Is that the Groovesville Review 2 cd? Haven't got that so can't have a look. Whats a Lease Farm lol

Not sure about a demo for Motown cause it's a unissued Groovesville/Solid Hitbond production I think. Can be found on one of Goldmines Groovesville CD's. It's the Johnny Taylor of Stax fame. Rob Marriott the first to spin this in the 80's.

I honestly couldn't remember what he paid when asked elsewhere but it's been suggested 9k. I know he paid a damn sight more than the ones on ebay but there was still only three or so known copies at the time and no one saw what was coming witht he LA haul, even though folk in the know knew there was a large amount of records there. It al comes down to what you can afford and what you are wiling to pay. If you can afford £xxxx then all the price guides in the world are useless. Any price guide is just someones matter of opinion.

The Antellects did looked f*****!!! What price mint? The previous one on ebay bought by well known dj for £2500, pretty sure that one came from the LA haul. Can't remember who was selling latest one.

I went into a shop in Bluewater, Hope and Glory, they had in there a t-shirt with label scans on Eddie Whitehead, Startones on Billy Fran (I bought one). They also had t-shirt with the old Northern Noise cover on with crowd clapping and the word Monkeys on it, thought it a bit insulting when I saw it. They also had one about Samanthas. So it could be Hope And Glory your looking for.

Not a Guy spin but a Pat Brady spin. Covered as Howard Guyton.

Can work against you leaving negative feedback because they often go and leave a load of shit about you, bad payer, timewaster etc and folk finish up refusing to deal with you. Just tell him to go f*** himself and report to ebay. Thats what i'd do!!!

I don't think there was a release for these Howard. I've nothing listed and there's nothing on Recordmaster.com.

I'm pretty sure with e-bay you aren't allowed to say "bootleg" as it is illegal and therefore e-bay would be breaking the law. You do get some legit re-issues but the majority of "re-issues" are boots.

An original Herbert Hunter should have the Nashville Matrix stamped in the run out groove, you will spot it when you look. Boots often termed "re issues" or "second issues". Stick to buying originals. Not all are expensive, many cheap quality sounds out there.

the "boots" pressed with original capitol blanks? Same as a few others but missing the daisy? Thats why they look real. Also heard the story of the St Lawrence label, came from a guy who used to work for them and also doing the juke box run, forget who told me

You can get it off the internet if you know where to look, I did.

Antellects? Only seen one sold so far but was told a quantity Four Tracks Troy Dodds

There is a "genuine" vocal already of 6x6. Its a motown acetate and John Pugh owns it, I think he spun it at the 100 Club too some years ago. Oh, and it's utter shite too, absolutely terrible.

This has been booted but it's a ploain white label with a different arttist on the flip. Forget what flip is though. As far as I'm aware no lookalike boot.

Forgot to add that Tim Brown rates this at £800. Great records that did gain plays later on in the 80's. Tim's threatening to play it out so could get some of the exposure it deserves.

Hull version posted Mike, will do a edited version of the up down one later and post. 100 Club very good, attendences have been very good lately with many stopping till end. Some top tunes from Butch Mick, Ady Ni9ge Mayfield and Dave Rimmer. Tune of the nite has to be Butchs Gerri Taylor cover up "It's Beautiful" f****** brilliant would be big in any era this one. Magicians was good too and can't wait to hear the femme version. Who ever said there was no new sounds out there! This is what the scene is and alweays has been about for me, hearing quality new sounds. No point in travelling all the miles I do to hear the same old same every week. As for Lifeline tickets are available, anyone interested shout up and we'll sort summat. I will have some this week, Mick H and Andy do have them with them wherever they go. Rob won't be djing in Feb due to work and Cliff Steele has become a resident.

It's the same as Betty Everett and The Exceptionals if thats any use. Used to have it and did tape it before selling it, will try and find it. Chalky

this would probably set you back a tidy four figures now. Saw one last year only vg which went for £700.

The Hull version doesn't have the balls that the Up Down version has. The brass not as prominent and that fog horn brass whatever it is isn't there. I can post the Hull version in sounds if possible Mike or I can send you the RA and you can do it. Can send an edited version of the Up Down one, wouldn't want to send it unedited as I promised I wouldn't.

Personally though it was very good and so did virtually everyone I spoke to about it. Can'r wait to hear the female version that's lying in wait. Chalky

He got a lot from KTF Audio, including dozens I posted on the group. Personally think it's a great site for quick reference if you can't find some info or you want to hear a track being discussed in cyberspace.

Tony Galla original is in 3 designs Black/white dj, black issues with silver lettering and yellow with blue lettering. Boots are yellow with black letting. Johnny Hampton has Nashville Matrix stamp yellow label. Chalky

Just like to add total b******s too!!! Not a lot more I can add that hasn't already been said in defence of Mark. Personally saw nothing wrong with the article. You say a few good ones, I didn't see a bad one personally! The scene will always revolve round rare expensive records. Records of all prices have there part to play, and Mark does champion these but it is the rare records where much of the interest lies. Chalky
