So the rumour mill goes (Along with many other big titles) David but as always open to speculation / lies / jealousy etc etc Rich

Thanks for the discog. Sebastian - Have most if not all the Kellee P / OC Smith / Delegation /Sweet Cream. None of the Prime Cut 45s tho. Any good anyone? Use to like a bit of El Chicano in my old mod days too. Rich

If you can be bothered to type a list (or at least a partial one) I suggest getting them on Ebay as decent lots do tend to sell pretty well. You can always put a realistic reserve on them (or to escape any fees payable suggest offers are welcome...) Any choicier pieces you can always sell separately here or on Ebay. I would have thought many dealers are up to their eyeballs in 45s and wouldn't give too much for them unless there are choice pieces etc. Rich

Try here for some Southern Soul tunes! https://www.southernsoulradio.com/ Always enjoyable. Best, Rich

Was in a shop in Boston Usa, not Lincolnshire and the guy behind the counter said ' oh yes kellee patterson had over 300 of those on white demo but we got flooded - water damage and binned em. A case of wrong time in right place !!! www.cratesofsoul.com

Its one of them isnt it Macca? You've offered the guy his money back - So.. When you recieve the 45 from him (and sent recorded etc) then refund the f*****. I've had a few people on ebay saying such things and all I've said is ' Send it back and I'll refund you' No one evwer has. Rich

Nope! Totally Un-issued masterpiece! Rich

Thanks guys - Kellee P's I'm Gonna Love Ya seems to be quite elusive in respect to her other 45s. Think I might have a Sweet Cream 12 somewhere.. A neat label IMO with some good cheap as chips tunes. Best Rich

Have a few on this label - OC Smith / Delegation / Kellee P etc. Any other delights on this label? Listing anyone? Also - did the Cheyenne 'Come Back' get a release on 45 or is LP only? (This may go like my other label enquiries . . . ) Best Rich

Sent you an email Tom. Regards, Rich

Another great batch there and should be whole heartedly supported so that Kent/Ace continue to put out some new 45s. Have to agree with Mark - Charlie Rich on a 45 at last! Now that should be played out! Regards Rich

Depending on the day Tomangoes / Billy Arnell / Gwen Owens can all match a price of £50 or so. Amazing really - Wish I'd kept all mine that I bought when I were a kid in the mid 80s! Rich

PM Sent. Must say what a refreshing list of black music there. Makes a change!. Rich

As an aside to the that - If you look in the bargain bins at your local supermarket I think theres a cheapie CD which has some of the Maxx material on too. Rich

https://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/maxx.htm There you go Mal. Regards Rich

Guess so Chalky - Think the ones on JM seemed (like many other 45s) to have gone for more. Depends on how quick you want to sell it Sean! Regards, Rich

Around £400??? Regards, Rich

Wasn't that a bit cheap then for the Wand release? Regards, Rich

Thanks for the info/help guys - If I get any I'll let you know with scans etc. Best regards Rich

Many thanks for that Fredrik - Nice tune indeed. Just how tough is it to find then? On a par with Thompson Brothers? Rich

Isn't it the one on Cabell - JM auctioned one not too long. Rich

Kind of along the lines of what I was thinking Sean. Many thanks. Rich

Might have the chance to buy a few Stax / Atlantic type stuff on test pressings / acetates. Nothing rare or unreleased but from a historical point of view interesting all the same. As I don't see many about what's a reasonable value these days? Does anyone collect these? Thanks in advance Rich

Hi James An interesting concept and one which many of us have probably thought about in one way or another. Start up costs will be horrendous - Perhaps one way of doing it is buy an already established cafe and convert... Considering the amount of free publicity which could be used word should be able to be spread fairly quickly. Eg: Put on flyers / sites such as SS etc etc. I'm sure there's quite a few media savvy folk on here with connections who could also promote it too. As a young mod in the late 80s I used to love hanging out in the Cafes in Leeds with other mods etc and a focal point for collectors and like minded folk I'm guessing would be a goer. Who wouldn't want to hang out - Have a few beers and a dip thru someones sales box? But! As with anything it's a risk - Reliable trustworthy staff? Management? Suppliers? etc etc. Headaches yes - Rewards? Maybe. Best regards Rich
