PETE SMITH 4 BLAKELEY HEATH DRIVE WOMBOURNE WOLVERHAMPTON WV5 0HW Pete.smith@freeuk.com 01902 326306 or 07784 507360 MORE WOUNDED RECORDS FOR SALE If you remember, I did a list of wounded records back end of last year, some hissed, some had cracks or scratches, anyway that was an amazingly successful list for some reason, so now that I have accumulated a fair number of records which fit the above description, I decided it was time to try again. All are USA originals and all have been graded honestly and to the best of my ability. EDDIE ALSTON - GONNA GET ME A WATCHDOG - BARRY To all intents and purposes this looks like an EX copy but it is cracked around where the run off meets the label. You cant see it or feel it unless you slightly bend the record. 20.00 DON COVAY - SOMEBODYS GOT TO LOVE - ATLANTIC Vinyl is VG++ but has a water damaged label 5.00 THE CORVELLS - HES SO FINE - LU PINE DEMO Vinyl strong VG++ but has lots of label wear especially at top and to the left 10.00 THE CARTER BROTHERS - SHES SO FINE - JEWEL SOLD Looks like sh*t, plays fine with a bit of crackle in the background. Label has ringwear. 5.00 CANDY & THE KISSES - THE 81 - CAMEO Scruffy looking vinyl, sticker on the label over artists name 5.00 BETTY EVERETT - IVE GOT A CLAIM ON YOU - ONEDERFUL SOLD Looks VG+ and has a few marks but plays EX 20.00 THE ETHICS - THERELL STILL BE A SWEET TOMORROW - VENT DEMO Not much wrong with this - nice glossy copy with a couple of marks and one or two tiny background pops 25.00 THE EMPIRES - COME HOME GIRL - CHAVIS Looks VG+, plays with a little background hiss which can be eradicated by turning the treble down. Nice doo-wop type sound 15.00 THE 5TH DIMENSION - CALIFORNIA SOUL - SOUL CITY Nothing really wrong with this, has a bump on the run in which makes a noise on one rotation 5.00 LOWELL FULSOM - TRAMP - KENT Marker pen writing on the label, VG crackles mainly at the start 5.00 KELLY GARRETT - LOVES THE ONLY ANSWER - SMASH This one is even more upsetting than Ellie...looks solid mint, until you play it, and it hisses all the way through but only in one channel. If you switch to the other channel, it plays mint! I can only describe it as a non-too aggressive hiss as by the time she gets going you dont really notice because the music is so loud but yes, it has styrene hiss in one channel. 50.00 GLORIA GAYNOR - SHELL BE SORRY - JOCIDA This ones cracked right across and has been repaired on the B side. Plays with light tick throughout 5.00 DOLORES GIBSON - I GOT A FEELING - ELLOMA Very light background noise otherwise a pretty solid performer. Mild ringwear. 25.00 RONNIE GAYLORD & BURT HOLIDAY - LOVE WHERE HAVE YOU GONE - PALMER Hardly anything wrong with this one..couple of marks, bit of label wear, otherwise..fine! 15.00 FRED HUGHES - BABY BOY - BRUNSWICK Lots of ring wear on the label, vinyl VG to VG+ 5.00 HIGH VOLTAGE - COUNTRY ROAD - COLUMBIA DEMO Nice copy but has a little half inch crack on the edge, plays with barely a noise at all 15.00 IMPERIAL WONDERS YOU LIVE ONLY ONCE SOLID FOUNDATION Crackles all the way through 5.00 JOYCE JONES HELP ME MAKE UP MY MIND ATCO DEMO Crack right on the run in, otherwise fine 10.00 JIMMY JONES YESTERDAYS MISTAKES TWINIGHT Light background noise and marks on the vinyl, rare crossover 20.00 WALTER JACKSON DEEP IN THE HEART OF HARLEM OKEH Some marks and the odd pop VG+ 10.00 WALTER JACKSON SPECIAL LOVE OKEH Same as above 10.00 NORMA JENKINS ME, MYSELF AND I CARNIVAL Same as above, bit of ringwear and wol 15.00 BOBBY JONES TALKIN BOUT JONES EXPO Some very light marking but barely anything wrong with this 15.00 GLADYS KNIGHT & THE PIPS GIVING UP MAXX DEMO Some clicks and pops 5.00 AL KENT YOUVE GOT TO PAY THE PRICE RIC TIC Edge crack which hasnt gone through, if you know what I mean, plays perfect 5.00 KEITH AINT GONNA LIE MERCURY Cant actually see or hear anything wrong with this one! EX 5.00 HOAGY LANDS IM YOURS ABC DEMO Light crackle at times 15.00 THERESA LINDSAY GOTTA FIND A WAY CORREC-TONE Detroit