I put it in a podcast in 2010 that was pretty popular, posted it on here with all the info, had been playing it a while prior to that, Andy Dyson as well had played it out. Other DJ's had played it out, Keb back in the 80's, I did hear it was played at the Mecca, think Levine mentioned it as he put it in a recent podcast I think, I'd have to listen again to check what he said. James Trouble was selling one on here in 2006 for £80 although for the other side, Shifty was selling one on his list on here in 2008 for £60. It was £75 or thereabouts 3, 4 or 5 years ago the ones I saw in sales boxes and lists etc. In 2011 it was already on the rise. Now it packs the floor. It matters little what a few anoraks think today. Karmello Brooks was £25 back in the 80's, try finding one today for less than £1500. Betty Lloyd was £30 all day long late 80's early 90's, now you'd have to part with several hundred quid, Dottie and Millie a fiver now it is £150 plus and I've seen hundreds more copies of that than Grier Brothers, Ruby Andrews the same and there's thousands of copies. The same can be said for countless records. We can all say it isn't worth this or that but it is irrelevant, it's what something sells for today that matters not 30 years ago and the Grier Brothers the last few I have seen have been in the price wise in the hundreds not tens of pounds. Supply and demand as they say and demand is out stripping supply of this right now.

Why ask Chris? He didn't find it, posts above say who found the track and how and where it was played first.

In Yorkshire slang a troll is a tw*t, I would use the "C" word but some don't like it

I think Flynny has updated his site with most of those I had that he didn't have. As for the Barons, I dunno, I will try and find out.

My Melba Moore anniversary 45 isn't tip exed out, this is my second copy, my first wasn't either as far as I can remember. Oh and it's 6T 2 from 1986.

Who cares what happened or what went pre 1990. A lot of money is spent on records so what £30 to £40 to protect them when on the move is a pretty indsignificant price for peace of mind.

Think this is latest one.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magma-LP40-Bag-II-black-black/111411068529?_trksid=p0.c100204.m3164&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140407115239%26meid%3D8385020536774848819%26pid%3D100204%26prg%3D20140407115239%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D20%26sd%3D251541924977

I can remember the Chubby Checker (Jimmy Radcliffe) "You can't lose something" was late and given out at one of the Yarmouth Weekenders but that was 1990 ish.

Sounds like a plan mate. We will sort something nearer time.

A release date of 20th October, my birthday looking forward to seeing it.

The anniversary one was the second anniversary 45 1986 (6th anniversary). Keb and Ady had been playing it Stafford and 100 Club and anywhere where they dj'ed for a couple of years. I thought the Horace release was towards the end of the 80's, I certainly don't remember seeing it until after the anniversary release.

I got to number 6 with last one with fewer listens than quite a few below, I'd also had more listens than some above

We used to have something like this with the Artist and label of the week, some great info posted.

Scarce means insuffucient to meet demand, rare means not many at all.

Maybe it sold a few so a second run done, maybe the arranger wasn't happy with no credit?

I have this and last weeks on the ipod to listen to this week. As well as these I have four Soul discovery, Ady Pountain's June upload and Steve G's latest sgow.....loads a soul

I'll be there in November, Andy Djing so will make me annual trip down with him.

I think because people don't have to use it or are not reminded like other places, ebay, amazon etc then they aren't going to use it. I'm not sure if you can set this up to remind individuals to use it on the forum set up? Maybe a shop type set up if available where individual sellers have their own page?

I've never heard of him going to prison either?
