Exactly

No problem at all Stevie

There`s definitely another female version but I can not remember by whom

Of course you don`t ! But as you intended to ask for european soul nights in summer I thought (and still believe) a night with Butch will be the best you find on the continent.

So make sure then to visit the 15th anniversray of the Hip City Soul Club in Berlin with guest DJ Butch on the second saturday of July

Amazing

Gwen owens & Melvin Davis I think that Gwen Owens "Mystery man" on Oncore is rarer than her "Wanted & Needed" (of which at least about ten copies surfaced since she last visited Britain...). The rarest of them all Melvin Davis has to be his Jackpot 45. I know of only two copies and most people including Tim Brown and Butch did not even know about this recording. A fab doublesider btw. Marc

Are you sure about that time period ? I´d guess it was nearly a year ago ?

None of them is cracked

Only one as far as I know...Pat brady to Gary Spencer to ? Marc

Her best and hardest to get...took me some time to obtain one. My advise would be to watch the bay...in case noone offers you one here of course....they do turn up there from time to time but can fetch more then guide lists them at

Of this and the Wind Hit biggie...

Have already been more then that before "the find"...

What a bargian for such a high quality record...just got his iother great 45 "The Love Of My Girl" Quality Soul

I have that one my current playlists and on the last Hip City tape. It is by the Del Royales on Mercury. Awesome tune indeed

Yeah, thats the one

I think it is VERY unlikeley to get this record (Tiny Topsy) at 25 UKP... more of 250.....

Internet...well said indeed, in the millenium of internet, CD`s and what you have there isn`t the need to travel anywhere anymore to hear the same old classics that most tend to play day in day out...that´s why it is the mixture me thinks that makes a DJ worth- and maybe travelwhile... If I would live in the UK I ould travel anywhere to hear certain DJs sounds... Money...well said again. Thats why I said a a "big" name DJ has to be a "man of value". Personally I do rate somebody more (as a DJ) who discovers a nice quality soul disc or semiknown for say 10 USD and plays it than somebody who always pays near double prices just to secure the "big" sounds... Marc

I think what makes a "big" name DJ has to be the right combination of semiknowns amongst quality oldies, the skill to play a "floading set" and the attitude and politic to put quality always before rarity. Further more he or she has to be a "(wo)man of value" and a book full of records he/she has found, played and broken. All IMHO only of course. Marc

5UKP he had to pay for the record in question

250 UKP ? One of his weaker moments on vinyl IMHO

Dennis Edwards Johnny On The Spot / I Didn` t Have To

oops, forgot one Paul Smith "Ain`t That Sth / I`ll Run" Jacklyn

Already many faves of mine were mentioned so I just add some more I was jsut spinning a few momenst ago JT Rhythm "All I Want Is You/My Sweet Baby" Palmer Jimmy Mack "My World Is On Fire / Go On" Palmer Lester Tipton "Go On" La Beat btw, dig out your Vivian Carroll and Pamela Baitey...top notch beat ballad stuff on both

I for myself decided to take only volume two as a reference now...volume three, well, I really wonder who beside Manship can get those prices. Anyone actually ever tried to sell records to a dealer with guide three in mind and hands ?
