Why is it that so many people get into collecting & just want copies of records that have already gone big on the scene ? You've just said about a prime example - Turley Richards. That was just a cheap record for donkeys years. As it was only about 10 to fifteen quid I bought 4 copies, played one & sat on 3 to sell if it ever went up, because I thought it was not a bad record for the price. So why not listen to the records that are still relatively affordable that haven't gone big. We only got to listen to a lot of these on tape swaps, but now we've got youtube. Like Steve G said in an earlier post, if you can afford to pay £10 to £30 on a boot or carver you can buy originals. Just thought of another brilliant little record, Curtis Smith - Livin End. I bought 8 copies for two quid each off a dealer, it now makes 50 quid. Rather than buying 2 or 3 boots, buy a copy of that before it becomes another Turley Richards. Oh sorry, perhaps we'd better wait until a big named dj plays it & it sells for £600, then we can moan about the stupid price it makes.

I've got a beautiful Mint- Mighty Lovers "Ain't gonna run no more" backed with "Driving me out of my mind" Looking for trades on this, 1960's classic Northern oldies, US or UK. Just drop me a pm if you're interested.

Dynamic Walter B & The New Breed Band - Before I Fall In Love / A Mans Way Of Life - New Breed Records. Very rare funky dancer. Condition : Vinyl is Mint & plays the same. It has a misty look to the vinyl (see photo's) most likely from when it was manufactured. Ink mark round middle on flip side. Price : £150 plus £2.70 Signed For postage within the UK.

GEORGE F SMALLWOOD "YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU" Mint-. £60.

I've had two copies of Little Willie Faulk. Interesting thing is one copy had the address on the label & the other one didn't. Only ever had one copy of Ree Flores. Having played both versions at Stewartby I have to admit general opinion has always been Ree Flores sounds better loud.

I owned that copy !

Very rare British London R&B. Ocie Smith "Lighthouse" / "Too Many" London in it's original sleeve. £100. Condition. Genuine condition, it's not been cleaned up. Light scuffs, mostly sleeve lines, no pops or bangs, record plays flat. It's got its original middle perfectly in tact. It has pencil on both labels. The VG on one label is nothing to do with the condition it the initials of the man that owned it (Victor) he was a local dj back in the early 60's, I got his collection.

Hello, just seen your post. I've got some sweet, low rider sounds on eBay at the moment. Things like: THE EXPERTS "WAKE ME WHEN IT'S OVER" THE SOUL MAJESTIC'S "I DONE TOLD YOU BABY" SEPTEMBER "I'LL GO CRAZY" BALLADS "I LOVE YOU, YEAH" .....etc. Here's a link https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/soulinc123/m.html?item=392311931565&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

CHANCE & TONY "PRETTY BABY" ANN-V £750 Now this has turned out to be a rare record, CHANCE & TONY on ANN-V. Not known to a lot of people. It has surface scuffs but plays crisp, loud & clear. Please see photo for label condition. This is the copy I play at Stewartby. Price is £600 plus £7.90 special delivery within the UK. Can be heard on youtube, but that's not my copy playing.

JIMMY (SOUL) CLARK "TELL HER" MOIRA. EX. £30. P&P £2.70 Signed For within the UK. Brilliant little record, just realised I've got a spare so grab yourself a really good sound for not a lot of money. JIMMY (SOUL) CLARK "TELL HER" MOIRA. EX. £30. P&P £2.70 Signed For within the UK

Here's a bit of a bargain for you. The Puffs "I only cry once a day now" / "MOON OUT THERE" for £200. Condition. Vinyl is visually Excellent. The record is perfectly flat, but here's the reason I've halved it's price. On the outer edge there are tiny little edge ripples to the vinyl. In the silent run in you can hear some noise, not ticks or pops - more like a whoosh sound, this then fades when the music kicks in. Mind you, like a number of rare West Coast vinyl presses it's pressed on that slightly noisy reconstituted vinyl. Postage at cost.

Rare black issue in top condition. THE INTERTAINS - NEED YOUR LOVE / GLAD I FOUND YOU - UPTOWN. £100. Postage at cost.

You won't find a cleaner copy, it's absolutely spotless. IKE AND THE VINES - THAT WALK / HEY HEY GIRLS - SUTTER. £300. Postage at cost.

Some years back I used to have a table on Hitchin market. A chap I'd known for many years would come & see me most weeks as I would find him bits & pieces that he collected, he liked vintage advertising items, local postcards, etc. On my table I had a couple of boxes of records and one week he said he had some records in his loft. Every now & then I'd ask him to bring them along, he'd then reply with "Find me something I want & I might do". Anyway, one week I'd found about 8 or 10 old local postcards & I had them at the back of the table. He spotted them & he really wanted them. I agreed to keep them for him until the next week to give him time to go in the loft. Next week he was there early in the morning. We went over to the car park to his car, he insisted I take my few postcards with me, and he opens the boot up. I nearly fell over it was full of boxes of CBS demo's ! I asked him how he'd managed to get them ? He said he worked for CBS from the mid 60's, he told me he pretty much ran the whole thing. I only got a few records in swaps for the cards, so I asked could I buy the rest ? No you find me some more trades & I'll put them back in the loft for now he said. That was about 12/15 years ago, I see him a couple of times over the following year but not seen him since. I'd rather not say what I managed to get in swaps that day, but the important thing was we were both happy (-;

Hi Steve Re "when did it first emerge to the light of day and by whom". John Anderson found it & sold one to Richard Searling. Richard plays it covered up as Joe Mathews around 78/79. Stays a c/up until Kev Draper gets a copy. Think Kev plays it uncovered at the Fleet, 80/81 ? Originals have a nice crisp ARP stamp in the dead wax.

Sorry to hear this sad news. RIP Dave.
