Sooty Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Hi folks!x Been too busy for boot sales the last few months but managed to get to one in Louth today!

He then said if I wanted them.....about 20 of the ilk....he'd take £5 for the lot! Job done....and he added the 10 or so in the little pile next to the box as they were all the same....I hadn't got round to them! Well....just got home.....and among the Charlie Drake and Bernard Cribbins demos....Goon classics and a couple of Mary Poppins songs on studio copy's.....I found this......never heard it....and yup......happy with my first Boot Sale for aaaages.....meant to be....I reckon!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X https://youtu.be/Fr2i4R19TTU My real happy tune...or piece of vinyl among it all is this on the copy u see here!!

Paul R Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Many years ago I got a mint April Stevens MGM demo for £3, and a mint Tiffanies UK Chess Demo for 35p. At a stall in an indoor market I got a VG Patrice Holloway Love & desire UK Capitol issue for 25p. At another car boot I get there about 9 o'clock & found a stall with a box full of Mint Oriole singles. Must have been 60 odd records. But not one Motown one. The only thing I got was Hugo Montenegro Sherry(well it was big ish once!!!). Paul 2
Sooty Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Morning all!x Just returned last night from meandering around the Med for a well earned 'breakaway'...which meant from music too!x No personal phone...IT of any kind or 'news' of World or local affairs......I needed to get away....and have done successfully...or to my satisfaction! BUT...my life was taken over by 1 track.....throughout this escapism attempt!!!!!! It has also impacted several serious music involved folk and artistes.......simple as this..... We needed air tanks filled/bait replenished etc etc and so pulled in to 'civilisation' as you do. I was focused and wary of any outside influences......but it was my Grandsons 2nd birthday and so had him on my mind back in Blighty and therefore wandered into the below shop nearby to the Scuba place in Fornells...Menorca....to buy him a T-shirt and bits! Worst mistake of my whole 'holiday'...!!! .......there was an instant whistling in my ears as I walked in that I recognised......wtf.....???!!! I knew that ditty....and began singing along with the tune word for word as it kicked off......but was totally non-plussed and confused as to wot the hell it wos and why....why me now....here???!!!x I went to the counter and asked a very distinguished looking 'Senorita' .....'Ola.....wot is the music playing???!! She looked equally puzzled and reached for a CD case next to the till.....and explained it was left in an apartment her daughter rented out last year and she knew nothing except she liked the songs and had played it throughout this Summer to thousands of customers browsing! Her daughter thought it was more her age group music!! The CD from memory was greyish....'Simply Soul' on the front I think and I remember seeing the classic Betty Everett track 'Getting Mighty Crowded' on there and indeed knew al the tunes featured....including this....as should you all....!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRrD1boujT0 I was done in for the rest of my 'time out' around the Med whistling the tune in my head and then announcing loudly to all around or in solitude when fishing....'I WAAAANNNAA KNNNNOOOOOOWWWW....' randomly and still have done this morning before writing this....ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Impact label???...they ain't wrong!x @@ ~ I have a confession....and it has come back to bite me big time! I had the tune throughout the 90's and never played it once.......SOOOOORRRYYYY!!!!x I bottled it every time....or....it was in my section of roughly 10/15 that I would take each DJ spot that had the privilege of being in the running for the 1 or 2 spots reserved for MY choices as such during my spot....beyond the 'norm'! It sadly never made it to that top 2! It did me head in back then....and certainly has had the same impact 15-20 years later!! I have done what I can for the tune this time round! It is the only tune I mentioned to anyone music connected mogul whom I met around the Med...and I met a few along with their artistes many being current US and UK chart pi** toppers and so called 'DJ's who worked the drugs on Ibiza/Majorca and other fine cough 'party' resorts during this Summer! I told them to 'check it out' and announced immediately afterwards....END CONVERSATION re music!x They....is clueless anyway....u lot ain't so I thought i'd share it with you....an annoyance really when it comes down to it....but....not complaining....had my 'new girl' wiv me.....!!x Wore the shirt to the end of Summer Party for the Med organised by Barney Branson each year and felt it represented my personal interests directly....job done and enuff sed...I reckon!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY X I have collected some super bits and bobs re wildlife and birds/fish....and yup archaeology etc during my 'sabbatical' which I will sort and put a paragraph or 3 up about in the Birds & Wildlife thread sometime this week!x Back 'on it' now and so no time to 'play' on the net or owt....off to Scotland on business till Friday and then Cornwall at the weekend so it may be early next week.....I have my priorities right again! Holiday over.....sigh. ......whissstle whistleee ..."IIIII WANNNAA KNOOOOWWWW.............sort of!x ....I would like to think the daughter will be 'raving' to the tune in some form next year at Ibiza.........thanx to her Mam....and a confused and irate 'Grandad/Pops' of Great Britain!!!!!hehe!!!!x @@ ~ Edited September 16, 2014 by SOOTY

