Met him in Chicago a few years ago. Discussed his outing on Albatross which he remembered instantly. Very good recall for facts. Lovely man and sadly missed. (Don't we say this too often nowadays)

I'm hoping some of the dealers on here can help me. What would the rough postage be on one 45 sent regular mail. no insurance to Switzerland? Thanks for any help guys. Dave

PMD You.

PM'd you.

John manship charged me £450 for one about four years ago. Apparently he gave Ivor Jones four hundred for it. Just another example of why I don't buy expensive semi knowns anymore.

Once again asking for a British copy. Top cash waiting for a nice clean copy. Please pm quickly if you are considering selling. Best wishes Dave

Looking for a nice clean copy on UK Action. Let me know your price. If I have no luck there I would settle for a pink Duke promo. Hope someone can help. Thanks Dave

Hi Tony. Good to see your name on here. dave

Hi Denny. See you in Spain? Greety

Currently on JM's auction this fabulous uptempo rarity, another site sold this for £850 not too long ago. Lovely mint minus copy. £750 inc Special Delivery. PM or email dgreet211@btinternet.com Cheque or cash preferred, paypal ok but buyer pays charges. Best wishes Dave

I've got a mint minus copy. I paid Soul Sam five hundred at the Orwell for this. Would want something not too far away from that. Best wishwes Dave

I always thought the producers name on the label meant an original. (Elija Cole is it?)

I'm sure that joke of a site RareNorthern Soul had one up for £2500 not long ago.

I was too young for those early days but anybody who could turn up and break records of that calibre and in that quantity has my full respect. I hope life gets a little easier for you in the future Tony. Sincere best wishes.

I've got a nice clean copy. Spotless vinyl and labels. £300 plus pand p if you are interested. Best wishes Dave

Sold Lester Tipton to Chris Plant at Stafford for £40. Thinking, oh I'll get it back. Double d'oh!!!

Hello mate. Think I've got one somewhere. Is it a pale blue label? It might take me a while to find it. Before I start what price would you pay? Best wishes Dave

I used to go to Florida on holiday (oops vacation), regularly a few years ago. I used to find some great stuff around Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. I am still in touch with a guy called Kelly and there is a guy in Palm Beach called Steve. Goes under the name of "Always Buying". Kelly has been ill recently but I can always send you his email and he would hook you up with Steve. Kelly had lots of soul stuff but I cannot be sure if he is still active. Hope this helps Dave

Hi Natalie. I have a nice green original of Maurice Williams for £100 if you want it. ATB Dave

Is that the other side of "Don't turn your back on loving"? If so, I have one somewhere. What are you offering? Best wishes Dave

Merry Christmas everyone! Yo ho ho Burp!!

Talking of his breakfast show. I was stunned a few months ago when climbing back into the van I was in time for the second verse of Sandy Waddy "Everything is Everything". Someone had picked it for Moira Stewarts Golden Oldie at 7.30. Did anybody else hear this?

I can remember, as can older Soul Sourcers, there used to be a Saturday tea time Soul show on Radio One. Hosted by Dave Symons as I remember. Anyway, this week young Pete Waterman was a guest on the show as he was a fairly well known dj around the midlands. I can recall him playing the O'Jays "Working on your case" and Dave Symons commenting that PW was doing a tribal war dance around the studio. My point being that years ago he was no different from any of us. So the guys done well for himself financially but at least he came from the same musical background as we all did! And on the way to making a fortune perhaps he did sacrifice his musical credibility. (To Soul fans anyway). But he would'nt have done so well having Rick Astley cover Northern favourites would he? I like the guy.

Just to state the obvious. Is there a greater feelgood record then "Out on the floor"? One of the first records most of us will have heard in our early days on the scene. A very talented musician as well as a provider of great mempries. God bless you Dobie.

Northernwise for me it has to be Jodi Mathis, can that girl wail!! Herman Lewis and Eddie Whitehead right up there as well. So many others but I could never leave out The Dramatics "Hey you get off my mountain".
