Job done, i love this site...lol sit here post up a want and nine times out of ten you get lucky as i have tonight. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I think an old dear friend has come to the resue on this one, but just in case if anyone else can help me please get in touch. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Thanks Nige. Mark Bicknell.

And finally............. The Lovations - Heaven Told Me So B/W (I Keep Singing) La La La Ohh- Part III - One of the best records i've mentioned in this thread also turned out to be quite hard to find not loads of money but i bet most of the copies out there are tucked away in collections, i bought this years ago for about £8.00, two stunning sides. Oh i'm still looking for The Liberty Bells on Shout and The Para - Monts on Ole if anyone can help drop me an email bicknellmark@aol.com Regards - Mark Bicknell.

That's where i got my old copy from, i know it's a pretty common record in rare terms but just fancy another copy, may have sourced one but thanks for your comments, and yes i think £75.00 is too much...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Dito - Mark Bicknell.

Popular thread this one...lol, just played through this little lot, plenty of sparkle here!!!! Anna Craig - Nobody Loves Me - 20th Century - Nice little cheap record. Chris Clark - Don't Be Too Long - VIP - Brilliant tune.Blue eyed with very big hair and such a sweet voice. Ruby Lee - I Believe In You - Poptone - X Stafford spin still sounds good to me. Great R'n'B style flip that needs a spin and a mention. Delicates - Stop Shoving Me Around - Soultown - Love this, not that well known but does it for me. Timiko - Is It A Sin - Checker - Early Chicago gem. Tamiko - Don't Laugh If I Cry At Your Party - Atco - Same lady as above i think different spelling, anyone know? if they are one of the same, sounds like it. Patty Livingstone - I've Got My Baby - Dimension - Big hair, bright dress....big drama. Tammy Wayne - Have A Good Time - Boom - As above but more so...lol The Sweethearts - Beauty Is Just Skin Deep - Kent - Old Yate type spin, one of the best in this style awesome. The Persionettes - Call On Me B/W It Happens Every Day - OR - Two great manic sides, love them both. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Can you remember who it was that listed it, cheers. Mark Bicknell,

The girl group thread i started on here got me thinking of one or two bits i've let go, could use a nice clean copy of The Paramounts - Come Go With Me Now - Ole - Please contact 0161 330 6267 or bicknellmark@aol.com Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Brian i was racking my brains trying to think where that record went, via ebay was it not? rasonable price i seem to remember...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I'll let you get the weekend out of the way first and a couple of weeks to recover...lol let's do it soon. Mark Bicknell.

Good luck with the 'Lifeline' weekender Chalky i hope it's a banging event, talk soon regarding doing another show together. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Sorry Kev...lol oh and i just been upstairs playing a few more girlie tunes.......i'll save the next ten until later so you can do a little work. Mark Bicknell.

More Sparkle with another almost perfect ten...lol Rose St. John And The Wonderettes - I Know The Meaning B/W Fool Don't Laugh - Veep - Two supeb sides. Sandra Phillips - You Succeeded - Broadway - A Killer track from this lady leaves 'World Without Sunshine' way behind IMO. Bee Gee Stans Of Detroit - Front Page Love - Tal Vert - Awesome record that needs playing out and about again. Sharon McMahan - Love Is Wonderful - Karen - Ollie McLaughlin was a genius so is Miss McMahan on this slightly easier Karen 45 to find than the other belter from her which everyone wants and Miss Wallace and Miss Livesey already own...lol Irma And The Facinators - Lost Love - Scepter - Ok so semi girlie here...lol what a tune though. Irene And The Scotts - I'm Stuck On My Baby - Smash - Tunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne! Tina Britt - You're Absoltley Right b/w "Look" - Eastern - I bet The Appolas were gutted when they heard this version awesome record and a superb flip too. The Belles - Don't Pretend - Mirwood - Already mentioned above simply stunning record. Marva Josie - Don't - United Artists - 100 Club ender so so good, makes me cry. Darlene Love - Too Late To Say You're Sorry - Reprise - Superb record from one time Blossom and Crystal, hauting into, superb vocal performance. I'll be back...lol Mark Bicknell.

Some nice selections there Craig....more from me throughout the day....it's my day off so nothing else to do...lol Mark Bicknell.

Seems to be a hard ABC number to find Rachel, had mine years but never really played it much, 'Back Door Kenny' will remember this one infact he had it way way back in the very early 80's, infact he played it to me first.........cheers Kenny Mark Bicknell

Each to his or her own there Dave, Mamselles is one of those difficult records to switch on to, possibly will never be a big record but for me has that something a little special. Mark Bicknell.

Two more to be going on with.......... The Blossoms - That's When The Tears Start - Reprise - Written by the legend that is Van McCoy, Darleen Love on lead vocal......extra sparkly dresses here folks, classic thumping Northern Soul. The Shirelles - Wait Till I Give The Signal - Scepter - Great record from a first class group, never really been played out that much and should be, if you have a spare £25.00 and you see this listed then pay the man, well worth a spin. Mark Bicknell.

That was in pile two as well....lol Keep them coming. Mark Bicknell.

That was in my next pile Nige.....lol and the brilliant flip side too. Mark Bicknell.

I've always claimed to favour male records with a real soft spot for the vocal groups, Falcons, Volumes, Hesitations, Artistics,Dells etc. etc. but when looking through the collection recently i noticed i have rather a lot of female/girl group records and started to play a seesion back to back and what a buzz, great fun. Might make for an interesting thread, so get looking through those boxes. Madeline Wilson - Dial "L" For Lonley - Samar - Fantastic record out of Rochester NY, has it all, mood, voice simply perfection. The Darlings - Two Time Loser - Kay-Ko also Mercury - Awesome early production with that something just a little bit special. The Valons - "You're Something Special - Mark III - As above a very early track out of Newark, New Jersey, possibly an old Stafford spin. The Star Treks - Gonna Need Magic - Veep - Surperb Philly record that never really went as big as it should, needs playing more at the oldies venues. The Mamselles - Open Up Your Heart (Let Love Out) ABC - Another record yet to have it's day at the venues, very hard ABC number to locate but well worth the hunt. The Bobbettes - Having Fun - RCA - Crunching uptempo girl group proper Northern Soul from the 'Happy Go Lucky Me' girls, first class. The Vashonettes - A Mighty Good Lover - Checker - Awesome Chicago again this one has it all. Quite hard to find being one of the lesser known Checker numbers. Suger And The Spices - Have Faith In Me - Swan - Records as good as this take me to another place, i know this one is on many want's list and rightly so, hard to find now due to huge demand but well worth a couple of hundred quid of anyone's money....lol The Atlantics - What So Good About Goodbye - Marquee - Written and also recorded by Smokey Robinson this is division one girls at their awesome very best, hard to find and a quality record. The Sweet Three - That's The Way It Is (When A Girl's In Love) - Decca - A beautiful record that has had some turntable action but not enough IMO, written by Leon Huff producing the perfect song from the golden era of the mid 60's. A perfect ten and most enjoyable also inspiration for a future Solar show..lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Singing Sam - Move It Baby - Dan-dy - second copy only £30.00 once a tenner i know...lol The Darlings - Two Time Loser - Kay - Ko More from the postie this week i hope...lol Mark Bicknell.
