Pete S

Christ, you ask a simple question.

What are you talking about, are you embarrassed at your own price or something? I'll be putting a sales list out tomorrow, should you care to ask any questions about the items that I am selling I will be happy to answer them IN PUBLIC.

Yeah you do that then, I was asking a simple and innocent question, all you had to say was "6 months ago".

I'm astonished to see this sale, when did this go up? (in price I mean)

I don't think anyone would dispute that - it is brilliant and there's even a nice 'clapping' part on the intro

MY GRADINGS ARE MORE AKIN TO GRADING SOUL RECORDS THAN REGGAE, THIS MEANS THAT THEY WILL PROBABLY GRADED STRICTER THAN THE NORMAL REGGAE GRADING - FOR EXAMPLE, A 'NORMAL' VG+ REGGAE RECORD WOULD BE A VG BY SOUL STANDARDS. I'VE LOST COUNT OF THE AMOUNTS OF VG RECORDS I'VE RECEIVED WHICH I WOULDN'T HAVE GRADED MORE THAN G OR GOOD PLUS. IF UNSURE, I WILL ALWAYS BE HAPPY TO SEND YOU A CLIP OF ANY RECORD. I TAKE CREDIT & DEBIT CARDS AS I RUN A FULL TIME RECORD BUSINESS (PLANET RECORDS). I'LL ALSO TAKE BANK TRANSFERS, PAYPAL (4% EXTRA CHARGE FOR THIS, SORRY), CHEQUES AND CASH.

HOPE ALL THAT IS CLEAR, ANY QUESTIONS DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK. NC = NO CENTRE WOL = WRITING ON LABEL ONE MORE THING, I'M CONSTANTLY GETTING LET DOWN BY PEOPLE ASKING ME TO RESERVE RECORDS THEN NOT SENDING FOR THEM SO IF YOU EMAIL OR RING TO RESERVE SOMETHING CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU DEFINITELY WANT IT AND LET ME KNOW HOW YOU WISH TO PAY, AND I'LL HOLD RECORDS FOR 24 HOURS ONLY, AFTER THAT IF THEY ARE NOT PAID FOR THEY GO BACK ON SALE.

I did this yesterday - apparently the Big Shot 45 I listed yesterday is worth £80 more than I listed it for, couldn't go back once I'd agreed to sell it though.

If it says 17 Rennison Drive then it would have been mine. What are the chances of that???

Theres nothing wrong with the reproduction of Betty Boo on Grapevine Kev, nothing at all. Just played it.

None really worth anything but Stax Northern Disco sounds is notable for only having 2 northern tracks on it isn't it Ian p.s. I thought I was the only soulie left in Wombourne

FRANK WILSON - LOVE RETURNS / SAME - DAYSTAR 1001 DEMO. VERY RARE MODERN GOSPEL.

I didn't mean you couldn't, I just don't imagine you threatening anyone

That doesn't really have any bearing on my opinion of Gavin Ady.

Just seeing if anyones paying attention Andy

I nearly bought that on Ebay, you didn't outbid me did you

If it was the first play, it was the first play, regardless of what it was played off. Back in those days, one guy would have the original and the rest would have emidiscs cut until they found one. Pretty sure the first ever play was by Russ at Wigan, I may be wrong, but one thing I do know is that the record had a very very short lifespan before it was pressed as Eddie Foster and never became a massive sound - it was big alright, but not like it is now.

No I know Gavin Rick, but Gavin isn't Ian! Gavin's a really good bloke anyway, if you met him you'd agree I'm sure.

Does anyone have any UK label demos for sale? I need all the usual stuff but even more so, the cheaper things, 5 quid upwards sort of stuff, these aren't really to play they are more for a project I am starting work on so - and I know this sounds a bit strange - the labels are actually more important than the vinyl. I can't promise to buy everything obviously but if you do have anything, please do let me know. Just to give you an idea, some of the stuff (demos) I've bought so far: shangri las - right now and not later - red bird freddie scott - hey girl - colpix garnet mimms - thinkin - united artists inez & charlie foxx - no stranger to love - stateside kenny lynch - it's too late - hmv april stevens - wanting you - mgm see not necessarily big stuff but obviously I am interested in those too! nb it is the vinyl I need not just scans of the labels anyway thanks for reading cheers Pete

The very thought of Ian threatening anyone

QUICK SALE...pete.smith@freeuk.com or 01902 893569 cards welcome, bank transfer, paypal (4%), cheque post extra LAURIE DAVIS - DON'CHA SHOP AROUND - GUARANTEED Great female answer record to The Miracles - still in Guaranteed company sleeve EX 40 LOU JOHNSON - WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING / YOU BETTER LET HIM GO - BIG TOP DEMO Outstanding double sider. Visually VG/VG+, plays with minor crackle at the start of both sides but nothing to worry about VG+ 40 SOLD FLUFFY FALANA - MY LITTLE COTTAGE (BY THE SEA) - ALPHA Excellent Wigan cover up for Alan Rhodes and Richard Searling "Robert L Martin". Nice copy. Books at 200 EX 125 SOLD FRANKIE (LOVE MAN) CROCKER - TON OF DYNAMITE - TURBO Pink original. First few seconds a bit crackly due to never having been in a sleeve, after that, sounds as fantastic as it ever did. Bit of label wear around the centre hole. DJ's you'd be fine with this, I don't sell crap and if I do, I describe it as crap, this is a great play copy. VG/VG+ 90 ON HOLD SOUTHWIND SYMPHONY - I'M COMIN HOME IN THE MORNIN (INST) - GLO LITE Great instrumental version of Lou Pride's classic M- 20 FOUR SEASONS - BEGGIN' - UK PHILIPS F*cking awful original version of Timebox. Has a little kind of pin hole in the vinyl at the start which causes a 3 rotation click as the record starts. Apart from that it plays EX. VG++ 25 WILL TRADE ANYTHING FOR UK LABEL 60'S DEMOS

Russ was definitely the first I heard play it

This is a bizarre spot because Ral Donner was played in 78 not 77 everywhere else - Danny Monday and Billy Woods had both been bootlegged in 1976 - Herbert Hunter was bootlegged in early 77 - Burning Bush was a 78 spin - only Joey Heatherton was a 77 discovery and that was pressed in April 77

Tone sorry mate, already sold it, please use a 'te-le-phone' along with your gram-o-phone
