Pete - was it you who recalled "Sherry" by Hugo Montenegro played at half-time during a match? Someone told me they had a long time ago - suspect it may have been you mate!

I Love Ebay
Oops........cheers Baz - just realised my error!! Another thought - So was Eddie Singleton regularly in the habit of using Goldmine/Soul Supply to distribute Shrine records in 1966?

I Love Ebay
Yes, but when you look at his feedback, you'll see that some items are still private (even after the auction's closed), and some can still be viewed.

I Love Ebay
Why is it that only CERTAIN items on his auction are private? Beats me to think that he's received bids of $102 for it as well!!!

Scala Kings Cross Mid 80s
I thought it was a "Sensible Soul Club" project, run by Craig Brick, Paul Guntrip, Sean McClusky etc. DJs were people like Ion (I think), Stuart Cosgrove, maybe even Dave Thorley and Ian Clark. A couple of nites, from what I can remember, took place here in 1985 (from when the above flyers date back to). Around March that year, I can remember the Scala nites (complete with playlists) being given full-page coverage in Echoes. Gene

The Jb's "food For Thought" Lp On Us People
Thanks for the help so far Rich, and to anyone else! It may help if I describe the copy I have. There is no evidence of a "photocopy" look, even though the back cover is black and white. The cover appears to be pretty tough cardboard, typical of US LPs from that time, though the inside of the cover is white as opposed to cardboard grey. The label just gives details of tracks - no producer or composer credits etc.... Any help greatly appreciated!!

The Jb's "food For Thought" Lp On Us People
Cheers Rich - do you happen to know if they're exact lookalikes? And if so, is there a way of telling the difference?
-
The Jb's "food For Thought" Lp On Us People
Anyone know if the "Food For Thought" LP by the JB's on People (US issue from 1972) was ever reissued or booted as a lookalike?

How Rare ?
Wish I could say the same thing, but I've never been one for Rock music......... Seriously though, I have never seen it on Inner Ear before - only ever heard of it. Would imagine it to be rockin' horse rare, despite my dislike of the track.

Anyone know who TERECORDS was? Their rubber stamp crops up a fair bit on soul records.

Celebrities Who Are Or Have Been Into Northern Soul
Wasn't Kathy Burke a modette in the early '80s, or a soulie?
-
1,2,3,original ?
Ken, The copy you have here (MU 1067) is a UK reissue from 1968, intended for sale within the UK. At the same time, MCA brought out a few other reissues, namely "Rock Around The Clock/Shake Rattle & Roll" by Bill Haley (which was the first of 2 reissues of the same track to chart here), and "Rave On/Peggy Sue" by Buddy Holly. As for a value on the Len Barry reissue, I would safely say around £3 at the most. Therefore, these are all retro reissues, in much the same vein as the "Demand Performance" series released by Decca, Deram and London around the same time. Gene

Help With Price
Not really Stuart - you'd even be hard pushed to sell the "What'd I Say" EP on London for more than £6. Probably due to the fact that most of his EPs contain MOR tracks.
-
Most Overpriced Record
Yes - seriously overpriced at £500!
-
Help With Price
About £10 for a Mint EP with pic sleeve. For some strange reason, none of Ray Charles' EPs have a high value attached to them - not that we should complain!

I say it's Liam's fault - he should never had married Patsy Kensit in the first place!
