--> QUOTE(mark.b @ Sep 21 2005, 11:17 PM) link mark h have emailed them with order if they have it will let you know they quite often do not have what they list mark Hi Mark, As this is the last record listed in Timmmys price guide is it fair to assume you only need this 45 to own every record listed in it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blake H

Yep and so is the High Keys! Mr Big Shot has the best sax solo ever imo BH

You always did have great taste Dave!!! Blake H

Sorry folks this was meant to be posted in the "Rarest of the rare 70s/modern" thread

I've had this 45 for years but never seen another, Iv'e been putting it on tapes/cd-r for years and nearly everyone asks about this track Its a great modern tune the sort Bob Cosby or Plummy would play.BH

Hi Folks, Anyone got a copy of Al Williams "The other side of your love" Crajon for sale? Best BH

As soul packs are now consigned to the history of our scene, It struck me that a lot of younger collectors will never have the pleasure of getting a box of records in the post and playing through them and finding records they might never have bought. I remember at a Leeds record fair (Astoria) packs of ten 45s for £2 wrapped in cellophane the record showing on every pack...W/D of Bessie Banks on Quality!!!! My best soul pack was a "Florida Pack" from Soul Bowl ie 100 florida labels for £25 loads of great stuff oh and Purple Mundi. What was your best soul pack? BH

Jackie Ross definatley sings "Nude Lover" and not "New Lover" BH

I was looking at Kitch's play list for the Gothenburg allnighter in 2004 and he has listed Al Mcarthur "Bring it home" (Unissued) Anyone know if its the b side or another track or just a made up name for a c/u. BH

Hi all, has anyone got a copy of Mike Williams "Lonely Soldier" on uk Atlantic to replace a copy I very foolishly sold. I know its been reissued but would like UK if possible. Best BH

£45 from Ian Clark at Gt Yarmouth in april, he's always worth a phone call! BH

I always sing "Pea soup to treat him" for the first line of "Girls are out to get you" Fascinations and a non soul lyric I never worked out was "Mouling I was mouling in a plastic bag" from Chicory Tip "Son of my father" BH

We reckon its "COSTLY" piece of jewellery BH

For me its Ian Dewhirst (Frank) at Leeds Central/Wigan/Cleethorps, BH

I remember going to "Rookie Ricardos" in San Francisco about 86 and whilst I was looking for records he would put on records from my pile on the counter and do the right dance for that tune. It was great watching all these dance crazes I'd only heard of on the records, he even had me trying to do the hully gully!! As I'm sure people who know him will confirm he's a real character. He also had a fantastic graffiti style mural on one wall in the shop of people dancing. Found Andy Fisher,Tate,Dynamics(rca) so it was a great day all round. BH

Three 45s I'm thinking of selling/auctioning but would like to know a rough valuation. Mary Ellen "Forgetfulness" Gramo Robert Walker "Time keeps ticking by" / "Hot lady" Lu-tall Harold Melvin "Get out" French Vogue (with titled sleeve) This is the french issue from 1975 at the same time as the Uk Route issue. Thanks in anticipation BH

Some of those have been in your box for years Pearson new titles please!!! Nicky says hello. Blake

Its in Timmys price guide as a 45 and I'm sure me old mate Dave Horner had it on 7"

Hi all, Can anyone in soul land help me get Leon Bryant "I can see me loving you" De lite 45 Blake H

Hi paul, I obtained about 10 of these cds when I sold my collection to Manny (big mistake!) I can certainley burn them for you but would prefer some cdrs in return let me know. Blake H

r u off to Yarmuff?

Maybe you would like to see the letter he sent me saying how foolish he had been and I would have my money shortly. Yet again no money ever arrived. The 60 45s he took wern't crap and each would have had a nominal value of at least £5 making a debt of £400. I dont know about your finances but £400 is not an amount you just forget. I like many others has had records go from my sales box and its tough tits and i've had people take a record away to play and never seen them again, but for a so called mate to do the dirty on you deserves to be named. Please look at the opening strand to this topic my story fits perfectly. Blake H

A few years ago i gave a so called friend free access to about 40,000 45s. This was the bulk of a job lot i bought from the us. I let this person take records away so he could play them at home etc, when i sold him records they were always very cheap, he would buy multiple copies of some tunes (nick nack paddy wack) again i had no trouble with this. When i was forced to sell my records he asked for one last trawl through, the final deal came to £200 and he wanted to take 60 45s for a second listen. He paid me £150 therefore owing me £50 plus any 45s he wanted to buy. You know whats coming next I guess, that was the last time I saw this person. The real pisser was that the deal was done on a handshake and in my book that is my bond. I will always refund any deal done on a handshake. Well after trying to contact him/his girlfriends father/co-promoters/ I decided to send a solicitors letter, still no reply. I am not a violent person and it would be so easy to send a gorilla round to sort this lowlife out but its not me. I will have my money one day. Since telling this tale I've heard several similar stories about him so beware. So there is no misunderstanding about this post my name is Blake Helliwell formerly of Leeds now York. So stand up you are named and shamed........LEE MILLER formerly from Kent now residing in Whinmoor Leeds, Well known mod/r&b dj. You willgive me what you owe me Lee. P.S. Is a handshake to a Mod a meaningless gesture, I doubt it. Blake H
