When I started to read that description, I thought it was a bargain, until I saw the actual record was not really anything to do with the Beatles, just someone who just happened to be around at the same time. But there are Beatles fanatics out there by the thousands - maybe the winner knew what they bought. Many years ago, I saw a ridiculous item go through eBay - It was just a scrap of paper that had recording notations on it, but it turned out to be recording levels for an Elvis Presley track at Sun. Apparently there was some provenance with it and I think it was well into 4 figures ($).

Don't think the Moments have been mentioned ... Just Having Your Love I've Got The Need

This is the boot from late '83 / early '84 (vinyl, not styrene)... Cheers Mick

works fine in chrome

Quite true, it's just that the actual increase itself is so much, rather than the final values themselves

UK to UK at present for up to 250g is £1.09 --- this goes up to £1.20 --- so that's only an 11p increase Recorded Delivery is an additional 77p at the moment --- tomorrow becomes 95p add on --- an extra 18p These increases aren't that much really. However sending abroad from the UK is the one that will hurt the most. UK to Europe at present for 140g is £1.79 ---- this goes up to £2.93 --- if it's 160g then £3.16 UK to Worldwide at present for 140g is £2.60 -- this goes up to £3.90 --- if it's 160g then £4.50 Those are massive increases that will affect anyone in the UK sending records abroad.

Yeah, thinking about it its probably more like $7-$8 these days, so not too much of an increase - thanks Bob

Is that US to US ? What can we brits expect as a typical postage to pay when buying in from US - at the moment its about $6 / $7 on average

For sending abroad from the UK is the one that will hurt the most. UK to Europe at present for 140g is £1.79 ---- this goes up to £2.93 --- if it's 160g then £3.16 UK to Worldwide at present for 140g is £2.60 -- this goes up to £3.90 --- if it's 160g then £4.50 Those are massive increases that will affect anyone in the UK sending records abroad.

Hi Neil Trying to contact you, could you give me a bell. Thanks Mick

Just had a look through popsike, but some of the recent ones aren't there - This one was the $565 / £350 silliness ... https://www.ebay.co.u...nc#ht_807wt_924 Cheers Mick

I'm amazed at the recent prices for this record - yesterday or the day before an original went for £350, and a green boot was well into 3 figures not too long ago. Even the maroon reissues are kind of high in price - All these high prices seem to be in the last 3 or 4 months. Is there some recent demand for this?

Add to that the long intro take of Frankie and the Classicals and the Burning Emotions / The New World, and that's about it. Once heard there was a version by Globetrotters on RCA Acetate, but never heard any more about it, so that may well be false.

Maybe not the "greatest", but both damn good ... Justin - "What Can I Do" Paul Smith - "I'll Run"

Thanks for the info Dave - didn't realise about the parking, so I'll put your message up right here ... *************************************************************************************************************************************** I think it would be a very good idea to let people know of the lack of parking around the church and to get there early. The Church has a very small carpark at the front (20 cars max)and is in a very narrow residential road. The same with the Labour In Vain Pub carpark (20 spaces). Stoubridge Junction railway station is circa 50 yards up the road from the pub and a five minute walk away from the church but although it has over 400 spaces it's strictly for rail users with all the subsequent clamping/fines bollocks to boot. There are plenty of pay and display carparks in Stourbridge 15 minutes walk away but these will be busy during the week more so as they are demolishing the town centre multi-storey carpark. It might be easier for people who are travelling to catch the train to Stourbridge Junction ? Regards Dave Welding ***************************************************************************************************************************

Sorry Pete, but yes I did, the very first time I ever heard / saw it. Clever, aren't I ? Cheers Mick

Got a 70's reissue here ... https://northernsoulrecords.com/recordsreissues.shtm Cheers Mick

"A Day In Sausalito" - It's the flip of "Double Cookin'" by the Checkerboard Squares

