Old Lists

[Funky 4 Corners]

Up until I moved 12 years ago I kept every list I ever got from about 1970 onwards. I dumped them as in volume terms it was like two / three T chests. The UK ones I remeber that I can't see mentioned here are Graham Warr, Birmingham. John Farrell's Gem Records, Worcester. Moondogs, East Ham, Barry Quinnell, Rustington, Sussex, Global, Manchester. Jeff King, Sendlow Gardens, Leicester. Brian 45 Philips, Middleton. Record Corner, Balham. Pete Widdison, Southampton. I'm sure there are dozens more.

Hi Keith i remember getting your lists in the 80's full of detroit stuff at what turned out to be seriously cheap prices, I think i still have one list where you had the complete set of Thelma records and the most expensive was Martha Starr Love is the only solution at 7 quid

Ive got SOUL BOWL list with number 1 on it, but it must be the re-start of the numbering system about 1974/5 15 portland street kingslynn.

Hi Ted, Long time!

Yes, with hindsight they were very cheap, I guess that was because I in-turn got them cheap from Martin Koppel I just didn't realise what was around the corner and how the Detroit thing would explode. I recall the best buy you got from me was in an auction, Barbara McNair, UK mint demo for £40. That was a lot of dough back then, about 1980?

hi Keith it is a long time mate, BMcnair would be nearer 1984 i think, going back to that list the Connie van Dyke on Wheelsville was the most expensive at 25 quid

[Ljblanken]

List 32 - from 1998 - I got a stack of these records off this list in a job lot off Ebay, bought blind, they came from Nashville and included loads of Red Bird demos, 2 marva josie demos, Wheelsvilles and all sorts
