This conversation happens after every one of the auctions mate, Al Wilson like you say is £100 - £125 any day of the week, if people are happy enough to pay double then not much can be said really.

still a monster oldie and obviously people dont want it on Disco Demands

Always seems to do its money on Ebay too

Is it? I never realised that PETE....(You old stomper)...

I think the Wand guy is related, possibly lthe cousin of, Jackie Wilson

The 'Snake' guy is a different person and I believe the brother of Ted Wilson (Sierra)

I might be totally wrong !!

Andy Rix

There's a wand (demo?) on Joe Dunlops list posted yesterday for £200

I'm sure that when Al Wilson played live at Cleethorpes, he had to be tought the Help Me song because he'd never actually heard of it!

Thats true Pete, he came on and sang it at breakneck speed in about a minute or so, made some comment about it wasn't him that recorded it, and payed a blinding set of his own material. One of the best Cleggy soul acts.
