Philt

Sorted. Thanks

That's why the not knowing is always better mate (well, cheaper)

My ears are rubbish but think that's what your after. Came out on two labels; Monster Masters I think was the cheaper of the two, £150-200 maybe? Can't remember the other (and I might even have just made that up )

Ruby Jean - empty words. That what you mean Grant?

thanks Grant - only trouble was there was only you up mate Have a great Xmas and hope to catch up soon atb Phil

Not ventured that far and wide this year but of those I've heard play: Butch (still absolutely head and shoulders IMHO, whatever the genre) Andy D (keeps digging em out, old and new) Dave Welding (every record is quality and danceable) Jumpin Joan (how to string a set together i.e. not just 22 expensive records and get / keep a floor going) Killa (always imaginative, thinks about it and knows what to play when) Ion (only heard him once but enjoyed his set as much as any this year) Thanks to all of em for some top nights out Phil ps. Intent on a bit more travel next year and really looking forward to hearing the likes of Marc Forrest, Dave Abbott et al whose playlists always look good

Sorted. Thanks v much to those who PMd

Yeah, great record IMHO Ezz. Dropped one on price though and am looking for £500 or thereabouts as opposed to 650; dunno where I got that from atb mate Phil

No, lesson learned there T. (I've got her a top of the range tile-cutter this year; she'll love it, given she's so practical and that ...) Need to get some cash together otherwise these wouldn't be going anywhere

Reluctant sale of the following two rarities. Both are very clean (Ex+) and genuinely hard to come by. No trades or daft offers on these two thanks. Next stop ebay or dealer auction ... I'll do Spec Del. Oracles - I ain't got time (Om) £700 Sonics - find myself another girl (Almon) (promo stamp) £500 (sorry, overpriced this initially due to confusing it with something else) Sublime Texas mid-tempo rarity. Not in the guides. Had the odd spin in Europe. Very few copies around to best of my knowledge * SEE MY LAST PLAYED FOR SOUND CLIP (I usually play it pitched-up a tad) PM if interested. Cheers Phil

for you dear, course

Going (trade value-ish in brackets but always happy to negotiate) Deans - (lady of the) Caravan (StarMaker) Ex+ (70) - Spare copy of this rare early Detroit mid-tempo group spin which I think is brill. Pink first issue. Art Wheeler - that's how much I love you (Cee-Jam) Ex (90) - top drawer pounding oldie, nice clean issue too Jimmy Wonderful & the Honeybees - ain't nothin shakin here (Blue Star) Ex+ (300) - ex c/u, still hardly known and genuinely rare. Had nighter spins Tony Matthews - my wish (Convoy) Ex (400) - v slt ring mark on label which might even rub off, vinyl is great. All-nighter monster! Did go for 700 at one time Looking For Cheryl Burdell - giving it all to you (EMT) Eugene Record - overdose of joy (WB) *7" only, got the LP Connie Questell - give up girl / world (Decca) Daisy Burris - four strong winds (Deesu) Dennis Lee - sunday afternoon (Jenmark) Curtis - how can I tell her (Charm City) Alfie Davidson - love is a serious business (Mercury) Randy Brown - always in the mood (Parachute) If you are interested in anything or have any of the things I'm after for sale or (preferably) trade PM me, sure we can sort something out. Cheers Phil

Eyup bud, good to hear from you! Missed Bradford last night as supported local do in Orrell and my mate Mr Cunliffe. Still not feeling 100% but hope to catch you soon cocker. In any event atb to you n yours over the [so-called] festive period

