Hi all Been asked about selling my El Corols "Chick chick" on Rouser. Near mint. I guess I don't play it too much now. I see its gradually been going up in price. Any ideas? Been offered a part trade part cash deal but I think its worth a bit more than I've been offered. Thoughts appreciated. Also I'm after a nice copy of Shane Martin I need you on UK CBS. Demo or stock. While i think about it wouldn't mind a Ethics "I want my baby back" on Vent. Get in touch with info. Thanks Rob

Must have cos I don't have it !

Someone has offered me Ann caudell longing for you. It's mint but it has a very very slight warp. I mean tiny. Not affecting play. He wants a bloody high price for it so I ain't gonna buy it unless I have a buyer lined up. If you want one call me on 07808 253553 with your top offer ?

Hi folks It's the 3rd batch of soul / R'n'B 45's on offering on ebay. Have a look and have a bid if ya fancy it. All the best and good luck Soul / R'n'B 45s - click here Rob

Correct sound clip added ! I did this on my phone and soul source doesnt seem to like working very well on mobiles !!

Thought I'd auction this as there was a lot of interested and I think it got a bit lost in the list of others so here is a pic. Condition VG. Plays ok but a few scuffs. Rare Atlanta funky soul 45 All those who contacted me your offers are in. So I've got it all locked in not my actual copy on the clip !!!

Next batch of my collection to go. Some rare northern plus UK 60s soul 45's and some mod jazz & R'n'B. Last time I did them on ebay with a low start. Some went for good money - others went way below their "worth" (subjective I know) so this time I thought I'd offer them here before doing ebay. Anything you want make an offer but don't be offereing me £40 for a £100 record.

Thanks Ricky. Would like to know more about the artist / label / why its so obscure / how many were pressed up etc

Can anyone shed any light on this. I've put it in as a search and it comes up that there is a re-issue on Wheedons box set of Seattle 45s, and a few people mention it in wants or playlists but can't seem to find any discussions about the original. There are none showing on popsike so its either never made big money or one has never come up for sale. It doesn't even have an entry in Discogs except as part of the previously mentioned box set. So what is the story. Who's playing it out? What's the difference between the repro and the original? When did it originally get released ? Any info appreciated. Rob
