That's ok

Erm...just the pointy bit that plays the records!

SOME SCANS AT END OF LIST PETE SMITH 01902 326306 pete.smith@freeuk.com HI, HERE’S ANOTHER LIST OF NICE ORIGINALS, AS ALWAYS THESE HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, FOR THOSE WHO STILL CAN’T GET A HANDLE ON THIS — IF I SAY THAT THE RECORD LOOKS VERY GOOD BUT ACTUALLY PLAYS MINT — THEN IT DOES! IT WILL BE PRICED ACCORDINGLY — NOT AS A MINT RECORD BUT AS SOMEWHERE INBETWEEN VG AND MINT. A RECORD CAN LOOK LIKE IT CAME OUT OF A SKIP AND STILL PLAY SUPERBLY. I SHOULD KNOW, MOST OF MY COLLECTION LOOKS LIKE THAT… BETTY LAVETTE — I FEEL GOOD ALL OVER / ONLY YOUR LOVE CAN SAVE ME EX 50 SOLD Small writing on one side THE BROADWAYS — YOU JUST DON’T KNOW — MGM DEMO VG++/EX 50 SOLD Has a few marks and crackles before record starts — plays EX soon as it starts up. Flip side is VG+ with a sticker on label BESSIE WATSON — I’M NEVER ALONE (I’M RICH) — JAY PEE EX 60 Very early 60’s dancer — Bessie Watson is Tobi Legend apparently THE BLOSSOMS — THAT’S WHEN THE TEARS START — REPRISE DEMO EX 60 SOLD A few very light paper scuffs CANDY & THE KISSES — OUT ON THE STREETS AGAIN — SCEPTER DEMO EX 80 Again light paper sleeve scuffs otherwise perfect CHARLES MINTZ — SINCE I FOUND YOU GIRL — UP LOOK M- 50 Not the repress, this is original (glasses logo) DEBBIE DOVALE — HEY LOVER — ROULETTE EX 25 Teen girl dancer EDDIE HOLMAN — STAY MINE FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE — PARKWAY DEMO EX 30 Nice West Coast demo. One mark, not affecting play THE EXCEPTIONALS — UNLUCKY GIRL — GRT EX 50 Looks mint but has a couple of very minor background pops — rare issue copy. B side also has pops on intro, again can’t see what is causing them as it appears mint. THE ESCORTS — THE HURT — RCA EX 40 Nice version, one small mark not affecting play, small sticker on label EDIE WALKER — GOOD GUYS — RISING SONS DEMO VG+ 25 SOLD Scuff at the start sound for a few rotations. Rare ‘real’ demo. FRED PARRIS & THE RESTLESS HEARTS — LAND OF BROKEN HEARTS — ATCO EX 20 Nice oldie HERB FAME — YOU’RE MESSIN’ UP MY MIND — DATE DEMO VG+ 20 SOLD Frantic dancer! H.B. BARNUM — IT HURTS TOO MUCH TO CRY — RCA EX 100 SOLD One mark and some tiny paper scuffs — plays mint JIMMY JONES — WALKIN’ — ROULETTE EX 40 Old 100 Club play LITTLE ANTHONY & THE IMPERIALS — GONNA FIX YOU GOOD — VEEP VG+ 25 SOLD Intro is VG+ and the rest plays perfectly LITTLE JOE COOK — DON’T YOU HAVE FEELINGS — TWO JAY EX- 25 Great forgotten oldie, purple issue MELBA MOORE — DON’T CRY SING ALONG WITH THE MUSIC — MUSICOR EX- 50 Rare stock copy of MU 1189. Light paper scuffs, really light — a little ringwear to raised part of label — plays superbly THE MODERN REDCAPS — NEVER TOO YOUNG (TO FALL IN LOVE) — SWAN DEMO EX 50 Rare original. Promotion Copy lettering has been blanked out. PATTY LIVINGSTON — I’VE GOT MY BABY — DIMENSION DEMO EX 30 Fantastic girl group sound PRISCILLA THOMAS — STEP ASIDE — WINNER 7-11 DEMO EX 15 Chicago dancer RAY LEWIS — SORRY YOU’VE GOT THE WRONG NUMBER — SMASH EX- 25 Uptempo dancer, writing on label (in red) looks like filling in label wear, it’s ok! RAY POLLARD — THE DRIFTER — UNITED ARTISTS SOLD EX 250 OK please read carefully. Visually: light ringwear to raised part of label. Two marks, lots of small paper scuffs and a dimple in the vinyl. Right, play grade — well I can’t hear a single fault, maybe a very light background pop on the first verse but it’s a very confident EX grade and others would grade higher. And of course, so hard to find now. SONNY TIL — TEARS AND MISERY — RCA EX 60 Tiny little label wear. Really tiny. SHEILA FERGUSON — HEARTBROKEN MEMORIES — SWAN VG++ 130 Visually you’d have to say VG to VG+, plays like a dream, play grade between EX and Mint apart from before it begins. Super rare stock copy. Drill hole in label. THE SOUL CITY — EVERYBODY DANCE NOW — GOODTIME EX 30 SOLD Stamped original TAMI LYNN — I’M GONNA RUN AWAY FROM YOU — ATCO DEMO EX- 25 Rare original demo, plays EX, little ring wear VICTOR KNIGHT — CHINATOWN — RON CRIS VG++ 150 SOLD Lots of boots of this around, beware! Looks used, little ringwear and name written in marker over logo, but again, plays like a near mint one. B side label has more writing. THE VAN DYKES — SAVE MY LOVE FOR A RAINY DAY — MALA DEMO SOLD EX+ 150 Vinyl is beautiful, label has a small thin tear from the S in Records on the logo to the M at the start of the record number Mala 584. About one inch. (and a little wear around one edge) I’LL GET SOME PHOTOS UP ON SOUL SOURCE OR FACEBOOK UK POSTAGE IS £2.50 FOR THE FIRST THREE ITEMS THEN 30p EACH EXTRA AFTER SPECIAL DELIVER £7.10 OVERSEAS, WILL QUOTE PAYPAL TO pete.smith@freeuk.com CHEERS

