Hi Peter It was never released by the originals. It came from the big acetate find some 25/30 years ago under the working title "baby have mercy on me". I was fortunate enough to see Freddie Gorman And the rest of the band including his daughter perform it at Richards 50th birthday at the ritz in Manchester. I also went to John Manships where he had the acetate haul. Myself and Andy Rix took the haul back to Boston where Ndy catalogued everything. All those acetates in the boot of a ford escort..... Hmmmmmm

Ok, will do hytones as requested Steve

So why the 33rpm option on a 45 only deck (yes I know they did ep's at 33 but few and far between) and also it's incomplete. Wheres that damned adaptor gone eh?? Steve

Hi sheep, Have a mint minus hytones with just a very small mark on the label (see post in sales for photo) which ill do T £500 inc UK delivery Best Steve

Hi, not really sure where to pit this but, I'm looking at selling about 15 Motown 45's with pic sleeves. Is there an interest before I put them on e bay or on sales here.

Has the tax year ended... ????

Hi, I have a mint minus copy I'd be willing to let go. Pm me Steve

Got it on both trey and capitol ep. Both up for grabs. Steve

Got a mint one but top end price-wise Steve

The progressive side of things was my attempt at describing the kind of venue that is forward thinking enough to not play "played out" oldies (very much a la Horse & Groom as mentioned) and as far as crossover is concerned, late sixties through to mid seventies quality soulful tracks without being the more trditional out and out northern stomper. A much slower kind of tempo if you will. Like I say, my take on it. No doubt there will be many other varying opinions Steve

Just a quickie.... With it's slightly funky edge, is or has anyone been playing the flip to the Seven Souls "I Still Love You" - "I'm No Stranger". I know its not as "northern" as the classic side but it would fit in with a crossover / progressive set at such a venue. Can't think I've heard it out myself hence the question. Cheers Steve

You're right Peter, he used to turn up some corkers. Had many a happy trip over to his folks house in Sandbeck Avenue to collect the latest finds and let him relieve me of some cash Steve

Discovered by Mr Raistrick, he of Skegness fame Steve

Hi Tony, Sorry hadn't seen your previous posts / PM,s until now. Yes I still have the Ron Baxter. If you want to send a cheque that's fine. Please make payable to Steve Handbury. Best Steve

OK folks, What would be a realistic asking price for a complete set of Grapevine 45's (the yellow series)... some without centres, some demo's, most I would say in a used but VG+ at least condition, some actually unplayed and there could well be a few duplicates in there too. Over to you Steve

Well spotted Sir.... The lead singer is Vinnie Esposito, Benny Troy's cousin and kind of part time manager. Of course Benny was originally known as Benny Lamana. Vinnie is on Facebook if you want to add her Best Steve

....and you know who the lead is on the Party Favours don't you??? Guess the connection Steve

Hi, Just a couple up for grabs this week (for now anyway)... Chip Tyler "Because I Love You" Chickory (VG+++) £275.00 inc postage to UK address.SOLD Ron Baxter "This Is It" Ole-9 (M-) £425.00 inc postage to UK address SOLD Payment by cash, cheque, bank transfer or PO. Sorry, no Paypal. Thanks for looking Steve

Just dragged 'em out the box ..... Probably go in sales over the weekend. Steve

It may take a while as some are boxed in the loft etc and there's probably more than the 60 I first mentioned, but I'll get a list together. Steve

See.... I knew I wasn't dreaming

It became an overspill as far as I'm concerned and a venue within a venue.

It had a hole in it!
