Memories from the time, 1975/76 I was working in Mansfield, It was a Wednesday and "Half day closing" for shops (Remember that ?), Phil Kingswood worked in Syd Booths Soul Centre in Mansfield at the time. I used to go there and look through the cheap section whilst it was quiet. He had access to all sorts of release sheets and distributors who stocked import LPs. He had found the Mystic Moods Album with Astral Trip on and ordered a couple of copies for the shop. When they arrived it had been recorded in "Quadrophonic Sound" ! Syd Booths also had an associated Hi-Fi Shop on Queens Street in Mansfield, we were heading for a drink at The Swan so called in at the shop, which was pushing the Quadrophonic Systems, put Astral Trip on, stood in the centre of 4 speakers and listened ! I remember the sound "Rushing " around the room sounding absolutely brilliant, I can certainly imagine it "Blowing the mind" of anyone on Acid at the time ! I still like the record, but as Barry says maybe it was because I was there at the time ? Rob PS a little later he also found Sammy Davis Jnrs Vocal to Hawaii 5 0 on an Album and ordered that in !

Spot on Rick ! I might add that small local labels would often leave a 25 count box at their local distributors on release, sale or return, so if shops asked for them (ie the record being heard on local radio) the distributor would have the stock. Most cases these records wouldn't sell, so after a set period of time, if the records hadn't been collected by the owner the distributors would have a clear out, using the drill hole as proof they hadn't been sold at full price. Melvin Davis tells the story of "Find a quiet place" on Wheel City, a 500 pressing run. He took the records around shops and distributors in Detroit but the record flopped locally, he says "It would have cost more in Gas than the records were worth to fetch them back !" Hindsight is a marvellous thing ! Rob

EBay High Flyers - Most Valued Soul Records - March 2017
Rob Wigley commented on Mike's article in News Archives
Checkerboard squares I quote "Record was TEST PLAYED and plays through fine with background noise except the final 10 to 15 seconds on the "Double Cookin'" side that sticks (repeats). Selling "as is" because it is very hard to find and would make a good "starter" copy for someone" Well if you bought this and want to ""up grade" please PM me mine plays right through without jumping or sticking !! -
Only George Smith not sold so reduced again PM to reserve please
