I thought Indiana Jones had the only copy😁 I'll get my coat.

I've had more French ones than UK copies

Have you seen the c**p that John is trying to get rid of in his Friday Half Price sales? ( not just this week but for ages now). A few years ago he offered some decent stuff at reduced prices and it was fun trying to judge when to buy when the price was dropping! Nowadays it looks like he's just trying to get rid of stuff that will never sell at the original asking prices. I don't have a problem with John ( I do bid on and occasionally win on his auctions) but blinking heck, put the half price stuff in soul packs!

I had sounds like Bricks broken bottles, Skip Jackson, Jack Montgomery around 1969/1970 but only played them at home as they weren't fast enough for the scene then. Imagine my surprise when I started going out again and heard them being 'played out'. I was also told by the person who bought my collection remnants around 1987 that they were 6 copies of the Constellations - I don't know about you - in the collection ( again wrong tempo at the time) Hindsight is a wonderful thing!!

I once DJ'd with a well known couple😉 one half of whom asked me what I was thinking of playing after them. I mentioned half a dozen and yes, you've guessed correctly, they played all of them! I couldn't dance for rolling about laughing - brilliant night🤣

Del Larks - played out - you need to get rid of it. Give me a call!!!!😉

Last time I djed I started with;- Aspirations on peaches, , Combinations kimtone and. Cleveland Robinson love is a trap Went down very well

Still looking for Pee Wee

Ian and a few of his pals were caught out a couple of years ago bootlegging about 20 records. These were done specifically to 'fool' collectors as they went to great lengths to copy deadwax markings etc. A few collectors were taken in and bought them before the deception came to light. There will be a lengthy discussion on here somewhere. You need to search for it.

Breaking News - From the Reuters News Desk Hundreds of Northern Soul events are facing closure with numerous DJs facing redundancy as their suppliers of vinyl records are imprisoned. As spokesperson for the Non Original Vinyl and Bootleg Only Promotors Society ( NOVBOPS) said ' Many of our promoters are facing ruin in the light of these imprisonments, as well as our 'new; DJs losing their livelihoods as record supplies 'dry' up. An emergency meeting of NOVBOPS is being called in the hope that some of those affected will be able to 'rustle up' sufficient original records to continue with the odd event. However the spokesperson stated that this scenario was unlikely as most promoters and DJs don't know what an original 45 looks like and finding people with any knowledge of original vinyl records was proving an almost impossible task.

Just heard that Dave passed away earlier today. Sorry don't have any further news at this moment. Great guy and one of the 'stalwarts' of the scene. RIP mate.

Went to Dave's wedding in Huddersfield all those years ago ( I still have the photos). I still got the Marvellettes LP he bought me for my birthday ( he'd written 'deleted' on it for special effect😂 but it's still with me. Last saw him at Cleethorpes a couple of years ago, had a great time catching up on the old days about Huddersfield and the West riding soul scene in the late 60s/early 70s. RIP Julian & Carolyn xxx

That's like mine. Think 'discogs' have got it wrong on this one. Cheers Julian

The Johnny Wyatt shown is the second issue - Originals have his name printed horizontally

Hi Dave Good to see you're getting rid of the 70s stuff and majoring on the 60s!!!!!!! Hope you are both well. Julian & Carolyn xx

Hi Robb, sorry I tell porkies (slang for lies) Julian

6 shillings and 8pence. I stopped collecting in 1967!

Much better thanks

Thanks, my bloody computer cut the prices off!
