Popular Post Tony Foster Posted October 21, 2011 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2011 What about Dave Rimmer - outstanding point of reference with his website - https://www.soulfulkindamusic.net/ Also he must have travelled thousands of miles to DJ and promote the Northern scene, a great guy all round, definitely gets my vote. 4 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Tony Foster Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Deffo agree with you there Winnie , like you me and many others , some of the information on here is invaluable to us all , keep up the good work Mike. Totally agree, I sometimes think that people sometimes don't fully appreciate what a great utility this is. Whether they are selling 45's, looking for wants, looking for somewhere to go, or just keeping up with what's going on. I know I certainly have made use of this site over the years and appreciate the hard work that goes into keeping it running and up to date, so here's to you Mike 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

45cellar Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 John Anderson - Regards, Dave Definitely John Anderson. The amount of records found and brought over by John that could have otherwise been lost to landfill etc. Made available at the right time in quantity to help satisfy the demand amongst DJ s & collectors. He provided a source for collectors like me to have a realistic chance of owning these records. As back in those days before the Internet the chance of owning such was quite limited. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
