I didnt mean you in particlar Eddie your lists are always interesting and well priced. The free market usually means a race to the bottom, think pensions, think healthcare, think transport. The free market dictates that those who can do it cheaper get the business, hence no local shops and Asda/Tescos raking it in. Small dealers are your corner shops, ebay is your Tescos. If we all shop in Tesco's/Ebay becuase its cheaper, we loose the corner shops/dealers and ebay/tescos get bigger and richer. As soon as they get bigger richr the quality of the product s driven down in order to maintain business. Thats how the free market works. I dont mind taking a few pounds off a sports shop by getting my trainers cheaper on ebay, but that same action for vinyl could put some people out of business very quickly. And dont get me started on "Free Speech" - that old chestnut only applies if your white, male and upperclass!

... and look what a mess that has made of the country Fingers off the big red self destruct button... the NS scene operates in a slightly different microcosm, a race to the bottom will eventually put dealers out of business, and valuable resources and knowledge will be lost.

Its in my box (at last!) and I am playing it to cheer me up as I write this (off work sick) so its my record of the day! class in abundance Donald Jenkins and the Delighters - Somebody Help Me - Courtland 112

Had this one on last night Did he ever make a bad record? Harold Burrage - You made me so happy - Mpac £10 (if that)

Some PVA glues can stain the vinyl, be careful test it on a beater first Better still use I.P.A. (not beer isopropyl) mixed with water 1 to 4 parts and a little spot of antibacterial soap, work it in with a clean toothbrush and dry with kitchen towel. J

From the very back of the box, not spun it for a while, common as muck and mega cheap but well classy Apologies if its a re-post! Mary Wells - The Doctor - Jubilee

Following for trade, difficult to find and not played out, nice examples of soul/R&B: Estimated Value in brackets 1. J.R. Johnson - I'm Just a lover - Winner 3384 VG+ (£30-£50) Manship lists as very rare indeed! (clip actual record) 2. Bobby Dunn - Don't Treat Him as a Stranger - Master 101 vinyl M- (flip side has small tear in label, must have occurred at pressing) (£30-£50) Again Manship lists as very very rare, just needs playing out!! (clip actual record, note all copies of this record have background hiss) 3. Watson and Sherlocks - Standing on the Corner - Soulville M- (I played it once to check it, label not stuck on straight, record seemingly not affected) (£15-£20) 4. Fabulous Denos - Once I had a love/Bad Girl - King G (battered but plays through) (£10-£15) Current wants: Robin Rice - I've had it, Profiles - You don't care about me, Freddy Gorman - In a Bad Way, Rudy Mockabee - Sweet Thing, Billy Hambric Talk to Me - Fury - but looking for any good tunes really, get in touch!
