i would recomend using johns auction, most of the time things on his auctions achieve a much higher price than an individual could hope to get for them, the few things he's auctioned for me have achieved on average around 25% more than the average selling price, so, even after he's taken his 15% commision ive still had a good result, however, unless its something stupidly rare they have to be at least a very strong ex- grade

i bought a copy of the lollipops on impact from an american dealer for ten dollars, it arrived with two records as stiffners...an unplayed copy of stevie wonder - nothings too good for my baby complete with juke box tabs in a company sleeve & some old doo wop thing on a very obscure looking label. i sold stevie wonder for a tenner & put the doo wop thing on ebay, it sold for just under 50 quid, thats what i call a result perhaps the strangest packaging ive ever had was back in the 80's....i bought a record from a well known dealer & tucked inside the sleeve was a wrap of white powder...now thats what i call customer service

here here....

stanley mitchell - quit twisting my arm walter jenkins - back in my life don varner - masquerade leroy taylor - oh linda patti williams - im doing the best that i can

by all accounts it is actually tommy tate, the b side of tommy tate's "im taking on pain" on okeh "are you from heaven" is very similar

well, if we're going to split hairs, then, how about..... al scott / mr soul - what happened to yesterday - genuine...covered for about the same amount of time as little ann, or the mello souls, covered by butch for about 10 years

two formats of demo..white label & red label same as the issue but with promo / d.j written on. whilst on the subject of this record, it states on the label taken from the motion picture "step out of your mind", has anybody seen this film ?, or know anything about it ?

today i kissed my new love / let me try......released on staff not carrie you upset me baby / take a chance on me......released on le mans not lanrod

different pressing plants...x stamped from the same place that did the shrine stuff. delta will be monarch from the west coast

ou beat me to it tony

the guy from swindon was danny huff, i used to hang around with him a bit in the 80's when he used to spend a bit of time in southampton visiting his girlfriend rowena, really nice guy, totally eccentric..danny everard was from cornwall originally, however he did support swindon town

if its styrene its propper, if its vinyl its the 80's boot

i picked on up at a boot sale yesterday morning for the princely sum of 5 pence

the demo i used to have played fine

to put it simply...... yellow trans american with drumstick stamp......1st issue orange trans american with drumstick stamp....2nd issue trans with drumstick stamp.....re issue (legal) yellow trans american without drumstick stamp.....boot

she sure was

t'other sides pretty good too dave

the best one i ever heard was when billy jollens (r.i.p) from york told me that george pep was actually the a team actor george peppard

the last time i saw the acetate was around 15 years ago, in carlos fortnums grubby mitts, he'd just aquired it from gary spencer. in a straight swap for willie & mighty magnificents i seem to recal

guy hennighan used to play it off an acetate (emidisc) at stafford, although it was guy who covered it up & played it he never actually owned a copy of the record, you can find out more about this on dave rimmers web site, where there is an interview with guy, in which, he discusses this subject www.soulfulkindamusic.net
