Indeed it is, and thank goodness for that. No offence intended.

I must agree with that Jades 45. Bloody bad record that is. I wouldn’t give 5p never mind £5k.

Manship auction results 20/03
I think there’s a definite drop in prices on certain items, but others are mind blowing! Very strange.

Butch
Well that’s what I would do if I had any good acetates. But here’s another thing. What’s to say that the people that are transferring your one off acetate to vinyl, aren’t making a copy for themselves??? I know for a fact that this goes on.

MELLO SOULS - YAWN!!!!
Great post from Tim there. Always thoughtful and well written. My own personal experience of this record, comes from much later in time. I’m not certain whether it was the very first Lifeline all-nighter or the second one? Anyway, some friends of mine were constantly regaling me on the quality cover ups that Butch used to play back in the day. And one in particular, was his old Del-larks cover up. Well, I had been dying to hear this record, and all the other unknown to me sounds that Mr. Dobson had at his disposal. So it was with this in mind that I drove out to Dewsbury and the first ever Lifeline at Sherringhams. The place was rammed, and Butch did his usual 90 minute spot, which I recorded on a small cassette recorder. During that time, I approached Mark and asked if he could possibly play the Del-larks as I had never heard it? He replied that he couldn’t because he hadn’t brought it with him. But he promised to bring it next month, and would play it for me. Only slightly disappointed, his set was incredible, I went away and thought no more about it. Roll on to the following month, I was dancing away to Butch’s spot, when he suddenly announced over the mic. This one for Phil. Boom! The place went mental. I’ve never seen a reaction like it. Needless to say, I loved it. After that reaction at Lifeline, everywhere I went to see Butch, he opened with the Mello Souls. I can clearly remember the first CIS all-nighter in Manchester. We all trooped downstairs to another room that had a temporary dance floor, as Butch was playing in there. He opened with the Mello Souls again, and the reaction was even greater than before. I’ve still to this day never seen such a reaction as people rushed it seemed from every direction to get on the dance floor. I must agree with Tim though. This type of record, and there are many, don’t sound like anything when played at home. These aren’t listening tunes, they are made for throwing yourself around to. Absolute dynamite for me at the time.

Unknown Record Mel Williams ?
It was played at Burnley by myself and Cliff Camfield. Great record, very silly lyrics though. I can’t remember who I sold it to now.

Name that tune.
That’s it, that’s it! Brilliantly done my friend, thanks very much. 👏👏

Most of these records are acetates with unknown artists.

Name that tune.
Can anyone help please? A while ago, someone put a tune up on this forum. Male vocal, 60’s. Only a cheapie, but the backing track was almost identical to the great Mr Lucky, Born to Love You, mega rarity. I meant to get a copy at the time, but have totally forgotten about it, and can’t for the life in me remember what it was. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Identify this Song
I’m sure that an email to Craig would provide the answers.

Discogs look what I own
On the other side of the coin though. Discogs is responsible for a race to the bottom for prices of common records. Every seller has to beat the competition in order to generate sales. At that end of the market, it really is a buyers market.

I only ever saw this happen once, and I won’t mention the person’s name, because his set was totally ruined by the tone arms constantly jumping on the records.

How the heck do you change the carts/head shells and set them up, at an event? It’s dark, and you’ve only got three minutes max?

Yup, seen loads of dealers using those.