Guest Harvestman Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Unfortunately there seems to be a dearth of records in general around flea markets and yard sales around here. I have had a bit of luck at antique shops, however... Back in 2009 or 2010, I was inspecting the record stock of a rather small resale shop/small antique mall a few miles from my home. One particular booth had some records, I dug in to see what was in the LPs...nothing of interest, corny '70s pop and faith-based records for the most part. Then it was on to the 45s - lots of late '70s and '80s drivel, nothing worth noting...but there was one particular record that didn't fit in with the rest. It wasn't terribly expensive, so I took a chance on it. Upon browsing Popsike, I found out some information about the record - turns out I had gotten a copy of Syng McGowan's "Just In The Nick Of Time" on Hope for 25 cents...in VG++ condition no less. I still have the sleeve somewhere with "McGowan - 25c" written on it. A bit cheaper and more beat-up, but I happened to find a DJ copy of Margaret Williams' "Ten Commandments of Soul" on Sue (US) for 75 cents at a separate antique mall. The visit before that, it was a promo copy of Timmy Willis' "Gotta Get Back To Georgia" on Veep - company sleeve included and in beautiful condition - for a dollar. Love those little honey-holes. (Technically this shouldn't be included, as I believe it was digging through 45s at a record store and not an antique/thrift shop, but I did find a promo copy of Jamie (Duffy) Power's "Love's Gonna Go" for a measly $1.00. Fairly certain that's been my best soul get yet.)
Sooty Posted September 28, 2014 Author Posted September 28, 2014 Got to a Boot Sale this morning for an hour and found 2 tunes one on British Mercury and t'other the US copy of a 70's Northern track!!x I have featured Brook before in this thread and explained I have 2 copy's 1 UK and a USA but the take I really like I heard on a cheap CD....but never heard it yet on vinyl.....probably don't exist!x I have read there are 4 'takes' of this on vinyl from 1959 to 1960! The US is different to the UK! Possibly a '78 of it?! Dunno what it is about the tune that 'got me'....just a nice ditty which is nice floating across gardens on a Sunday afternoon when I can get an hour or two spinning me stuff to the neighbours!x Seller was asking £7.....got it for £3 as it was a shiny mint copy and my UK is 'hissy' now at the beginning so upgraded!x https://youtu.be/1sWABf7gXR4 This Idris Muhammed tune I found among a 70's Funk collection of regular 'classics'! I had never heard the tune until hearing it here on Soul Source some months back. Nice shuffler i'd imagine but won't get spun by me but thought i;d rescue it for a Soulie somewhere!x I know he passed away recently again thanx to Soul Source folk and your posts and thought i'd pay my respects to him and his music and spin it here for your delight!x The label scan is the tune I have and I will put it up for sale....dunno how much they are?!x Willing to be guided...mint- not a mark on the vinyl!x I've scanned the flip side by mistake but the part 1 side is the same condition!x RIP Idris...X https://youtu.be/jLLBo0fWu3Q LUV SOOTY X
