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)

1 Don't want that illusion - J.O.B. ORCH (Sudarshan LP) 2 You deserve the right to be called father - TIP WATKIN (Flower) 3 I betcha - O.C. SMITH (Motown) 4 Colalined baby - DAVE LOVE (Solid Sound) 5 Go back -- GOLDIE ALEXANDER (Project UK) All played in my living room

Shouldn't that be Tyrone BARKLEY ' Man of value ' ?

Bought what I thought was a boot of this years ago at a fair, had it in my sales box for 3 years at £5, no takers, then saw a thread on here regarding the difference between real ones and boots, and found it was the original ! Got a decent three figure price for it (but nothing like it was going for a while later). Always thought the original looks more like a boot than the boot, if you get my drift ?!

Got a mint one for £3 at Olympia record fair year before last.

aaahhh, miss those old typed naive lists from the 70's .........

Also had a large quantity of Frankie Beverley on Sassy, red label, think around £8

Should have been quicker, there were several a couple of weeks ago

I like the Banana Splits theme

Mmmm... sounds like a useful publication to own, do you think my local library would have a copy (would like to find the value of a record I found at a church jumble sale, its called ' Ten times out of nine ' on Soul stop records ')

NO, THAT IS ' NEVER TOO MUCH '

TOO MUCH IS NEVER ENOUGH !!

Shit ... bad, bad news, what a talent