Have moved remaining items to trades and swaps but cash always an option too of course. The Innersection - let me love yuh (Group 5) £350 Awesome x-over dancer of course and still packs dancefloors wherever it's spun. Labels v clean indeed and vinyl too; the odd v light mark is all. There is a tiny (and I do mean tiny - about the size of two pin heads) 'chip' (that's sounds a bit melodramatic actually) on the very edge of the lmly side. No dramas really but wanted to mention it; once it's queued-up, you can hear one v small and quick 'tick' on the first rev then off you go. Venturas - baby be mine (Daniels) REDUCED £165 Spare copy of this fantastic Chicago group dancer which is now getting the spins it so richly deserves. Lela Martin & the Soul Providers - you can't have your cake and eat it too (Melatone) REDUCED £80 This is an old school gritty, really uptempo dancer of course, originally spun by Pat Brady back in the day if I'm not mistaken (but probably am). Great condition and a very, very reasonable price too I think. Giving it away ... Rose Brooks - I'm moaning (Soul City w/d) REDUCED £160 Label on one side has signs of very faint ringwear but otherwise a dead nice copy of a great record IMHO The Deans - (lady of the) Caravan (Star-maker) REDUCED £90 Pink, stamped first issue of this early Detroit rarity. Quirky and catchy as a quirky, catchy thing and includes some pretty high-level flute action; gotta love that. Visitors - what about me / my love is ready ... (TRC) REDUCED £40 Few marks and I'd say a very decent vg+ overall, probably better. WAM seems to be getting played at most of the more prgressive nights in the NW at the mo and rightly so, top notch dancer that always gets em up. Entertainers - love in my heart (Symbol w/d) £70 Rarer w/demo. Great upbeat dancer in at least vg++ condition and at what I think is a v good price Godoy Colbert - I wanna thank you / baby I like it (Revue) REDUCED £50 Reduced still further . Current spins for Jumpin Joan among others and two really great dancers back-to-back. Mac and Barb & the Gamuts - hold me tighter (Pyramid) REDUCED £75 And now for something completely different ... ... not everyone's bag by any means, what with it's haunting quirkiness. Did have nighter spins a few moons back and just sounds like an all-nighter record IMHO. Whatever, it's certainly a damn sight harder than the 75 quid I'm asking for it. I'd say it was at least a strong vg+ condition; the odd low-level bit of background crackle here n there but nothing much. Genuine bargain Tony Diamond - don't turn away (Blue Rock w/d) REDUCED TO £65 Slightly grubby labels and lots of very fine but light marks that don't affect play to any real extent at all. So, high class record which books at 200 mint and which has retained it's credibility among the 'connoisseurs' over the years. Always thought this sounds magic over a system. Can't really be done can you? Thelma Lindsey - prepared to love you / why weren't you there (Magic City) £200 One of the all-time great Detroit double-siders IMHO. Two awesome dancers, take your pick. Roy Handy - baby that's a groove / monkey see - monkey do (Stephanye) £30 This'll take you back to that misspent youth. Strong vg++ at worst Kelly Brothers - love time (Sims) £25 Precisely as per Roy Handy above The Night Watch - lips to your heart (abc w/d) REDUCED TO £25 What might best be described as a manic "blue-eyed stomper", or words to that effect anyway. Certainly remember it seeing plenty of action at Morecambe mid 80s but strongly suspect it hit the odd turntable at various nighters long before that. You know when people talk about forgotten oldies, well here's one on a clean white demo for just 25 quid. Broadway Express - what love can do (I&D) £50 Another that's hugely synonymous with Morecambe to my ears. Seemingly forgotten and a third of the book price. A nice vg++ Misty Moore - little things (Pzazz) £90 Great underrated west coast dancer. Formerly covered-up as Cheryl Ann and a record that really needs a push again IMHO This copy has a fair number of v light marks but they dnap. Easy vg++ I'd say Jimmy Helms - that's the way it is (Oracle) £60 Started to get mentioned in one or two despatches again recently. Very, very good semi-known uptempo dancer and not that easy to pick-up. If you had a punt on it 'blind' I don't think you'd be disappointed - clip in refo though so no need Lou Roberts & the Marks - ten to one (MGM demo) £35 Quality oldie for next to nowt. Charades - love of my life / can't make it without you (Okeh) £45 Really nice issue copy; most of em I've seen have been demos. Very good record too IMHO. Thanks for having a look. I hope there's something of interest and at the right(ish) price for you. If so, or if you fancy a civilised haggle, drop me a PM and I'll get back to you asap. atb Phil

John O asked me to post as playlist so here it is, two half hour sets in no particular order: Shades of Jade - is it wrong (Cenco) Majjestees - take back all those things (Mutt) Puzzles - my sweet baby (Fatback) Lee Tillman & Secrets - she's the one I love (Whit) Sam and Kitty - all alone C/U Harold Burrage - fifty fifty (M'Pac) Martha Carter - can if you think you can (Ronn) Visitors - what about me (TRC) Winfield Parker - I'm on my way (Spring) Big Don's Rebellion - it was true (Ethon) Les Chansonettes - don't let him hurt you (Shrine) Eddie Daye - guess who loves you (Shrine) Terriffics - leave us alone (Diamond Jim) Little Curtis & Blues - please keep me (Vanco) Bull & the Matadors - if you decide (Toddlin Town) Lee McKinney - I'll keep holding on (Sable) Fantasians - GI Joe (we love you) (Thomas) Kenneth and Delroy - let me hold you close (Steeltown) Bob Marshall & Crystals - you've got me crying (L-Rev) Oracles - I ain't got time (Om)

