Long gone are the days when You would get anything descent from Oxfam etc, well you do occasionally dont you, but its very rare. I was in Thame this afternoon and got all overcome with excitement to see they had a pretty big singles section!! Normally they have guys, or oldies dealers turn up on a Fri afternoon to take anything collectable away and sell on behalf of the group, but I must have got there before him, so copies of Sam Williams, Nabay on Grapevine, a PYE 12" release with Chuck Wood / Casuleers / Nosmo king etc on it, some Gene Chandler 12's, and a good one by Willie Hutch...and one or two London American things... I know its not the height of collecting, but it's always fun at £1.50 a go... I was a tad shocked when the guy on the till showed me the total though... Collecting is still fun... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Mal.C

whats that look Like Keith? VOICES OF EAST HARLEM --- CASHIN IN - JUST SUNSHINE --- 40 multi coloured 1st issue

Be interested to hear this one? Is it a 6ta or 7ts recording? -carl stewart "let s do it" on copyright - vg++ : $30 Malc

I posted a thread on this label some years ago, where I listed every 'Generally' known 45 that came out. While speaking to a chap on the West Coast it was mentioned back then that there were in existence green label Musette 45's, I'd never seen it, and Ive been looking for some years believe me, anyhow yesterday up pops a Yellow or possibly 'Green' copy of one of Lenni Groves three releases (65-10), told this is a demo copy, but I dont see why, label blurb is identical no DJ or Promo on there what so ever.. but hey what I do I know.. So here you are folks, doubt many have ever seen this one.. also the common orange label release in there. Mal.C

here are some nice ones from Australia, My Stateside Demo of "And get Away" both sides, this is from a Victoria Prison Radio Station, and an Issue and demo on "You Got the Power" sold the Issue when I got the Demo, but still looks nice.. Mal.C

Gonna add something in the same vein, nothing to do with Wigan casino and all that, but the flip of Billy Preston - 'The Girls got it' on Capitol has a track called 'The Night' thats recently got the "Wow! I Forgot How Great This Is………." from me, check it out... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEqLpqsloUM Malcolm

is that right... still great track.. Ive really discovered their material late in life, i always had one or two LP's / 45's but when you start diggin, they simply didn't make anything under parr, and the energy they put into their songs is awesome...

Add 'No Rebate on Love' and 'Don't make me no Promises' to that list... Both killer tracks.... Mal

here you go...

CAROL WOODS - IF I LET YOU (EMBER) No US or UK release for this Spanish label Northern/Crossover Carol woods did come out in the UK, had an Ember Promo earlier this year...

Come across Alan's CD's from swaps on here, all the time, never met him in the flesh but I bought and swapped with him for some years as allot of you did...Think I even have his copy of Sandy Hollis in my racks... Its good to remember...

do you have a sound file? Mal

I dont get out much, but whats a 'Hotbox DJ" ? M

Here's one you dont see everyday, interest to Motown Collectors, Bunny Paul - I'm Hooked /Were Only young Once / which came out on Gordy Stateside, On Aussie W&G... Only ever read about this, never actually seen one.. a snip at 50 Aud...read also that the Contours "Do You Love Me" came out, so only two singles released by the company.. You gotta Love W&G Records Melbourne! Mal.C

was the picture in Black and white perhaps>?

Its kinda always been like that though, if you want something on the day, best to shop about all the main dealers, and alot of times there will be various pricing... dealers charge what they have historically got for a track dont they, so buying modern from Mick Smith say, makes sense...

got a picture? Mal

never miss an opportunity, thats my Motto... Laughs..

I'm very happy to buy these so called Cheap records, I dont already have, and I was very happy to off load quite allot of very or lesser expensive records, that I simply did not listen to this year, made sense, they were good tracks but 'Collectors records", I bought 3 times that amount of better records in my opinion, that they were reasonably common wasn't a deciding factor... As for the bottom falling out, happened some time ago didn't it, but yes i suppose it has felt more acute at the moment, it will climb but we will have to wait a while for that to happen again, ultimately records are a luxury for most, so that spending wont increase till people have the spare cash to spend at the end of the month, add the extra dimension that the folk buying these records are simply getting older, you cant really see the future clearly, but I always remember what Ive read about 1982, closure of Wigan and all that, what those guys selling up didn't realize is there was an army of kids like me at school buying Kent LP's who would take this forward, and today there is a small but devoted army of Youngsters here, and over seas doing the very same. Relax folks, Northern Souls future is in good hands...!! Mal.C

yep aware of its first incarnation, seen it and gone after it, but to be honest i like my dark pink one, I never see them about...

Got my copy from Shifty many moons ago, I have the darker Pink release, which looks great by the way. When I bought it, I was told by various folk that it was the cheaper and more common of the two (Light / Dark Pink), Honestly, i dont think this is the case, Light pink ones are ten a penny really, you could lay your hands on one today if you wanted it.. main differences I can see is on the layout, is the LA address is present on the dark Pink one, and the Soul gents is set out differently, outside of that, The other big difference being the Betty Boop Godfrey Kerr (Music presumably) on the darker, Ledaclif Music: Cin Tune Music on the light release, both are BMI Registered.. Does anybody know the back ground on the releases, I assume the darker variation is still a sixties release but a second run, or is a regional release outside of LA? Interesting.. Mal.C

Black Symbol design is pretty common, WD and we coast styrene are rarer, doesn't detract though, jimmy helms is one of those 6ts sounds from 8ts early 9ts, brilliant record.. m
