Barbara lynn, virtually every record is superb. Rob

I don't know about the reason it was released on Verve, but the one on Ebay yesterday is only the 3rd one I've seen, and the other 2 were in poor condition. I set my snipe at $151 and I was a pathetic 3rd. Anybody got one ? I need it to complete my Verve collection ( and about 10 others). Rob

Hi Just had an e-mail stating that all of their cases are half price until the 9th August. I've just bought 3 x 200 single boxes for £27.50 each. Bargain!! Rob

I have one of the Teac LPP1000 which I bought for almost £400 in May of this year. It has excellent sound and is decent quality. I'm using it to play my records that I am cataloguing. It is not as good as separates though. The lever that lowers the tone arm is a bit feeble and the radio isn't DAB, other than that it is very good. The ones on offer at £248 seem a real bargain, I wish I had waited 6 months. Rob Ps: It is Bluetooth enabled, so you can play tunes off your phone if you want.

I have a mint copy of this (not for sale), It came in a £1 soul pack along with Connie Laverne 'can't live without you. That pack must have been one of the best bargains of all time. Rob

There are 2 Sylves prices in the guide. £30 for the Chess distributed and £40 for the bars design. If you are lucky you can sometimes get them at those prices. Rob

Stock copies do exist. I don't think this is particularly rare and is listed at £20 in Manships guide. Having said that I've been collecting Verve for years and only seen a vg- stock copy. Rob

Yes, I know that, but it was also released on verve no 10609. Thanks Rob

Need these 2 for my collection Andre Williams-Do It- Wingate 021 (stock copy preferred) Porgy & Monarchs- That's my girl - Verve 10609 Must be excellent or better. Many thanks Rob

Can anybody confirm that this Is WDJ only (according to Discogs). I could swear I saw a stock copy for sale last year but didn't buy as it was only VG-. Thanks Rob

I see that this goes for about £200 now. Does anyone know why?. I know it has been sampled a few times. Anyone got one for Manships guide of £20 !!! Rob

Mine is No 338 same as in post number 52. Looks like there are already more than 500 in existence!!! Rob

Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I've just finished reading 'Always magic in the air' by Ken Emerson a book about New Yorks Brill building writers from the 60's. Although not strictly about Soul there are hundreds of references to our heroes. A highly recommended book and I got my copy for only £2 from Bibleophile. Rob

'Times a wastin' Fuller Bros 'Remember' Whispers 'Sugar pie honey' Promatics All with the same backing track Rob

What do you think of this incredible piece of music written by Donnie Elbert. A truly stunning vocal. Just bought one from Manships for only £10 Rob
