Can anyone tell me if Cappy of Cappy's Record Store in Detroit is still about. From what I understand his store was probably in excistence from the late 50's to late 70's, I think he had lots of stock after closure that he sold at early format record fairs. I have no idea if Cappy is still with us, I hope he is, if he is making contact would be great, any help here much appreciated. I am in contact with some lucky collectors who used his store and saw him at the record fairs in the late 70's, they've been helpful with recollections, but what I'm really trying to establish is did he have close contact with the Motown set up? The picture I am building is he may have been an influential figure, clearly as a Detriot based store owner he would have been in prime position to sell, promote or distribute Motowns output, but I'm keen to know if he had any inside role or links with the Motown set up? Looking forward to hearing from anyone. Cheers, Lee

Couple of stunning 45's up for grabs. PM me with any questions or to reserve. Intensions - She needs somebody / You say that you love me - USA 811 Ex+ £1800 SOLD Here we go with 2 breathless Chicago sides. "She needs somebody" is carried by coarse by faultless up-tempo vocals, punctuated by catchy backing harmonies, "You say" matches the top side for pace, pounds along onthose raw group vocals associated with traditional Northern. Probably the rarest release on Jim Golden's label, suffering from its own obscurity but highly revered where its owned and played. Plays spot on M- and apart from the pressing's lustre which is not as shiny as some you see, there are just the mildest signs of use and no marks to write home about - minimal. The top label (b-side really) look mildly aged, dulled over time, no different to what I've seen with the Shadows, Baby Huey and Carole Waller etc, the flip has sharper colours. No writing, tears or lift etc. She needs somebody.mp3 You say that you love me.mp3 Little Tommy - Baby can't you see - Sound of Soul 104 M- £1200 SOLD Given the write up for the Intensions being so rare, I'm not trying to ignore this fabulous dancer out of Richmond, Virginia, which is still filling dance floors after all these years. Tough to find in this condition, clean labels and great vinyl, plays superb. Raised X on flip run out.

Raphael Munnings - Opportunity knockin' / Sleep on, dream on - Alston 4610 Ex £700 OVNO Opportunity knockin.mp3 Sleep on dream on.mp3 Henry Stone & Steve Alaimo's Miami label, deep with rich produce sporting this extraordinary double sider. "Opportunity" is an intoxicating mid-tempo crossover dancer that's been packing floors where this 45 is lucky enough to have been resident. "Sleep on" is emerging from the shadows of its bigger brother, steadily getting the recognition it deserves and reminding me of the Appointments "Keep away" and Universals "Diamonds and pearls" grittier funky edged tracks that's become so sought after on the scene of late. Overall I rate the 45 at Excellent, there are some marks on "Opportunity" side, which have light feedback, but it plays loud and clear just short of Ex, "Sleep on" plays close to M-, both labels have minor writing as per scans, the distributor line has been misprinted off the label, otherwise fine - Hard to find 45 let alone in this very reasonable condition.
