Thanks mate. No chat room today so no banter. But should be fixed for next week. Cheers Phil

Hi all, https://www.presencefm.com The Soul Train on as usual live @ 5pm - 6pm, playiong a mix of Northern & rare soul as usual with the emphasis on quality 60's. Before that 4pm-5pm a new show from me - Soul & Salvation, a mix of general soul across the decades, R&B, Nu-Soul & Gospel toons. A little different but you never know you may like it Cheers Phil

CD release without paying license fees perhaps? Or am I just an old cynic? Phil

Yeah. Great sound. In fact I'm gonna bang it on the decks the minute I get home from work Phil

Five under 20 from me. Mixed bag but all great (to my ears anyway) Bettye Swann - My Heart Is Closed For The Season Lou Rawls - How Do You Say I Don't Love You Anymore Cicero Blake - Take It From Me Intruders - Check Yourself Robert Knight - Branded Phil

I have Poets issue available. Phil

Yep. because he didn't pull those out until AFTER we'd done the deals on the others. It was an excruciating 10 hous of dealing, chatting, drinking beer, eating chilli and buying a few records. The Magnetics came out about 15 minutes before I had to leave to go to the airport. I paid all the dollars i had left as a deposit.

I had two, yes TWO copies of this in my hand in Detroit in 1994. On the last day of a trip to the US. Agreed the price ($300 each). Put a deposit down (no dollars left, credit cards virtually max'ed out), having taken the W/D's of Jock Mitchell, Duke Browner, Dena Barnes and a rather nice copy of a little record by The Moments on Hog (sold to Mr Willingham in '96). Got back to UK, got over the jetlag and rang the guy to arrange the wire transfer of the funds only to be told that some other British guy had had them. Not 100% sure who (never found out), but believe it was Pete Lowrie. Total sickener. Got me own back though, on the same trip I bought a Danny Moore for $3.00 and sold it to Mr Lowrie for £1000 Phil

Yep Poets on J2, lickle record shop that I'm sure a few on here know on W.63rd st, Chicago Phil

Makes me sick to think of how little I sold it for (£300). Mind youi only paid 12 dollars for it, so it's not so bad after all

Possibly one of the best Northern double siders ever.

1 group I believe. Had releases on RCA & Impact. Well that's what I've got records by 'em on. Phil

Should I auction it?

Mint UK demo yours for £12 plus P&P Cheers Phil

Good find Quite strange that the time listed on this issue is 15 seconds less than that on my white demo (see earlier post). Wonder why? maybe by the time they got round to issuing it they realised the time was wrong or summat? Phil

Yep. Big Mistake. Big mistake also playing a cracked record on those decks at Spoofers Good do that Spoofers. Better than the nighter in many ways Phil

I have Timebox on US Deram. May let it go if the price is right. Please PM me off list. Cheers Phil

I have one available that will be a bit cheaper. It's got a crack right the way through it but it doesn't affect play other than a little click on the run in. Been held together with sellotape on the other side since 1989 when i sat on it. Any good? Mail me off-list. Phil

It was meeee Well Gary's on now. But I played all the good stuff Only joking mate Phil

Amazing how prices go up innit? I swapped a White Demo of this for a pine wardrobe & bedside cabinet 6 years ago. After mucho pressure from the missus The pine wardrobe is still in immaculate condition, how's about a swap Russ? You know it makes sense Phil

I'm probably playing devils advocate here but why should anyone have the "right" to exclusivity on a record that they didn't perform, produce etc etc just because they managed to obtain a copy. I can sort of understand why someone would be a bit peeved if 50 copies of a record they paid big money for turned up the follwing week, but that's just the way it goes sometimes innit?

Hi Mate, We're doing OK cheers. How's you & Bev? I would let this go (reluctantly) as I have loads of different jerhart copies but what kind of price would you offer? BTW Kim's wanting me to take her & the littlun to Disney this year so we may just drop in on you:) Cheers Phil

I don't know anything about the Mica release of this particular record. With regards to the Jerhart one though I have at least 4 different label designs (well some are just colour changes ble, grren etc) and I got all of them from a guy called Bob Lee in Chicago who used to own Jerhart (well according to him he did) as well as Mica, Toi and a couple of other labels. When I met him he was working in a bakery. Got some lovely tunes off him. Cheers Phil

Here's a scan. Cheers Phil
