Not easy to add much to a thread like this, other than to say I personally buy anything, if its good, if its expensive, I generally wait till I get one at a price I'm prepared to pay, otherwise its on the i-pod, or Pete Smiths old i-pod... cheers Pete.. I think after a while you start to see what are really rare records and what are over proced common records, I'm lucky in that I kept allot of the cheaper older stuff that I paid 10 quid for back in the late 8ts early 9ts, and I would feel a tad pissed at paying some of the prices I see on stuff like Tammy Wayne, Lorraine Rudolf, Ruby Winters etc etc, so I feel your pain there Tommo.. That said, shop about, there is always something new, something not allot of others are chasing, take me buying the Soul Injection - Stay of the moon for $10, on Ebay no less... always bargins to be had Tommo if you can be bothered to look... that's what i think.. Mal.C.

Seems some folk cant agree on what Crossover actually is, so here's your five as I see it... Margie Joseph - One More Chance Paul Walters - I know what love is all about Peggy Scott - Things Have More Meaning Now The Blues Busters - Love is the Answer Rhythm Machine - Whatcha Gonna Do if there was a sixth allowed??? Margie Joseph - Come on back to me lover; or maybe I make two by Margie count as one? Mal.C.

Used to knock about with Mark White, haven't seen him in ages.. I'd love to get in touch again if you do speak to him.. Mal.C. Oh use your eyes, he just replied above... doh!! I'll pip you an email mark... that is you right? M

Dunno, never heard of him...

I'd say at a guess, although both have different writing credits etc, they are two versions of the same song...

I thought this might be Lennie, or Reggie.....who knows... regards implements, Listen to both of them, and you tell me... m

very happy, just got this on demo in the post this morning, and notice the writing credits read : (Satin:Smith:Smith) Obviously we all know the various versions out there, Nate Evans, James Phelps, John Edwards, Magnetics, and the brilliant but slightly different titled Implements - Look over your shoulder... so then, Satin is almost certainly Reggie Satin, both from Chicago, I wonder if anybody can confirm that and it looks like his is the first version of this great song?? Mal.C

just ordered my copy from Crazy Beat, you gotta give the Big man a plug!! looking forward to giving it a listen in full.. cheers M&D.. Mal.C.

Is John Bowie the version from that CD? a dare i say funky type version. mal.C

very interested to see these Denni, But ya keeping them back?? I've pm'd yu and nothing on here...?? bit confused.. M

the boot is £5 tops..Mark, ask Pete smith he might have one... the Dee Dee Uk 45 will turn up, there are loads about.. Mal.C

that's funny....Atwright!! You might also wanna check all of Dee Dee's 45's, especially 'Where is that Rainbow' and 'I havent got anything better to do' for an absolute classic slowie...

tricky, cause I'm sure there are at least two Bobby Robinsons, dee dee records is out of baltimore right? dont think he is you know, as the bobby on the carletts is the NY label owner of Fury etc, who had a shop in the city from the mid 4ts.. Mal.C.

sorry all, i have just found one for a fiver, its a white one, with raised Uk anti slip edge...so a 1972 re issue?? or there about pete.. I'll keep it as I do hava little box of ska things I like such as frankinstein, the puzzel, soulettes 45's etc etc.. cheers all m

Prince Buster - Al Capone / One step beyond / UK Blue beat I dont buy many ska records, but whats the above worth? Mal.C.

I paid about £200 for a yellow issue of the Cookie scottt on Orr 4 - 5 yrs ago, it is in fact vocal one side, and Inst tuther,under the name of princeshell or somethihng... Mal.C.

THE NEW DANCE SHOW DETROIT, MICHIGAN Probably get shot for posting this on a Soul site, but Brilliant footage of a House music TV show, Broadcast in the years between 'being created' and fully getting to these shores, Adonis - No Way back is a killer as always...really gives you a feel to how americans danced, dressed etc etc...before some idiot over here added Day glow... Enjoy Mal.C.

Brilliant, this is what its all about... M

Current Bid: £ 268.00 :ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy: cannot believe my eyes, surely not? I know it's John manships auction, and all worldly sense is lost on the final prices, But surely not? Mal.C

I loved this when I first discovered it, But I've really gone off it of late, maybe through over listening.. I do Like the other 45 by this lot on the label, Ray & The Belaires - The Blame is on you, I'm assuming its pretty much the same group as some of the credits match up.. there maybe other 'Ray and.....' releases on the label also.. Mal.C

|How aBOUT THIS ONE, ANYBODY GOT A MINT DEMO OF THIS? m

OK No reply on these what so ever, so a simpler question, does anybody own them, and can they fill in the labels and maybe suggest a price..? Cheers all m

its all good, especially expansions... A mate of mine gave me all of Roy Ayres LP's in Mp3 form about a year ago, every one, all brilliant.. Good little story on him, he played Ronnie Scotts over a decade ago in Birmingham, and in the day time before his show set up in one of the shopping centers with copies of his latest LP, just him, a chair, a table, the Lp's and a Big bouncer type chap, anyhow I'm walking past and notice this guy (Roy) has the LP up against his face and its pulling it down and making a funny face and silly voice to passers by, only when I went up to him did I twig who he was... as Obviously I had a ticket to attend later... Really nice chap, chated for twenty mins, he signed an autograph, said Roy Ayres = Good Vibes, with a big cut-out of his head and shoulders, and I leave with his latest LP... made my day. Mal.C

Think my first all nighter would have been a Twisted Wheel revival nighter with that Tony Clayton bloke, he was the priest right? would have been 87 I guess, quickky followed by the 100 club where I fell asleep with my head in one of the noughts !! Sounds that I remember, Precisions, Chubby Checker, Bobby Hebb, Ersque Reeder, Jerry Fuller..most of the music I knew was from Kent Lp's and from scooter runs; would have been attending the Old Vic in Wolverhampton every month also, so Lady in Green from Ted Massey, and Verdelle Smith and Kelly Garret are stand outs played by Tony Renoylds there and at the Out Rigger in Brum.. Reminds me of the Big SKOL Sign on the Birmingham sky line, by the Rotunda... !! happy memories.. Mal.C.
