They DID suggest work as an office junior, I said I'm 49 years old!

I go to the largest shopping centre in the Midlands and the HMV there doesn't stock Kent cd's neither does the branch of Head either. I have to promise Tony Rounce I'll service his missus in return for review copies.

I beg to differ the misery that modern and crossover bring is unimaginable

I've got one now, a surprise buy it now on ebay, 5 quid when it comes I'll let you know what shape it's in if you still need it

Thanks chaps.I'm not going anywhere. At least when I work from home I get as much time as I like to spend with my kids. Thats got to be worth more than poxy minimum wage.

I can honestlt say I never read anything into that comment and it certainly didn't seem to have been made as a snide sexual reference. It's only since you pointed it out.

and very funny

PETE SMITH 28 JENKS ROAD WOMBOURNE WOLVERHAMPTON WEST MIDLANDS WV5 0BL 01902 893569 07784 507360 Pete.smith@freeuk.com WELL FOLKS BUSINESS IS SO BAD THAT IT LOOKS LIKE AFTER 11 YEARS OF TRADING I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PACK IT IN. I'VE BEEN TO SIGN ON TODAY, THAT WAS AN EXPERIENCE, THEY SHOWED ME A JOB THEY WANTED ME TO APPLY FOR AND I TOLD THEM I WOULDN'T GET OUT OF BED FOR THAT MONEY SO IT LOOKS LIKE I WON'T BE GETTING ANY JOBSEEKERS ALLOWANCE LOL I'VE TAKEN F*CK ALL THIS WEEK, ABOUT 100 QUID LAST WEEK AND LESS THAN THAT WEEK BEFORE SO IT'S NOT REALLY A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS ANYMORE.

You ought to include the run off details on the Yum Yums because the vinyl demo and the vinyl demo counterfeit are extremely hard to tell apart with just a scan. Not saying you're trying to sell a counterfeit but it'd put peoples mind at ease I think.

Certainly a great dancer but not a very good record really. It's like the sort of tune you'd find on the B side of a classic, you know, good but nowhere near as good as the A side (Morris Chestnut for instance)

New one do you think? Medway records. Was based in Gillingham apparently.

I think I may have found a new addition - won't let me copy the picture for some reason https://cgi.ebay.com/TEEN-45-DANNY-WILSON-DARLING-OF-MY-HEART-MEDWAY-LISTEN_W0QQitemZ390078525730QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item5ad27df122&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Fantastic record Paul but it's from Chicago not Detroit

Do you mean PINK promo? £60 - £70 if you can get it. It is rare though.

All the people who are still owed money need to form a group, say a Yahoo group, only takes a few minutes, pool your resources and decide exactly what you're going to do. It looks like you've only got a couple of options though; write it off, or go to the small claims court. But if you make your own group, you'll be able to communicate with one another in private.

Write to? You could write IT! As could several people on Soul Source. There's some very knowlegable people on here who could easily come up with something more digestible. Soul Source - the magazine.

Yeah it does Paul, the worst part, when it starts to fade and they all play different tunes!

If you look in the "R & B" section on ebid there are hundreds of soul records, many superb British ones except a) they are all from the same seller, 15 pages worth and the prices are just ridiculous, book price or higher and thats just the start point so it defeats the object.

Congratulations from all of us here!