Ian, I spoke to you yesterday and told you I wouldn't be posting anything on a public forum, however I know in my heart that I have to. I've known both you and Helen since the mid-seventies, although in the last 20 years since I got back into the scene again, our friendship grew to the point where you both classed me as "family", an honour I always felt was wonderful and warming. Helen told me on more than one occassion that I was like a brother to her, and Helen was indeed the sister I never had. We would always meet up during the week and go to Pub quizzes (we even one once, although I think the music round helped on that, being 100% Motown that week!!) When Ryan came along we would still go out, although alternately. One week I would go to the pub with you, whilst Helen stayed in, and the next week, I would go out with Helen. We had so much fun on those occasions, drinking a little to much and talking about everything and anything. Always laughing. I have always treasured these times. I can remember one incident, when I brought Helen home after one of our mid week sessions. We sort of 'bounced in' the house, well past closing time, talking too loud, laughing at God knows what. I went into the lounge first and Helen followed, nearly tripping over a completely flat floor at the lounge doorway. Quick as a flash, she shouted out "That floors bent!!". It was a priceless comment, and within 5 seconds she had me sn*****ing and somehow thinking that the floor was indeed bent and you should do something about it. "It's not the floor, it's you, you're drunk", you said. "I'm NOT drunk, it's the floor, someone could fall over there". Wonderful !! There is one other time that I remember vividly. In the late nineties, I was on the door at Bretby with Helen and both of us had to fight back a few local troublemakers through a nearly closed door. We managed to get the door closed and just fell about laughing, I think both of us had small bruises and a black eye that night. For years after we would often think of that night and although it should have been solemnity, we always ended up laughing about it. Helen would always be there to help in anything she possibly could, either physical or emotional. On three seperate occasions she spend the best part of a day each time helping me paint my flat, swap out and fit a new carpet, and then a couple of weeks later pull apart a remove an old suite. We were stuck in a door frame for about three hours using bread knives to saw our way through a massive couch. I was all for giving up after ten minutes, but Helen wouldn't have any of that, so somehow, with the bread knives and a hammer, we finally freed it and got it out. If it hadn't been for Helen I would, to this day, still have the old carpet, the old couch, and the old paint. She was also a great comfort to me when my Dad died 6 years ago. She was there for me then as countless other times. I will miss Helen so much, and have been devastated by her passing. She was and always will be, the sister I never had. You and Ryan are always in my thoughts, and my feelings go out to you both so much. All my love Mick

Just added that the funeral will be as 2:00pm. Not sure if the reception after will have a buffet, but will add as soon as I know.

The funeral of Helen Pereira will be on Thursday 26th April 2012 - 2:00pm at ... St Marys C Of E Church The Rectory Rectory Rd Oldswinford Stourbridge DY8 2HA This will be directly followed by drinks and reminiscences at a pub about 100 yards up the road from the church ... The Labour In Vain 59 Red Hill Stourbridge DY8 1NG In the evening, there will be a Soul Music Remembrance Dance, celebrating the music and dancing life and loves of Helen, and open to everyone, NOW at ... The Connaught Hotel 40 - 50 Tettenhall Road Wolverhampton WV1 4SW 8:30pm - 1:00am It has been necessary to move to the nearby Connaught Hotel for two reasons: because the Mount was insisting that all the DJs have insurance (!?),and a bigger venue is now needed (the Connaught holds 400). Most people know the Connaught Hotel from the many Soul Nights that have been held there over the years. It is a perfect, smart venue with a large, sprung dancefloor which Helen loved dancing on. Any more info, I'll add as soon as I know. Any one wishing to contact Pep - please feel free to ring anytime on 01654 710264 If this post is in the wrong section, MOD's please feel free to move it Thanks Mick Holdsworth ************************************************************************************************** Here is some additional info from Ian ... Flowers are welcome of course delivered to the Church, St. Mary's, Oldswinford, Stourbridge on the morning of her funeral on Thursday 26th April. Interflora and others usually do this kind of thing for well-wishers. Alternatively bring the flowers with you to the church before the service at 2pm. They can also be sent/delivered to Sanderson Funeral Services, Merridale Street, Wolverhampton between now and then. Helen will be lying in the Chapel of Rest at Sandersons on the day before the funeral, for anyone wishing to see her once more. Instead of flowers, charitable donations can be made to Mary Stevens Hospice by way of donations at the church service itself, via a collection being organised by St.Mary's. Nearby Mary Stevens Hospice (where my family was born when it was a maternity hospital in the fifties/sixties) were very amenable to Helen's needs near the end of her life, and provide superb palliative care to cancer victims. They rely on charitable donations. All the hundreds of sympathy cards will be kept and treasured forever by me and Ryan. Thankyou everyone for the many lovely cards and messages within them. Please, anyone who will be sending or bringing cards, can you put your contact details in so I can thank you or keep in touch with you in the months and years to come. I am also looking for any old (or more recent) photos of, or with, Helen in them. Please post them here on Soul-Source or eMail them to: mr.soul@live.co.uk Anyone can phone me on 01654 710264. I love talking to soul friends old and new, and will catch up with many of you soon. Love and great appreciation.

Got a Demo here ... https://northernsoulrecords.com/items/details/895-SandyWynns-TheTouchOfVenus.shtm Delta is 55187 / 55287x - Monarch stamp and DST-005 / DST-006 (UK grading would be about Ex) Cheers Mick

Yes, the LP was called "the supremes" from 1975 - UK / US release - a few on eBay at the moment

Thanks - I saw the labels, that's what made me ask the question. As there's no street listed at all on the "top" scan, it didn't necessarily mean the address was in Chauncey St. The second "bottom" scan is clearly Chauncey St. but I wondered if they just omitted the street name and number in the first scan, or was there some relocation going on within Brooklyn. At the end of the day, it wasn't all that important, it was just seeing the two together that prompted my curiosity. I'm sure that Deep Sounds was indeed at 118 Chauncey St., but just wondered if anyone knew for sure (eg. old photos etc.) Cheers Mick

Was "Deep Sounds" at 118 Chauncey Street ?
