  2. Ivor, Im after that too. Took me a long time to find "Hope we have" on YDJ as I usually saw DJs with B. Acklin on other side, so there's at least one example of two DJ issues of "Im gonna miss you". I have "I lost you" on single-sided DJ so if there are double-sided copies out there then that's two examples. I would guess it exists in both formats. ROD
  3. Well Dave,that is a demonstrative pronoun or adjective drawing attention to the person or thing either observed by the speaker at the time or understood,already named or in question. Now that's cleared that up, I agree Courcy according to Tim's guide is about £150 over whilst Brooks Bros is £148 under. With reference to another thread /index.php?showtopic=30460 How come the 45 you have is always worth less, and the 45 you haven't got is worth more than you thought. ROD
  4. Well It would be the second known copy if you completely ignore my post!!! If you read it I'd guess it's at least the sixth and probably more. No axe to grind against John but his "astonishing" Luther Ingram issue also appears identical to the copy in my box, although mine is only VG++ I'd say. Vinyl demo with Detroit address and Atco distributed. I have no idea whatsoever what 45s are in collectors' boxes because every Northern 45 has not passed through my hands, although a lot have. I would think that John would agree with that as regards himself. ROD
  5. This is going off topic somewhat but this feigned familiarity with Northern that some of the US sellers adopt is laughable. I noticed one guy who not only quotes the ubiquitous Guide but has started to refer to djs supposedly playing the track, usually Richard Searling!! Needless to say the records involved are invariably overpriced rubbish. ROD
  6. I really only go for mintish 45s but I did weaken last week and won Quintessents "Image of a man" on Ebay for £126. I had it sent to a mate in US to save on shipping and he says it's rough but plays fine. As it was VG clean Im hoping it's not that rough and my mate is a condition freak so Im still hopeful it's not too bad. I'd really only seen a couple of copies over the years so I figured get it now or wait forever for a minter. So I guess I would now buy lesser condition copies but it would have to be something really hard to get. ROD
  7. Dan,to be fair to the guy who shelled out, he was pissed but I think his drink had been laced. 1954!!!!!! Im gonna have to lie down. ROD
  8. I saw that Bobby Bland "Shoes" go for a bit recently. I thought that was a sandal!! Jo Ann Hendeson 1954??!! Is that a misprint. Never heard it. ROD
  9. I go on Ebay quite a lot and I can't say that over past 4 years prices have particularly come down for 60's Northern. In fact Mint condition 45s appear to attract a premium price and that G condition only Salvadores went for £609!! However I think it is a case of just looking around and you can get 45s at prices that don't break the bank.This forum has a lot of 45s at fair prices. I got Quintessents other night on Ebay for £126. OK it was only "VG clean" but I've bought off guy before and label looked fine from picture. I thought I'd have to pay a lot more than that to get a copy. I guess that's due to it's lack of exposure. ROD
  10. Is that a maple leaf on label. Canadian issue to cash in..... ROD
  11. I hate to say this as Im obviously in a minority but does anyone notice a resemblance to Gerry and the Pacemakers on say "Don't let the sun catch you crying" Are they a white group? ROD
  12. Hello John, I had so much time on my hands when I was a full-time dealer but now I can see that I shoulda got myself a micrometer instead of wasting my time going fishing 3 days a week!! I just had a look at mine. No Pb, no dimples and found it in St. Louis. In thec absence of specialist tools I just looked at it in relation to a couple of 45s on Chess and USA which I assume are Chicago pressings and vinyl does appear thicker and more rigid. As far as I remember this copy is the same as 3 others I had and sold at Ritz in Manchester back in the 70's which came off a guy called Dave Berry in St. Louis who was a mate of Mark Edmund. At the time I think he said he got them offa guy who was something to do with the 45 but Im gonna email him to see if he can remember. So there may be more than one original St.Louis knocking about. Or maybe I've just not seen the dimples. Are they immediately evident on close inspection. ROD
  13. The DJ copy of Precisions went for £75 on Ebay in last couple of weeks ROD

    Kev, I'd forgotten guy's name on AFN although I thought it was on around 10pm but my memory is very selective. I do remember listening to him playing Stylistics "You're a big girl now" on Sebring [was it?] and thinking I must get that. Pete, many's the morning I set off for school at 8.30 and was in the local Stockport record shop at 9.30. Guy there used to write me a sick note for the teacher. Eventually my mum caught me and a mate [Richard Hillel if anyone knows him] in there wagging it and she dobbed us in to the school. Got 6 strokes of the cane and some lecture about letting down the school by being the first kids to play truant in the sixth form. But what an education we got in that shop. "Here she comes" on UK Parkway DJ for £1 [most of a week's dinner money]off "Little Louie". Didn't even know what it was but he said it was good. Very happy days!!!! ROD

    Well me too but I must be older. My memories would be Keith West, Lemon Pipers, Simon Dupree's "Kites""Happy Jack", "Pictures of Matchstick Men". Don't know what our age gap is but those are some of the pop songs that stick with me and I think illustrates the difficulty of having a radio station aimed at the over 35s. Those few years between us make a big difference. The 70's pop IMO was absolute bobbins compared to the 60's. I really couldn't listen to a station playing any of those songs you listed. The only guy I'd go out of my way to listen to on the radio would be Mark Lamarr. ROD
