what mr pearson doesn't mention is that he came on stage with a pre-prepared list of over-played tat that I wasn't to play before he came on,oh we did laugh PS how about a play list from last night at the mint lounge Mick

got mine off soulbowl for £25, mid-nineties when that's all it was really worth,not really noticed it played out that much apart from the occasional spin from Bob Hinsley,a cheaper alternative might be the grapevine re-issue you also get the brilliant "love is gone"on the flip cheers Mick

Ashford&Simpson original version of "ain't that somethin'"can't remember/be bothered digging the album out for the title,hodges james&smith "you take my love for granted"20th century LP,gene townsel"there's no use hiding"(allright maybe not so cheap)"time wounds all heals "-dobre

The best ebay item this week has to be curtis mayfield "move on up" on a US curtom promo,went for wait for it..........................£132,sorry did I miss something!very strange Mick

remember buying this off steve plumb at lowton,late nineties for £12 with a little stick on label with the words "the best soul album ever?" I think so! Mick

mine's a white demo with a picture sleeve,one of my better trades with cookie Mick

remember buying this off soulbowl early nineties for £15 when they had quantity of them,traded it off eventually with soul sam for joann garrett "whole new plan" still a good deal for me regardless of current inflated price Mick

Hi Paul,interesting to see that you have the jones bros "good old days" as the only UK ISSUE out there,interesting because I have an issue and I'm pretty certain derek pearson has one as well,interesting that both copies came from the same source about ten years ago,for the princely sum of £6 cheers Mick

Have you tried the system restore wizard,set the computer back to a date before your problems started,it worked for me,hope that helps cheers Mick

"stop giving you're man away" on SS7 is also very worthwhile picking up ,might have a spare of that somewhere if interested cheers Mick

I've sent you an e mail on the above gash,let me know cheers Mick

I have a copy of ZZHill "make me yours " for sale,condition is vg+,have graded it as this because it has surface marks but actually plays e+,price is £30,if you're interested post up your contact details cheers Mick

the john edwards version of "ain't that god enough" seems to be attracting attention again,one went for £67 a few weeks ago on ebay and then another copy went for £28 within about a week of each other,which just shows you can't use ebay as a reliable price guide Mick

staying with the classics Thelma Lindsey "prepared to love you/why weren't you there",Tangeers "what's the use in me tryin'/let my heart and soul be free" Lorraine Chandler "what can I do/tell me your mine" cheers Mick

it has been rumoured to be joyce bond,maybe pete smith can shed some light on it Mick

got to be marvin gaye for me ,tears it up big time Mick

also a jazzy version on cadet by Marlena Shaw is worthwhile picking up I have a spare copy somewhere if anyone's interested Mick

Alison,you need her other release on duo "one moment"covered up in the early nineties as barbara hall "one wife-time" in fact she has about four releases on the label ,all worthwhile chasing,happy hunting Mick

a bargain indeed then,you have to laugh at some of the punters using ebay,sold a few bits on friday,one which didn't sell suprisingly was boby Mclure you bring out the love in me,next day I get an email offering me £5 less than my starting price needless to say I didn't respond cheers Mick

looks like you're going to have to fly over to collect it though, check sellers instructions,says posts to US only good luck Mick

still vividly remember hearing the anderson brothers on one of the legendary thursday night's at the blue rooms(sale mecca) only the priveleged few knew it ,the following week not an inch of room to be had on the dancefloor great memories Mick

Hi Saxy it's £30 + P+P if you're interested post up your contact details I'll email you off list Mick
