I'm at the record fair in Chicago and a dealer has this fantastic northern soul 45. Sheepherders with Bubba Bailey "If you need me" I never heard it before. I played it and it is really good $2500. I aint paying that unless I know I can shift it. It's a near mint copy. I can probably haggle a bit off so if anyone is interested let me know asap as I got one more day (Sunday) to do any deal. Best to text me on 0044 7808 253553 as i may not be able to check this group.

Any soul / Motown fans out there want a stone cold mint Blinky & Edwin Starr "Oh how happy" demo ? Its the wthdrawn 45 TMG 720. Came from a company rep. Unplayed. In company sleeve. £400

Stolen record: Wilson Williams I got a whole lot to be thankful for / Honey rock Today or possibly last week at the record fair I had this stolen. If anyone sees one being offered for sale or knows of anyone who suddenly acquired one let me know. Its a pretty obscure deep soul 45 with a dancer on the flip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXBEP9NinKM

Assume this is gone?

Ha ha. I'm back ! Been awhile since I logged in. I'm terrible at this sort of thing. Anyway thanks for positive comments. 1st one was awesome. Took a while to fill up as its a big venue and we're on the top floor so they have to find us. Good night though and the crowd were enthusiastic about it all. Next one is 3rd May. See ya there folks.....!

Nice one Ollie If you come down say hi and we'll have a chat Rob
