As I said..I had the Milton James and really liked it..had to be tempted really hard to let it go..hence the Walter and The Admerations In fact I did clap eyes on the Milton James again when I was DJing in Valencia...it was on Marc Forrest's turntable!!!

It is about demand isn't it Like most people who have commented I got my copy of Rita and The Tiaras when thing were a lot less expensive..250 or so. I also had Milton James but swapped it for Walter and The Admirations With reference to price..I can see Rita making as much in todays market as Milton James....down to the number of people chasing it

Some interesting names from the distant past there Paul

You old cynic Nev

Looks like I'm in the minority I LIKE IT

J.D.Martin was issued...I've got one.....extremely rare

Buon compleanno

Great minds think alike Mick I've just come in to take a break from the pruning..Soul Source 'cup of tea and a Twix....

Thing is with records like Johnny Praye ..just using this as an example..they are indeed rare records..not many people have them..so when the likes of Butch who plays upfront drops them from the playlist there aren't that many who are capable of playing them...cos the haven't got them..they do come around again..just need to look at some of the records played at Stafford for example.. With reference the Bettye Swann c/up..it.s ok..but doesnt really do it for me...personal taste

Brill...hey nice to see Kenny Smith and Wendell Watts on the playlist the Kenny Smith has a very interesting funky flipside..

A few Stone Blue copies have surfaced...5 or so years ago would have said they were rarer..dont think there is much in it now...whichever way the cookie crumbles its rare Played it out at Easington in the "small room" on Saturday night...sounded great still.

The Mercury copies have a really good flip

don't think we are designed to multitask

Frankie Karl and The Chevrons is on Philtown ...7th Avenue Aviators on Congress

Agree with you Mick..like yourself...Timi Yuro 150...Rita and The Tiaras...250 Not any more As you say collecting these items is more international than ever...supply and demand

Trick with Blur Rock issues is to find one that doesn't hiss

The flip is pretty decent RnB as well

It's going to be a good night with the Twins as well as the usual suspects...ENJOY

I do as well Mick...I got the Acetate off Rob some years ago..played it out at The Wilton one night..guess what...cleared the floor with it. Just goes to show

Or better still...a small live wire to the mains ,,connected to the DJ...could link it to the weight on the dance floor,,,lets say 500kg before it goes off....bit like that film "Speed"

Was that the Gino Washington..Oh Baby...Acetate?

Now this is a tricky one...seeing your post reminded me...remember two or three years ago playing Matthew Barnett in the Rare Room at Brid...packed floor...someone else played it..same room,same crowd the following night..emptied the floor..explain that one????????

To me it certainly looks like a Kosher Bell Acetate Just the time the track was laid down As Ady says..to be able to track the provenance back is the only way to know Can the original seller (U.S) shed light on this

Was looking at that item myself and trying to figure out if Scepter/Wand would have used Bell at the date of the Walter Wilson record...above comments are helpful

No probable about it Aaron...cant think of a better RARE soul night
