Here's some Record & Tape Exchange bargains I've had over the years: BOBBY SHEEN: Dr Love (UK Capitol demo) £9 CAJUN HART: Got To Find A Way (UK Warner Bros demo) £15 MARK LOYD: When I'm Gonna Find Her (UK Parlophone) £22 WILSON PICKETT: Let Me Be Your Boy (UK MGM demo) £37 THE N GROUP: Keep On Running (Wes Mar) £5 PLATTERS: Washed Ashore (UK Stateside G/W demo) £3 KIKI DEE: Why Don't I Run Away From You (UK Fontana) £3 MARVELETTES: I'll Keep Holding On (UK Tamla Motown demo) £30 LYNNE RANDELL: Stranger In My Arms (Aussie CBS) £15 (still got this one!!) All this within a period of 20 years!!! There were loads more bargains (and still continue to be), but not all of them were soul. Gene

I rest my case! Gene

(changing the subject)!!!!!

I wondered who bought it after I tried to hide it from Mrs R!!! Did the catheter fit OK Tony?

Oh well, same sentiment - different expression:

Oops sorry - my naughty one-track mind leading me astray again!

Can you confirm and let me know whether it was Tony's or Dana's - please please??!! :-)

Tony, you're right - if I remember, we needed something to clear the punters out at 11pm (not to mention get rid of the mouse infestation)!!! But I remember you playing "Time's A Wastin'" by Buddy Greco on UK Columbia!!!! Hope I win the bidding!! Only bid on it 'cos the guitars remind me of a porn movie I saw 20 years ago (thanks again Tony!!). Gene

Laugh? I almost wet my wife's tights (oh dear, another secret out!!). Gene

Have to agree - certainly with the likes of Mark Loyd, Steve Aldo or Tony Colton etc.....not like "Nobody But Me" by the Human Beanz Meanz Fartz!!! Gene

Actually, doesn't the Wigan Oldies All-Niter "Listen To Those Memories" patch show a gramophone? Talk about predicting the shape of things to come!! Or was it talk about Wigan '78 being mistaken for Wigan 78s!!! Gene

Like I always say, who put the **** in Country and Western???? Just think; this could mean a total rebrand all round to Ye Olde Soule Source, with such topics as "Playing Wax Cylinders at a Venue?". I'd rather wait for the next compilation from Oldmine!! Gene

As long as it has matching stereo horns!!! Not so good for the rare vinyl tho!! Gene

Many thanks Mick - I knew you'd be here to help me out!!! Gene

Does anyone know what a UK issue of "Picture Me Gone" by Evie Sands currently goes for? I've just bought a Mint issue for £55 - a bargain, methinks? I'm sure this has gone up in price over the years, as I recall seeing US copies for double figures recently!! Any help greatly appreciated, as always.............. Gene

Hi Jodie, No, the Frances Burnett is a Berry Gordy Jr and Gwen Gordy comp, and is called "How I Miss You So". Near enough though!! This version of "Miss You So" was covered by people like Ted Taylor etc. There's a thread a few weeks back called Pre-1964 Soul, where Mike gives a small insight into it - here's the link: https://www.telasource.co.uk/soul/modules/i...&showtopic=1077 Gene

Yes, it's true - as highlighted by Mike in an earlier post. OK, I'll be generous with you.........good old fashioned R&B!! But it was played..........

Don't Pity Me by Joanie Sommers: "These tears you see baby are not for me, I'm crying because I know I must have hurt him so"

Good point Ian - though I think a Mint one goes for near enough £1,000, so I guess someone who wants one, but probably can't afford to spend that, or (like me) doesn't want to (!!) sees it as an alternative. I tap this in with 5 mins to go before the auciton closes, and it's now at about $309!!! Gene

Hi Karen!!! Hope you're well. Good to hear from you. Drop us a line at some point if you can, or leave us a PM here. Keep in touch........ Take care, Gene xx

Ahh!! But were the chip suppers still on ration Tone? Gene

This must be the third or fourth copy of "Sweet Memories" by Robert Tanner to turn up on Ebay in as many weeks: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MEBWA:IT They've all been in some sort of used condition. As rare as thought?? Gene

What about "Fear Not" by the Legends? Can never tell if it's supposed to be an uptempo dancer or a soul ballad! Interesting one....... Gene

I've just sent you a PM Ian!! Gene

Ian, I wonder if it was mine you were outbid on? I stuck my UK copy on Ebay three weeks ago (which was only VG), and it eventually went for £117!! I'll get me anorak........ Gene
