Arrived yesterday. It went from Chicago to Jamaica NY and then pretty much plain sailing via London.

One arrived yesterday. It had been in the UK since the 4th May. Another still in Chicago since 21st April Fingers crossed

Patience is a virtue but not where vinyl is concerned!🤣

Got one in Chicago since 21st April. Also got one that cleared customs in the UK on 4th May. Not arrived yet!

Doctor Bird original required. PM with price, condition etc if you can help. Bank transfer, paypal f&f, cheque, cash whatever. Thanks for looking, Julian

Of Soul Sounds infamy. What's the name of his 'minder' who travelled with him back in the day?

In reply to Joey, it was Jeff king who booted on Soul Sounds. He went to prison for it. As soon as they were booted along with Chris Burton OOTP stuff and Simon Soussan many DJs stopped playing them (not all due to the demand to hear them) but many copies were still sold to the club goers, I know because I was buying wholesale from Chris and Twink was selling them for me and him at Wigan on a weekly basis. Don't forget at the time new tunes were being found on a weekly basis and people moved on to the 'latest tunes'. I can honestly say that when I was DJing in the 1968 to 73 era, I never played a bootleg. Still only play originals as well, so nothing has changed as far as I'm concerned 👍

I can think of a few original DJs who didn't have the originals 45s 40 years ago!!!!

Which is the most desirable, white demo or issue? TIA Julian

Had a Hugo Montenegro 'Sherry' on Oriole with a BBC stamp. I know I swapped it with Simon Soussan but can't remember what for. Happy days

Hi Roburt I was simply quoting what I was told by my pal. I'll get him to check his facts but it was definitely 1943 when his father bought the records. Stay safe Julian

One on ebay ending in 2 hours

A friend's father has recently died. In 1943 his ship was in new York for 3 months for repairs. Being a jazz fan, he scoured the record shops for vinyl Lps and 45s. My pal thinks some may be quite rare. Does anyone know of any jazz specialist in the UK who may be able to help. Obviously I know of john tetfeller but would prefer to deal with UK. TIA

BUMP - can anyone help?

Martha Reeves a couple of years ago in Manchester. She was awful and worse still, she kept trying to sing Jackie Wilson tunes. Terrible

Is that in $ or £s ?

Not sure I could have danced to this even in the drug fuelled days!

Bloody hell, he made that backdrop look easy!

Sold £60

Sad, sad news. What a lovely man. Will miss our chats about our beloved vinyl. Sincere condolences to Pat and family RIP Chico Julian and Carolyn

Hi Guys Thanks for all the information - very knowledgeable as expected. It's been posted earlier that the deadwax readings are the same for both. My L.Allen copy reads on the 'Somewhere' side G&C -115 -A PARADISE can someone please confirm same on Larry Allen? TIA Julian

Just received the 45 purchased. Not an expensive record but bloody hell they charged £12 for p & p. Ok the registered bit is £7.80 ( I think) but it was in the cheapest box with no stiffeners. Considering they made approx 50% in selling and buyers commission you'd have thought they could have done at cost. Moan over
