Save us one mate, I`ll be in touch..... Cheers, Chris

Sorry about that! Mark, I have the Ron Keith LP, from memory its more of a test presing...the front cover is a picture of a recording studio in true mid 70s style! There are no other standout tracks but it does contain "Gotta go be what you tell me"....again from memory the label is Kendun..... I`ll check all thye details if needed when i get home....... Chris

Wow...I was telling a mate about this track last week...and i couldn`t find the words to tell him just how good "I wonder why" was.......God, I might actually buy a re-issue.....where do i get it from again? Chris

I was involved in a discussion the other night about the sandra Wright LP...did it ever come out or are the UK Demon issues the first issues? What about the Sy Hightower LP.....? Chris

Mark, Give us a call mate and we will sort out a date....looking forward to it! Cheers, Chris

Top bloke, Top DJ.....a great passion for the music......and he always seemed really please to see you.....lovely guy........ Chris

Was just spinning this little tune and suddenly WOW...what a record...absolute epitome of mid-tempo class........

Gino Washington (the American one), Little Ann, Phil Hurt, Jimmy Burns, Bill Lucas, Ernie Fields...all in the US....... Chris

Anyone know anything about this? Its R&B in style.....anyone interested in buying it....valued at £100 in Johns book, is this accurate?.........any info gratefully received... Cheers, Chris

Just a reminder that all reserved records can be collected at Cleethorpes weekender this coming weekend....... Cheers, Chris

Hi Mate, Yeah got a few Johnson Familys....all gone now though......sold both copies of solid solution too I`m afraid...... Not sure about Oakland, seemed ok when i was last there, found a half decent store but god knows where it is or what its called....I`ll mail you off-list re the other places but its tough on that west coast mate, lots of competition for good records too..... Good to chat as always, maybe see you again at Allentiown in Sept? good times last year! Chris

Hi Guys, Well, just back from another trip stateside, bloody hard work as usual but found some tasty tunes for your aural stimulation. The Sales CDs return this month, so its back to business as usual after my personal disasters of the last few months. Don't forget you can now you can pay by credit card at no extra cost. If you don't have a paypal account just go to www.paypal.com and sign up, its so easy! I always try to grade records accurately although its impossible to play every record, that's why I offer a money back guarantee if not completely satisfied for any reason. Gradings are as follows; M-Faultless, probably unplayed, E- Very clean and a nice copy. VG - Used but plays through ok with some light noise, great for DJing with. Please order ALL RECORDS by email, first come, first served, however if you need to call me please do so.(01283 536359) P&P is £1.50 for up to 2 x 45 and £2.60 per LP, obviously cheaper if you buy more than one item.

I`ve got a few Gigs this month, In about 4 hours I`ll be spinning at the Belvedere Club all dayer in Burton on Trent. Next Friday, June 2nd I`ll be guesting at the brilliant Stafford Rangers soul night, across the board music policy and i get the chance to spin some of my new finds too! If you haven`t been to this yet I can highly recomend it as a great night. I`ll be spinning at Birmingham all-nighter on June 24th, again this event has a progressive policy and, looking at the DJ line-up,promises to be a great night.

Please email me if you have one to sell....or trade....fair price paid........ Chris

A solid £50....sold a few at this price....... Chris

Andy, I`ll be in touch about the book...seems like i get a decent story everytime i get out there....this time it was somebody who used to work at the Columbia pressing plant and brought home handfulls of records....kept them for years until two friendly English guys turned up to take them off their hands.....funny thing is amoungst the find was 7 mint copies of Bobby Sheen "Something new to do"......not a bad find but when i play them its not Bobby Sheen at all but some other bloody record, female vocal, its not bad actually but not a clue what it is! Seems strange writing about this, it was only 2 weeks ago tomorrow!! The thing about record finding stories is that its all date specific. It was obviously much easier to find record years ago, an average find in the 70s would be a major find today.....I didn`t get to the states til the early 90s and it was never easy even then....... Chris

I`ve just got back from my 22nd trip Stateside,in fact i worked out i have spent a year out of my 36 years on the planet in the states looking for records. I could probably write a book of stories about whats happened to me, or what nearly happened! I`ve got more stories about amazing finds but also had some amazing experiences too.Heres just one that springs to mind I took some pepper spray in my pocket as we visited a guy in south side Chicago (just in case), after a while my leg started itching and the pepper spray had leaked....it was bloody killing me...i went to the guys bathroom and wiped it all off with his face flannel...sometimes i imagine the guy washing his face that night and being blinded by the mystery stuff in his eyes!! Without doubt John Anderson is the king of story telling...he has kept us entertained on many a boozy record show night with his amazing stories.....lovely guy too...... I did her somebody (Andy Dyson?) was writing a book about this..... Chris

JESSIE MAE-DON`T FREEZE ON ME-ARP ..................... To be honest that is a shockingly bad record.......... Fuckin hell!! Chris

From memory and not in order this is some of what i played at Bestwood soul night in Notts on Saturday; Tempests- Someday Al Williams-I am nothing Ronnie McNeir-Sitting in my class Kings of soul-Is your love for me Milton Parker-Women like it harder Teddy Pendergrass-Do me Bitter and sweet-I wont have any babies for you David Ruffin-Rode by the place Andrea Henry-I need you like a baby Soul bros inc-Pyramid Randy Brown-Always in the mood Bottom and Co-Gonna find a true love Virgil Henry-You aint saying nothing new Charles Johnson-Never had a love so good Johnnie Meastro-Steppin out of the picture Little Tommy-baby cant you see Sparkells-Try love one more time Dynamics-You make me feel good Determinations-Bing bong Chris

Ernie Johnson will go up for sure...seems to be a lot of people asking about it already. I had a nice tune thru the door this morning that falls into this catagory Patti Drew "Stop and listen", I`ve been spinning this on and off for a couple of years and now it seems to be getting the recognition it deserves......just about £30......sorry this one is already sold! Chris

Barry, Been big for well over a year around here...and you wont get a copy for under £30 mate...good effort though, thats the kinda thing I`m talking about...whats the next one?????? Chris

I just sold a US tamla copy of "Why when love is gone" on ebay for £52.....that was after i listed it on my list at £15 and had no takers........madness.......but I`m not complaining! Chris

Thats already massive,....and about 2k! Chris.

We have probably had threads like this before but i was thinking about the Pat and the Blenders record going for silly money....and everyone saying its crazy...so what do you think the next record to go through the roof is? A few rules; it cant be a mega-rarity, it must be known or semi-known and currently available for less than £30.........I`m thinking about the next Betty Swan, Ace Spectrum, David Ruffin kinda thing........ Chris
