John Moffatt Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Hello everyone. I am sorry to trouble you all with this, but I really hope someone can help. Would you mind please keeping an eye out for a box of records that I left in a taxi on Sunday evening in Sheffield? I am currently waiting to see if anyone hands them in to the police, but if you are offered a blue and silver box of about 80 rare soul 7” 45s, they could well be mine. Included are titles such as Willie Pickett – On The Stage Of Life and The Hytones – Bigger And Better. These are part of a collection I have been putting together for about 50 years and I am desperate to get them back. If you want more details I can supply them. Many thanks for any help you can give. It would be very much appreciated. Message me please on 07708 976067. Cheers John Moffatt Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Posted to their forum. So many companies. Tried the major ones, but nothing yet. It was a random flag-down so no idea which. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Blackpoolsoul Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) 16 hours ago, John Moffatt said: Thanks mate, I'll contact them. I looked at Discogs this morning and had another idea. If you are a member or join, then you can add the records that are missing to a "wants" list and see if a seller lists them for sale, assuming they don't return. You can do a similar thing on Evilbay I would guess Edited December 14, 2021 by Blackpoolsoul 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
