Remember Dave Godin saying at an early Soul Essence that Diana Ross questioned whether she was allowed to travel in the same car as him when the Motown review toured in the early 60s.

I started again couple of years ago after a gap of 20 years. Last two dates have been cancelled on the day by the service. Don’t know if that’s apathy from the public or lack of staff.

Lovely memories of him playing Deon Jackson ‘ I remember the feeling’ and Jackie Wilson ‘Open the door to your heart’ as the sun rose over Morecambe Pier. Great DJ and such a nice guy. RIP Brian.

Asked my pal Derek Smith who suggested it could be Hartleys.

If anyone has got a VG+ or better issue on Totem Pole please PM me. Cheers Keamus

Worthy of a mention…. Essex IV - My heart just can’t take it / My reaction to you Willie Hutch - The Duck / Love runs out

Think the list is endless. Few that spring to mind - Rose Battiste - I miss my baby / Hit and Run Jimmy Mack - My world is on fire / Go On Bobby Hill - Tell me love you me / To the bitter end Donald Lee Richardson - I’ve learned my lesson / You got me in the palm of your hand Ralph Graham - She just sits there / You had to hurt someone Sharon Scott - Could it be you / I’d like to know

This one still for sale so knocked big chunk off original price….. MEL WILLIAMS - BURN, BABY, BURN. STAR RECORDS. Just one for sale and it’s a rare one, but unfortunately not in best condition. However, both sides play through without any skips and just a bit of background noise. I’ll grade the disc as VG and happy to provide a sound file if necessary. Seen a VG+ one sell for £850 so this one is a bargain. £475 inc Special Delivery. PM me if interested.

Not in best condition, however both sides play through without any skips and just a bit of background noise. Better than a just for djaying record.

Surprised no one has mentioned the eye watering £750 the Cindy Scott demo fetched. Near mint one from a UK seller on Discogs for less than half the price.

A sad day. RIP Ted.

About to write the very same on Dorothy Williams. I struggled to sell a demo a few years back. Finally got a taker at £70. Two people must have been desperate to get into such a crazy bidding war.

Great artist with a very long recording career with this barnstormer towards the end RIP Lenny

Issue or demo in VG+ or better condition. PM me if you can help.

Agree on Chestnut Brothers. One of the best from Izipho. Think early April for release.

Still looking for an original in good nick on Future Stars. PM me if you can help.

Last try with this one. Hopefully a bargain. PM me if interested. Johnny Sayles - Anything for you.Liberty demo. Again tiny bit of sticker residue and slightly mucky label. Vinyl is at least VG++ £90 inc p&p

Hope this is in the box for Sunday in Burnley Neil!

I like looking at the final prices if only for entertainment value. Pat Brady's auctions rarely make these pages. Always seem to show high end bids.

Just the one for sale. PM me if interested. Baby Huey & The Baby Sitters - Just being careful. USA demo. VG++ some would grade as mint-. £140 inc p&p SOLD
