Through the box this week If you want my love- Oncoming times - Duo Modulations Lp - Its rough out there -Buddhah Townsend Townsend Townsend & Rogers LP - Chocolate City

Coolcollectible$ is his ID - He had acopy of the Charmettes up for bids His exact comment was - "It keeps the bottom feeders away" WElcome to the world of Blocked bidders"

Semi-Known is the one I hate- Who the F**k knows it. Had one yesterday when I queried the postage- The reply was "WElcome to the world of Blocked bidders" Did not understand it myself! Anyone enlighten me!

Their should be a Syndrome for this addiction and Psychiatrists paid large sums of money to cure some of us. How about Pychotherapy groups for Soul addicts! No medication required on this one as or maybe they should have pills with micro photos of records on them. Yep Im talking crap but guess what some bloody idiot will be on News at whatever time it is discussing with some quack about this horrible disease which affects our nation - Its called collecting soul records! Maybe not today but in a few years time. Its time to go and lie down!

4 for me would be Keep on keepin On- NF Porter - Everyone Clapps at the certain time Quittin Time - Big Maybelle - Crazy frantic record that reminds you of past girlfriends Ever again - bernie williams - Again the Clap thing at the breaks I cant help loving you - Paul Anka - Because no one would belive a Brat pack artist could make such a good soul record. Obviously tons more as well - Frankie Crocker/ Epitome of sound/ James Bounty / Mel Britt/ too many to say thats why we love this music!

This one is for Pete S Do the Pearl Girl- Matta baby (The Vocal) HAHA I cant believe me & Pete Had a bidding war over this on ebay. Shows how mad you can be when you want something no matter how crap it is!

Is the Love shortage - same as TUME Another good Buddah one- Clifford Curry- Moving in the same circles / Loneliness is killing me

5th Dimension - No love in the room - Arista Absolutely brilliant intro then it just dies! Vocally and musically.

Jackie Wilson aint worth that much £60-£70 tops or get it on the Lp for £20.00 along with some other crackers.

The Album is called Magical Sheperd and was a mecca spin originally!

Best £5 you will spend this year- Just sold a copy to a sourcer!

Not the case I spoke to the PPL yesterday for another reason and asked if an Indian band made some cds and gave the music as apresent or was even paid for it and they acknowledged that then the PPL says you dont need alicence to play them in any venue even if the venue does not have a licence.

So what about web sites - eg this one Or John Manship or keith williams site infact any site that plays music - Where does that fit in? Apparrantly if the venues plays live music by the band that wrote the muusic words etc and they can prove it the venue does not need a licence- That came from the PPL this morning or if you play cds or records that are not copyrighted you dont need a license. The question for web sites then is interesting as they might not know which records are registered or copyrighted with the PPL. Im just interested in peoples opinion as i think this is intetresting! especially which records are registered and by who and which are not.

"Clarence Murray"- Now thats anice tune

Im Not worried- Just interested The PPL website is limited in the extreme Just interested to see any replies to my questions- Thought thats what this website was about! Obviously not- Its just for slagging off ! or it seems that way!

So if the venue had not got a licence ( Dont know why- but hypothetically) and the room had been contracted out it would be the promoters responsibility? Yes / No The actually interesting bit is which records are registered and which are not and how does Mr Manship deal with this on his site as its not avenue in the same sense?

Ho do promoters deal with this as the PPL(Phonographic performance limited) base it on square feet. So If you promote at the same venue thats easy but if you promote across venues the licence price changes! The other issue to this is Whether or not the copyright has been listed with the PPL and if its not you dont need a licence to play that record but if the track has been registered- Yes you do. Here acouple that have Do the Pearl Girl by the Matta Baby on Penny registered by universal. Larry Birdsong - Somebody help me - Sur speed Couple that have not - Cletus Marland - Your gonna Miss me - Terry Fabulous Shalimars - Playin alosing game - Cotillion. So even the big labeles dont alway register but the little labels do! Anyone tried to compile a datbase of thos records that have been registered with PPL and do you know what the fines are for not having a licence to play such registered records? Is this can of worms time?

I think the Warner 12" or 7inch is quite rare and goes for money in the States- Never seen that label is it released after the Warner Bros?

Jimmy James & the vagabonds- Want you so much Uk Pye This will be a monster and the gasher played it at the Big lock and people were asking what it was and were suprised to hear its the b-side of abig hit. Now is the time- to buy this before it gets hiked price by a bloody price guide!

Yes This ones a styrene copy but the one Im keeping is Vynil- Glad you agree.

- Always had alot of respect for you John except on acouple of occasions of which one is quoted below! So John Is the price guide based on rarity or Popularity of a record? Ace spectrum was not a rare record but popular so you hiked the price up by nearly 1000% in less than a year Yet you drop frederick hymes because theres an influx of dubious copies. Therfore your guide is nly based on sales and therefore is a narrow way of looking at it- Please tell me Im wrong about the last part because i wasnt about the Ace spectrum.