address. VG+, not much wrong with this one. LITTLE RICHARD POOR DOG OKEH SOLD VG 5.00 MAJOR LANCE EVERYBODY LOVES A GOOD TIME OKEH VG+ 8.00 WILLIE WEST DONT YOU WANT A MAN LIKE ME RUSTONE SOLD Great R&B, looks a bit used, plays great, wol 20.00 MARVIN SMITH WHO WILL DO YOUR RUNNING NOW MAYFIELD Scruffy copy with edge crack, plays really well and crack barely sounds. Easily get away with DJing with this. 30.00 KELL OSBOURNE YOU CANT OUTSMART A WOMAN LOMA SOLD Has a warp which does not affect play, and the beginnings of a crack right on the edge (not gone through) but seriously this plays EX minus at very worst. What is it, 150 mint? 35.00 THE NATURALS DONT JUST STAND THERE PATH Cracked all the way across but not gone through ring wear but plays with barely a click. Another 100 quid plus one. 25.00 ROSCOE ROBINSON THATS ENOUGH GERRI This looks absolutelt fine but I p;layed it and it skipped a groove at the start, cant see a scratch so must be a pressing fault. Shame. 25.00 THE LOST GENERATION YOURE SO YOUNG BUT YOURE SO TRUE BRUNSWICK Lots of ringwear and small writing on label, vinyl is EX 10.00 VAN McCOY BABY DONT TEASE ME ROCKN Known or not? Listed in JM as the ballad side, this ones a good early dancer. Ring wear and VG, plays VG++ 10.00 JIMMY McCRACKLIN LET THE DOOR HIT YOU MINIT Background hiss throughout 5.00 THE MARVELLOS YOURE SUCH A SWEET THING LOMA Little chip on outer edge, not anywhere near playing surface, vinyl EX- plays great 15.00 BOBBY MOORE & THE RHYTHM ACES I WONT CRY CHECKER VG+ and wol 5.00 THE MYSTIC MOODS ASTRAL TRIP WARNER BROS Has a minute crack right on the run in, took me ages to find it, otherwise an EX condition issue stock copies of this are tough to find 25.00 THE MASQUERADERS I AINT GONNA STOP AGP VG plays with background crackle at times 5.00 THE NOTATIONS I CANT STOP TWINIGHT Big scratch on A side which is audible at times 5.00 THE NOTATIONS I CANT STOP TWINIGHT WHITE DEMO Couple of marks, no problems with this one really 10.00 THE OVATIONS THEY SAY GOLDWAX Again, no real problems with this EX- 10.00 THE PLAYERS WHY DID I LIE MINIT Very minor background noise, lovely track, mild ring wear 15.00 PATTY & THE EMBLEMS MIXED UP SHOOK UP GIRL HERALD VG++ plays fine 10.00 PATTY & THE EMBLEMS AND WE DANCED HERALD EX- nice copy 10.00 THE PLATTERS SWEET SWEET LOVIN MUSICOR SOLD EX- no problems 10.00 THE PRECISIONS NEVER LET HER GO / A PLACE DREW DEMO VG/VG+ 5.00 THE RADIANTS AINT NO BIG THING CHESS VG wol 5.00 JACKIE SHANE ANY OTHER WAY SUE VG/VG+ ring wear 8.00 BRUCE SCOTT SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR MGM Scruffy VG 5.00 BETTYE SWANN MY HEART IS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON CAPITOL Marks, vg+ 10.00 THE SOUL BROTHERS I GOT A DREAM BLUE CAT VG+ 5.00 PERCY SLEDGE ANY DAY NOW ATLANTIC VG++ 5.00 THE SHAKERS ONE WONDERFUL MOMENT ABC SOLD Edge crack, ring wear, good DJ copy though 5.00 IKE & TINA TURNER POOR FOOL SUE VG++ plays great 6.00 THE TABS TWO STUPID FEET WAND Little wrong with this, has an S written on label and a few marks but plays EX/EX minus 10.00 TOP SHELF NO SECOND THOUGHTS LOLO VG+ 5.00 THE TWILIGHTERS ROAD TO FORTUNE IMPERIAL DEMO VG 8.00 THE VAL-RAYS IT HURTS DOESNT IT GIRL UNITED ARTISTS DEMO Bit of noise right channel, wol 8.00 THE VIBRATIONS PICK ME OKEH Ring wear and vg+ 5.00 THE VARIATIONS YESTERDAY IS GONE BOB JOY Really nice uptempo crossover(?) dancer, looks used, plays great 25.00 WALLACE BROTHERS I NEED SOMEONE JEWEL Light background noise, f*cking big drill hole through the run off groove ELLA WASHINGTON STOP GIVING YOUR MAN AWAY SOUND STAGE 7 Surface noise 5.00 LEE WILLIAMS & THE CYMBALS GET IT TOGETHER BLACK CIRCLE VG++ 5.00 LARRY WILLIAMS BOSS LOVIN OKEH VG+++ 15 THE WHISPERS I CANT SEE MYSELF LEAVING YOU SOUL CLOCK VG+ WOL 8.00 LITTLE JERRY WILLIAMSM BABY YOURE MY EVERYTHING CALLA VG++ 6.00 JEAN WELLS WITH MY LOVE AND WHAT YOUVE GOT CALLA VG++ wol 10.00 BOBBY WADE FOUR WALLS AND ONE WINDOW WAY OUT VG++ wol 10.00 POSTAGE 2.00 RECORDED.

