Only recent tune I know that sampled Frank Wilson's DILYIID. It's at the end of the tune, starts at 2:58. Nice vid too if you're not afraid of some mild nudity ">

Got a bargain soul pack up for auction. 300 records, majority VG+ to Mint. Bidding starts at about £130 and there's a buy it now option for about £200. You can find it here: https://stores.ebay.co.uk/Diggers-Gold-45s Scroll down a bit and there it is... There's still quite a bit of nice 45s up for offers too, but you probably already figured that out.

That Skull Snaps album got booted (or was it a legit reissue? I seem to remember it wasn't.)

With your reputation/customer base I wouldn't go below £100. If it doesn't sell you can always lower the price, but I don't think that'll be necessary.

www.musicstack.com also has loads of records on their site. Comes in handy if you're looking for oddball stuff.