Luther's is the superior version IMHO and I flogged one v recently for 200

SORTED cheers Phil

Hi still got quite a bit of unwanted vinyl floating around which I need to move on. Some nice additions to what's been left from recent lists on here and I've tried v hard to keep prices as low as possible (do tell me if I've dropped any bllx / if there are any anomalies though). Nothing mega rare in here but some decent records at pretty good prices I hope. Happy to consider like-for-like trades if you just fancy a bit of a change about. If you want to make an offer feel free but if it's miles out I'm afraid I just won't respond. Have a good look then and hope you find something you're after. Cash, cq, paypal (as gift) (Philip@threlfall.fsbusiness.co.uk) all ok. I'll do postage on anything over £100 otherwise it's standard rates UK and Europe, depending how you want em sent. Graded as tightly as poss and all Ex unless stated. Money back if you're in any way unhappy. Oh aye, I'll consider any serious offers for the lot. If you can wheel n deal em then fair play Cheers Phil First few as priced individually Tony Matthews - my wish (Convoy) £500 Slight grubby ring on label but vinyl is cleanest I've ever had and EX at least.

V small wol and one or two superficial marks on vinyl; strong vg+ I'd say Lamont Dozier - dearest one (Mel-o-dy) £50 slightly grubby label and vinyl a nice vg++ Drapers - you got to look up / your love has gone away (Gee w/d) £50 At least Ex again. Virtually giving it away and two great sides! Ray and Dave - wrong, wrong, wrong (Mica) £50 Ex cond spare copy; what a record this is! All £40 each Jackie & Tonettes - the proof of your love (D-Town) Clean and a ridiculous price IMHO; great Detroit Appreciations - she never really loved me (Sport) As above Merle Spears & the Treats - I wanna know (Whit) One of the best rnb dancers of the past 10 years and a giveaway on the rarer label Gerri Taylor - empty arms and bitter tears (Constellation) vg+, plays great, bargain for this brill Chicago dancer Frankie Newsom - taunting love (USA) vg++, books 100 Lee Wilson - lonely boy (USA) as above Delilah Moore - I'll just walk away (Money) Ex condition and nearly half price for this x-over winner All £25 each Bobettes - mr Johnny Q (Gone) Ex cond.

Great tune, former Stafford spin of course Luther Ingram - I can't stop (Ko Ko) Had a few plays, another steal at 25 quid Vivian Copeland - I don't care what he's done (in the past) Mala demo strong vg+. Plays fine and certainly not a 25 quid record Values - return to me (Invicta) Pretty tough group mid-tempo tune. Books 150 as I recall but gawd knows why Sophisticates - back up baby (Sonny) Great dancer Jive Five - If I had a chance to love you (Decca) strong vg+ I'd say, plays great and for nowt! £20 each Dolly & Fashions - absence made my hearet grow fonder (Tri-Disc) Always loved the way this builds and builds.

Many thanks Phil

Dead helpful as ever! Many thanks for responses Phil

Mace, trust you to add that essential touch of gravitas to the mix. PMSL

Pale blue and on my list

Kinell, only Gaz. Tell him I miss him (but not on Sunday mornings). He'd be right up there at the top of my list for sure; here's the rest (characters that is, loads of folk I've the utmost admiration and respect for of course): Ian C (had everything, knows everything and everyone) Mickey C Joan Malcolm from Stockport (for his vest n dancing at Morecambe) Big Scotty (for his whistling - good call that man - and black hands. Told me he was a dentist ) Alan Coney (for various high jinks involving wrestling masks etc) Joey Dunlop Killa (for eating an apple live on the radio and his CDs) Keb n Guy for playing em and Barry Wad for finding em Nearly forgot ... Banksie (for his all round juvenility and especially for his professionalism when introducing Daisy Burris's 'four strong winds')

mine is and someone, Bob Hinsley I think originally, has made a nice little adapter for it
