Hi, Can anyone help me to obtain a copy in M- condition (or as close to as practically possible) please? I originally posted this request in mid-December but so far no joy. If you can help could I ask that you send a PM? I can only check this site once a day most days (sometimes only once every couple of days), so if you do not receive an immediate reply please do not be offended or think that I'm being rude. I will reply to any messages that I receive. Thanking you in anticipation. Chris

Hi Folks, My plays from the night are as follows. I'm assured that Chris Churm will post his plays this time around...I'll give him a nudge if it looks like he's forgotten. Otis Lee – Hard Road To Hoe The Martells – Where Can My Baby Be The Chandlers – Your Love Makes Me Lonely Blue Jays – (It Depends On The) Point Of View Kell Obsorne – Lonely Boy Song Cleveland Robinson Jr – Love Is A Trap Tangeers – Let My Heart & Soul Be Free George Pepp – The Feeling Is Real (request) Bobby Kline – Say Something Nice To Me Tommy Ridgely – My Love Gets Stronger Paulette – Love You Babe (request) Elbie Parker – Please Keep Away From Me Gene Toones – What More Do You Want (request) Bill Griffin – Try To Run A Game On Me (request) Kenny Gamble – The Joke’s On You Nat Hall – Why (request) Lost Soul – Secret Of Mine Gwen Davis – My Man Don’t Think I Know Peppermint Harris – Wait Until It Happens To You Charles Sheffield – Voodoo Working (request) Tobi Lark – Sweep It Out In The Shed Phonetics – Just A Boy’s Dream The Trends – Thanks For A Little Lovin’ Until next time (1st Anniversary on 12th January 2018) I hope that you have a great Christmas and a soulful new year. Chris

Hi, Can anyone help me to obtain a copy in M- condition (or as close to as practically possible) please? If you can help could I ask that you send a PM? I will only be able to hop onto this site every couple of days at present, so if you do not receive an immediate reply please do not be offended or think that I'm being rude. I will reply to any messages that I receive. Thanking you in anticipation. Chris

Hi Steve, Friday 8th December is the next event. Our special guests are Steve Skopek and Carl & Maria Willingham. Hope you can make it. Chris

I think you may be right as it's disappeared from his site as a BIN, but I suspect he had more than one Mint copy as I seem to remember that he auctioned another Mint copy and achieved just shy of £400 around 12 - 18 months ago...unless of course he was selling that for a customer...or my memory is playing tricks on me (which is entirely possible). Nice result getting a copy from the Louise Neal collection BTW...

Kell Osborne seemed to be a good buy as far as I can tell. I prefer The Lonely Boy Song myself (a track that Dave Truscott got behind in the heydays of The Birchfield in Widnes). International GTOs also appeared to be a good(ish) buy given that JM had a copy for some time on his site as a BIN for £400 as Mint unplayed. I thought Chapter Five might have sold for even more than it did...but still a pricey record.

Nice set? Bloody hell Geoff, that was a blinding set! Whilst as a result of illness I was unable to attend and hear first-hand what sounds like a masterclass I am mightily relieved that I didn't have to follow you and pick up the last hour! I've never been so relieved to have been poorly! Chris

Hi Folks, Have reduced price to £80 inc shipping within the UK by recorded delivery...I'm hoping this represents a really good deal for someone. There are plenty of scuffs but, aside from the odd crackle, the record plays very well indeed. I'd probably rate the visual appearance as VG/VG+ though my feedback in general seems to suggest that I tend to undergrade (which I think is no bad thing). I think the attached photos probably accentuate the scuffs and they show the very worst of them so hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised. Please note, this is the yellow issue - on a couple of photos the label colour has come out white (I've no idea why and don't know how to correct this). As per usual, full money back guarantee if you're unhappy with my grading. £80 inc Recorded Delivery shipping within UK. Payment would need to be by bank transfer on this occasion as PayPal doesn't help me at the moment. Thank you for taking a peek. Chris

Hi Fplks, Needs must (again...I'm making a habit of this...) so I'm selling my issue of George Smith - I've Had It - Turntable. There are plenty of scuffs but, aside from the odd crackle, the record plays very well indeed. I'd probably rate the visual appearance as VG/VG+ though my feedback in general seems to suggest that I tend to undergrade (which I think is no bad thing). I think the attached photos are a accurate reflection of the condition (capturing condition in a photo isn't as easy as it sounds dependant on light source/shadows etc). Please note, this is the yellow issue - on a couple of photos the label colour has come out white (I've no idea why and don't know how to correct this). As per usual, full money back guarantee if you're unhappy with my grading. £100 plus shipping. Payment would need to be by bank transfer on this occasion (or cheque / concealed cash) as PayPal doesn't help me at the moment. Thank you for taking a peek. Chris

