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

Hi, Just a couple for today. Hytones "Bigger & Better" A-Bet (Vinyl mint but just a couple of small marks on the label, otherwise very clean. £550 plus £5 secure delivery to UK address. (See photo) Limitations "I'm Lonely, I'm Troubled" Bacone (Vinyl mint, labels mint) £250 plus £5 secure delivery to UK address. (See photo) SOLD Payment by cheque, cash, PO or bank transfer. Sorry NO Paypal Cheers for browsing 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!

I've got a load of books I want to move on, many mint and many rare. Without counting I guess there's at least 60. Who would be best to contact to move a job lot for their worth. Ill do cheap but not bargain basement prices. Your suggestions please. Books include first edition r and b indies, frank Wilson signed top 100, harmonies, various biographies, reference books a la Robert pruter etc etc mostly hard back. There's also the Simon soussan book. Come on, give us a clue

Think I could be persuaded to let a mint Ron Baxter go for £400 and maybe a similar amount for an original Chip Tyler too Steve

Oh I know the one. I've seen it too. The writing on the side says "Diesel Fuel Only" Steve

Simon, thank you for the info and I appreciate everything that you have said. However, I'm not collecting anymore and am therefore unaware of what's being booted. We grew up in a great age and we have both had some great tunes, I guess you still have your collection and maintain an interest in what goes on. I however have sold the bulk of mine and, I guess, live for the memories of what I had with not too much interest in what's happening today. Sorry if I sounded blunt but I don't keep up to date with everything. Yes I go on soul source but as a casual viewer rather than an avid collector, which I no longer am. I didn't know mello souls had been booted, had no desire to search YouTube etc Nd therefore was unaware of its existence. I was merely intrigued if it has been booted with the emergence of this copy, how it would affect the final price as we both know, it did in "the old days" Best Steve

Don't know any moles Simon and to be honest having been away from the collecting side of things for quite some time I wouldn't have known it had been booted. It was merely a thought that I chucked into the pan and I didn't even look at the clip presuming it had t been booted. Anyway, don't have to justify myself to the know it all's which is half the reason ..... Well you know.
