i've been looking for that for the last 6 months but keeping it under wraps..... :angry: :angry: manship does have a copy at 250 which you could use as a reference for what you think you should be paying.

lets not forget "promises should never be broken" possibly her hardest to find ?

that avatar has sent me goggle eyed. I have set out to complete a couple of artists but never actually got the whole lot. Kim Tolliver / Briggs being one of them. I still need the chess LP (somebody help !!!) and I haven't bothered to pick up the castro 45. It is interesting when an artists has only made a small quantity of 45s yet all of them are of a very high standard. Makes you wonder why they didn't make more. And yet even though they have made only a handfull of 45s there is always one that seems to be totally elusive.... grrrrrrr. Jimmy Braswell an artist that springs immediately to mind. Every recording is outstanding.

This isn't right though is it ? the winner may have bid 100 pounds more than you but he only has to be one increment higher than the 2nd highest bidder to win the auction. I herar this comment "I was outbid by a very small amount" so so often but its just not the case.

its a great double sider but values of 100 and 150 seem a bit excessive. I'd be fairly confident in saying if i didn't already have this 45 I could secure a M- copy within the next say 3 months for around 40 quid. and it wouldn't take much effort either......

just seen this and it made me laugh.... "I have a list of 45 items dated back to 1960 and some are rare. I have no value in selling faulty items. All items are sold in working condition. " so where exactly does this fit into the g - vg - vg+ - m system ? this is a new seller with zero feedback so he may get the hang of it in the future.

I'd be keen to hear this as well and have never heard it either. I think I still have about 3 copies left of the double sided demo which is fantastic I must add..... Interestingly (or not ?) I have seen about 4 or 5 of the 45 with both sides go through ebay fairly recently.

I don't think he had the one we are talking about nicely avoided my though with a reference to the other title on the label.

I wanted Jimmie Raye "Philly dog" as a top want for ages. By the time I finally found a copy I didn't actually want it anymore. So not quite what you have asked but similar. My tastes for the collection have moved on. But it is a 45 that I would still love to hear in a venue just don't have any desire to own a copy.

curreent high bidder has baught stuff from me in the past good stuff as well :>) just sent him a friendly piece of advice.

I tend to only use .com due to time restrictions. I still find more to buy than what I can afford. Haven't realy noticed much difference. I thought everybody used .com as the primary source ? sometimes searches do redirect to .co.uk but hardly ever in my experience.

Thomas Bailey "Just won't move" Federal come on somebody this strutting southern mover will never work to a northern floor so you might as well offload it to me

mmmm.............

Ernie Rivers "A message to percy" Knox story of this one is on the net.

James Have you got Parliaments on Cabell yet

manship has some kind of contraption to take out warps. He charges for the service so only realy worth bothering if its a big money record. or is that a service he offers only for records he is then going to sell.......

and I never suggested loads of cheap spounds merely a few mixed in with the rare stuff.

I understand eveything you've said i'm not missing the point. I just buy what I can when I can simple as that. Now if I ever win the lottery I would put together a nice hotbox of my own

I agree a DJ spot should consist of a lot of prehaps very rare soul afterall the theory is we travel a long way to hear the stuff. But I don't think a night should be confined to just this. So much of the best soul music ever made costs $5 and probably never gets played in venues as a result of it being to easy to find. And I can't see Butch or Dyson or any of those top DJs signing up to this very blinkered approach. The can assemble a breathtaking hotbox but that isn't where it ends. Its more about a true passion for the music that keeps them at the top. So as much as I love the hot box sounds I want to hear something I can go away and buy fairly easily. I guess Mixed Feelings and Richard Marks "Innocent bystander" would be my choice for a 2006 hotbox I haen't heard my 2007 selection yet........ but i'm looking forward to it. Cookie Jackson "Find me a lover" could be propelled from 20 quid to 3 figures if a hotbox DJ gave it some hammer. I bet it would sound immense over a large system.

It's a good way to collect if you need your ego massaging or have a money tree in your back garden. Can't see the point in it myself. Now that Rayons Decca release I won on ebay last night would go my hot box if I had one but instead it will have to go next to their other rather dissapoiting Forte title on my "not-so hot shelves".

Patterson twins had 2 x 45s on King and then some others as well.

are these just the same takes as on king or different ?

I've seen that 45 on bantu quite a lot I think its by Gilmore Brothers ?

I still prefer "i'm through with you" but both sides are great.
