You may be right with the time frame Pete, possibly longer than 5 years (fading memory and all that) Funny how this happened to both of us! - or spooky M.

It could be longer than 5 years since my contact with him, may be that he started to utilise the 'collection' M.

I may be able to throw some light here, John McDonald/John Lazenby are one & the same. John Lazenby McDonald - Full Name. About five years ago whilst trawling via google I came upon a list of records - wow! looked like a playlist from heaven, This was not a sales list, just a listing as you would perhaps list your own collection on a word document. Included was a name and address. I obtained a phone number and duly contacted the guy. The story was that the records belonged to his brother who had passed away. JLB was very enthusiastic and we spoke frequently over a period of weeks. Each call would bring out a few more titles from him as he 'opened more boxes' Obviously my ultimate end was to purchase as much as possible for very little money and we aggreed a figure for about 300 records. I was to travel to Scotland the following weekend to complete the deal. During the week he phoned to postpone owing to work commitments, These postponements continued for a two or three weeks with various reasons being cited. Finally he admitted that he had taken advice from someone who knew more about soul records than him and was waiting for some pricing help. I continued to 'badger' him over the next few days until the crunch came, He had been advised to purchase JM's price guide and would get back to me after he had priced everything. An e-mail duly arrived asking if I was still interested at the following prices - yes you guessed it - all individually priced straight out of JM's guide. I dont think JLB was ever a 'Northern Soul DJ'. He was a naive inheritor of a seriously good collection who 'wised up' after over excited badgering by me. God, Id never make a poker player! M.

Shirtails, Admirations, Ster-Phonics M.

All running OK, just a couple not loading Nice Jukebox! Life - 'Tell Me Why' - bit disco for you that one Pete

Hi & welcome! Your artwork is very impressive, a clever concept indeed. This forum is probably a good place to test the water for UK sales. What about smaller work on 45's Good luck with your venture M.

Thanx Gareth, aggree, the 'Who's Gonna Love Me' is a stunner, I thought this would have flown out as indeed the issue seems to be mega rare, recall JM got a bundle for a copy auctioned a few months ago! Best M.

OK Simon, here ya go Hall_B.MP3

New Clip below Hall_clip.MP3 Hall_clip.MP3

It has been brought to my attention - thanx Col - that the sound file with this record has a constant hiss throughout. This is definately not the case with the record I recorded the file using 'MP3MYMP3' following a recommendation on here, allthough very easy & quick to use I have found everything I recorded using this software suffers from the same hiss. Could be a compatiability thing at my end? Will get a new soundclip up shortly but if anyone was put off by the hiss you can contact me and I can play the record over the phone. Thanx M.

Just watched this go through and looked at some of the Q&A's This sellar seems like a nice guy, willing to defer payments and hold on deposit, Did buy one of his cheap items but RP out of my league this week, even with hire purchase! M.

bump before it hits auction

I can imagine who was lumbered with who!

Mr Oldfield ?

Wos it me?

So who was your first love then Kirst ? M.

Only picked this price Joe as I had just seen one on a list at £30, One of the first things to go! maybe you should 'edit listing' M.

Updated,

Cant believe someone wanting a copy would even ponder over the price At that money they should have just hit the 'buy now' button . Too much free time and not enough money methinks Bit like me at present

Redbrook is now of course the 'friendship' so the old house is still a rockin' M.

How about Voices of East Harlem, you'd get yer moneys worth with that lot ! About 50 of em

Just checked the site, dont suppose £80 is bad for an original piece, wonder if he can source the album though Wouldnt mind a Freddie Butler, that would be a snip at that price if he got the album too! Bit of a waste of one side tho M.

Look Nice Framed on the 'Music Room' Wall Mike! M.
