Jim Ohara

Thanks james for the comments ( not the dickhead ones though) Only slight regret that I have 20 years on is that I probably should have did a spot However As you well know I didn't want it to end up being the same as every nighte in the land where the promotor was trying to promote himself and not the music There were guys like you and andy and keith and colin etc. and all the rest who were collecting before I did and I wanted to tip my hat to that and let you lot do the business - which you did Ayyway, I had enough to fucking do with police, front door, volumes, heating, coffee bar, ozzy............. Brilliant days indeed we were all mad for it

Chalky Could not have put it better myself Just a room full of loons have a great time Fucking awesome it was and Well done andy for starting this thread God the records that were really "made" at Allanton is astounding f*ck I bet I'm not the only one who wished they could just wiz that clock back for just 1 more night - 1 more that's all And get some of that great gear that was on the go at the time too - just to top it all off Oh and one more thing - sorry 2 more things Someone to run the night for me, sou can enjoy it a bit more And someone to keep ozzy in a cupboard with his vacuum - for those that don't remember there was a night when I went a bit mental at him as he was running around hoovering the floor !!!! Funny now though!!! Getting all welled up I am- a big fuckin softy at heart The best days of my life, and for everyone that contributes to these Allanton posts ( i cant name everyone!!!) a massive thank you for making it what it was - fuckin awesome I think it will live in everyone's memory who went as one of the best all round nighters there was Thanks all - now where's this hankies!!! Jim Chalky - I promis I will get the article done mate!!!!

Top stuff Tony, quality from start to end

did this sell duncan?

Well said Bri, and glad to see you can handle a little banter good luck with your search jim

dave could not agree more mate GG is common and is for sale alot at present around the price you mention - BUT - are they selling? not a £100 record IMO as i mentioned in another post, just pecause a RARE 45 has gone from £100 to £500 as its now clear that it IS rare, that doesnt mean that a £20 fairly common record becomes £100 jim

ladies relax im entitled to my opinion as are you all i suggest end of thread best jim

Hi Pete i have no problem with you enjoing a mix of pop and soul or anything else for that matter i aslo enjoy other types of music and have a great acceptance for history - bowie, johnny cash etc.etc. - but when it comes to soul, i just prefer it to be soul, thats all mate my only point was that when there are so many great black soul records, i really just dont see the point BTW you are right George Lemmons (spelling!!!!) - holy shit that is a dreadful record best for now

LISTEN as the person who made the original comment that this record is NOT fantastic, i stand by my comments If the original poster has taken this the wrong way and thus decided to leave the forum, then i'm sorry about this, but this is his decision HOWEVER, we are all adults here and i do feel that we are intitled to our opinion my opinion was the record is NOT fantastic and cleary quite a few agree with me I'm kind of tired people raving about records that IN MY OPINION are merely average at best There are millions of quality soul records out there at various prices and genres which are liked by various people Whatever happened to people with "balls" who are not afraid to voice their opinion To the original poster - i wish you all the best in whatever you do musically Best to all Jim

Sorry pete but with so many quality records of black origin I just don't see a place for records like this

Elkie Brooks? Isn't this a soul site Holy f*ck what's going on here?

Only my opinion of coarse, but is someone taking the piss here You can't be serious that this is fantastic? Pleasant at most - come on have another listen Fantastic? NOT My opinion only

True Nev as i say, such is life (and collecting rare soul)

Spot on Marc, and this is the whole problem with people paying a lot of cash for records Ah well such is life I suppose!!

There you go stu Unplayed at 150, so I'm sure you will get one that's used for 100 Good pricing though pete Jim

I would agree Dave - absolute tops if needed desperately But I am unsure if all these actually sell? Jim

f*ck it, I'm sure I have a spare £20k upstairs somewhere Think ill put in a bid for that amount - that would really piss some people off Great record though, simply one of the best - but ALOT of candy!!!

As one of the earlier post states, these used to be around all the time Seem them on here for between 150 and 200 - BUT, do they always sell? I certainly would not pay anywhere near 200 - it's just not that rare Sit tight, wait for one around 100, and make an offer They are on sale pretty regular But if you pay 200, you would need your arse severely kicked Only my opinion of course Jim

Fcukin madness £900 for this - I could buy tons of better soul records for half this amount Fcukin madness

Wasn't referring to you pete - your prices are fair It's the other muppets I'm referring to Sorry muppets if you are offended!!!! But get real!

Your prices were fair dave, that's why you sold them I see people on SS selling the same records time and time again - reason - they are too fucking expensive - HELLO - wake up and smell the coffee Just because a £100 record is now £300 as its proved to be quite hard to get, it doesn't mean that an easy to get £10 is now worth £30!!!!! Get real record sellers - if you want to sell, price them correctly

Melvin Davis £90???? Best of luck mark!

Eh no links Gav??.

Hey al Nice common cheap stuff again mate! Nice tunes, but Don't know the Davis Thomas Did you sell your Four Voices? Also, I shouldn't really ask, but what about a melvin Davis on groovesville? & ed cooper on nimrod? Best Jim
