Alll brill :-)

Hi Paul, do you still have this one ? Mal

Great place... we used to have a caravan down there, but its sold now :-( the wookiee was actually taken on Caldey Island, the beach the boat drops you off on.. one of the best beaches in the UK i reckon...

It's a fungus Chris, your PC probably didn't like it :-)

Them Dynamic sound chaps again :-)

Wow, would love to see that one.... superb track, in my personal top 25, cause I could not do it in any less :-)

I'm in South Wales, the Dollie gave it away :-)

Was on a lovely beach this week in Tenby saw this Wookiee Sea Weed... :-)

Thanks for coming back guys, I can see Alex's FB page, sent him a friend request. I will be driving to southern France and northern Spain in Oct with my family so looks to be a bit more to sort as his hotel suggestions are based around singles and couples really, I'll look about, see what I can find... thanks all mal:-)

Really want to go to this in early October, I can see a site selling tickets for the 7th Oct when Margie is singing, but no general website for the whole event.... anybody been to this in recent years? Be good to speak to anybody about the area, hotels and such like alternatively are the promoters on here? Love to speak to you guys.,,:-) Malcolm

Bobby bland / how does a cheating woman feel / 336 rare? I dont recollect that this one is at all... Very strange

Cheers guys... I'll take another look round the dealers sites, Ebay and discogs.... but if your reading this and have one get in touch... mal :-)

Ok, so either Reid or Wand copy wanted, always prefer the first release of course m

Used to buy loads from Mike In the early 9ts, he lived in North Wales, but think he was originally a midlander, met him via Joe Dunlop who I think used to put his lists in with his own... Is Mike on here at all, anybody know if he's still about? Malcolm

Clarence Reid - I refuse to give up / Wand Cheapie but Great track by Clarence, want an issue or demo, doesn't matter, must be a good label, Ex+ and above.... drop me a pm if you have one of these.. malcolm

went to the last one Ted, it was really good... I thought the Mod boys played some crazy blues stuff as well, Id never heard before, as always with Tony's do's, just good fun :-)

don't get it, this is a 10 tune... why is it now worth 70 plus... ?

Reasonably rare 45, but Big Maybelle's is better on Port....

Went out with one of the Nuneaton girls, that was until I found out she was seeing somebody else :-( and we did that mod cafe every week, had a really good record shop next door, Second City Sounds, had loads of stuff out of there... the joy of youth! Lol. CheersRob :-)

See, bunch of tossers...

Wow Rob, your journey sounds allot like mine, Im 47, so I'm quite sure we probably met or kinda knew each other back then? I was from South Birmingham... we all got chased around town by Skin heads and Zulus on a Sat, Bunch of tossers... It's a great thing you can see the generations of soul fans on this thread, Fabulous music and great culture.....:-). Just love it m

Great stories all.... for my part, I was a mod at secondary school, into collecting Kent Lp's and sixties stuff, I never liked revival stuff really..... in the mid eighties morphed into a scooter boy, by the time I left school I was going to the outrigger in brum and old Vic in Wolverhampton, I followed house from early on but by 88 I was taken by the acid scene! Literally.... laughs. by 93 I'd lost interest as that period was so good it could never last, I'd kept my soul 45s and started going back to soul nighters on my Todd, that's when I got the collecting bug big time, I'd sold my house collection, and was hoovering up as many northern 45s as I could afford, bought tapes from Pete Smith about this time, bought allot of Mick Smith, rob pheasant, Gary cape, soul bowl, Tim brown, John Manship and did all the record fairs, and record lists.... moved to Brighton in 93/4 and ... very much enjoyed the 9ts/2000 London scene, met my wife at the 100 club I've not looked back in terms of collecting... always liked northern ever since I was at Senior school... :-) mal

Very interesting thread, sorry I can't add anything to the Roburt"s original question, but I would like to find out what folk know about Tut Sutton and his one release on the label? I can feel the tears / No appreciation/ USA 852 Mal

Couple of these for sale reciently, I know It's always been around, so I thought should I pick it up... on listening to it again, I think Linda / whatnauts is better, and the flip although sounds good on a first listen, I know I'd get bored of it and never spin it... one of those 45s that promises allot but actually isn't all that good... still the collector in me wants it for the label, expensive 45 to make me feel good while flicking through through the box as they say -- :-) mal

don't agree Steve, that was one evil cover version by soft cell, and the testitiment to that is it sold millions and folk love it today as they did back then.... it's an awesome song and soft cells version is brilliant in my opinion, I love Gloria's original of course... there are more covers out there, and no one ever remembers those.... It's a Richard Searling spin for sure, he confirmed finding it at house of sounds in the USA and spun it first...
