Tex-mex influence may be because there's an awful lot of Mexicans working in N. Carolina. I think agricultural labourers. You see a lot around the flea markets where there are guys selling Mexican music. ROD

I've seen him a couple of times years ago at US record conventions. Bit eccentric but harmless. However,offering outside Ebay is against the rules so how come nobody has complained and got him off the site. Second thoughts as I think dealing is his primary source of income so it'd be a bit tight. Soul Police should deffo have a word with him though. ROD

"Reserves" and esp that Count guy who has a reserve on everything even if beat up and nowt seems to reach the reserve!! When they auction them but word it as if it's some kinda set sale. Low Starting Price meand f**k all. It's just cheaper to list for the seller. "Glassboy". I really wanted that Whispers and to be beat by 64cents is a fackin liberty. ROD

A couple of people have referred to a drop in prices but Im with Ted "good" 45s are going up. I don't see my collection as an investment at all and I just assume they'll be worthless when Im gone cos hopefully you lot would have gone before me. I can't see how leaving them as a financial legacy, as Mr. Cosgove suggests, would work. Unless he dies relatively soon IMO the demand in say 30 years time will be minimal. ROD

I've got George Lemons too and it's bloody awful. I'd also like to nominate "Baby you're alive" Styles. Great backing,great back-up vocals and George Lemons moonlighting!! Listening to it now. Terrible!! ROD

Hey Pete, I've tried to calm things down. Don't bar him. It's fun. MELVIN

If you goodle it they say this rarer version is very ungerateg. ROD

I don't know you either,Mike, but I think you should be extremely proud and congragulated for what you've achieved with Soul Source. I would say that the site is indispensable and for me it's the 2006 equivalent of Dave Godin's old column but far more informative and influential. I've no idea of the workings of the internal computing engine but if your withdrawal meant that we would lose this site, then it would be akin to the Casino,Mecca,Stafford,100 Club etc all shutting their doors on the same day. I've corresponded with some really nice genuine people and some modern fans on here and would really like to continue doing so. Im sure your efforts on our behalf are very time consuming and maybe you could be doing something else such as a spot of DIY, taking the wife shopping or the kids to see the Arctic Monkeys!! I hope you reconsider. ROD

My wife watched it and she thought it was hilarious. Was it a comedy? Apart from the DJ character, I wasn't sure what it was about or trying to get across. ROD

There's a couple of guys still to send for reserved 45s Im holding from list I recently posted. But shit happens and no sweat if they don't honour their orders. However Im not a full-time dealer who relies on the money to spoil their little angels rotten like Pete. People who order from full-time dealers need to remember that. Not exactly a new phenomena. I was full-time from 88-2000. A lot of guys overstretch themselves cos of this silly obssession we all have. So name and shame. Not really. Bit more individual responsibility and integrity needed. ROD

Thanks Dave and Adam. I lost!! ROD

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...mp;rd=1&ssp Somebody quick. Is this an original. Ta ROD

If there's anyone out there thinking of buying any of these 45s I just got a couple from Rich and they really are "stunning"+++. Looks like never seen a needle. If you're particular about condition these are the ultimate Mint copies and well worth getting. I am really chuffed with mine. ROD

Hi Dave, I did notice it after I put my ad on here. Couldn't find any copies of "The Dip" on Ebay and last couple I've seen were bad condition. Don't really know about Dore and Soul Clock versions. Heard Dore version on CD and liked it. Last day at work tomorrow and then redundant. As long as I get another job soonish I should be able to buy a couple of tunes with the payout. ROD

Looking for following by Whispers, all on Dore Records Needle in a haystack You got a man on your hands The Dip Must be Mintish condition please. Thanks ROD

I hope you won't mind me bumping this list up as I've hardly sold any and not eaten since 7th August!! ROD

Ted/Mark there is a small indecipherable stamp about an inch in front of S-002B and kinda diagonally opposite there's either a stamp or maybe scratched in something else it's impossible to make out without a microscope. Compared to the blue boot that's been posted the colour is darker and writing much sharper and defined. ROD

Are you sure you're right about this info. My copy which I got in person from USA in lot where there wasn't a boot in sight has HITCH 'N' POST JODAX [bMI] TIME 2:35 Kinda darkish blue and very sharp writing. Checking Manship and Popsike the pictures of the originals appear the same as mine.

I don't get this at all. Soul Sam plays Del-Larks at Middleton and he gets a thread to himself whilst if Joe Bloggs plays a boot or re-issue of same thing he's in for a slating. Fact is I like Del-larks,would like an original but surely there's some other 45 just as worthy of playing that I've not heard a thousand times!! For instance Lee Jennings on Star-track. No,I've not got that either so not trying to hype it but it's just a decent record that IMO you don't get to hear. Im sure everybody on here can come up with something similar. I think Greg hit it on the head earlier that there are too many djs playing same old originals, be they reactivated oldies or 20 year old newies, just because big name jocks have them and they don't appear to have an innovative approach at all,merely content to slavishly follow whatever is in fashion. I've heard guys play sets comprising "big" records from various Northern genres and just bung 'em altogether and you can tell they don't have a clue. So I think you can do what you want and it's fine and not a boot v. original situation but IMO more to do with widening a pretty stagnant attitude to listening and playing records. ROD

Bit of a long shot but has anyone got the sleeve to Friends&Co LP. I have the vinyl but would like the cover so I can sell it to be honest. Unless anyone wants the vinyl for £10. Mintish. Ta ROD

All 45s are US originals unless stated. All are in at least Ex nick,meaning no scratches and no immediately visible scuffs. Like store stock unless stated otherwise.Those at VG+ will have some small scuffs but still a good copy Full refund if not happy. PM me if interested.

Fluff, it is still available. PM me if you want it. Ta ROD

Hey Matt Im trying to sell some 45s here. What do you think this is. Bloody Friends Reunited!! ROD

Yes Boff. PM me for payment details if you want it. Ta ROD

I think it's worth repeating here that if you have the 45 it's worth far less than you thought. If you don't have it then it's worth far more than you thought. ROD
