Pete, this reminds me, Max was always going on about a collector he knew up in Scotland who kept a massive & brilliant collection in a leaky garden shed. Max kept trying to get him to either store them somehwere safe and more importantly, dry, or sell them. Wonder if this is the result ?

 

I think I know who that is John.  His name's Sid, he used to work for Selectavision in Wombourne, him and the owner of the shop, Graham, were Cats regulars (I didn't know this, but the shop was always full of soul records, I should have guessed really) and I remember in 76/77, asking Sid if he could get certain records and a day later he'd get them for me, remember him getting me an MGM issue of April Stevens distinctly, anyway when the shop closed down in 1980 I lost touch with the guys, I asked Max once if he knew whatever happened to them and he said he saw Graham more or less every week, but Sid moved to Scotland and sort of disappeared.

Sold a Sam Williams demo for £100 , Edward Hamilton demo for £65 ........ and would not class Betty Boo as a ' pressing ' as its the only original format along with Grapevine album for collecting the previously unreleased track.

I bought the Edward Hamilton.... A mans gotta do etc. I would have paid £30 plus for dena Barnes on GV. My collection is awaiting this and Sam Williams if anyone is selling ?

It's the Twerp from AnTwerp Pete

 

He doesn't sell much, a couple a week. BTW we just had a documentary on our TV about history of Popcorn & Mixing DJs (Keb Darge on it) - confirmed that myth about millions of 45s coming over from the US to Antwerp...............

There's a gaggle of those US Ebay sellers, think they're "Funkyou" "Funkyousounds" "Burl*one" and "Son Paul" well, something like that anyway. They seem to get crazy high prices for records that are mostly highly shagged out, how the feck do they do that ? :huh:
