Japanese Collectors
The Japanese scene is quite small these days isn't it for collecting? I don't mean when Keb goes over there. I understood there were some prolific collectors in the 70s and 80s and indeed at one time I think Soul Bowl had a seperate Japanese list (would have loved to have seen one of those!)....but these days I am told it is fairly quiet?

Anyone Know Anything About This 45
There are several groups with this name - this is a West Coast one I think from Oakland, though maybe wrong on that. It used to be rare though a few have turned up in the last few years so I'd say probably 250 ish now. It's been played a few times by a few of us. Good record though> Steve

Soul Night Disgrace
Same here. There's so many f'king rekkids and so many DJ's, can't see why a so called DJ needs bootlegs. If they can't afford anything else, then a DJ should be able to create a good playlist out of £5 originals. If they can't do that, then put simply they don't have any flair or imagination and don't deserve to be called a DJ.

Massive Notts Spin?
But is the buyer from "Notts"?

Massive Notts Spin?
It is funny though because someone did tell me that most of the copies of Jason Knight "Our love is getting stronger" were sold in the Notts area - and I don't think they were kidding.

Massive Notts Spin?
So he's basically googling things and coming up with abstract comments then - wait til he sees "BIG IN MY FRONT ROOM"

Massive Notts Spin?
You talking about the Madness song right?
-
Massive Notts Spin?
Yes massive in the Hucknall, West Bridgeford, Derby Road and Meadows areas of Nottingham Pete. Not sure about the rest of Notts though.

Sorry about that Denbo but it was important that you knew about this!

Clever boot on the US copy as well isn't there?

Mick Smith Spin
It's from texas, and has also been re recorded on a CD, Ian this wasn't a Soul Sam spin until much later. Think Dave Welding was the 1st one to play the B side, followed by me, Butch and Mick H. Sam got his copy later.....Steve

Alaina Reed - Dont Let Me Fall In Love Alone - Capitol
Think this is quite good, and also quite hard to find. Isn't the flip a cover of something someone else did, can't remember now but I seem to recall it being pretty ok.

The 40 Essential Djs Of The Past 40 Years
whatever you might think of Chris hill, he has been a very large influence on many over the years, and certainly deserves to be on the list and pretty high up. everyone remembers him for the swing nights thing, but he was ploughing a furrow as a club DJ for many years before that, and many years after.

Record Packaging
Not at all Bearsy, think we've all had "incidents" - think someone said they even had one arrive in a baby's nappy once. Smithy I think? (he received it, didn't send it like that ) I certainly had one in a jiffy bag with no strengtheners - it was styrene and guess what? vinyl arrived split in two where it had no doubt been hurled around in a sorting depot. What gets me is that some of these blatant loonies insist that their packaging is OK when clearly it ain't so. They've probably never been outside of their home town in Texas let alone Texas itself, or even the USA (god forbid), and probably have no idea what happens to parcels in transit once they drop them in the big shiny blue mailbox at the end of their road. I realise this is sounding like a rant at some of our US cousins, and many of them are very good, but most of the oddballs also seem to come from there it has to be said! I have had discs that are extremely well packed from the USA but mainly from professional sellers, rather than Joe Dungarees in Arkansaw. Can't recall a really bad package from the UK or Europe, though obviously one or two could have been a bit better. Rant over. See you on the 11th Mr Bear.

Brooks O'dell
U got all the label scans you need Tony? Brooks is a personal favourite of mine -having been put onto his music back in the late 70s by one Mr R. Cozens from Southgate.

Buy Anything U Want - All The Biggies Here
Instant Bootleg - Just add Tears.......Thank goodness it's such an awful recording, and such a poor record anyway. One of the WORST Mark.

Record Packaging
I spose you could always go onto one of his big items and ask the seller a question: "Has the seller learnt how to start packing his records properly yet or are they still dangerously inadequate?" That should stitch him up nicely as he has left you a negative.

For my money this is one of the best Jazz LPs of 2007.
