Sear-chin......for that one record you been after for ages......and Sir-Chin for the clever bugger that finds it before you

Thou could find thyself on roller skates, whilst holding rear bumper if thou start talking serious bo----ks as thou has endulged in above, particularly tomorrow night as the aforementioned "miscreant" albeit not holier than thou is behind the wheel for the holy grail that is Burnley.....so I say confess your sins now Mr.Brown, and seek forgiveness

Good thread Harry,as a collector since the mid seventies,my weakness has always been "pigeon holeing", (not a perversion before "I set hares running" I must add), and have been through various collecting habits whilst unfortunately for varying financial reasons not maintaining a particular trait ! Uk 45's in particular in my Yate days were my "forte" and I remember fondly the Welsh record shops I plundered especially in the valley towns,with great aplomb . I remember one of my best finds however was over the border in Gloucester, when I decimated the entire JayBoy/ President portfolio in one hit,by pure chance,and from a purely collecting perspective was well chuffed, however nowadays I must say that my weakness is US biased with particular favour being all things Detroit Michigan, however I do love those UK demos....whatever colour the "A" may be...wilxy

Several recent additions to the collection, include-4 Pros-Just another girl-Carla WD Jimmy Hart-Tea house in Chinatown-Mercury WD, and September Jones-Im coming home-Kapp WD......I just wish I could stay away from the sales section on this site, and stop looking through sales boxes at venues.......not

I've the following albums for trade if anyone is interested. Will consider either Detroit related albums or 45's for them San Remo Golden Strings-Hungry for love-RIC-TIC still sealed Diana Ross & Supremes 25th anniversary 3 record "deluxe set" inc 12 page booklet inc20 previously unreleased tracks-All 3 discs & booklet mint/ cover ex US Motown Spinners-Celebrating Motown's 20th anniversary-EX/EX -French motown/Vogue Jr.Walker & All Stars-road runner-UK TamlaMotown-Authentic autographs of the group on back cover,signed by the Junior himself, Jerome Teasley,Sonny of the allstars, Harold of the all-stars, and Philip on guitar "all stars"-Disc has a few marks but plays ok, cover a bit grubby but not too bad Never Before released masters-from Motowns brightest stars of the 60's-Ex/Ex-French Tamlamotown Gissa shout if you've any trades-cheers wilxy

There's only one problem selling your prized vinyl, particularly when you feel it's run its course in your collection. A few years down the line you hear it again and it touches the parts etc. and you end up paying a lot more than you sold it for.........as I well know

cheers Dave

Just played other side, as you said very good, and have now got the information I initially requested, silly me

Any help appreciated

I'm looking for the following albums in at least EX condition, Shades of Blue-Impact, Freddie Butler-Kapp. Reflections-Golden World, Metros-RCA, in fact will consider any 60's Detroit albums apart from Motown,that I haven't already got... cheers wilxy

List updated, all items open to offer, cash or trade

What is the score as to the legitimacy of Detroit sound patterns acetates with regard to "originality", as I have a few such as Eric & the vikings -Hurting, and Pearl Jones-Give me another chance both on 10 inch acetates (both are double sided)albeit the latter has a sticky label stating the artist as Barbara Mercer, and whilst I appreciate the likelihood of some tracks in this format could be laid onto blanks I'm sure there is the knowledge on these boards to enlighten me somewhat

Can anyone enlighten me as to the whereabouts the following Precisions 45's was "conceived", its title is "Into my life" on Atco and is a Mival production written by Mike Valvano. I'd never heard it prior to obtaining a copy from Des Parker and albeit it isn't a "rare" 45 by any means it's not half bad

Any chance of a soundclip of Byron on Sidra Dave? cheers wilxy

My attendance at all-nighters is heavily influenced by my shiftwork, so is somewhat limited and whilst I've not attended several of the regular venues, not by choice I might add ,the place that really has done it for me every time is the Kestrel Suite at Burnley, for the music, the people and not forgetting the venue itself which are..... top notch

Mike Terry.....sheer class, so anything with his name to it gets my plaudits

You got mail

Edwin Starr was the first live Soul artist I had the pleasure of seeing/hearing, so the memory will be with me until my time is up. It was either 1974 or 5 at Tiffany's Durdham Down (Bristol) and I recall being in awe of a superb "craftsman at work" throughout his performance I attended several of his appearances over the years, and the last time I saw him was at Stoke in the late 90,s and recall the backing tracks going tits up so he started singing accapella.......an amazing voice that never seemed to lose any quality,and equally a much loved character that is sorely missed!
