No. Not me. Phil

That's it's charm. The sheer non-perfection of it. Brilliant! I'm not aware of any more records he made. But just imagine there may be a tape or an acetate somewhere of a version of Fascinating Girl with barrel organ accompaniment Phil

I know what you mean. With the odd one or two I've now got back just about every record that i sold, and am now underway with the project to get every record i ever wanted. That project will take me beyond my lifetime however, as I want 'em all Amd it is exciting to watch auctions and to take part in them. I have mostly sworn off ebay now but when a "must have" turns up i can't help meself. Phil

Yeah but like I've said so many times before, anything's worth what someone will pay for it. Over the years I've had so many stuff for next to nowt it kind of evens itself out - Moments on Hog - $2.00 (sold for £990), Danny Moore $0.25 (sold for £1000), George Lemons - $1.00 (sold for £1400). If I'm driving up prices on stuff then sorry (not really ). I sold quite a few of my bigger stuff years ago when I was out of work and skint. Mostly to dealers who took advantage of my circumstances. Now I am blessed to be in a position to be able to pay, within reason, whatever it takes to get them back. Phil

Yes. But just like Ray Pollard I wanted it. I used to have it and sold it 10 years ago (for £1400 so the inflations not that much really) when skint. I have an ambition to get back every record that i ever had. And I will. Phil

Please do. It's good to have 2 copies of anything if possible. Phil

Absolutely! And just goes to prove that all those naysayers who spout on about Wigan being just about poppy cr*p are talking utter ballcocks My Wigan years (78-81) gave first time airings to probably some of the best tunes this scene ever has or will see. Phil

Without a shadow of a doubt Phil

Court Davis now sorted

SC is sheer soul perfection. There are a couple of more recent interpretations that also hit the spot for me. One by Lauryn Hil. The other by The Gospel phil

No. Not aware of problems with any Ebay seller. Just that I have seen the light and Ebay is no longer the way to buy records for me. Phil

Couple more added. Please PM with price & condition if you have any of them. Thanks Phil

Being totally honest, I only go to certain venues to flyer for my own event. And to others to hear great music and have a good time. I've been to some great events recently though with brill tunes. Phil

Yes. I rarely DJ anywhere apart from my own infrequent nights these days, and do enjoy going out and about. Though I don't go out as much as I used to. Phil

Thanks. I normally win by just putting in a series of ever increasing bids. I win some and lose some. I'll give it a go. Phil

Couple of wants. please PM with price and condition. Court Davis - The Lover Who Loves You Not The Poets - Wrapped Around Your Finger Don Gardner - Cheating Kind Trends - Thanks For A Little Lovin' Cheers Phil

I would quite like it, but I won't be winning it. I've taken some wise advice and now am not bidding on Ebay. I was gonna go up to $5k ish on this but no more. Thankfully my "test" bid of $3888 has now been beat. I'll stick to "proper" sources from now on. No point paying over the odds any more. Phil

Actually you're right. No point paying over the odds if not needed. I just hate losing. Phil

Maybe so for some. But, speaking just for myself, I like to put a reasonable bid in early just to see how far to push. It gives some ida of how much it may go to. Not sure if I'm "that" interested in this one. I know it's rarer than the Ray Pollard I won recently (which is actually in beautiful nick BTW ) but I'll deffo be going to $5k or so. Phil

My current will specifies that my records get destroyed. However, I am thinking of changing it. It would be quite nice instead to have them distributed throughout various charity shops, and think of the glee on peoples faces as they find a bargain. Phil

and Darrow Flether - "Little Girl", flip to "What Good Am I ..." (Jacklyn 1006). Another stunner. Phil

Brothers Of Soul - "The Love I Found In You", Flip to "Come On Back" (Boo 1005). Absolutely awesome! Phil
