"I Know You're Leaving Me" - Si Hightower Has it all, rarity megga following, and SOUL R & K

I also saw it advetised in the back of a magazine he lent me on a previous batch of stuff-now there were a lot of soulies in the Bournmouth area at that time-but its not a massive place-so anyone know who was behind it ?? Not sure if there was a joining fee or what just might have been a scam ? Rob

No, I've got it , then karens lending it, then our lad and his 32 mates-that takes up 3 years !!

We were recently lent a pile of paper memorabilia by our good mate Nick Sunday Times mags, Selecta disc lists, Ticket stubs Soul Bowl stuff etc In amongst the papers was this Sometime around 1974/75 someone in Bournmouth started a "Record lending service " for all the top sounds of the day. interesting "Rules" No names on the sheet, but basically borrow the top sounds of the day for a month, return them, enclose 25p and they send you another top sound Now am I cynical or how many do you think they got back ? Anyone use this service ? or know anything about it Rob & Karen

Kin' ell AAARRRRKKKWRRIGHTTT you've got too much time on your hands Excellent-whens the film coming out ?? R & K

I'll get a RED MARKER PEN and put a BIG "A" on it !!!

Danke mein Freund

I've got a F**king demo and didn't even know !!! ta Pete

I would imagine you would get serious Wonga for a Tmi Yuro UK Liberty Demo of "It'll never be over for me" I recently turned down £800 for my issue copy--only because I don't want to sell-no idea of a true value but you don't see it for sale very often ! Rob

My Spanish is as good as my German Benji (even after 4 years of DJing there !)--is the track list the same ?? Rob

DONE !!!

I think it was German with the pic sleeve--not 100% sure though- I think Simon Twiddy had it from Boston-may have sold it to Andy Rix ? Rob

Any advance on 3 any advance on 3 going once, going twice.....

Godfrey Nice picture of you and Lady Burton leaving the pier all-nighter! 6 million squid and all they can think of is putting "Swing" bands on !!--don't they know the war is over in Cleggy Will be back to you soon regards an article Malc Rob

Still available Martin-remember "The national debt" -so many records-so little time! The Charles Drain is a "Sleeper"-a years time and it will be 4 times that price once played out ! Rob

-Pete There are 2 people like this not 15 miles from here. They won't sell anything=just keep hoarding stuff away Both collect UK, nothing to do with "The scene" though both aware of "Northern Soul". Really just "Train Spotters" -number takers (One has never married, lives with his Mother and is an accountant) The other been divorced years (25+) and I think this sort of collecting becomes obsessive! Between them the value of the records must be £1,000,000- Neither will sell anything-one has 2 Darell Banks DJs on London Nice to see them all together and look through though ! Rob -by the way if your mate would like a ride on the train...in exchange for a few spares...............
