Had a great time at the Northern Disco party in Manchester when Rahaan was on. Gutted I missed the recent Theo Parrish gig due to work up here. Cheers Phil

Sheepherders For $2400?
Hi Russ Hope you well. My mate Alex Jones has had this since early 9T's and did play it out (still does), can't remember if he covered it up or not. Think he used to play it at Johnny Beggs Congleton Nighters for sure and Paul Johnson's Westhaughton nights but it never really took off. Not a bad tune. Cheers Phil

Kings Of Soul On Ebay
Hi Chris Hope you well. Think before you and Shifty found them was possibly about 5 known copies in the UK. Rod Shard and Alex Jones found 3 mint copies I think was very early 9ts (Alex kept one, Butch had one I think and I got one). I remember talking to someone about it at possibly the first cleethorpes and Andy Davies was stood next to us and said he had a copy that he had from the Bowl a few years earlier so that was the four I knew about at the time. Think Tim Brown got one a few years later. Agree its a great little tune that has taken a while to eventually take off and I'm glad to see that it's going for this sort of cash. Take it easy Cheers Phil

Some Tough/pricey Wants
Nice record. Also came out on a red born label which is what i have it on. Got a good few years ago possably off soul sam. Sorry not for sale. Before I got that copy my mate Skelly lent me his copy to play out in early 90's. That wasn't water damaged but there was lots of spelling mistakes in the typing. Try Alex Jones I think he had a blue one for sale. alex.allamerican@lineone.net Cheers phil

Post Stafford Classics
Hi I got the Robert Tanner early 90's on a trip to states. Came from Lew Stanley. Sort of semi interesting tale associated with it. Was over with Alex Jones and the hire car was playing up. So Alex dropped me off at Lew's then went to get car sorted. I had the cheap Temptones on arctic - Lew wanted it and offered me Robert Tanner. Deal done before Alex got back! - but he did get some great tunes as well. Sam and a few others did try and get it out of me before they secured copies a couple of years later. Couple of others for the list Soul Bros Inc- Salem Minors-Lonely Boy Chuck Vallent and the Prophets - Damon Acetate Sophisticates - Underground Sounds Some of Alex Jones cover-ups - Plays one called "Hangin on In" great Tune and many more. Cheers Phil
