When does this happen? Went to buy a Diggie radio today in Stockport. Jazz FM was on in the store?? Just wondering.

Interesting thread. Had Billy Woods in late 70,s but it had an edge warp. Sold to Dave Raistrick. Always regretted it got another copy now but it is cracked. Plays with a styrene hiss though. I guess no chance of finding another. So it stays. Guess rare stuff would be bought IF desired enough.

Happened to me years back. Dead chuffed got a George Blackwell from a very well known dealer/DJ. Paid about the right price. Then after one or two comparisms then the JM bootleg book I realised it was a fake. Told him and got my money back. Anyhow he resold to a guy who had a reputation for thumping first and asking questions after. Anyhow this guy realised it was a fake as well,by which time dealer had left the venue. Anyhow the lad got his money back before returning the GB to said dealer COMPLETE WITH NEAT HOLE DRILLED THROUGH THE RECORD.

That's what I have.

I for one cant wait

Any further news? Sure I recall it being said it would be done for the NewYear!

Read Johns description on his auction today. The one on Monument. Totally brilliant John, brought a big smile to my face.

Hope its The Inspirations. Totally love it.

Back in the 70,s my dad used to make them. Made of cast metal, with a leather bootlace to tie it round your neck. I used to take them to HMV in Bedford and HMV in Manchester. Took a few to WC at the time as well.Dad was trying to set up his own foundry business at the time. Wonder where they are now?

Tend to agree.It dont really get going. Just adding to the thread!! Hope you are ok?

Heard Sister Lee inst last week and what about Betty Boo?

Rob Marriott had it around 1980. He put it on tape for me. Felt there was a Levine connection here from memory.

Christ how do you start. Ila Vann Cant help loving that man. ( My first visit to WC around June 74) Later it has to be Cecil Washington. Sams Ernie Bush Breakaway. Peterborough Wirrina Bits n Pieces and Lou Pride St Ives Little Joe Cook Yate cant really recall a stand out track Rotherham William Powell 100 Club Danny Woods and Appointments Locally Bedford Dena Barnes, Yvonne Baker and early stuff like Right Track and Out on the floor St Neots Apple Peaches Pumkin Pie , Bobby Hebb and Tell me it is just a rumour.

Phew I need a sit down now.

With Julian B on this.

Frankie Karl was in the stage show Hair in the late 60,s ( I think). There is a piccie of him in that. Google may confirm. Nice photo that!

Many great memories. Got backstage with them around 1981/2. They were superb and humble. Signed my cover of I,ll Turn to stone. Gave it to Alan Pollard bless him many moons ago. Shake me wake me. Is for me the BEST motown tune. As the tears streamed down my face. Raw emotion. Dripping in soul. Finally I also breed German Shepherd Dogs as well. My kennel is called Mirrwood and ALL my dogs have soul names. Sadly my old male Stubbs had to be put down two weeks ago. Strange that this lovely piece should appear today.

Funny thing is I have a colostomy bag. I was gonna ask for it to be decorated with Arsenal badges being a Spurs fan. Ha ha!

Think Paul Kidd has a Hayes Cotton for sale.
