Where on earth does this guy's accent come from?

Nice idea Greg, I'm out here in Europe now (Copenhagen) and thinking I'd like to do the same in the states at some point. Get back home to visit old friends and family while touring playing records (and digging too, of course). Good luck with your gigs!

unfortunately, this is becoming more and more true of our regular venue here in Copenhagen. I guess it can be fun if you yourself are pissed, but to call it a crowd of serious soulies is a far cry. A few of us here are aiming at trying to find a new venue with a more suitable dance floor and where hopefully a more dedicated crowd comes. it's fun to have a balance of both, but as a DJ for me the real reward is playing to people who know and love this music... dance floor or not.

so excellent, thanks for sharing Pete!

My contribution:

Amazing prices for the Occasions and Winfield Parker, two of my favorite spins!

Man, high on my wants list at the moment. Fabulous record!

Amped for Copenhagen!

Might be worth posting in Disco Sales forum on facebook, there are lots of french collectors and sellers in there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/discorecords/

Right, then it should be filed under "Rare Demo - AWFUL record"

Those Omen demos are a thing of beauty though

I thought we were all collectively trying to forget "The Snake"?

I'm loving it, very "charming" raw production. not a whole lot of info out there about it, seems. Is it a fairly rare one? I know some of his 70's outings command pretty good prices...

Velvets with Louis Presean - Estelle Parker/I Love You (A Thousand Ways) (Bofuz) EX+ - £70 (SOLD) I would dare to say truly in M- condition, pretty sure it came to me as a stock copy and has had minimal spins.

Will be back on Backstreet in the future, hope to see you out there with us soon Steve! Thanks again for the kind words. All the best!

A friend of mine here in ol' Denmark's brother in the states found the current auction copy of the Court Davis record. I believe in Boston? Can't remember where exactly, but I know it was found on a dig for a jaw-droppingly lower price than its going for now. He's a rockabilly collector and had no interest in it, so he passed it on to JM. Or thats what I was told, at least!

Sorted now, thanks to all who replied

looking for a VG+ or better copy, anyone got a spare?

Cheers Steve, were you there?

Brothers Of Soul - Come On Back / The Love I Found In You (Boo) VG condition, some ring wear and a bit of water damage to the label, but plays extremely strong, with only light surface marking. Excellent copy for playing out, sounds the business over some big club speakers! £25 + shipping from Denmark.

DAMN! I don't know how this one slipped under my radar, but I need it. NOW.

little bit more on the disco tip and I'm sure you already know it, but O'Jays - I Love Music has a similar vibe for me.. good cheap one too! some other suggestions for that feel-good vibe: Edwin Starr - Runnin' Back And Forth Ujima - I'm Not Ready Reachers - I just Wanna Do My Own Thing Flame N' King - Ho Happy Day Wes Black - I Feel Good (Feelin' Good) The Crow - Your Autumn Of Tomorrow Continental Showstoppers - We're Not Too Young

just got A Tint Of Darkness - Answer Me on Darkness in a trade. fine slice of Bay Area modern/crossover that sounds the business and went over well on a gig on Thursday.
