Grumpy!!!!????? I can assure you that under the tutelage of my present partner I am now completely re-modelled and ever-ready with a laugh, a joke and a song. This track is still bobbins Radio 2 fodder and Im persuaded that those Northern fans of a certain persuasion who may like this probably couldn't differentiate between a Northern 45 and an aubergine.

As no one's replied Mel, it's £200 on Manship site in Ex condition. I think general consensus is that John can be a tad adventerous in his pricing so probably less. Coupled with the fact that it's a bit of a Detroit collection filler and compared to proper Northern 45s it's a bit bobbins, I'd say £75-100 for a Minter. Always worth looking at John's site if you wanna get a rough idea of a price. ROD

I think "Northern" should be in parenthesis too!! Reminds me of Blow Monkeys. Surely the modern scene has better records to go at. ROD

A nice job Chalky and I hate to nit-pick but you've got "Detroit Sound" and "The Detroit Sound". Actually thinking about it,are they different labels? "The De..." is Sequins. Robert Walker and assorted garage bands is different design. ROD

Spanish on HIT with P/S. Quite common. I reckon £40-50 ROD

Was Karate based in Detroit? Thought it was just a pick-up label. ROD

Coulda sworn it was Bill and Benn ROD

I thought WEED was out of Philly owned by Billy Harner and Benny Sigler?

What's Detroit TRIBE label? ROD

OK I've been swept up in this exercise in futility!! I thought Paul Winley was NY. Anyway ACT IV BARRACUDA COOLSCHOOL THE DETROIT SOUND DO DE RE ERNSTRAT HIT PACK JAM KAY-KO? NU-SOUND PANIK RON's TOP DOG TOP TEN VELVET SOUND WASHPAN Gordy,VIP,Tamla VOICE HOB TARGET ROD

Short People I think. Bloody awful!! ROD

Didn't catch on till 90's [was it?] so never booted back in the hey-day. Not being dismissive. I mean it's a big label 45 so Minters are more likely to turn up just cos of numbers released. That's twice in the last 24 hours I've been helpful to someone on here. No buzz really so back to being cynical. Cheers ROD

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PATRICE-HOLLOWAY-Sto...Q2em118Q2el1247 That's the boot. Done recently-ish. Matrix corresponds to mine altho I'd say "scratched" rather than stamped. Pretty commonn 45 really so Mint copies are turning up all the time. ROD

I did hear that he was of German extraction and was discovered singing in a LA restaurant. ROD

Beverley Ann SOLD [gone out today,Paul] List updated. Any offers before Im stuck with this stuff. ROD

HOPEFULLY it is the first of many to turn up so that one day LOMA 1 and DE-TO can get themselves a copy. ROD

Pretty sure there is a 45 by Sheila&Tonnettes I recall seeing listed. Maybe on Bo-fuzz or similar. ROD

I think you're jumping to assumptions Ken that those who buy do so with the intention of dj-ing. I think we can take it that Pete Smith didn't purchase his Silky Hargraves for that purpose so unless you know for definite why not give the others the benefit of the doubt. There are some who've bought quite a few of the guy's titles if you check the feedback but again where is the proof, unless you know the buyers of course. There are a lot of people who don't like CDs even for home use so to them a carver is perfectly acceptable. I take your point about plenty of good cheaper 45s about but if you like and want say Combinations he's selling why shouldn't someone have it without shelling out £5000. I know the legality of it all but that's nowt to do with me or you [i guess]. As I said earlier I leave that to Ady and the like. Looking through those available titles and items he's sold it doesn't really look to me like calculated attempts to get a "biggies" playlist together. Frank Beverly? Don Gardner[already on Grapevine]? Most are oldies. I don't buy this stuff but no problems with others doing so. I'd imagine royalties etc lost are miniscule. As for the unissued Motown I hope he makes a fortune out of them as the knobheads running that re-issue series have IMO really let down us fans by not releasing the best tracks on vinyl. ROD

Watch out for Frank Howard's version "Titter,titter,titter" on YENOT ROD

Cobblestone is the orig artist;as Steve said Tempos c/u. That Loaded Dice may be the Expressions on UK EMI Int and "Talk to me" if a 70's track may be Dorothy Moore as I seem to remember that being a big Beach 45. ROD

I don't think this comment makes any sense whatsoever. CDs are legal and can be played in a club provided you have the set-up. Are you saying that Kent etc are ruining the scene by making records available. Whilst I kinda agree with the sentiment you gotta remember that back then records were dropped when they became available. Nowadays that doesn't seem to be the case and in fact I notice some records that become more popular after inclusion on a CD. Unless you are like Ady holding the rights to this stuff I agree with Ed that it has nowt to do with us what the guy's doing. I know Ady does his best to put stuff out on vinyl but costs mean he can't issue everything so this guy jumps in. BUT big time? The odd carver. And I guess he bought a copy of the Kent CD to start with. ROD

How do you tell the boot of the Eddie Regan. ROD

Sorry but I know the buyer so it's a firm order. Thanks anyway ROD

Acuna?

Yes thanks. Message received. Luther Ingram Smash SOLD Joy-Tones Coed SOLD
