Devasted by the news. We spent so many nights together travelling from one end of the country to the other to attend nighters, back in the late 70's and 80's. Certainly led a colourful life and to the full, but his heart was full of soul even to the day he passed away from us. A true soulie and one we will miss. RIP Dean from the 3 JC's. Mark

Awful shock, a true gentleman, fellow collector and top soulman. Known him for many years since he first starting dj-ing for us all that many years ago at East Kirkby Miners Welfare. Sad loss! Our condolences to Judi and the family. Mark

How about this one - the original road sign from outside Wigan - "Station Road" ! In fact, it was only last weekend when we were talking and laughing about how this was acquired and carried off on top of a bag wrapped in a pair of jeans! Co-incidence or what!

any idea on the price for the 45? I did hear that 'Feel it' came out on a 45 but dont know whether that is fact or rumour. Thanks mark

Seem to remember that Stirling used to play this at Wigan in the early 80's, can anyone remember the cover up name? Is it rare? Any idea on value? Thanks Mark

Just recently picked their LP for that fantastic 'Feel it' track, got me thinking about the Better Days 45 I picked up a few years ago. I have seen the 12" fetch good money but seen nothing about the 45, is there any difference between the tracks, is one rarer than the other? Thanks Mark

First time i have heard this, an aboslutely storming track, I have had the 'Better days' 45 for many years but this knocks the spots off it. I'll be looking. mark

All excited today to find out the latest addition to my collection had arrived. Got home to find a bent package, damaged in the post. Opened up the box dreading to find the worse and found my Coco & Ben on earthworld, in 3 pieces. Absolutely gutted! mark

Hi Kev, Yes Tats is on in the backroom next Bentinck, looks like being a great night. Will be great to see you. Like I said earlier, Arthur Willis has been in my top wants for a while, so a great find from my perspective. Mark

Hi Ted, No address on the label, I agree has a reggae feel to it. This copy actually came from georgia but that is no indication.I have not heard of the label before but i am sure someone will enlighten us. Mark

Hi Mark, The rumours are out already, I managed to pick up a copy from a friend in the States a couple of weeks ago. I tune I rate very highly, but was not sure how rare this really is, hence the question. Thanks for the information everyone, a tune that will be treasured in my collection. A first time for the bentinck backroom next month. Mark

Please enlighten me, how many known copies of Arthur Willis? Thanks Mark

Thanks for the advice Chris. i have tried the usual trawl over the net but not a great deal, will keep trying though. Like you say they are out there somewhere but not in the quantities they used to be. Cheers Mark

Hi Kev, Unfortunatley, flying back overnight on Friday and will miss my first Bentinck - shame because again I have picked up some nice new tunes to spin, but they will have to wait until next month. Have a good one, if not in body i will be there is spirit! mark

Hi, later this week I am on a 3 day business trip to Syracuse, NY and might find a little time to hunt some vinyl. Can anyone point me in the direction of any good places in the town? Thanks Mark

hi, was a regular at Oddfellows but use to keep a low profile downstairs in the moderm room, what a great all-nighter. Mansfield crew. mark

Its the Shametts on the Golddust label, I think a better version. Mark

Just for information, I picked up a Yellow label copy on Ebay about 6 months ago in the Latin section in mint condition. Worth looking around the odd one does surface. Mark

Yes no problem, just in the Middle East at the moment, will sort out this weekend when I get back. Too hot for vinyl over here! Mark

A few years I spent almost 6 months travelling South America, and when ever I had the chance I looked for vinyl. Picked up quite a bit on Brazilian, Argentinean and Uruguay lables, such as Nolan Porter - If I could only be sure Samantha Jones - ray of sunshine fantastic Puzzels - Come back baby Garnet Mimms Larry Santos - Casablanca nancy Wilson Lou Rawls Lots of Motown on the local country lables. Travellind overseas again at the moment will scan some lables in when I return. Mark mark
