Anoraks Corner

I have a one-sided WD up for grabs: >>> LOOK HERE <<<

Great track...even better flipside imo. Fairly obscure...what do the valuation guides put on it nowadays?

Hi Darryl, It may surprise you and indeed Ray, to learn that all those artists you have mentioned had discs released in Japan around the time of their initial releases! Flynny

Charts = £25 Diplomats = £40 Sandy Waddy = £20 Shirley & Jessie = £15 (P&P = £5 per parcel...cheque or UK bank transfer only...no Paypal.)

Is this the same dude, who recorded on Jive in the 60's?

Here's a dandy pair of demos up for grabs Condition is fab on them both...not mint...but not far off! IDT = £200 CAS = £100 P&P = £5 Cheque or UK bank transfer only...no Paypal. (For anoraks: the flipside of IDT is 'I didn't know the inside story'.)

Is Tony going through a Sandie Shaw phase...again?

He's a Soulie. That clip was shot mid-way through a nighter in Osaka just for a larff...the main dancefloor is small so folk also dance outside and in the hotel lobby next-door, I kid you not! You can also see him on one of the infamous 'Northern Soul Picnics in Yoyogi Park' clips on YouTube. Kanta regularly supports Soul venues in Japan and travels many miles to dance/listen to the music we all love...including coming over to the Cleethorpes Weekender...where he won the dance competition. He is also a lindy-hop dancer and is a nice guy.

...and there's more:

"Lee Blackmore & The Soul Searchers", to be precise Soul Bowl had quantity at one stage and they were floating around London 100 Club/Record fairs for as low as £25 at one stage...we all had copies! (Ignore his other 45s on the label...not Northern). Ever-popular and an easy seller nowadays, mind!

Ripple Blast Singers and Hesitations still available, amongst others!

Most titles still available...trades always considered!

Nothing good enough to tempt me to part with it!

Thread hijack...nobody move! Interesting...have seen more Daran than Ja-Wes, personally OK...back to Oscar Wright

I was going to use the infamous, 'Minor spin for GuyH' maneuver, but I feared you would trump me with the faithful, 'Ah! But it was played at the 100 Club before Stafford', legend. Tricky game this record lark!

'Shelley Plastics'...based in Huntingdon Station, Long Island, near to NYC. By the way, according to Anorak's Corner ( ) during 1969, the "X" was replaced with a backwards "S" within a circle. Oscar Wright was a minor spin at Stafford...a real speaker-shaker-bass-line! I saw more East Coast Fairmounts during that period than any other format! The Hemispheres showed up en masses a few years later.

What was Florence like as a person/to deal with?