  16. Modernsoulsucks replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    Pete, Im sorry but 70's pop/rock leaves me unmoved. I like 60's reggae altho more into the lovers-rock type sound of 70's and 80's, rockabilly, doo-wop and 50's jump R&B, and 60's US garage. I don't count them as nothing!! ROD
  17. Modernsoulsucks replied to a post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    Im a bit perplexed. If the station is aimed at the over 35s then what do I,born in 1952,and somebody else born in 1971 have musically in common. Im 16 when Beatles and Stones are in the charts, and they're listening to Rick Astley and Kylie Minogue at the same age. So a bit of a wide divergence there and Im wondering where the common ground is supposed to be. The whole concept sounds rather similar to the rebranded Smooth FM which plays disco and soul hits mainly from 70's and 80's with the odd 60's track [usually Motown] thrown in and is aimed at the same age group I'd guess from nature of the featured advertising. Did I see that there's a nightly Northern show starting at 8pm. I'd rather watch the TV or video although I suppose I could have it on over the net when Im on here but that's usually an opportunity to listen to a CD. Back in '69 I'd listen to Mike Raven or tune into American Forces Network from Germany. Never listened to UK radio cos I'd gotten into soul. Why would I want to start listening now to a station playing the Carpenters!! I remember Todd Rundgren, Mott the Hoople, Colin Blunstone. They were records you flicked past to find the good stuff. ROD
  18. Martyn, Im sure Paul has only one dad and not several with one jacket between them. Paul, you just ignore these nasty old men. I understood perfectly what you meant. I still have my 40" bags but unfortunately they're now under my eyes!! ROD
  19. Steve, did find 2or 3 I think in Wax Museum,Charlotte with Alex Jones. Think Al kept a copy. Don't think it was our discovery. Im pretty sure we'd heard about 45. We did bring them back over here but no idea who got them and no idea of existence of WDJs. I know we def have had the faulty Newalkers 45 and I'd agree that all Jean Carters I've ever had or heard are distorted. Im not particularly musical so I put it down to being too much bass in the mix but again no idea of real technical reason. Although I think it was Tony who shot Phil down I would agree with Phil that just because some dealer wants to unload a 45 what he tells you might not be the gospel truth. "Here, mate wanna buy this Del-Larks for £3,000. Yes it's cracked right through but it was given away free in two halves by the Washington Angling Times in 1966 and they're all like that" No one's mentioned Salvadores. When that starts it kinda "drops" or slows down or something that is noticeable. So there you are Steve. You have the benefit of my vast experience and knowledge as a collector and dealer for past 35 years. Rubbish really!! ROD
  20. Fave break is in Fidels "Im giving you notice". Music stops and girl's voice saying:- "Are you gonna believe what I tell ya or you gonna believe what you see" Fits in perfectly and IMO sums up women wonderfully. I have this 45 by Bobby Sanders "The way I feel" . Nice tempo, nice back-up vocals but no break. Just don't sound right really. ROD
  21. Dave, well that's rich coming from a tax exile such as yourself as you sit around the pool sipping your chilled pale ale. If you'd cared to stay in touch with your roots you would have known that avocado and magenta are this season's racing colours for whippets and pigeons respectively. I am horrified that you should dispute my Northern credentials,which are as large if not quite as firm as they once were. I was born a stone's throw from a dark satanic mill which has now been converted into tasteful bijou apartments incorporating a fine bistro but I will never forget when we could only afford to have an 80" plasma TV in one room. I suggest you take your egg-shell white demos and shove..... Cordially yours ROD
  22. Simon,don't get me started!! "Girls" roped in the poor Whatnauts. From "I'll erase away your pain" to that abomination. Bon nuit ROD
  23. Anyone remember this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They never stopped playing it around here. The Pits!! You wanna hear the Moments at their best then "Not on the outside" or "Love on a two-way street" ROD
  24. Steve, Im glad you've entered into the spirit of the thread with what is a very important question. I think that unless an experienced practioner of the ancient Oriental art of calligraphy it were best to leave the cardboard covers in their original pristine whiteness. Stay away from covers of a different hue, such as the pink ones that my wife brought me back from the Beatin 'Rhythm emporium in Manchester, as they tend to attract innuendo and outright ridicule. An inner sleeve is a "de rigeur" and I suggest "red" for Detroit 45s and "green" for Northern but feel free to choose your own colour scheme should you wish to do it wrong. I've not decided as yet on the Motown but I think something to match the curtains. Avocado and magenta should be avoided at all costs as you don't want to end up looking like Rumpole of the Bailey after repeated long lunches paid for by clients whose names are preceeded by words like "Mad" or "Butcher". ROD
  25. And that Ted is because Pep is a Northener, and not many people know that as Mr.Caine from Huddersfield is credited with saying. I find myself doing it now looking through sales boxes. I mean you don't look through boxes stood on your head or lying horizontal on your side. I then send the miscreant home to tidy his bedroom and put his CDs back in the correct cases. Bring back National Service. Flogging is too good for them but quite pleasurable between consenting adults. ROD
