Wow , whats on the " These kind of blues " set ? Best ,Eddie

The only format I've got it on is the "Avco mobile discoteque" various artists album , good version . Best ,Eddie

The Betty Harris album is a great one as are all the Action albums ,Bobby Bland - Piece of gold , Al Greene - Back up train , Action packed soul [ various ] etc .Never seen the Mighty Sam for sale , got to be a tough one .Thanks ,Eddie

Yes , I was thinking that as well Pete , is it a proper label or just a test pressing ? , I know there's no cover to it .This is the one Searling left on his car roof when he drove away isn't it ? Best ,Eddie

Following on from the UK '45's thread ,as an album collector I'd be interested in what are considered the rarest and best UK albums ? Two to throw into the hat from my own collection " Chartbusters USA " a great compilation of Okeh sides on UK Columbia , includes Walter Jackson " Where have all the flowers gone " and The Artistics " This heart of mine ". My copy came from John Abbeys collection when his ex -wife discarded them to a junk shop. Also Major Lance " The Rhythm of " UK Columbia , never seem to see this around , bought mine off Brian Rae at Wigan for £10 in the 70's .Any more suggestions , there must be loads ...........Cheers ,Eddie

Think it was late Wigan , early Stafford Paul . Gary Rushbrooke spin ? Best ,Eddie

Used to think Jethro from Wolverhampton was one of the best , really natural style .Who was that guy who used to dance near the front corner of Wigan , black hair , not a great dancer but amazing spins ? He's on the "this England "film a lot.Often wondered if these guys / girls ever collected , they were never in the record bar , always " out on the floor ".Best ,Eddie

Real one's Ian , I got £350 for mine which seemed like a fortune at the time - not now tho ' !! Best ,Eddie

I was with you when you found them Neil , and bought one of each !! Tell us the story of how you turned up the Mel Britt's , because I had one of those off you via an ad in Echoes , £8 I think ? Best ,Eddie

Hi Ian , I'd have thought that you'd get at least 60 to 70 quid for the Frank Wilson ? Best ,Eddie

Hi Kev ,I had the tall feller from Stoke experiance in 1980 , during a trip to Seattle with Rob Moss .I knew Tim Ashibende was going 2 weeks before me [ with Nogger ] , and his image haunted me in every shop I went it in " Hey you from England ? We had 2 guys in just last week !! " Anyway in this particular shop we got the same old story , but while Rob was chatting to the owner ,I had a browse through some ' 45's on the counter .Half way through I found a Steinways on Oliver for about $ 2 , this was my top want at the time and I'd already found another copy in Vancouver , so we thought it might still be worth having a dig . A few hours later we'd bagged around 150 ' 45's including Ray Pollard " Drifter " issue , Checkmates Ltd " Kissin ' her - Capitol ,Lee Andrews - I've had it - Crimson issue , 2 Dan Folgers - Way of the crowd , Ernie Andrews Fine young girl , Star Treks - Gonna need magic , Attractions That girl is mine , Kenny Carter all his RCA sides , and many more .... On the same trip I found Paul Anka Can't help loving on Canadian Red RCA ,Deena Johnson I'm a sad girl Simpson Black issue [ only one I've ever seen !! ] Claudia Greene on ABC , plus loads of 70's albums [ still sealed ] Bobby Womack , Lamont Dozier etc from an electrical shop for around 30p each .Best Wishes ,Eddie

I love " Get away " by Gordon Chambers off the Angela Johnson ,Cliff . good CD . Best ,Eddie

Your missus !!! Best Wishes ,Eddie

Those Kenny Smiths were issues wern't they Harry ? I remember buying one off a guy at Wigan for £8 [ maybe it was you !! ? ] and recall the seller saying he had got it out of a soul pack , great find eh , and you don't see them around anymore , wish I'd kept it now LOL ........Best ,Eddie

I got a Bobby Taylor at a soul night recently for £30' ish which I thought very fair , great one eh Ian ? Best ,Eddie

Think it was Guy or Keb who played at Stafford , or maybe Gary Rushbrooke ? Best ,Eddie

Yes , great choice ,Billy had such a unique vocal style didn't he ? Virtually everything I've ever heard by him is wonderful .Best ,Eddie

Hoagy Lands is fast becoming my favourite Ady , known by me for years only for " The next in line " since he appeared at Cleethorpes I've been collecting his sides , everything he recorded to my ears is superb so far , think he cut about 17 ' 45's - got about 10 so far .Interesting subject ,and Lou Johnson is a great choice as well .Best ,Eddie
