Don't know about repairing but if the crack is at the edge, carefully dab on a small spot of superglue to prevent movement and further cracking. Be patient and careful that it is set near perfect before glueing and always dab the edge downwards towards glue, this stops glue creeping into the vinyl groove or the music will suffer even more. Ps. Personally I have done this with at least 4 tunes that were worth holding onto with great playable results. If the opposite side is a rubbish tune, this can be "braced" with very thin paper and glue to further strengthen the playable side. Hope this helps to some extent but please as always, the decision is yours alone and I cannot accept responsibility H

Great memories of Mayfair Suite allnighters in Newcastle. Although a bit hazy with dj's and music played, must have been a good time if I went back again. I think it was about 84 which made me 15/16. Nae bad goin' fir a young un, a bit o' a Phileas Fogg in them days!!!!

Weird that its styrene and not stamped Andy, stumped! I thought the boot was in vinyl only, am curious. H

I used to work in Fort William and there was little Soul action there unless I took a few tunes down to Gregory's. The local DJ would play them for me while onlookers watched me doin kicks an spins to Johnny Wyatt.( on my own)lol. That was about 1985. Full of bikers and Ceilidh's. Poor promotion, Clutching at straws springs to mind. H

Nice one Frank, couldn't find it, knew it was somewhere, lol

PMSL

I think so, the man has done all this and more. H

Hi Ian, Good to have you on board! It does seem nowadays that everybody and their aunt are out there Dj'ing, and was wondering about the detriment to the scene. Does being a collector justify a good DJ because of the rarity of records they have, or the justification of a good DJ because of the formats/issues they have available in their box(OVO)? You probably know the route I mean with British releases sometimes championing a USA release due to scarcity. Also, What are you're views on present day DJ's and their attitude towards the "scene" and do you have any views at all on old school DJ's that have apparently sold off their collections but still doing occasional gigs. Yours in thanks, Haydn

I seem to remember a record shop just off Oxford St that used to have piles of mixed soul, Welsh Pete used to run it. Don't know if it is still there, maybe Ady can confirm cos I am sure Ady knew/knows him. Pete was a top bloke and seemed to know what I was looking for. Top end of Oxford St. Plenty of good stuff in beer crates, used to spend my wages in there, lol H

106 is the more common one Swifty. H

Correct Mark,Colin played it out at Shotts Allnighters, I think he covered it up as Junior Parker. Got one in the box but not seen any about, H

With you on this one, brilliant! Slipped it in during R&B set at the Belmont and went down a treat. Probably get another airing at the 'nighter. H

Same program featured an old cover-up "brotherhood of man" singing "reach out your hand " There was somebody else on too, ah Adrienne Posta, can't remember what she sung. Oh the 70's eh?

trying to attach pic but got a problem up my end, lol

Given away with Motown Chartbusters 5 Side one Supremes-Together we can make such sweet music Spinners-She's gonna love me at sundown Side Two Jackson Five-Goin back to Indiana Diana Ross-My place Four Tops-In these changing times Don't know pricewise, would have thought couple o' quid but who knows H

So true Chalky, Stopped searching Soulclub cos i got frustrated when they didn't have what I was looking for. Nearly always get a reply when looking for soundclip on ss. Although it leaks it to other ears,

It's been down for a few days now!!! Nobody knows, its a mystery, ssshhhh!

McVicar soundtrack is CLASS!!!!!!!.... One of the best soundtracks ever!!!! He's on the right road to good music Supercorsa

Oldest - 17 is now THE man on my old decks, mucho techno an garage giving me a tumour. Wish I hadn't gave him them now! Youngest - 7 is into owt inc HSC, please have pity,lol

I thought the seller was dreaming, might go back for the 3 albums I saw anyway for the quaintness. Funny how even the unusual may look as if it is worth a fortune!

And are they worth as much as the seller demands?

Cheers for that Flynny, Is the quality ok? Some of them look as if they were re-pressed from old stock. H

LOL, nice one, pmsl

LOL, we're up our own ars#s at times!!!!
