Have to admit to having used this term in sales recently but assumed it was a sort of seller's warranty that the 45 would play through ok with no real issues if you wanted it to DJ with. Text from site grading guidelines :- VG+ A few more marks or light scuffs than a VG++ record but still sounds fine for listening and/or DJing. No scratches.Light surface wear. A used but far from abused copy. VG Scuffs and light scratches throughout, most can't be felt. Expect some surface wear throughout the record with light surface noise and possibly a few pops in places. Should still serve as a suitable player copy for listening & DJing.

I volunteer for Age UK and was sorting the vinyl donations on Friday when I found 2 decent 45's - Geno Washington - I've Been Hurt By Love and Pink Floyd's - Arnold Layne. Priced the Geno Washington at £14.99 and advertised it on the local NS Facebook page. A wise soul had been in today and bought it. Wouldn't mind the Pink Floyd 45 myself but it's too pricey for me! Makes a change from endless Jim Reeves albums

Mmm very tempted Rob. We'll be in London that night so would love to do it.

Was hoping to make it along prior to the 100 Club. In the end none of Norwich 100 Club regulars were going this month and I didn't fancy the drive on my own. Sounds like I missed another good night. Best Mike

It's good isn't it Pete. Reminds me to investigate your reggae podcasts - Only taken me 40 odd years to discover rock steady - better late than never I suppose Edit - Just had a quick search and can see there's a couple of recent ones Studio 1 and Boss Sounds & Rock Steady which I'll have a listen to later this evening.

I've been given a Rock Steady CD compiled by a mate from his collection which I think is fantastic and its not been off the car stereo since I got it last week. Didn't know much about the genre beyond the commercial stuff but looking forward to delving more deeply in the future . Here's the tracklist : Renegades - You've Lost The Love Federals - You Better Call On Me Sensations - Those Guys Johnny & Attractions - Young Wings Desmond Dekker - It Pays Justin Hinds - Once A man Ken Boothe - So Nice Pat Kelly - You Are Not Mine Maxie Romeo - Walk In The Dawn Keith & Tex - Stop That Train Eternals - The Stars Corneal Campbell - Just One Kiss Carribeats - Highway 300 Delroy Wilson - Give Love A Try Winston Hinds - Cool Down Cables - Love Is A Pleasure Uniques - Out Of Love Melodians - Swing & Dine Devon Russel - Make Believe In You Slim Smith & Gaylads - You Don't Care Albert Tomlinson - Don't Wait for Me Consummates - Do It Now Hopeton Lewis - This Poor boy Dermot Lynch - I've Got Your Number Federals - Penny for Your Song Lloyd Williams - In Love With You Slim Smith - Born To Love Blues Busters - I've Been Trying Wailers - Sunday Morning. They're all winners I think but current fave is this:-

Or old hose! More likely to be wearing tights in 72.

Spent this afternoon at Fakenham racecourse in Norfolk. Bold Adventure ( second from last in this picture ) on his way to winning at 8-1. Had 2 other winners too!

Lovely feedback Shuffling - Glad you enjoyed the night.

Thanks for your feedback Chas. The event was aimed at complimenting Mark's regular events in the Main Hall at The Talk in Norwich featuring mainly classic and quality NS oldies and so the emphasis was to cover records which don't get played so often. I actually agreed a trade for the Bobby Foster track with one of the other dj's a couple of weeks ago and he turned up with it on the night about 5 mins before I was due to go on. It had apparently come from Soul Bowl and been in his collection since 74 and hadn't been played since, so job done on that one at least .

Cheers Rob. It's Far Out in the Far East Has been far too long since we came to 99p Soul but hopefully will be down there again soon. ATB Mike

Thankyou to Mark (Prof Turnups on here ) for inviting me to spin a few. Here's what I played. Bobby Foster - If You Really Need A Friend Eddie Floyd - Bring It On Home To Me Billy & Clyde - World Of My Own Jerry Butler - Loneliness Gene Chandler - Buddy Ain't It A Shame Paramount 4 - Sorry Ain't The Word Terry Callier - Look At Me Now Joe Hicks - Don't It make You Feel Funky Eddie Parker - Body Chains Robert Thomas - Salvation Bobby Foster - Where Do You Go Spencer Wiggins - I'm At The Breaking Point Gregg Jolly - Love Is Rimshots - Do What You Feel Old (M) Pressions - Right On David Ruffin - No Matter Where Billy Sha Rae - Do It Patti Jo - Ain't No Love Lost Tyrone Ashley - I Want My Baby Back Last 7 in a later spot from midnight double decking with Frank Webster. Only my second time playing records in front of paying customers and really enjoyed it but looking forward to resuming my usual place on the other side of the decks at the 100 Club next week!

Went winter walking with some friends yesterday from Blakeney to Cley ( North Norfolk ). Some pictures here of the windmill at Cley and gathering cut reeds for roof thatching?

In the middle of reading Little Symphonies - A Phil Spector Reader - edited by Kingsley Abbott. A good yarn and will have a listen to some of the clips above to compliment the book. This joke attributed to Spector made me laugh " Albert Einstein invented the bomb, nuclear fission, the theory of relativity and you look at every picture of him, the man couldn't invent a hair conditioner!".

View of Bansko in Bulgaria from the Gondola. I'm a bit bored sitting by the fire in the hotel at 11.20 rather than queuing for the gondola (2 hrs and the only way up the mountain). Oh well you get what you pay for I guess.

1) Ouzoud, Morocco 2) Wengen, Switzerland. 3) Holme Next The Sea, Norfolk 4) Peddars Way, Norfolk All taken on my iPhone but after seeing previous pictures I've decided to get a proper digital camera.

Big Star's albums #1 Record and Radio City have to be two of the best sounding records ever made. RIP John Fry.
