Nabay is white Lebanese / American background.

Naval is white Lebanese

Please don't leave out Ambassadors (Pee Vee group) and Velvet Satins and Nabay. All white and all awesome Northern!

Paula Durante is definitely white, and of American Italian extraction; I met her and her Producer / Manager Tommy Calandra many years ago. On the 2 8 x 10 black and white 60's photos I have of her she looks like Helen Shapiro etc, complete with Beehive etc. There is in fact quite a funny story re her ethnicity.We agreed to meet on the car park of some Burger King or similar. A while later a car matching the description of hers appeared but kept driving around and around. As it turned out later, she was apparently looking for and expecting a white Englishman and I was expecting a black American woman.lol. A Lovely lady and a good friend of Holly Maxwell.

Sensible Offers invited for John Bowie mint minus WD. Label and vinyl are beautiful condition.

Exits: Another sundown in Watts: Kapp WD. Unlike most copies of this record, this is in beautiful condition; mint minus, and it's thick vinyl not a styrene copy, which again is unusual. There is small writing in bottom half right quadrant of the label which looks like some kind of catalogue number, but it doesn't really detract from the label look. I've got a photo of the label if anyone needs to see it. £700.

Only just seen this thread. For the doubters.... I can confirm the following: 1. The acetates are absolutely 100% original! 2. I know this coz they came from legendary producer Sammy Lowe via me. 3. I tracked him down and met Sammy about 25 years ago in New Jersey, and bought a whole bunch of great things off him, including these and other things. 4. The acetates and some of the records were in an old vinyl rack with no sleeves on them, in Sammys basement music room. 5. A brilliant guy who by the way was a neighbour of the legendary Mike Terry. Sammy introduced me to him and that's how I got to meet and interview Mike; I'd been looking for him for years like everyone else... but in the wrong place (Detroit!). 6. My girlfriend at the time Jacqui Kavanagh and I had a couple of great nights out with Sammy, his younger son Sammy junior, and Laura Greene. sorry to disappoint the doubters but thanks to those who supported the provenance of the acetates. All are legit and some were different versions of those songs. Tim A

I popped in to a 2nd hand shop whilst on holiday in Paphos in Cyprus and spied a whole bunch of 45s on an old bookcase. The records had apparently come from some ex dj, but I got loads of UK Motown, stax, northern low level originals for next to nothing; about 30 records. As for USA; too many to mention, but the ones which come to mind are..... Many years ago I stayed for a few days with the legendary record hound John Hilliard in LA. Day after day he took me out to different places he knew had records. One day he took me to a launderette which had boxes of 45's, including quantity of Del Val and Kris 45s in boxes on top of the washing machines. But the best was the day he took me to a 2nd hand furniture shop in LA. The only record in there was lying alone and forgotten on the seat of an old chair..... The Oracles I ain't got time on OM!! Well pleased! Butch and I, on a trip to Chicago spent time in Old Bill Wells record shop. He was related to those who ran the M PAC records set up. He had boxes of records on the floor and his little white dog used to go around pissing on them all....nice! Anyway one day we ventured further behind the scenes to find records untainted by his dogs scent and found 2 copies of the Ultimations when it was still a relatively hard and sought after Stafford record, and an Alice Clark....in his dried up SINK!!!! Those were the days!!!

Sensible offers for: Beautiful mint minus condition..... Silky Hargreaves. Keep loving me like you do Rare Blue Original issue, not the dodgy demo or the recent blue boot. This is the real styrene original issue, and in this condition very rare so realistic offers only please. Oh and did I mention the even more gorgeous Dearborn sleeve (rarer than the record! Lol)
