"Annie Get your Yo Yo" - Little Junior Parker on Duke I reckon. Can't check as I'm at work. I would have called it R&B years ago until the meaning changed Godz

Anyone want half a dozen copies of "Day Trip to Bangor" by Fiddler's Dram then? Godz

Funny thing that. Charles diamond thinks he sang it too... https://www.charlesdiamond.indiegroup.com/photo.html Godz

Spot on Mik. I've always loved Joe 90 ever since I was a kid with my W.I.N. special agent's briefcase. I mean, how can you not like Barry Gray?? I think people get mixed up between records that are not soul and shite tunes. Both the above are top TV theme tunes and it's not the fault of the creators of these pieces of music that some feckwit decided to play them at soul clubs. Same arguement for Human Beinz as a garage record really, I guess. If you take this viewpoint to it's logical conclusion, everything from Bach to the Beatles and beyond is rubbish purely because it has no place in the soul scene. Godz

Old Wigan cover-up for Searling. Lee Valentine maybe? Everyone was well aware of it at the time. But in fairness it was some time ago... Godz

At a funk night I trust Appears regularly on ebay fairly cheaply - $10/15 I think. Godz

Definately. Love that shouty stuff Anybody give me a price on the Sugar Pie 45? I know it's been a bit of a mod spin and was comped by Kent and I always imagined it was a £10/£15 record but I can't find a price through googling. Am I about right or miles out? Thanks again. Godz

ok - cheers, Rachel Godz Fine tune for 20 squid I should add! Godz

I have an arrangement with my friendly neighbourhood second-hand record shop. He gives me a bell when he gets any interesting looking soul or funk and we agree a price on anything I want. I try to offer him a price that's fair to both of us. He's just bought a load of singles from an ex DJ and there are some decent bits and we've sorted out a deal for 20 odd items. Not sure about these three though so would appreciate a bit of pricing help: Sugar Pie Desanto - Go Go Power - Checker Shirley Wahls - Because I Love You - Calla DJ Majestics - She troubles My Mind - Cube (UK) Cheers guys Godz

Fontana 45, Grant. It's titled "Why Don't I Run Away From You". I think I have a copy somewhere. PM me if you're interested. Cheers Godz

Well as no-one has cared to speculate why I said this was topical and I'm about to hit the sack due to an early start tomorrow - here's the artists: Pair of beauties eh? Godz

Ca$h $ales if I remember. Fast and furious too I think. Godz

and peace and goodwill to you mate Actually, when I was a postman in the Wigan days I used to do my delivery with a tape recorder in my bag playing my latest purchases at full belt. Very popular at 6.30am as you can imagine Tape recorder weighed a bloody ton too... Godz

Should have the full version this time. Topical too, you might say Godz

ok - if you don't like the odd pop tune there's no point having a listen to this and saying "no soul content, white pop, etc, etc" If however you don't mind hearing the odd poppy dancer on a nice sunny day - have a listen Godz oops - attachment buggered up - full one on post 3

Teddy Johnson actually, Simon You have to be careful with Eurovision stuff - the fans are even more rabid than the people on here! Godz

There's a piece in the new Record Collector about the Billy Harner 45 recently sold on eBay. It reads: 7" single on Karma Sutra Records of which only five are said to exist, this Northern Soul rarity has been hiding in LA for the last few years. No mention of the fact that it's the instrumental cut though. It'll be interesting to see if anybody suddenly thinks they have £1000 record on their hands... Godz

Can't wait to hear the Patti Jo. You doing Big Chill again this year, Bob? Godz

PM received and LP on the way buckshee and gratis. Crikey I'm full of love today! Godz

Star Jumpers? ...I'll get me sewing machine Godz

Right you lot - before you start, the only reason I have this is because I picked it up in a job lot of (mostly jazz) LPs and I haven't got a clue how to get rid of it except chucking it in the bin. Gogse, if you want it PM your address and I'll post it to you

Too slow Godz

Hiya Rod Got a Gambrells - I think it's mint - will check after tea. £65 if you're interested. Cheers Godz

The flute is played by Nicole's husband and all round top Finnish geezer, Jimi Tenor. Godz
