Cheers for that boba, good reply

Think your probably right here dave, look at some of the south american stuff thats been thrown up over the fast couple of years

Good point bearsy, then theres the "HARD NUMBER" thing on a major label, ie jackey beavers on revilot

OOOps very sorry chalky, thought you were on about the other little johnny hamilton, & many thanks for the info on the swans, i honestly didn`t know it reached release

Little Johnny Hamilton - Dore See i suppose it depends chalky, i know of two copies in york alone, granted it is one of those you never see listed nowadays, just a question was the swans actually released on dore?

Over the past 30dd years now ive been recieving lists, going to soul events and 99% of my time at these events are either spent talking records or looking through record boxes. Over the years ive been told on many occasions that there are no rare records left in the states, obviously this means in quantity?. Every week i`m reading lists with the same stuff on thats been on the lists for all these years, even today i notice another copy of the MOMENTS going through e-bay, how many is that in 6months for sale? and these are meant to be rare records. When i think back over the past twelve months the list goes on. LESTER TIPTONS, EDDIE PARKERS, AL WILLIAMS, GENE TOONES, JACKIE DAYS etc etc. It also seems to me that condition is no object nowadays to the buyer. So in your opinion what are the rare records or indeed are there any that don`t turn up? apart from the obvious of course.

Good point, my friend

Three letters

probably rick, the princelly sum of 50p was paid at the time lol

I certainly will jack

Is it ohn mercer from darlington you mean? if so i was with john at sixhills allnighter in november, see him quite often up here out & about

Hi rick n everybody, was this the cafe at the front between the doors? we used to go in before the nighter opened, the first record i ever bought was in there, it was off a lad with the arctic penguins all over his bag, and his record sleeves anybody remember him. Anyway the record was Gwen owens-you better watch out-Casablanca. PS Still got the cardboard sleeve at me mums

Very sad news indeed one of the greats R.I.P Willie Mitchell

Thanks very much folks for all your replies, got some ideas now. so will close the thread. many many thanks-HARRY

TAKES ME BACK SOME ANDY

WHIPPETS N FERRETS

Keep em comin folks, just had this one FOOT TAPPERS & STOMPERS SC

Nice one

Hi all maybe taking my life in my hands here but am looking for a catchy name for a soul club, any ideas, this should be fun. Its in the city of york and across the board music policy, [sixties, modern, oldies & underplayed}

just had a listen russ & yep can see what you mean

To be quite honest, ive only ever heard the GAR issue, so i really don`t know, is the goldspot version different?

I was sat watching the end of a film, when i heard di SCREAM with laughter, shouting "HAVE YOU READ THIS" Great great achievment fellow soulsourcers, now this is more like the scene i know and love. As for you mr smith, watch for the new years honours list

Superb does sound fast but then the bluies were good

What a lovely gesture pete, only met john a couple of times, was at the sixhills allnighter, me di n johnny were just generally chatting about records, di was telling him how she was looking for a copy of CAVALIERS-I REALLY LOVE YOU, and guess what wednesday the next week a nice mint black issue plopped through our door & he point blankley refuses to take any payment saying its a donation to di`s djing career, this really touched us both we will be donating pete keep it going mate and well done-HARRY & DIANE AND A VERY MERRY XMAS TO YOU AND YOURS PETE

Too true chalky, the late ALAN POLLARD [R.I.P] sent me a few cd`s of unreleased stuff, some fantastic stuff on them, makes you wonder some of the released stuff was a lot worse than unreleased sometimes HAPPY XMAS CHALKY
