  1. Indeed and understood Trouty. He was hoovering up so many records 97-01 that he was bound to get some good ones no question. You just reminded me, I remember him at Victoria record fair getting 200 records off of soul bowl - filling his record box which arrived empty. And then the "manservant" who was employed to carry his masters box didn't put the lid on properly and all the records he'd just bought fell out over the floor. Ouch. Cue tantrum, beating with "Elephant whip" etc. BTW I did see multiple copies of all these "excloosivs" (Vandals, Valaquons, 7 Wonders etc) when I was doing my bit for "Vulture-ocity" .

    The Wand one is serious serious wonga - John reckons he had them, but like everything else they've vanished or disintegrated into dust. Two wand tricks - 1) distribute in one City only to guage reaction before nationwide release, so if the local distributor chucks them out, or doesn't do his job - very rare 2) Press them up, then fall out with the producer / singer / etc so the copies never get out of HQ. Then when the dust has settled summarily chuck them all in the garbage a few months later :angry:
  3. As one of the "Vultures" I can indeed confirm this to be true. Things like Jim Gilstrap flew out of Ealing. I believe even the Motown collection has gone now Of the tunes you cited though they weren't all his, Benny Harper was an old John A thing that a number of us got - Ditto Sandy & Pebbles on Sussex - but hey I'm not here to slag someone off who isn't here to defend himself so at this point, so I'll carry on gnawing at this carcus of an animal I found dead by the side of the road this morning.
  4. Sad replying to your own posts, but in the absence of anyone else, does anyone actually know this?
  5. Alison I may have to disagree with you on this one - Ian has over 100,000 records - three rooms full, and at first glance it looks impressive. How many good ones? I'd say not too many at this point. Benny Harper was one - which several DJs got, and Jim Gilstap is obviously a great track - but both of these have gone to homes. A number of punters have been down to Ealing and picked out the best tunes. But on the negative side with Ian equally we got a load of remakes - Vandals, Valaquons, 7 Wonders of the World type things that were truly poor. Not to mention the truly dreadful 60's like Adam Wade! This is just SO bad. ALmost as bad as "Midnight mail" which is pure crapola. And some of the 70s - Diane Steinberg, Elliot Goldberk on TSOP? - jeepers how deep is the barrel? I wondered why this was on the only 45 on TSOP I hadn't got - having got one, I now realise I was missin....absolutely nothing. Ian is not here to defend himself, and I know he is passionate about the music, but in terms of quality I suspect it just ain't really there no more. Sorry gal!
  6. No not the same group - rather a UK group and a tailor made, which Ian pretended was an obscure "undiscovered" US track.
  7. Jamie I am not a promotor - but agree someone should bring him over. He's a live wire. Funnily enough got the acetate in the early 90's and only guessed it was him. It took a few years to confirm - I think we got in touch via David Cole who interviewed him in In the Basement. Steve
  8. What do people think of her norvern Mercury side?
  9. If they're unreleased then you got an excloosiv anyway have you not Pete? This Lomax thing is very expensive - not convinced anyone has paid less than 1g for it, and some more recent luminaries have paid progressively more - sure the Dj's want to get some of their investment back by sticking on the paper labels and keeping it that way for a time. And yes it's frustrating - as frustrating as not knowing what Belita Woods might be - which again very few people know.
  10. The B side is the old Trouy Johnson c/up.
  11. Brian, I do know Ian - take this as light hearted banter mate.
  12. You mean there is someone left on the NS scene who isn't a DJ already???
  13. What about M6 Carlisle - Carstairs route - will you have Cumbrian's on that road as well?
  14. Just to let you know that the best version of Tony's "Living in the footsteps" has been issued on 45. This is the version I used to play off of acetate and is not the version released on Tony's 2003 CD. In short a wonderful midpace stepper. Full details at www.itssoultime.com Enjoy! Steve
  15. Can you "Scots" keep him north of the border please, and let us know if he tries to make a break for it over the wall?
  16. Sounds a bit "naughty"?
  17. Steve G replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    Don't forget to put a ridiculously high reserve price on it

    How sad is that? Lincolnshire's answer to soul music.... I think there was actually one by Simon & Garfcukal 'emselves - t'was a bit of a stomper - maybe Pete S can help us here? I thought Evison played it between "Paint it black" Sitars shite and Lou Christie's "Lightning strikes" - bang ouch that hurt!

    She would have been too young.
  20. Yeah Black Wax in Streatham had these for 25p in the 70's and they sold it for t'other side too.
  21. Steve G replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    What an absolute banana! However I think there was a Simon & Garfunkel track played once - Dave Evison possibly? Not this one though.
  22. Steve G replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    Agree with Chalky - it's Ty. Her daughter came to prominence much later in the late 80's early 90's. Steve
  23. John has certainly played his share of turkeys over the years.
  24. Williams & Watson "Too late" Lou Pride ICHITM Triumphs Jimmy Raye "PDATW" Connie Clark MSB
  25. Now you are plunging the depths Paul - absolute "garbage" man!
