? The one on Gemm is over £150, that sounds silly to me to be honest. Secondly, you might wait a long long time for a mint one. I've got a demo but it's nowhere near mint unfortunately, great record though.

Johnny Wyatt suddenly went up from £30 to £100. I rate it about £70. Solomon King around £100 maybe a little more.

Too many to list mate. Most numbers after wi 200. Most of the 3000 series, put it this way, I've only got about 50 left out of a collection of 200+ that I used to have.

Dave why don't you come to the charity do at the MEB club Chapel Ash on saturday night, I'll be there, well not for too long as my parents are babysitting, but for a couple of hours anyway. See you at the fair if not. Bear in mind the record fair is not this saturday but the saturday after!

Even I am not stupid enough to break a perfectly good record just because I think it's a pile of old toss! When I got it, it wasn't broken but it sounded like it had been played with a nail and hissed so bad that you couldn't hear the music, so it was going in the bin anyway!

Didn't know Taffy but RIP and condolences to the family.

I don't do any of those things to records Ian, not on purpose anyway, if I can find one, or if I've got one, it's yours.

I can't argue with you about that. I just think he may be a better songwriter than a singer. Like Jimmy Webb.
