Happy Feet

" Rarity and value is another sticky subject though ? " Spot on Dobber

I was really deeply worried when all this AI created music was first mentioned & the name Levine would pop up , remember LJ Johnson , Your Magic Put A Spell On Me , floor packer , especially the Casino of all places , What's it worth now £1. If you're lucky & hopefully that's where this lot will end up , in the charity shop racks

Yes I'm sure the it's the older sleeves only on the Ace/ Kent site , but Mark , Wiganer1 in his response above has offered you his spares for free , have you pmd him yet ? Good lad is Mark .

A few years ago my Mother in law used to work for a well known cut price chain in Coventry. She witnessed a youth casually walking around the ailes filling his bag with goods , he had no intention of paying for, and then he casually walked out , pass the security officer & legged it . Gobsmacked she took off after him telling the Security what had happened , The thief/ shoplifter got away & on returning to the store was taken to the office & reprimanded by the manager , for her actions deemed by the company as putting herself in danger ie. the youth could have been carrying a weapon & it wasn't her job to chase after the thief / shoplifter . After that her attitude was help yourself, and she carried on shelf filling until she retired .

You read my mind Robert , great voice too Soulful for Motown so I've read somewhere.

Remember Family Affair, Love Hustle , Pye , released in 76 possibly being the 1st 12" being played at venues . Still available on discogs from as little as 96p. Used to get quite a good response from the dance floor .

Hi Mike , Speak To Me / Running , already out on a 45 , mine arrived on Monday Mark C. @ Simply Soul had them in early , was a pre- order . It's got dj copy printed on the label to , never realised until it arrived, wether they all have dj copy ?

My second order from the store , not discogs arrived in the condition stated Mint with original sleeve , 3 days after ordering , maybe I got lucky & nobody else wanted it 😅

Back in the early 90s , we went to see him in the musical stage play, " In The Midnight Hour " at The Belgrade Theatre in Coventry & after the show he joined a whole bunch of us for drinks in the bar , I don't think I've ever met such a happier guy with the most infectious laugh in my life , & he was absolutely brilliant live on stage .

Whenever I read these Trumped up prices , I often wonder if it's because somebody's found a few , & are just setting the bar high ? ( Just a thought that's all )

Happy 40th Birthday Eli , will this be available via a UK seller ? , watched the video absolutely fantastic version really enjoyed it .

Has anybody ever seen or lucky enough to hear the Gigi acetate or on tape etc , I bet that would've been worth a listen .

I agree but to be honest I didn't realise until the refund notice was issued , but I have since ordered another from the store not discogs using the halfprice code , & looking at what other outlets had it priced at , I'm very happy .

Hi Zanetti , I know Ace Kent records sell both Kent Select & City , sleeves but I think they call them record bags , £1.49 each I have bought off them a few at a time when required . I haven't yet seen the new Select / City sleeves for sale yet , if it's that pattern you require. I've pmd with a link .6

Only 3k people involved with the claim , they're lucky it's so few, the practice of shaking talcom powder on probably every child's body , since it was invented I'm surprised it not millions of claiments

Order placed 14th , via Johns Discogs site , completely forgot about the 50% sale . 16th a 50% refund & a notice of both refund & shipped , 17th record in the postbox at the normal postage rate , in the condition stated , credit where credits due .

I'm sure it was used at the Casino if only to dry out the soles of your dancing shoes , after a visit to the toilets , and any venue with a Lino type dance floor .

I said I would ask him , if I bumped into him & whilst out walking Vincent our 6 month old Blue Whippet this evening , who got on rather well with Robert , I asked him how it came about that he sang " I've Got A Secret " etc . He told me that Ed Kassner ( of Ed Kassner Music Ltd. ) had sent his team a One- Derful acetate to listen to & record which he did . He honestly didn't know The Sharpees had previously recorded , the group name wasn't on the Acetate , not one of his favourite songs & admitted he struggled with the key , too high for his range . Just a quick footnote , I did tell Robert why I was asking him , & he gave his blessing for me to update .

Slightly off topic , The Chateau Impney is currently closed & in a sorry state , but plans are afoot for demolishing all of the ugly extensions that have been built over the years , restoring it to it's original beauty & functional rooms , & the building of over 100 new homes on the surrounding grounds , not before time .

Hi Dave , Have pm'd Dave

Not a clue , but if I bump into him in Mr Tees , Kidderminster I'll ask him . When he stood in on 6 Music DJing ( not sure who for , may have been Craig Charles vacation) his 1st choice was , Vernon Garrett , Shine It On , probably on Stateside demo , which he told us it was probably his all time fave Soul / RnB tune . I know he has a collection of , at last count 1 million albums & 45s combined ( still growing ) & is a big fan & collector of the Ace/ Kent output , so he's never turned his back on his Soul / RnB roots , just choose to go down a different path experimenting with different musical influences & still is .

It was 2002 , she came I'm told directly from the Paris Jazz festival & had obviously brought that performance not a Northern Soul set , very sad to witness as the audience wasn't expecting what they heard and soon let her know , very upsetting actually.

Hi Ady, Have pmd Dave

Not so Billy Butler at the Casino , or the 1st visit by Betty Lavette at Blackpool
