Dave Abbott

I PAID ABOUT £100 SIX YEARS AGO; IT WAS A TOUGHIE TO GET...WELL I THOUGHT SO. I HAVE HEARD BUTCH PLAY THE USA ACETATE - SOUNDS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME TO ME

one of the best ever - RIP Bobby Bland ..thank you for one of my favourite ever songs... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF9Bv-5A59w

which one came first??

very sad, RIP

funny, great ending though

It shouldn't have an 'E' (unless that's what you mean)

why would they have two boxes?? Why take all these records many of them take out?! (nothing to do with recent occurances, but no need)

Think it already is...

It's a tragic story and not one for the faint hearted - I almost cried when he showed me the photo of his three bits :-(

i think listening at home on the computer doesn't do it justice - it's a great tune imo, go and hear it out :-) and until recently i thought that it didn't have a label number, so either i dreamt that (quite possible!) or is there a Sir Guy 45 that is not numbered??

Jim-T according to his brother-in-law Howard Govens (Jims that is not Silas) sure Andy or someone with investgation skill could find out - from this page https://www.evanwsmithfuneralservices.com/book-of-memories/1497650/Phifer-Silas/view-condolences.php?Printable=true

super stuff!

my first spot went something like this... CORNER BOYS — GANG WAR SMOKESTACK — WALL BETWEEN US DELSHAN & LOVE CHILDREN — ANGELA BABY LOVE & BROTHERHOOD — YOU’RE MY MAN ELDRIDGHE HOLMES — WHERE IS LOVE WILLIE WEST — SHE’S SO FINE DARONDO PULLIAM — HOW I GOT OVER AL DANNER — YOU ARE MY HAPPINNESS LOVE EXPERIENCE — ARE YOU TOGETHER FOR THE NEW DAY 86 PROOF — YOU AIN’T ABOUT LA-DE-DA LEROY CLOVER — MR BIG MAN RUDY LOVE — LET’S MAKE LOVE C/U FREDRICK KNIGHT — STEPPIN DOWN JOHNSON & COULTER — YOU GOT TO MAKE IT FOR YOURSELF CLARENCE COULTER — DETROIT CITY TRIADS — IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR LOVE

it is a tough record and quite rare...it took me a year to get one after hearing Rob Messer play it in Bournemouth in August 2004 and I first played it at Cala Gran Balckpool weekender in October 2005 with Kev Roberts in attendance some four year or so before Karl got his and probably 15 years after Ady had stopped playing his....

I have only ever seen yours Mike - though they must have pressed quite a few!

get well soon Dave x

Oh bollox I have just had to read it about ten times - I thought he was saying it's crap and always was... Mal - I openly apologise to you...though not for the thread title, and....some things aren't a laugh when you feel passionate about them the rest of you can still fack off

beautiful Pete

No only the 'you lot' bit and that is not what i am fecked off about......

That was probably me, Dave and I do take back the 'you lot' in my post as I know many people do of course go out. And so what gives others God given right to criticise other music - Mal called it crap in his opening post, he didn't praise it. And those that don't go out refer to it as 'funky shite' etc can only hear it if they go out because they wont play it at home, but then they don't go out and so therefore don't hear it so why bloody moan about it?! But it was the thread title really that did it LOL Anyway I am over it now, I have just done a very good bit of car parking that I am happy about. And as some of my records have been posted on here; here's another...

change the fucking title then Joe

us too

now I know you are all having a laugh hahhaa

And Give me this Funk record over that or any other - (to hear out people; not at home alone)
