Welcome to this complete waste of time as was your suggestion. We've already worked our way through top 500 [see post 213] and the new Top100 [see post 395] which appears to be the 100 45s least likely to be owned by anyone. There have been others but as you're from down South in affluent Staines I wouldn't expect you to go through the entire thread but no doubt you have a Polish maid who could do that for you. ROD

£16K+ now I assume that's most on here out of the running then? And no I didn't bid cos knew I stood no chance. ROD

Temptations Girl why you wanna... Supremes Love is like an... Sorry Mike it's getting near bedtime. Just these two 45s now folks

Isleys This old heart of mine Elgins Heaven must have sent you Temptations Girl why you wanna... Supremes Love is like an... OK Mike this is up to date now. As Pete said 10 pages to arrive at 4 Motown 45s!!! ROD

Isleys This old heart of mine Elgins Heaven must have sent you Temptations Girl why you wanna... Supremes Love is like an... Latest list. Bit slow there before. If you've got "He's all I got" on 45 you must have this side.

Isleys was in Top 500. Olympics done. Not got Bell/Clay So Isleys This old heart of mine Elgins Heaven must have sent you And add Martha & Vandellas Nowhere to run Temptations Girl why you wanna... Bobby Taylor Oh I've been blessed Im off for a while to watch "Spooks" ROD

Im sure Tal Armstrong was on here for £40 and Jimmy Raye for £450 within last couple of weeks. May have sold now but they hadn't when first listed on Manny's list. ROD

Supremes He's all I got Elgins Heaven Isley Brothers This old Current Live

Yes I agree with what I assume is the point you're making that because of their status they're overlooked by the cognescenti. OK we don't have to hear them everytime we go out but these should be in any self-abusing soul fan's collection so he can flick through them with his other hand. ROD

Supremes He's all I got Elgins Heaven Isley Brothers This old OK P but just to make sure that Johnson 45 is b-side to I'll pick a rose...

And that woulda been a belter of an idea.....had I happened to own a copy of any version which unfortunately I don't. As you have your scientific head on have you drawn any conclusions, other than that most of the contributors shouldn't be allowed out on their own, based on the data provided on this thread. I haven't myself but I thought I'd drop it in your lap in return for posting the Top 500. ROD

So that's now Marv Johnson You got the love I love Supremes He's all I got Elgins Isley Brothers Mark didn't comment on Isleys and Elgins but I have the feeling... 4 Tops may be "What is a man" and I don't have that ROD

Yes he has but we are trying to find a common denominator throughout all collections although it is less likely if you only collect one type with just a smattering of the other. The loss of the Carstairs is a huge blow as I'd convinced myself everybody likes/has it except Pete Smith. Still we've learnt some things along the way foremost amongst which is to ignore completely the next "good idea" from NZ. ROD

Eddie hasn't got the Carstairs!!!!! Or 4 Tops Elgins Heaven Isley Brothers This old

That many eh? Still it was a pretty piss-poor enterprise and you could see Berry Gordy getting nowhere with that sound.

Carstairs It really hurts... Elgins Heaven must have... Isley Brothers This old heart... Four Tops Shake me wake me Current Live 45s

I think he does the odd Motown 45 and bearing in mind your comment re exhausting Top 500 and diminishing returns it may be an idea for Mark to post up those Motown he does have as I woulda thought there's a slim chance of agreement on something from that label. He probably likes Lionel Ritchie as he's into 70's. ROD

Carstairs It really hurts... Elgins Heaven must have... Isley Brothers This old heart... Four Tops Shake me wake me Noted no Shades of Blue, Pete

yes good suggestions. You are aware of rules? If you don't have a copy you say so.

OK I have those and I guess Steve and Pete do so Carstairs It really hurts... Elgins Heaven must have... Isley Brothers This old heart... Four Tops Shake me wake me Mark b may be a problem though

Marvelous!! Do you want to put 5 more up then Steve? ROD

I did see them Steve and had none Im afraid. I've not got any Oscar Perry 45s either so that leaves again Carstairs Red Coach What about Billy Butler Sweet Darlin' Come on over to my side I'll bet you Burning touch of love Theresa Lindsey I'll bet you

And I've got to get the wife's tea on or I'll be for it. She thinks I just mess around on here all day. ROD

Next three please!! Carstairs + ?

Was that Schroedinger's Appreciations. You neither have it nor don't have it. You won't know till you open your record box? ROD
