Greedy Mick

Thank you. I'll give it a try 😉

Just seen this post .. went to see what is available, clicked on 2 records but show at full price when I go to check out??

Hi Roburt. You are an amazing source of info on this site. I've just ordered the book Many thanks Mick

Just been talking to my sister, she's having a good day and she's told me about the artists that we're on there also she started to tell me about il rondo another club in Leicester with loads of live acts. In the 80s I used to get my sister to take me to hinckley allniters after I had finished work as a chef in a pub or cleethorpes if we were at our caravan on the east coast.... It now explains why she said be careful what you take and make sure you know who it's coming from.. I now wonder what she did to stay awake although she denies it lol. At a niter in the 60s when everything was available 💊💊lol

Only knew him to say hello to. But still want to send regards to his family and friends. Too many soulies going to that big allniter in the sky as we get older x

Thanks Roburt really appreciate that... She did mention that there were lots of acts that she had seen at the nite owl. But because of her stroke sometimes she will remember and sometimes she doesn't. So I was surprised she remembered long after tonight is all over..

Ok I'm 60. My big sister is 76 and she used to go to the night owl allnighter in Leicester in the 60s.. and we were talking records earlier as she loves Dusty Springfield what's it gonna be And then she says do you you know long after tonight it's all over by her . I say no as she streams a new version of the three before eight classic. I've learned something new, and it's not a bad version

I'm very well thanks. Hope you are ok. Had my records out for the first time in years a while ago. I had forgotten that I still have forest fire on main street plus many old Oddfellow plays. Delcos, Bobby Smith, Anita Humes,Caviar,Veda to name a few.

Totally agree. I will admit been to stoke lots with my son it spoils it when you know what is coming next.. used to love listening to a spot ( say Gary Rushbrooke at Oddfellows) and he would play lord sitar cover up and would run to the floor and dance my arse off lol

Totally agree.. play the record at the speed it was produced and pressed for playing 👌

If you met your favourite artists say at a weekender like cleethorpes/Prestatyn in the past and you wanted their signature. Would you rather have it on the sleeve or the label? We all know about Frank Wilson and Kenny. But if the artist just signed their name on the label would it increase or decrease the value ?,

Totally agree, I have a focus st with a stage 2 and it's great fun lol 😆, but nothing like a RS500

If and when you get the photos published or whatever you seem fit.. would love to see them.. i was lucky enough to see loads of bands in the last year at school at Leicester University before I started going niters every week as Leicester, hinckley etc started up. Saw slf, Sioux sie, uk subs ,the damned, plus many others I can't remember Know there was a few two tone bads . people at school used To say are you a soul boy or punk ? Make your mind up?? But I just loved live bands/music. Also saw the who at Granby halls in Leicester awesome nite. 😁 Just had to dig out my slf, damned and sex pistols albums out.. This takes me back 45 years 😆

For me a Sierra RS500 Cosworth. Have a fast ford and will always love them lol. A very late midlife crisis now I'm in my 60s

Here's my original post above, this is so ironic 😇 just watched postman on ring doorbell delivering 2 more 45s.. thinking of selling as new ones drop through the letter box.. think I need help🤣🤣✊️

A big thank you to Tim. I think I have made a decision.. I know I have pensions but not for a few years... but if my health problems escalate and and can't work then if money is tight then I might have to sell them , like you said I can't take take other assets ie house, pensions etc with me and although I have some records that I could never buy now at current prices. Things like my Tomangoes, Mac Staten, Alfie Davison and King Tutt 12" mean so much I will never sell . And Tim I see your favourite is the velvet satins..just sharing, i bought my velvet satins as a 15 year old schoolboy along with Ellusions in 1980 with all my Christmas money and pocket money I had saved up💰 should have bought more. A really really big thank you for what you said 😊 ✊️✊️

Thank you Tim, I'm more confused than ever 😆.. I have only bought records I love alot of them from you at oddfellows 😁😁like you say we never bought them as an investment. That's what my pensions were for. This is going to be a hard and long decisive thing to do.. from my very first record J D Martin and my last the other ones the two of us... It is going to be a hard thing to sort out..

I keep reading this. 90 % of my records were bought in the late 70s upto 88 when I bought a house then got married. Most expensive was my Tomangoes. Got back into the scene in 2012 . Then bought things I could afford and didn't find 1st time around but nothing more than 2 or 3 hundred. Your reply is amazing in many ways.. my son went to niters with me for 12 years and is aware of values.. I think I have to spend some time thinking of what to do. Thanks for such an amazing and open response ✊️

I know that this has probably been discussed many times. I'm getting to the stage in my life due to my age and health I'm thinking about selling my records as they rarely get played but they mean so much to me. I have a few things that I could never let go but I do have a fair few , do I sell and enjoy the money or keep them. It's such a big dilemma for me. Would like your positive and negative thoughts please..if you have had to do the same

It would have been a Wellington boot about size 5😁. Seriously think it was Billy Prophet what can I do, didn't realise it had been pressed.

I sort of agree, alot of the suggestions to me are blue eyed soul , what I would call Carolina Soul almost beach music. But I'm not being ungrateful for the suggestions but I personally ( my own interpretations ) was trying to get across is garage music almost with a touch of rock music ( yes guitars) which is why I quoted The Seeds and The Innkeepers. And sounds like this that Keb often plays. I know The Nomads, Vondells, Embers etc are blue eyed/carolina soul in my eyes not garage . I trust I haven't upset anyone in this woke society with my personal views

Thank you, that is why I did a search but nothing popped up.. if anyone else can help with a link I would appreciate it.

If this has been done before I apologise as I did do a search before posting this.. As our scene has crossed paths with many different music genres from r&b, Latin soul, beach music etc.. How much of it has come from the Garage scene? I know we had the seeds pushing too hard and gypsy drywell, innkeepers never should have done it.. Forest fire on main street, covered as lord Sitar and the Baltimore marching band.. I know Keb used to slip one or two in but my memory isn't what it was 🥲 So would appreciate any help Mick