It is mate, came out on 2 labels in Jamaica in 65, don't think it got a UK release - though it looks like they re-recorded it in 1980 for EMI!

No I don't think I'd enjoy the Mod forums, from what I've been told. Seriously.

I always went there but haven't been for many years unfortunately. Simon has something to do with this shop I think.

Will do, thanks!

They were the Jamaican version of Sam & Dave. They recorded an equal amount of both ska and soul I think.

The weird thing is though - I haven't done a punk podcast!

Wasn't sure where to put this. Does anyone know where you can get decent retro clothing from. Kind of skinhead/suedehead style 1970-71. I've seen a few sites on the net and they just seem to sell new Harringtons and Fred perrys. I'm after a decent 'mod' style jacket to wear with a polo shirt and jeans maybe. Or do they still make sta-prest, cream or olive. Proper vintage shirts. If anyone knows where I can get this stuff or have cast offs they want to sell (or donate!) could they drop me a line. Am asking here because I like these sort of clothes, always have, and don't know any shops to buy them from. Kind of like what Terry hall is wearing in this picture of the Specials. n.b. I know I couild probably get all this stuff off the peg in Brighton.

He was, but it wasn't him. Kicking myself for losing the tape now, someone on here must have it. It was about 50 minutes long I think, they were interviewing at the Casino. I think they may have played Biddu's "Exodus" as an example of how new releases were being played on the scene.

Could have been Andy Peebles - but not sure if he was working for the BBC then.

PLEASE HAVE A LOOK, YOU MIGHT GET YOURSELF A BARGAIN. MORE GOING ON TONIGHT. CHEERS PETE

Exactly. So why do I get stick off the likes of Jock and Russ for expressing what my personal taste is - I can't help it if they can't get their heads around the fact that not everyone likes the same music as they do. I like punk, Jock eveidently hates it, I don't call him a goon for not being able to see the brilliance in aspects of punk.

Did you wander onto this site by mistake or something?

Change the record Russ, or just post up your previous posts on the subject seeing they're identical to this one.

A fantastic tape from Wigan Casino's second anniversary recorded by my good friend John Hillman. This features a relatively rare recording of Alan Rhodes during his first tenure as a Casino DJ, followed by an incredible spot by John Vincent who certainly gets the place going with his 100mph verballing...just listen to his introduction of "The Champion", one of my all time favourite Wigan moments. Plus you also get the community clapping during the silent break in The Jewels "We Got Togetherness", and one of the Wolverhampton lads describing Jon Ford's version "You Got Me Where You Want Me" as a 'wank version'. Quality is lo-fi from a portable cassette recorder, that won't stop you enjoying this cracking slice of Northern Soul history though (previously posted a couple of years back when I used Podbean). Tracks include Liberty, Frankie Crocker, Skullsnaps, Anderson Brothers, Tamiko Jones, Evelyn Thomas.. https://podcastmachine.com/podcasts/4425/episodes/28847

Can't answer your question off the top of my head I'm afraid but I do remember thinking at the time, why are they pressing this when it's so common you could get it anywhere for a fiver. 'Why are they playing this' was another question. Sorry, I mean why is Russ playing this.

