Wiggyflat

Mine came in a paper picture cover....will have to dig it out.

I still do it....Dave Evison said he hadn't seen it done for years and loved it.Loved those old Blues And Soul adverts...gives a bit of a flavour of the event.

Saw him and Greg Fay about 5 months ago...he seems fine.

Ive had some funny moments flyering............an organiser of another event at another event picked one up once and shouted you can't have an oldies event in london...and then proceeded to say we would have let you do an event if you asked....???/ I will spare his blushes.At a small cellar bar I had someone run around after me picking them up and screwing them up(he wasn't even the organiser of the event!)...I had hundreds so he was on to a loser.I don't care who flyers my events as the events I run are musically different to most southern run events.I have had flyers mailed to me and put them out on the door.Some of the promoter antics remind me of this film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_tcza_oxdE

Ive got colour film footage of her singing from a blaxploitation film somewhere....think the film is Dolemite.

Yeah and wouldnt i have liked to go on and played Limitations,Carlettes,IThought that you were mine Boola Boola,a few unreleased things,Backyard Construction, etc etc to a full floor..........it aint gonna happen.Keep the faith brothers....Right On Now.In Germany at the moment after hearing 25 year olds play out in Cologne all on originals...its a bit like being a passenger in a rolls Royce and then being a passenger in a knackered white metro back in the uk at some places.

Sold my last copy to Rob Bailey for about 20 quid in the 90s after finding a few in a Paris fleamarket...this was a massive tune on the jazz scene in 89 90...but most played it off the lp.Never keen on it myself but my head was around finding bobby montez at the time.Try Rob you never know........ zNw

Don't like the Voltairs...but it's horses for courses.Not a fan of the vocal harmony midtempo sound......but i do have the other Bacone 45.Limitations -Lonely Troubled which is more my cuppa t.Only heard it played out a few times, once by the Solid Hit Soul boys in London.I believe Tim Ashibende found a box of these.The Barry White ive had for years on Uk President....never played that out either.I think these days I could only get away with 2 or 3 semi/unknowns.

That Marvelows is a great double sider.......

Red ones were packed into Richard Domar soulpacks along with loads of Onederful stuff late eighties.

Ive got a lot of the black Ember releases issues and demos (rock stuff).I have seen Fork In The Road written test pressing ...it was on the same colour label prior to the black/silver and hand written.Looks like all the black/silver demos were undated. https://www.45cat.com/label/ember/4

Just got this one....

Neil Rushton played some interesing stuff...alt version of Youngblood Smith....a duet (was it I'm The One To Do It alt Jackie Wilson) and a few others

Geeselad.....i like bugaloo latin soul etc but it is novelty hispanic pop music.There is nowhere on this thread where you have to stipulate colour...just non soul tracks.Most of the bugaloo artists were straight ahead afro cuban musicians who had been in the big mambo bands Tito Puente Rodriguez Machito etc and were releasing these novelty 45s on the back of the Motown explosion.Bad Breath Its A Good. good Feeling,El Pito are all novelty dance recotds....now Joe Baatan Ordinary Guy is a different matter altogether.You are talking shite...

Pop novelty latin records Never Learnt To Dance Harvey Averne,Sugar-Isonics,Use It Before You Lose It,Hey Sister etc etc.

Ive got a Pyramid...paid 150 quid to someone on Soulsource about 2 years ago....an ender record for me.

Pete i think chapman had blues and souls...apologies.Will keep my eyes peeled for 3 ..

Sean Chapman has a load for sale on his site.

Want this overplayed oldie on original US please vg upwards....Thanks

Two days ago i found a Us Peacock comp from 73... Its on the ABC label though...a weird find for a junkshop in Sydenham.

Here's another tape from the box....this time a selection of tracks played at London's Scenesville Club in 2002...some good and not so good tracks imho...anybody name them?

I was told my vinyl would be obsolete and worthless after Brothers In Arms came out on Cd ...what year was that? Vinyl has weathered the storm of Cd and Mp3...with the vintage craze massive at the moment i know people that have started collecting 78 s and these are young kids.The Victoriana uk psych has started to be collected by Steampunks!!

The top 500 northern will always sell because like it or not the majority are the best records.This doom mongering usually comes from people who sold up in the eighties.In the eighties i could buy records for five and ten pounds....wait until the Chinese market opens up...

I have about 7 or 8 thousand singles....mixture of northern/reggae (about 800 45's up to 71)/freakbeat/psych,200 punk,boogaloo/funk,about 100 acetates(psych/soul) and about 6,000 lp's....all genres but loads of latin/jazz.I sell to buy and im lucky that i have always bought twice if cheap enough.Play stuff everyday..would love a loft conversion music room.

Ive bought a lot on here and had no problems.Any records i sell i photo on the phone to establish identity....re e bay..sold a few records to a bloke....reggae bits.I got a fake paypal e mail and sent the records off....i then get a message from ebay telling me he was a scammer.Luckily he had a london address so me and a few friends visited....it was a squatted warehouse in shoreditch with piles of post near the door.I remember when a lad on here lost a lot of money on a Mr Soul and google earthing the address....threse fraudsters use addresses where they pick mail up or get someone to forward it.Paypal accounts get cleared into other bank accounts.
