Pete S

There was one on ebay the other day Gene, didn't watch it til the end though sorry. Shit record.

Malc, don't be too upset. Roscoe Shelton is only worth about £20 and the Rita Dacosta white demo is worth £250 maximum, what the hell is he on about asking £750...the orange demos are rarer

What utter bollocks. Clean your ears out deafy.

I like both of those tracks, excellent stuff

It's actually Jimmy Radcliffe

That Teardrops - Here Comes Loneliness was absolutely tremendous...and the "Fabulous Impacts"...San Franciscan TKO's...

I've put the promo video up in the Media section. How anyone can say this hasn't got soul is a mystery to me. What a voice.

Honestly...heard this on the radio and thought it was Etta James. What a voice. I know Jo did a topic on her last week but I hadn't heard the track til today so here it is.

I'm trying to find a value for this record and also wondering if it's been played / getting played, I can't believe something this good isn't known but it isn't in any of the price guides. Thanks for any info. p.s. I can't see the button showing me how to add an audio clip!

If ever there was a way to put me off buying a record it's this: Customs Declaration will show item as merchandise and state value as the actual sales price. Please consider this when bidding. What skin of their nose is it to value it at $5 and mark it as a gift?

This gets more and more bizarre - last week I was aksed to supply Etta James with some footage - now have a look at this email I got today. Gobsmacked! Hi Pete; I used to manage Stevie Wonder back in the days when Motown was still in Detroit. I still do some personal business for Steve. This is a great video from the Robin Seymour show, a local show for us in Detroit, but was from Windsor, ON, across the bridge from Detroit. Steve doesn't have any footage of his Little Stevie Wonder days, and I know he'd get a great kick out of showing this video to his kids. Is it possible for you to send me the video so I can make a DVD for Steve? I'm seeing him this week. He and I are writing a new musical, and we're working on music this Wednesday and Thursday. I'd really appreciate it if you could send the video, and I know Steve would thank you as well. Where are you in the UK? I lived in London for three years. Cheers! don powell hunter los angeles 818-601-59**

Some good stuff, most no reserve.. includes Metros issue, Howard Guyton issue, HB Barnum, Orlons, etc, plus some nice reggae and ska (Doctor Bird, Coxsone, Pama, Rio, Studio One etc) https://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfrppZ100QQfs...Zmayfairmenthol

I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night

I knew it from Wigan. Was 'pressed' around Xmas 76, turned out to be originals. All credited to Mean Green by the way.

I don't think he was that well regarded - I've got a Wigan tape somewhere and you can clearly hear someone say "f&cking Frank Elson's here again" someone I knew spotted him a couple of years back at a Land Rover rally

Nah, both sides are on US Bell - vocal and instrumental

It's a late 60's, chugging instrumental, nothing special but must have been very popular back then as it sold quite a few on it's UK Pama release. Price is about right. Sorry, can't do mp3 at the moment.

Replied Mike but need details yet again, sorry!

Sold Persionettes, Frankie Crocker, Sonji Clay, Servicemen, Hank Jacobs, Roosevelt Grier. Weird, four of those were only VG/VG+!