SOUL & REGGAE OLDIES MIX * * * * * Well after the recent History series, that took a lot of work to put together so for the first few of this months podcasts I thought I'd take it easy and let the iPod choose the music, or to put things simply, I just collected all the 4 and 5 star tunes off my iPod, categorised them and will make a couple of shows from these over the next few days. The first one is Northern Soul and Reggae, mainly the former. The next one will be pop/rock/new wave whatever. This one came out well though, a nice 75 minutes worth of listening. * * * * * https://podcastmachine.com/podcasts/4425/episodes/28842 The Persianettes - Run Run (Unissued Swan) / The Techniques - Drink Wine (Treasure Isle) / Marie Knight - That's No Way To Treat A Girl (Musicor) / U Roy - Festival Wise (Dynamic) / Lou Pride - I'm Comun' Home In The Mornun' (Suemi) / Paul Anka - I Can't Help Loving You (Rca) / The Gayletts - If You Can't Be Good Be Careful (Big Shot) / Jimmy Holiday & Clydie King - Ready Willing And Able (Liberty) / The M.V.P.'S - Turnin' My Heartbeat Up (Buddah) / Eric Donaldson - Love Of The Common People (Striker Lee) / The Vondells - Hey Girl You Changed (Airtown) / Herbert Hunter - I Was Born To Love You (Spar) / The O'kaysions - Girl Watcher (North State) / Baba Brooks - Guns Fever (Island) / Bobby Freeman - I'll Never Fall In Love Again (Autumn) / Gene Chandler - Nothing Can Stop Me (Stateside) / The Sensations - I'll Never Fall In Love (Treasure Isle) / Roddie Joy - Come Back Baby (Red Bird) / Porgy & The Monarchs - That Girl (Musicor) / The Clarendonians - Lonely Heartaches (Bullet) / Joey Heatherton - Hullabaloo (Coral) / Mary Love - You Turned My Bitter Into Sweet (King) / Baba Brooks - Girls Town Ska (Ska Beat) / Gene Chandler - Mr. Big Shot (Constellation) / Ken Boothe - Without Love (Studio One) / Ketty Lester - Please Don't Cry Anymore (Rca) / Soul Brothers Six - I'll Be Loving You (Atlantic) / Jay & The Americans - Livin'above Your Head (United Artists) / Inez & Charlie Foxx - No Stranger To Love (Stateside) / The Manhattans - I'm The One That Love Forgot (Carnival) .

I doubt many people outside Cleethorpes and Blackpool knew the Lynn Varnado record, I remember it being booted and had no idea what it was, which is maybe why I didn't get it and still don't. The big word here is SOULFUL but that is not the be all and end all when it comes to records, I like music to be exciting and rewarding, and I personally get nothing whatsoever from these crossover records. It's like, yes, great singer, but what a boring record. I love soulful midtempo NORTHERN records, big city beat ballads. Not crossover.

They still sound as bad to me now as they did then. It's just boring elevator music. If people love it, that's fine, I just don't like seeing it passed off as Northern Soul. I remember when Goldmine issued their first Crossover Soul cd, the catchily entitled "Crossover Soul" and I bought it and listened to it and I remember thinking to myself, it comes to something when that f*cking awful Lynn Varnardo track is the best one on the cd. The rest, I forgot immediately and still can't remember any apart from Ruby Andrews.

Just because it's soulful doesn't mean it's any good though or you'd want to hear them though - most soul records are soulful!

A lot of people OD'd on them. I'm ashamed to say that I did, though that was away from the Allnighter scene.

No before their time Malc. I remember Love Trap being played. Interviews with Ginger & Eddie! And Tony Cummings I think.

But the Clyde McPhatter was played as far back as 75 and never thought of as anything else but pure Northern Soul.
