Why is the Isley Bros 150 UK pounds ?? Am I missing something ?

What about 2nd issue, usually meaning a record that came out legally twice, in most US cases, within a year or two of each other. Good example - Al Williams, on La Beat and Palmer, but both terribly expensive. (Actually not that good an example, don't think Palmer issues exist, only demos) ?

Hello Roger, my ideal Winter Warmer is a very large straight Courvoisier.

Mmmm....Yes, since when was the Fabulous Peps on Wee 3 an auction item ?? (JM site)

Not only a sensation, a bloody miracle, since the 2 tracks were recorded four years apart !!

The criminal wankfaces turning out all these illegal, immoral bootlegs need dissolving slowly in acid (actually that is probably too good for them).

That TOUCH OF CLASS sounds tempting at that price !

Got one of these, nowhere like mint, ' I don't wanna cry ' side, few hairlines, few marks, act plays well, VG, other side ' Love affair ' more hairlines, few pops, Fair+, still quite enjoyable. prob sell if you would like to make an offer.

I think Vanessa's eye colour is Frosted steel, or possibly Goose Down, after checking the Dulux on-line palette

Thanks mate, got one coming.

WANTED - BIG JIM'S BORDER CROSSING Double-sider on Zanzee Records, not particularly looking for minter, a decent flat VG+ would suffice. Please reply with any details of offer.

Literally hundreds of tracks feat. white vocalists, but mentioning Dawn - don't forget the fantastic Northern (old Wigan biggie) ' Baby's gone away ' on ABC - what a super 60's dance floor stormer, why do you never hear it out ?

A few off the top of my head (will post more this week as it all (well some of it) comes back to me - Darrow Fletcher - WHAT HAVE I GOT NOW // Deon Jackson - SOMEDAY THE SUN WILL SHINE // Eddie Holland - JUST A FEW MORE DAYS // Bros of Soul - I'D BE GRATEFUL // Little Bob - WE'RE IN LOVE (Big Carl secret C/U) // Purple Reign - YOU GAVE ME SOMEBODY TO LOVE // Cream of the Crop (Carol Anderson C/U) // Hy-Tones - YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME // Billy Stewart - LOOK BACK AND SMILE // Herman Griffin - SLEEP, LITTLE ONE - Truly superb sounds, what joyous memories ... more to follow !!

When it was very busy, phenomenal atmospheric niter, great spins from Fortnum, Banks, Nigel Parker, Gary Spencer, etc ... will try and mentally recollect stand out sounds and post on here (Wine / Beer / Cider brain cell destruction taken into account).

George Lemons, George Pepp, George Hobson, always loved all three, all excellent atmospheric rare 60's Niter spins !

How much were you looking for, Ian ?

Wanted - Cody Black ' I'm sorry ' - decent copy, don't want to spend the earth.

Timed my Mandells ' Think back ' - and got it to about 3.20, so that is about right.

Managed to buy one of these off Discogs cheaply after hearing it on that mixcloud thing a year or so ago, obscure, but good Bell release.

Been digging out a few 45's I haven't looked at for ages, cleaned up and spun the MANDELLS 'Think back' / ' I miss you baby ' on Trans World Sound, excellent double-sider. Then I noticed on various sites there seems to be releases on the same no. (222 821-S) with 'Think back' running time of 3.24, (one i've got), and also 2.57. Any ideas ?

Bought a record I already had several times, sometimes hear something I really like, enquire what it was, only to realize i've known it for years, totally forgotten the tune. As to having too many records, once i had FIVE sets of the Motown story (and never played any).

Spun out on Sat night (When you dropped your guard) LOVE KNOCKED YOU DOWN - NIGHTS (Little Star) (It would almost) DRIVE ME OUT OF MY MIND - FOUR TOPS (ABC) GIVING IT ALL TO YOU - CHERYL BURDELL (EMT) DANCING ON A DAYDREAM - FLORA WILSON (Soulvation Army) JUST TO BE WITH YOU - ELEMENTS (SARU)
