Shame about the poor quality of the original take, would love to hear it and see it released.

On LaBeat?

You'll be telling us there is no Easter Bunny or Santa Claus next

don't ever recall reading that or Elaine saying so either.

As far as I am aware the unreleased Motown Rod Shard sourced from Robb Klein (Robb K on here) was first played at one of the SASofGB events in Manchester by Dave Withers in late 81 (October?). Richard said he played TLSH late Wigan after getting an acetate?

solid centre alright They are counterfeits not bootlegs

I was thinking that myself because the wording for the arranger, producer and music publishing look in the right place whereas the ones shown when this kicked off ran off the label and the chain was also broken.

Ask Ady he usually has some.

There was an interview with Martha on Radio 4 not so long back, probably still available on iPlayer.

Really sad news. Had the respect of everyone. R.I.P. John.

If it is monarch pressed it will have MR in a circle followed by the Delta symbol and number. The delta Numbering system was not exclusive to Monarch.

No soft cover is planned so says JM.

Sy Hightower - I Know Youre Leaving Me

this is all I can find online about the deaths.....

Sound files and scans are of the actual record. The Spidells - Pushed Out Of The Picture - Coral VG+ £100 Covered up as James & The 4 Souls by Guy Hennigan at Stafford. Some slight label wear as you can see from the scan. Spidells - Pushed Out Of The Picture - Coral.mp3 Sylvia St. Claire - Just Love Me - Brunswick VG+ VG+ £120 Nice issue, tougher than the demo in my experience. Again a Guy Hennigan spin at Stafford covered up as Patty Austin "Come Back to Me" Sylvia St Clair - Just Love Me - Brunswick.mp3 Postage £7.50 special delivery. Payment by Paypal (F&F preferred to avoid fees).

The card pre cut costs just a few quid, I get them via soundswholesale on ebay. I will be using the E/2 padded envelopes next time I buy. I simply don't trust the card mailers, especially abroad.

I know card envelope mailers are standard but they really aren't the best at absorbing shock and giving maximum protection. Post office small print only really covers you if the record is in a jiffy type bag.

Postage from the US increased a couple of months ago. I would question why a 45 was $22 though.

I charge £2.50 for first class recorded, actula postage cost is about £2.37. I round it up to cover a new mailer, card stiffners and labels etc. £1.50 for first class and £7.50 recorded. If it is over £15 it goes recorded and ober £40 special delivery as you are not covered for the cost if anything goes wrong. i ask for F&F if they know and trust me but there is no pressure to pay that way. I wouldn't pay F&F if somewhere not sure about or I don't know the buyer/seller's reputation.

All 61 mixes that cover the Stafford Story so far have been added to mixcloud. I can now record a few new ones as still a fair few tracks not yet covered.

It would appear they formed the nucleus of MFSB a few years later.

It's a New Orleans label if I remember rightly and it isn't Harvey Fuqua. It is Harvey Jesus I believe. Google will throw his name up.

Wasn't Nev Wherry responsible for it round that way?

What is in the deadwax of the respective releases, L Allen and Larry.
