Simsy Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 No shortage of lady dj's. But how many full on dealers are there? By 'full on' I mean lists etc, not just trades and sales boxes. Only one's I know of are kind of man and wife teams. So are there any? And if not, why not?

What could she mean? Derek
Simsy Posted January 17, 2006 Author Posted January 17, 2006 Don't know of any. Consulted my missus about it she reckons it's because "Women have a life!!" What could she mean? Derek Dunno about that Derek. If that were the case then there wouldn't be any women dj's would there?

Simsy Posted January 17, 2006 Author Posted January 17, 2006 Plenty on ebay from the States have bought from quite a few Lenny Yeah, any good? Asked a qustion of some bird from North Carolina (or sim) who had a Bing Crosby number as 'Mega Northern Soul' - - "Who told you this was mega northern soul"? She replied back "yo mumma"! Cheeky mare. So no UK lasses with lists then? Poor show.
Mace Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Maye Luquet from New Orleans used to trade on ebay, but not noticed any items from her of late. She bought a load of stuff from a warehouse at one point and was listing 'em in quanities of 100 or so at a time on ebay. Bought loads of her a few years back...anyone dealt with her lately? 1
Dave Abbott Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 not lately Mace, though have done in the past.... she cant have run out...
mischief Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Maybe they have more sense than buying loads of vinyl that can just sit there till some one wants that perticular record...especialy when they could be buying lip gloss, shoes and bags...
Simsy Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 Well all I can think is UK soul gals are getting their beauty sleep. Andy reckons they need it (He said that, not me) Think they have some answering to do ... 1
Simsy Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 This just in ... We go live to Snowland UK; Well jodie just started up and kym fuller used to be a dealer I think? thing is for men its a progression from top trumps so cant blame women for not getting into it, and we prefer not to be stuck in one place all night either LOL
Guest Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Women shouldnt be collecting, djing or dealing! they should have their little feet in the kitchen cooking then cleaning and having babies. They should be seen and not heard and best of all they should be in servitude to their men. OUCH the boss has just slapped me!

Guest Dan Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I used to buy records off a girl in Leicester. Trouble was, she wouldn't sell any of the really shiny ones, or the ones with pink labels.
Simsy Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 Nancy Yohiro. UK based? For a while email lists used to show up here from Lynne Brady. But again hubby & wife ...
Wally Francis Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Kim Fuller,Think she's still in London.
Sanquine Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Maybe they have more sense than buying loads of vinyl that can just sit there till some one wants that perticular record...especialy when they could be buying lip gloss, shoes and bags... Buying Lip gloss, shoe's and bag's... Your mixing with the wrong type of women!! I'd rather have vinyl anyday. Seriously, I collected but never wanted to Dj, as prefer to dance, but would definately loved to be a record dealer. The reason I've not been able to, is you would have to commit 100% of your time and having had a family, job and home to run, this wasn't possible. Now I have time and could commit, not enough knowledge, experience, nor capital to buy the record's to start off. If I could go back to 1980, I can remember a moment when that would all have been possible. Andy, what's this all about us UK girl's needing our beauty sleep!!. :angry: Karen
Guest Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Kim Fuller,Think she's still in London. She is back in the states, been back for several months now

Mace Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 not lately Mace, though have done in the past.... she cant have run out... She must have run out of Eskew Reeder - Undivided Love........I had at least 14 copies off her She once sent me a box of 30 New Orleans Soul & R&B 45s for free, asking only for an indication of genre of music so she could describe them more accurately on ebay (yeah, yeah I know, why did she ask me then.... ) Maye even let me have records sent to her to forward on from U.S. sellers who would not ship out of U.S. Great gal...have to check ebay see if she's still selling....

Guest rachel Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Can't think of any apart from those already mentioned Don't think I could do it as I'd want to keep everything I bought
Winsford Soul Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Erm not really. Think I know who you mean. Used to be at the Ritz . Size 10 boots, Dress, Wig, Smoked fags like a bloke. Dead Funny to see but no one batted a eyelid. Took a shine to Keith Brady Steve

lisahurley Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Nancy Yahiro comes from Orange County and now lives in Florence, she's been dealing full time for yonks now
Chalky Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 AvidVinyl on Gemm is a girl called Diane I think or ?? Yep, I've bought from her and very good, have own website as well.
Martint Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 not lately Mace, though have done in the past.... she cant have run out... I saw her STILL selling mint Eskew Reeders only a few weeks back I'm sure, she must have made about ten million pounds from the thousands if not trillions of mint copies she had/has.
Guest vinylvixen Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Dunno about that Derek. If that were the case then there wouldn't be any women dj's would there? what if it was your life???? I used to do a list but, in the end, other commitments took over - like deejaying I take my hat off to any dealers of vinyl. It's hard work finding the tunes, typing up the list, sorting out the payments, dealing with time wasters, non-payment, the Post Office and doing it week/ month after month.....too much like hard work Jo

Just caught the very end of Big Daddy Bicknell`s Show on Solar Radio last night -was it your dulcet tones I could hear over the airwaves also?

I think there should be more women dealers. So it's fair to say then on balance of this thread, that the number of (uk based) female dealers you can count on the fingers of one finger.
Mikevague Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Nancy Yahiro comes from Orange County and now lives in Florence, she's been dealing full time for yonks now Gee, ask ANY male record dealer from the Los Angeles area who has known her, and they will tell you she has protested countless times for many years "I'm not a dealer; I want all all 20 copies (of whatever rarity was underpriced that day) to give away as door prizes to mods to come to my dance venues!" HA HA HA
Pk 22dj Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) What about Bob who had a stall at the old Blackburn allnighters, he turned up in fancy dress on night as a bird and called himself Robina from then on. Dose he I mean she err whatever . :-) Edited September 10, 2012 by pk 22dj

Robbk Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 My old friend Candy Kay, trading as Motorcity records and Charlotte Tucson both from Detroit......None that I can think of in the UK........ Chris Yes, Both of those women had some crackin' good rare Detroit records back in the '70s. I even bought some off them!

Tricky Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Somebody once said. Women and vinyl do not mix. All the records are warped because their boxes are too close to the cooker! Anon
Gene-r Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Nancy Yahiro comes from Orange County and now lives in Florence, she's been dealing full time for yonks now Wondered what she's doing now. Lovely person to chat to as well. I'd reserved some records from her email list about 12 years ago, but was struck down by chicken pox a week later, and couldn't get out of the house because I was paranoid about my pizza face. So I phoned her to apologise for the delay in sending the money. 45 minutes later, and we're still chatting! One expensive apology that was! From what I can remember, it was Nancy who introduced me to Jo Wallace (aka Vinyl Vixen), who was in the early years of running These Old Shoes at the time. That was the start of my return to the soul scene after a 5-year hiatus. You can just imagine the headlines now; "Herpes: the cause of my return to the soul scene"!

Gene, Nancy married an Italian chap and moved over to live there, she still puts lists out. I used to get some fantastic stuff from Nancy.
