I've got a white demo in Ex condition. How much is a fair price? £75.00?, £100.00?

Lanier & Co - one of the best tracks ever. Irrespective of decade. Phil

I used to do a bit of DJ'ing. I was never particularly good at it, but did usually enjoy it. I always liked to play a mix of class but rare oldies with (to my ears) class lesser known stuff. I don't have a clue about what tunes are "in" nowadays, but my philosophy always used to be to just keep buying more vinyl. I appreciate it's more difficult now with Ebay etc etc. But surely there are, even now, tons and tons of really great records that never get played? My frustration used to always be the "me too" sets played by so many DJ's on the scene - plenty of money but no imagination or nerve. I don't go anywhere anymore so can't comment if it's like that now, but I suspect it is. Anyway I'm now a fan of digital music. I'm in the process of converting all my vinyl (which I never play anymore) to high quality digital files. So if anyone has a want list - send it to me Phil

Have Dramatics on a demo but it's yellow! has a "demonstration sample not for sale" sticker on it. As does my copy of Abstract Reality, so i don't think somebody just stuck it on for a laugh.

They are, Carolinas. And still performing to this day. I wasn't insinuating that Hazel Martin was Paris. Just saying who he was. If Hazel Martin was indeed Paris then he was a long way from home

Hazel Martin was vocalist for the Tempests (Smash)

But Mike your dealings were not at all similar to those claimed by the others ?? What others by the way?? Just one person, Mr Karl, seems to have a problem with me, and I am still awaiting the details of what I am supposed to have done. Once I have them I will sort out anything that needs to be sorted. So now you figure that you're "lucky" to have got your money back? Why? If you felt that you'd been "ripped off" or mistreated in any way, you certainly never indicated that previously.

That's correct. And actually true, and you were refunded in full, yes? And not "eventually", as soon as requested. I may have done some dodgy stuff in the past, although I still don't remember Mr Karl's incident, but have offered to right any wrong that I may have done if he lets me know the details etc of it. But, I have behaved with complete integrity in the last 2 1/2 years at least. If I have wronged you in any way Mike, or if I owe you any money then let me know. Phil

Can't say that it does to be honest. Does sound like the kind of thing I used to say though, but only when provoked. Please send me the full communication trail. This isolated comment, supposedly from me, doesn't enlighten me to the situation at all. And, as I stated previously, forward me the full details and if there's anything to be sorted out. I'll sort it. When did all this occur by the way? Phil

I play Sax (alto) to a rather mediocre standard, and do a bit of singing. I can play a few Northern tunes on the sax to a reasonable (to my ears) standard.

Please feel free to give me the details of my "scam". I have done many things in my former life of which I was ashamed, although I don't recall scamming any swedes amongst that unsavoury list. If I did then I am perfectly willing, upon receipt of the full details, to sort the problem out. I have sold records to many people (including many on here - Pete-S,Bearsoul, Soul Stormers to name but a few) over the years, and I would like to think that mostly folks have been happy with the transaction. I do object to being called an "ugly fish" though. Phil

I have a Tay-Ster demo of this that could go. What's the going rate on it? Cheers Phil

Depends how much?

You can see that we absolutely spared no expense in their production

Flippin' Eck Derek. You've got two of mine there - Griffin & Queens Hall. I don't even have one of either of 'em. Do you want to donate them to me?

This must be Johnny Ryan. I used to hang around with him quite a lot 20 plus years ago. Not seen him for at least a decade though

PM'd you Julian

I have a UK Polydor one which i don't mind selling. What's it go for? Phil

The one you're thinking of is by Tammi Lavette and is called summat like 7 days is too long, and it's a great track. Simon White or Neil Rushton would know for sure. Phil

I have one for sale if anyone's interested? Slight edge warp that does not affect play. Otherwise EX condition. Any sensible offer will be considered. Always made me smile - label called green light but it's actually red Phil

Hi, I have this in M- condition. if interested please PM me an offer. Cheers Phil

Hi, I've got GW 27 Barbara Mercer - The things we do togather GW 38 Debonaires - Big time fun Let me know if you still want, and PM me an offer. Cheers Phil

A few I've been playing today. Phil

Got copies of most of the releases including lots of garage type stuff from the label owner Jack (i think) Checkaway, and he told me this (Rachmaninov) too. The label is still actually going today, producing indie rock stuff Phil

Which one was he after, and did you get it for him? If not I may be able to help out. Bob Lee gave me just about everything they ever released on his labels. Phil
