  1. It probably was the first time out at Blackburn I would've been there too, not the UK though as I'd played it at the 100 Club.
  2. The best thing was when he sold up the prices were very reasonable, off the top of my head: Frank Beverly-Because of My Heart- 75 Barbara Acklin-Special Agent- 75 Deadbeats - Strata -100 Melvin Davis - Wheel City - 125 Limelights - Uncle - 150 Romona Collins - Clarks -35 Johnny Hampton - Dotty's - 75 Plus there was tons of good semi knowns for 25 and under!
  3. Actually I had it c/u as Dave Charles and I had it before Butch as well, It first came from Martin Koppel then young Nick Brown turned up a few copies, I grabbed a spare from there and played it uncovered, Ady Croasdell & Butch got it shortly after.
  4. Looking at that list don't remember Jim having Dave Charles?
  5. JIm also had the Groovettes before Guy played it.
  6. Jim played Ted Wilson on Sierra for a while (wasn't first with it though) He had stuff like Limelights-Uncle, Barbara Acklin-Special Agent too.
  7. I thought the "I Won't Believe It" unissued was an Ady Croasdell first from when he was putting out the Shrine stuff with Eddie Singleton?
  8. Agreed, play the inst side myself from time to time!
  9. Owned by Jay Ward Productions, best know for Rocky & Bullwinkle Show!
  10. It was c/u as Gwen Owens and the Servicemen! by Pat Brady.
  11. They're talking about her release on Enterprise not Back Beat (Soul City).
  12. First time I heard him play was at Swan Hotel.
  13. Never heard of one, have you found one? Intrigued of Walthamstow
  14. I found boxes and boxes of unplayed copies of both in Chicago in 1990, no copies of King's Of Soul though!!
  15. I got a reply from him the other week, apparently his email wasn't working, I got through on coleminesoul@gmail.com He was very apologetic about it.
  16. Yes, and I know the whereabouts of at least 10.
  17. Should be in everyones bottom 10!
  18. I don't think Brand New Faces is particularly rare it used to be around a lot at £8 if you could find someone willing to part with the money Jimmy Burns and Bobby James for me every time. in that order.
  19. Willie and The Handjives had been a big record for Ady, before Sooty started playing it and I definitely heard it played elsewhere too!
  20. What great memories! as an apprentice platemaker in 81 I had Soul Bowls lists sent to my work and got in for the post to drop around 8.15 there'd be barely time to look before I'd start dialling, sometimes I'd dial before I'd even got the staple out, always got something, those really were the days!
  21. A Samuel M Kahn was listed in Billboard under Music Makers Network of Wilmington NC as late as 1972, wonder if it's the same?
  22. My "College Boy" is on the orange label also suggesting 2 runs on that.
