Yes

The first boot which was very good boot, only half dozen had the date stamp, a mate did them. There is a later look a like too.

Great nights run by Allan Coney and Col Denham. Few live tapes courtesy of Allan if anyone interested inn listening. Franc Giacobbe, Ion and Kitch on this one.... https://www.mixcloud.com/Chalkster/bishop-auckland-rugby-club-rare-soul-1998/

Was it done at the same as the Little Johnny Hamilton Keep On Moving (white label?0 presses? Was it Gaz Kellet and the Preston Cybermen with the t-shirt?

Bets magazine of them all for me although all titles were great reads. Have all SOS and a few spares.

Any more issues yet Sean? Great to read again and picked up a few titles for some Stafford podcasts as well.

Do you know who said thief is?

They were issued on Tie but as for an acetate, could be but could very well be an emidisc.

MOM is far superior, why it was never flipped at Casino/Central I'm not sure as it would have gone down a storm even then. MOM and Rita both superior to Milton James as well.

Sir Joe, loads love it, many willing to pay for it too. One mans meat an all that......

Tim Browns latest has one.

Two on Doré. Swans "Nitty Gritty City" and Little Johnny Hamilton "Keep On Movin" both one offs as far as I know.

I think one I have is called Soul On CD, about 6 issues, all with a free cd.

I have a couple of titles that came with a CD, not sure if this is one. I will have to check.

I thought it was the going rate these days? Have seen it sold for less as well in recent years.

Lonely Lonely is Roy Haggins on lead and not Morris. Sounds very much like Morris but it isn't.

Harry Starr is not a pseudonym for anyone. He was married to one of the Spellbinders, Elouise Pennington I think. Chris Lalor will confirm. I did a cd of Harry's material which his grandson opened. I tried to get some info out of Ella but she wouldn't talk about him, bit of a rum un by all accounts.

Eddie Parker been through ebay and private sale as well in recent times. Quite a few copies in the hands of collectors and DJ's Most records mentioned copies have surfaced. Inspirations probably the one with just the four known copies that have been known of for some time now. Larry Clinton good few demos about but just the three red issues. Kell Osborne, just the three known copies? Same for Junior McCants, two or three only known. Many of the so called rarest of the rare, copies have surfaced.

It has been fetching upwards £200 and in the odd case more but for a VG copy non way. I would say £175 is is a fair price for a decent copy but if someone daft enough to pay £250 for a VG copy then it is up to them.....but it sets a marker other sales will follow.

Narrated by Neil Sedaka, and excellent insight into The Brill Building, the music, the artists and the characters. Two parter, first can be got on demand and second is tonight at 10. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05sfhnp

I'm glad you enjoyed it Mal. I bet most who participated went on line though. But my point was it isn't hard to see why independent record stores are struggling and closing when you see the prices be asked. Lp's twice the price they should be. As Mike says cut the middle man out and go to the label directly if they have a store. It would make far better business sense to cut the price and sell more wouldn't it? I'd love to see the stores thriving, we don't have one in our town, but I'm not going to be taken for a mug paying over the odds for essentially reissue LP's, wouldn't mind if it was unreleased material.