I need to replace the cartridge below, now bear in mind I know nothing about these whatsoever, I don't care if it's a Stanton or some cheap copy as long as it plays records, can anyone point me in the right direction please? (n.b. it's just the stylus is a little worn)

Fred Perry, Ben Sherman, Harringtons - these are smart clothes, timeless, that can be worn with anything really. They have been around for 50 years or more. As Chalky says, the baggy trouser era lasted from 1972 to 1979, then vanished. I'm also at a loss as to why they have to keep focusing on a relatively short period.

How many people a) kept the clothes they wore in the 70's and b) can still fit into them? I might get one leg into my old trousers..

100% definitely a boot

I'm with you on that Ted

I don't remember this being booted twice, have a real good check of the darker red one's run off

There's one born every minute

Joey - you can listen to more or less every Northern Soul classic as well as hundreds of rare tracks here - my podcast site - and it's all absolutely free - also lots of allnighter tapes, Wigan casino mainly, so you can hear what they sound like with an atmosphere https://www.mixcloud.com/mayfairmenthol/

The Milsap / Robinson turns up quite a bit but hardly ever in it's sleeve for some reason, but it's just a standard EP really.

I think Dave lives in Baltimore, or did anyway

Dave Withers I think

I prefer Pharrell

Nope, you're right...

I've not seen that before, I always see ones with hand drawn red A's on them

It's a slip of the hand I think.

Bound to be the same song Alan, loads of A&S publishers demos around in 1966. It is Radio Caroline connected. https://www.offshoreradio.co.uk/keith2.htm

Christian tell him to try again, I was putting the kids to bed!
