Soulman

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.

Wasn't aware of that....

What if, and this really is a what if, all of a sudden it got booted on a look-a-likey label. Obviously the original on offer would still be a trophy item but with a flood of boots getting played up and down the country by would be dj's, how much would it affect interest/price I wonder. Steve

I'm hoping I don't let Dale down on this but it's me that's selling him the 45 and it's not in the box I thought it was. Asked him to hold fire on payment until I find it. Really hope I don't disappoint. Steve

Just the one up for grabs at the moment as I'm still wading through the rest. Sammy Ambrose "Welcome To Dreamsville" / Platters "Not My Girl" on yellow Kent Anniversary 45 (M-) £100 inc postage to UK address. Payment by cheque, cash, PO or bank transfer. Sorry NO Paypal. Cheers for looking Steve

John at Soul Bowl had quantities of these originally. The first batch he got were pressed off centre so, being the kind generouse person that he was, he gave me a copy. With a plastic adapter and a file I got it to play perfectly. The off centres were the issue BTW... don't know if it affected demo's in the same way as I've only ever had 3 issues. Steve

Got any left Arthur... if not, do you want one? Steve

Maybe that's where I got it from then Chalky. Obviously used to live near Dave and would often pop down once a week to acquire the latest 45's... however, I still simply don't recall buying, ordering, receiving King George at all. Normally I can remember something about the records I've bought over the years but not this. Strange huh Steve

Hi Trev, I know it was covered as that because that's what I wrote on the sleeve when I got it, in fact I must have had it covered too at the time Keb was playing it... however, it just looks suspicious for some strange reason. Can't remember where I got it from or the history behind it. Thanks for all the info from everyone though. Steve

Can't for the life of me remember this but.... was King George "losin You" on Midtown (Yellow) ever booted??? Your knowledge welcomed as always Steve

Will have to find mine and put them up in Sales. Got a mint minus copy and one that's broken in two but still with the cover. Great for framing. The album also contains "Sad, Sad September" which is a stunningly haunting mid tempo gem as fas as I'm concerned. Steve

Got a couple as it was me that first played it. Best Steve

Personally I would have thought the answer was glaringly obvious according to legend...... Frank Wilson "Do I Love You" Steve

Steve, Google "Small hole / 7" / Leeds" and see what comes up

..... and a big thank you to Rick Todd for bringing this album to the attention of the masses at Cleethorpes. Fantastic LP throughout

Clean enough to Dj with or cleaner as a collectors piece? And what label preference as I have one on take 6 I think
