Like Gene I probably didn't start buying from Cheapo 'til 79-80, (there seemed to be record shops on every street in Soho then). I worked around the corner for 10 years from '86 onwards, and used to drop in every few weeks to check, there were still multiples of Mamie Galore "Necessary", just about every 45 The Dells made on Cadet, and quite a few other things on Chess & Checker "Chained to Your Heart-Bobby Moore, Johnny Taylor "Changes" seemed to be there all the time, Yvonne Baker on Junior, sure Johnny Sayles on St. Lawrence came out of there, Lots of Grapevine Red Funk and ABC reissues, the afore-mentioned Loma L.P's, I had about 5 Edwin Starr & Blinky LP's out of there, leaving at least the same behind. Another institution falls, sad.

Hi Rich, Seen a few demos, think the issue must be harder.

Just seen this go through Ebay. Anyone seen Reggie Alexander or Jeen & Him as demo's?

Thanks for the tip-off, was thinking of selling mine!

Out of interest what does the North State one go for?

Hey Ian, leave our Cliff alone!! Cliff, I'll pm you later.

One more try before I think about the dreaded Ebay. Curley Moore "You Don't Mean" Sansu W/D Ex copy. Rarely seen for sale allnighter monster. May consider trades if pushed. Cash would be a preference. Thanks for your attention.

$652

To top that Butch has been dropping into his sets for a while.

How much for Sandy Hadley now?

Agree with all the above. Gilly sold me my gold copy for £2, telling me he'd give me £3 if I didn't like it.

Nice one Rich, that is cool

How times have changed, I had lunch with Guy & Keb last Sunday before Guy left to go traveling to Burma, I didn't see myself doing that back then!! Think Guy first played "Naughty Boy" in Scotland by the way.

"You Don't Mean" Sansu WD ex+ Scan if and when I can get to a scanner! Also: Furys "Another Fella" Mack IV WD Ex £50 Gene Anderson "Do You Love Me Baby" Nu-Tone Ex £150

Is it okay to say the fire has gone out?

[quote name MCPS do allow anyone to dub from from disc when the owner of the recording is unknown so I dont think Tim, Kev or whoever where trying to subvert the process and they certainly did give the artists / music much needed exposure. quote] How exactly does a non-working/recording artist benefit from this "exposure", unless they actually recieve royalties for their recorded work as sold on these compilations.

Is £2114 cheap?!

I Would've been 18/19 when I did my first spot back in '84.

What was that thing with the same sounding hook as "Hand It Over"?, great sound. Plus those two whoppers from Little Willie John

Nah, he got it from Keb (who got it from Butch)!
