Spot on Chalks. I'd say anywhere between 30-40 quid (if you can get that for it, still seems to be relatively unknown)

Few plays from last night at Burscough, about 60% of which were things folf asked for: Adventurers - nobody can save me Toni Washington - good things Lovations - later baby (thanks Joan ) Perfections - girl you better hurry Monique - I wouldn't believe Royal Imperials - this heart of mine Eddie Daye and Four Bars - guess who loves you Talmadge Armstrong - give it up Turbines - we got to start over Stunners - nobody ... Royal Robins - something about you sends me Little John - just wait and see Lovers - without a doubt Gladys Knight - tell her you're mine Cairos - stop overlooking me

Oh dear. Now that does look absolute bobbins

might have a spare OL Grant, I'll have a look mate. (It won't be 50 quid either if I have). Great underplayed tune

oh mate, genius Always was a big 'props' fan: coat-hangers, mail sacks etc etc. Tony L made me laugh out loud last week when he recalled another 'incident' whereby Gaz emerged into the dawn light sans shoes and socks; he'd swapped his brogues for a Hesitations record (and was well happy with the deal by all accounts)

Was chuckling t'other day about a Kellet escapade whereby he somehow 'found' a massive sheet of gold paper / foil (bit like those people get wrapped in after a marathon). He proceeded to wrap himself in it and career around the venue claiming he was a "werther's original", approaching unsuspecting victims with the immortal line "come and have a sweet of your old grandad"

Off at a bit of a tangent but ... ... Going back home to my parent's following a nighter passed through Dalton-in- Furness and was somewhat surprised to see what appeared to be a couple of rhinos in a field next to a dual carriageway. Spot on, they'd just opened a wildlife park although I didn't know that at the time. You can still see em to this day but it doesn't freak me out quite so much now as it did that morning. (It may be an urban myth but I'm led to believe that one of them subsequently got out and ran amok in Dalton which, for anyone not familiar with the place, is hardly a jewel in the UK's entertainment crown at the best of times. I'd have paid to see p*ssed people encountering that little scene at chucking out time. WTF ... )

Some great tunes in there Harpo, sorry I missed your set mate. Here's a handful I can remember playing 10-11: Vontastics - let me down easy (Toddlin' Town) George Tinley - ain't gonna worry (Doo Wop) Toni Washington - good things (Kon-Ti) Little Stanley - out of sight lovin' (Vance) Eddie Campbell - contagious love (Artco) Celebrities - didn't tell the truth (Boss) Robert Tanner - tell me your name (Megatone) Roy Wright - heartbreak (awful day) (Crash) James Dockery - my faith in you is all gone (Soul Craft) Reggie Lamont - can't get along (Mamies) Ducky & the Glowlighters - over and over (Uptown) Royal Imperials - this heart of mine (Mellow Town) Turbines - we've got to start over (Cenco) Strands - breeze from the trees (Tarx) Talmadge Armstrong - give it up (Spindletop)

Cheers Phil

Impeccable as ever mate

George T is absolute magic One record Trent Sisters - a letter a day (Gogate). Never had one or even a sniff but it's got the lot for me, absolutely awesome record and still to have its time in the limelight due to rarity I suspect. I'm v fortunate to have my other three all-time 'dream' tunes, none of which I thought I'd ever own, but I'd probably consider letting one of those go for a Trent Sisters. Funny old game innit; never bloody satisfied atb Phil

went to maybe half a dozen early 90s as I recall, when we were living in Brighton. Didn't know too many other punters but remember Lloyd n Julie of course and Rick in particular. Seem to remember things like Tangeers, Big Daddy Rogers and Patrice Holloway being spun on a fairly regular basis round that time. All good, happy days

PM me with price and condition cheers Phil
