One which arrived Saturday morning - Thelma Jones; not the best nick but it is a corker of a record and not often for sale.

Two purchased on Saturday night at Gloucester - The Charles IV and Bobby Angelle. The post is great, but nothing beats getting home from a night or niter with some great new tunes in your hands. :yes:

...and bought about 30 seconds ago......... :)

$T2eC16VHJGoE9nuQfe2QBRHs6Ss0P!~~60_12.JPG

It's a great track this one, slightly strange one for me, I bought it in the 9ts for a fiver, and it came the day my mother died, in fact I got the news seconds after signing for it, so its for ever tied to that moment, I know thats a tad strong but I still play it, but I don't have many other 45's that take you to a certain moment in any other way, strong stuff I guess...

Well my Supremes Red Demo arrived (and a few others). The Demo is Minty fresh, well chuffed! As it was the first Motown record I ever bought (1970) to get a red demo with the long intro in such good nick is heaven to me!

Just did a couple of Value Villages  (huge supermarket sized second hand shops) and got these two:

 

Mike McDonald - God Knows - RCA :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

Last Fridays Fire - I Cant Help The Way I Feel - LHI - not soul, obviously

 

left behind a load of standard Motown charters on Canadian as they are impossible to shift now

 

Also found 3 Jackie Mittoo albums - well the covers anyway, all the records were the wrong ones.

Guest drewid

think the theread is more about what you have just bought rather than what is your record of the day from your current collection, correct me if i'm wrong. This was done as a thread last year and was interesting to see what peeps were buying at the moment, not a bragging rights thread as Jim says, could be a £1 or £1000 record.

Sure am mate I used to sell issiues of this for £25.00 15 years ago and hard to find good quality on any format its a monster uptempo dancer and so underrated it's going into the pension fund pot, Gotta be worth double what i paid on a bad day.

I first heard it at Stafford in 80's, "Blew me socks of" (Well the heel of my shoe actualy, came off when dancin, no more dancin that nite)

Had no idea it was you who sold it to me please message me when you list more.

I spend ages hunting them for as low a price I can get. Back in the 70t's i barely had enough money to me to the venues, even £8 for a record then was out of my reach (only earned £12 in 1974!)

Know what you mean Jim , I think I was on £12 a week then also , so they cost me a weeks wages , it's all relevant I suppose.

Just bought a couple of nice bits
Eddie Parker - I need a true love - French 'Googa Mooga' with picture sleeve £15.99
Jackie Day - I can't wait - US 'Paula' Demo - £16.99

 

Not bad prices I didn't think, and 2 awesome tracks.

Had a couple things this week, Margie Alexander - It's Worth A Whippin' which I'm overjoyed with, this sort of quality for £4...!!!

 

Keni Lewis - Aint Gonna make it Easy, and what I thought was a steal, Sonny Jones - Stolen Moments... very very nice.

 

Add in an old rave favourite, Kamera - Back in the time / Flying for 7 euro.. Which is simply 'Kick Ass' as they say!!

 

its been a happy week..
