Alan rhodes wigan sound

was out with him last night,allways been a jammy bugger though he bought his copy of joe hicks off soul bowl £5 remember him getting it there must have been some kind of cock up at soul bowl he was expecting the other copy, as for ronnie with his gifts, i`d sold my big collection in the early eighties, and a girl i knew was trying to raise money to go on a kibutz in israel, so i leant her £200 and she left me a fifty box of her records as collateral, she never came back, and i`d dropped out of collecting so i gave them to ronnie, only to realise years later what i`d given him, i`ll tell you two of them PARISIONS-TWINKLE LITTLE STAR-DEMON HOT, PATRICE HOLLAWAY-STOLEN HOURS-CAPITOL DEMO, plus 48 others, he`s funny as fook was talking to him about this last night,and he swiftly changed the subject

oooooooooooooooh yeh can peel an orange in his pockt that lad, NEVER!! sells anythging, remember when he was out of work for about three years really on his arse, as most of us would have sold our records, not ronnie he got by with as joe cocker said A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS TOP GUY!!

he aint daft nev, but he`s had these ten records just sat in a wardrobe for years dosn`t collect, the problem with him is the more people show intrest the more reluctant he is to sell em, cost me about four pints last night

Cheers trev, allways thought this was hard one myself, a lad i know who has a handful of records that he`s kept since the late seventies has one, i was asking him about them last night, he`s got oneand told me to make him an offer of course i tried the old £10 trick but he knows what it is, might be worth throwing some money at it, would be a keeper, nice item, only ever seen pedleys

They keep coming back i used to think the SOUL CLASSIC ESKO AFFAIR-SALT & PEPPER, WAS SUMMER MADNESS

Any of you kind people give me a realistic valuation on JOE HICKS-DON`T IT MAKE YOU FEEL FUNKY BW I GOTTA BE FREE-AGC0002 THANKS IN ADVANCE

Sent you a pm

Didn`t simply red cover taj mahals-whole lotta love as well?

Al gardner yeh i`d say just a tad cheaper than a us one

Warehouse in leeds ian that brings back some memories went to see MARI WILSON there with swish thats a few years ago now

Used to be a place in york called BOOK & RECORD exchange, you took your unwanted in and swapped for either cash or something in the shop, got some nice motown albums out of there

yeh its a french label also eddie parker love you baby on same label

its wierd really, i knew a lad who as the same as yourself was going through his mother in laws records in the attic, and pulled out a shane martin, when he asked her why she had it she said, we were mods as kids and used to go to loads of parties we all took different records but never came away with the ones you went with, liked to have gone to them parties

Not soul, but didn`t somebody on a tip a few years ago find a load of larry lurex acetates in a box? bet he made a mint

RESULT!!!! i have a friend who lives in york, big rockabilly/rock n roll collector, apparently or so he says they don`t differentiate in price between demo`s and issues, in fact he said they`d rather have issues, got a nice frank lyndon demo of him, and a copy of charlie gracie he`ll never love you like i do on stateside, also a similar sort of story to yours pete he took me to a guys house who used to work for the bbc who he got a lot of stuff off he was also a rock n roll nut, but got some nice demo`s off him things like john drevars etc

might well have been pete, this guy looked like a californian hells angel

A couple of years ago i was at a record fair in york, had looked through all the sixties section as you do, then decided to have a look at a guys stuff who looked like one of z z top, going through loads of heavy metal picture discs, and there right in the middle was a copy of THE FOXES I JUST MIGHT FALL IN LOVE-ABC W/D he gave me it put it in a brown paper bag as quick as possible so his tattoo clad friends didn`t see and 50p changed hands, wheres the most peculiar place youve turned up soul music

I did the same thing at the same place, with a copy of sue lynn, bought it for £12 turned round and was talking to one of my mates, when this scotch guy begged me to sell it to him and gave me £25 crisp pounds-RESULT!!!!!!!!!!
