Winsford Soul Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 You could have posted pictures of some classic Northern records Steve 1
Frankie Crocker Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 The seldom seen Gwen Owens UK white demo? Does your mate usually keep his records propped up against the skirting board? Actually, this mind-blowing selection of ultra-rarities is pretty near unbeatable - any chance your mate could do a write-up on them? 1
Popular Post Jumpinjoan Posted January 9, 2016 Popular Post Posted January 9, 2016 I'm shocked no one's said they've got the same carpet 9

Zoomsoulblue Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Same carpet - can't move round the house without tripping up on records leaning against the skirting board - bloody nightmare 1

He is serving a 30-year sentence without chance of parole. Gresham was convicted for his involvement with a group of Marielitos that were sponsored out into his neighborhood in 1980 by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), following the Mariel Boat Lift. They were convicted of conspiracy to traffic cocaine. He was given the 30-year sentence in the same courthouse where, at the age of 18, he took the Navy oath. Jimmy Gresham was a first time and a non violent offender UPDATE ~ I'm delighted to say that Jimmy was released from jail on 21 Feb 2012 after many years inside. For the terrible story on why he was incarcerated please read the Wiki page https://www.sirshambling.com/artists_2012/G/jimmy_gresham/index.php

Frankie Crocker Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I really like the yellow one but not too fussed with the white one that somebody's scribbled on.
Zoomsoulblue Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 I can understand a collector wanting the singer to sign on a label , but putting you're name on the record - why ??
Peter Richer Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Just to add to the mix - here are 19 from Washington DC. 1
Peter Richer Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 A stage further - nineteen Shrines, two Jet Sets, and a Hem.
davidwapples Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 IS that a full run on shrine ? , looks well impressive

Yes it is a complete set, and in label number order: from Linda & Vistas (100) to Cavaliers (119). Edited October 20, 2017 by Peter Richer

I have all eight of those too, every one being pure class. Windy C is no doubt a highly commendable label to complete, tremendous value for money, and a must for all who appreciate Curtis Mayfield's production talents.
