Barbara lynn, virtually every record is superb. Rob

I don't know about the reason it was released on Verve, but the one on Ebay yesterday is only the 3rd one I've seen, and the other 2 were in poor condition. I set my snipe at $151 and I was a pathetic 3rd. Anybody got one ? I need it to complete my Verve collection ( and about 10 others). Rob

Hi Just had an e-mail stating that all of their cases are half price until the 9th August. I've just bought 3 x 200 single boxes for £27.50 each. Bargain!! Rob

I have one of the Teac LPP1000 which I bought for almost £400 in May of this year. It has excellent sound and is decent quality. I'm using it to play my records that I am cataloguing. It is not as good as separates though. The lever that lowers the tone arm is a bit feeble and the radio isn't DAB, other than that it is very good. The ones on offer at £248 seem a real bargain, I wish I had waited 6 months. Rob Ps: It is Bluetooth enabled, so you can play tunes off your phone if you want.

I have a mint copy of this (not for sale), It came in a £1 soul pack along with Connie Laverne 'can't live without you. That pack must have been one of the best bargains of all time. Rob

There are 2 Sylves prices in the guide. £30 for the Chess distributed and £40 for the bars design. If you are lucky you can sometimes get them at those prices. Rob

Stock copies do exist. I don't think this is particularly rare and is listed at £20 in Manships guide. Having said that I've been collecting Verve for years and only seen a vg- stock copy. Rob

Yes, I know that, but it was also released on verve no 10609. Thanks Rob

Need these 2 for my collection Andre Williams-Do It- Wingate 021 (stock copy preferred) Porgy & Monarchs- That's my girl - Verve 10609 Must be excellent or better. Many thanks Rob

Can anybody confirm that this Is WDJ only (according to Discogs). I could swear I saw a stock copy for sale last year but didn't buy as it was only VG-. Thanks Rob

I see that this goes for about £200 now. Does anyone know why?. I know it has been sampled a few times. Anyone got one for Manships guide of £20 !!! Rob

Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I've just finished reading 'Always magic in the air' by Ken Emerson a book about New Yorks Brill building writers from the 60's. Although not strictly about Soul there are hundreds of references to our heroes. A highly recommended book and I got my copy for only £2 from Bibleophile. Rob

'Times a wastin' Fuller Bros 'Remember' Whispers 'Sugar pie honey' Promatics All with the same backing track Rob

What do you think of this incredible piece of music written by Donnie Elbert. A truly stunning vocal. Just bought one from Manships for only £10 Rob

Anybody know when this was recorded? It sounds very early and I can't see it in his Discography. Thanks Rob