Hi Folks Fantastic sets by Dave Slater, Derek Watmough and Chris Churm which unfortunately (for my bank balance at some stage hence) have been added to my ever changing 'wants' list. I had the 9pm - 10pm spot this time around and managed to squeeze the following into the time allowed: Paul Sindab - I Was A Fool Otis Lee - Hard Road To Hoe (request) Volumes - Ain't Gonna Give You Up Martells - Where Can My Baby Be Timothy Wilson - Hey Girl, Do You Love Me Soul Communicators - Those Lonely Nights Bill Bush - I'm Waiting Jesse Johnson - Left Out The Charts - Livin' The Nightlife Sam Ward - Sister Lee Little Eddie Taylor - I Had A Good Time Cookie Jackson - Do You Still Love Me Lost Soul - Secret Of Mine Ernie Washington - Lonesome Shack Peppermint Harris - Wait Until It Happens To You Albert Washington - Somewhere Down The Line Sammy Ambrose - Welcome To Dreamsville Ralph Graham - She Just Sits There (request) Chapter 5 - You Can't Mean It The Moments - You Said Cody Black - I'm Slowly Moulding Paulette - Love You Babe Brice Cofield - Ain't That Right (request) Nat Hall - Why Brooks Brothers - Lookin' For A Woman Yum Yums - Gonna Be A Big Thing Until next time (Friday November 17th) Chris

Hi Folks, Needs must... For sale is my copy of I'd Think It Over by Sam Fletcher. VG+ graded as there are a number of hairlines from being in/out of sleeve. I do try to grade conservatively but if you disagree there's a full refund, no dramas guarantee. Plays absolutely spot on. £300 (plus £7.50 Special Delivery or £3.00 Recorded Delivery...I'd opt for the Special Delivery 'if I were you') Payment has to be by bank transfer on this occasion I'm afraid. In one photo the label looks faded, it's not faded, it's the lighting that makes it look that way. Label is ever-so-slightly offset, but record itself isn't. Proper stamped original with correct run-out details. Please PM to reserve/buy and thanks for looking. Chris

Fantastic condition, grades at least EX. £125 (plus your preferred shipping method - £2.95 recorded, £7.95 special). Thanks for taking a peek. Chris

Hi Folks, A couple to go, so thanks for taking a quick peek. Payment ideally via bank transfer, but PayPal F&F is also acceptable. £2.75 postage 'signed for', £7.50 'special Billy Sha-rae - I'm Gone - Spectrum (EX) £150 Porgy & The Monarchs - My Heart Cries For You - Musicor (VG++ few light hairlines) £45 Otis Redding - You Left The Water Running - Stone (EX) £30 Fantastic Four - Pin Point It Down - Soul (EX) £15 Thanks for looking. Close offers considered is you genuinely think my pricing is out. Chris

Boy do I need to get out more! There are plenty of 45s in the sets listed that I don't know. Those that I do know are top drawer! This sounds like a venue that I really need to get my sorry @rse down to. Chris

Folks, It was my turn for the last spot of the night. There were some absolute belters played by Dave, Les and Chris beforehand so I really had my work cut out for me. There might be one or two that I've missed, but the order is correct. Sam Dees – Lonely For You Baby Jimmy Bo Horne – I Just Can’t Speak The Volumes – Ain’t Gonna Give You Up Johnny Rodgers – Make A Change Ralph Graham – She Just Sits There The Four Voices – Your Love Is Getting Stronger The Rotations – Put A Nickel On D-9 Bud Harper – Wherever You Were Dusty Wilson – Can’t Do Without You Clarence Reid – I’m Your Yes Man Wade Flemmons – Jeanette Wade Flemmons – Two Of A Kind George Blackwell – Can’t Lose My Head Stewart Ames – Angelina, Oh Angelina Brice Cofield – Ain’t That Right Little Richie – Just Another Heartache Tomangoes – I Really Love You Timi Yuro – I’ll Never Be Over For Me The Commands – Not Time For You Kind regards Chris

It clearly must have gone up as a quick trawl of SS suggests that you had a good idea of the price in June 2016 when you advertised it for sale @ £450. Perhaps the prices of Jock Mitchell 'Not A Chance In A Million' has also rocketed as it appears that you asked for prices on this twice in November 2016 and then again in February 2017...and it appears that you got responses. Similarly it also appears that you also asked about prices for Dean Parrish 'Bricks Broken Bottles and Sticks' in February and July of this year...again it appears that you got responses. I've asked for guidance in the past price-wise and have always been appreciative of the efforts that have been made by those that have responded...perhaps if I keep asking the price of tunes in my collection will eventually attain a price that I'm happy with. Given the above, and assuming that I haven't erred (which is entirely possible and if that is the case then I apologise unreservedly in advance), then I am inclined to agree with both Pumpkinseed and Benji.

I might be wrong (I often am according to the current wife), but it would appear that the same guy asked the same question on this site on 25th February this year and received a number of responses. Has the value of this record 'gone through the roof' in the last 6 months so as to justify raising the question again? Chris

On hold

Hi Folks, I am led to believe that this 'playing card' type design is quite rare, especially for the demo. I can find hardly any evidence of prices for this particular variant so I'm taking a punt but will also be open to reasonable offers. I'd hope to achieve somewhere around the £150 mark. Condition is VG++ with a few hairlines and one small scratch that I've managed to capture in one of the photos. I am a really picky grader so I hope that you'll be pleased, but I provide a full money back guarantee should your and my grading be out of sync. I do have good, albeit limited, feedback so I hope that you can buy or contact me with confidence. P&P is extra, but if I get £150 I'll pay for Special Delivery. Payment on this occasion would need to be by bank transfer, cheque, concealed cash etc...sadly on this occasion PayPal is of no use to me. If you think my pricing is way out then drop me a note, but I've tried to be realistic given that this does appear to be quite rare in relation to the other variants of this record and therefore somewhat difficult to price. Thank you for looking. Chris
