  1. Just a different flip isn't it? "I've Changed"
  2. Counts? Prophets? Cavaliers? J.D. Bryant? Bill Dennis? The 1st three weren't even known when Nick was collecting Shrine, so I'd say it was far from complete.
  3. Called "Welcome Home"
  4. Hence the Decca album being called "Welcome Home".
  5. That's what I heard too, Dave, white demo, he was also spinning Don Gardner "Cheating Kind".
  6. I don't think it's our Tony, Ady, I'm sure I've seen it mentioned before??
  7. It's early mate, I know :-)
  8. Chessmen, Chalky!
  9. Ernie Terrell, Jean Terrell's older brother and heavyweight boxer and "Smokiin;"Joe Frazier as well! Forgot Jimmie Ellis was a bit handy too!
  10. It seemed poorly organised to me, with not that many US rarities in there, unless the collection had been picked through already.
  11. Great stuff, look forward to hearing it LOUD on Saturday!
  12. Agreed, Pete, Joy Lovejoy demo is still a rare un and also without wanting to offend anyone , Yiddish Soul Brother...It's a bit shit really, let's be honest the guy can't sing and the backing isn't that great either, I can live with that gap in my collection.
  13. Yes, Toni Ross, again!, Guy to Ion, then to me for a few years, and most of them Carl bending my ear, finally made me an offer I couldn't refuse... I never saw the one on ebay, at that price I would've had it back with a bit to spare!!
  14. What you want to pay for L.Allen or is it the Larry Allen release you want?
  15. Not to mention the Bandstand USA subsidiary!
  16. Nice one Chalks, pretty much as I said Still not seen Vel-Tones on styrene though, it exists on 300, so it must be out there! I've had Ivory Joe Hunter on both and thought they were pretty hard and good and very underated!
  17. Quite a task there mate, as you've got the earlier releases when they were distributed by Vee-Jay etc. good luck with that! Sure theAmy-Mala- Bell link up didn't kick in til '66 think the Vel-Tones was the first on the yellow & white label, never seen a blue styrene on this title, previous to this release you have local release (gold) and and the usual Vee-Jay black east coast and yellow west coast varieties.... I'm sure Garethx can add to this!
  18. For this record or all of them?
  19. Doesn't exist as a white demo, it is the same as the issue with "DJ Copy", there is a pic of it on here somewhere. Hang on I was thinking about Joy Lovejoy!
  20. Didn't Sam pay in the region of 1500 for it?, caused a bit of a stir at the time and was the record that got Sam playing 60's again.
  21. Sorry chaps didn't mean to sound so stern!
  22. While Gwen was definitely from Detroit, Lillie however was not and neither was the Tayster label< Liile was from New Jersey and Tayster and sister label Rojac were based in Harlem.
  23. Yes, the C*unt is wellworth avoiding, I made him a (what I thought) reasonable offer on a record and got an invective filled reply in return, virtually labelling myself and my fellow countrymen as out and out thieves!
