Thats Jamaica Ska by Byron Lee / The Ska Kings - but I'm away from the pc

Actually the hair may be slightly misleading...only slightly

Sold then!

Well whoever played Backstabbers and tried to pass it off as Northern wants shooting, sorry.

This is so you'll recognise me

I'll flog it to the first person who actually asks for it and as yet no one has!

Dunno til I see it ken, honestly. Won't be book price though!

Yeah still mint, in sleeve, was gonna stick 50 on it. Sorry about the snipe. Weird how that works, I've been outsniped on about 20 records this week but I won others which I thought I'd have no chance on (Cajun Hart, Sharpets etc)...the market is very strange at the moment

Received all these this week, anyone wants them before they go on the list next week, shout up THE COMPLIMENTS - BEWARE BEWARE - MIDAS JIMMY HELMS - YOU'RE MINE YOU - SYMBOL DEMO Lovely white demo MARVA JONES - I GOT YOUR NUMBER - SKI HI Seriously underrated Wigan oldie BETTY TURNER - BE CAREFUL GIRL - LIBERTY DEMO Very minor marks otherwise superb TONY MIDDLETON - MY LITTLE RED BOOK - KAPP DEMO Very tough US demo GAYLE HARRIS - AIN'T GONNA LET IT GET ME DOWN - DCP ISSUE If you like big beat ballads you'll love this SISTERS THREE - YOU CAN FORGET IT - EARLY BIRD DEMO Has a storage warp but plays and looks mint TONY HESTER - JUST CAN'T LEAVE YOU / WATCH YOURSELF - KARATE Slight dish due to storage but nothing to worry about and beautiful condition A.C. REED - MY BABY'S BEEN CHEATING - COOL Great copy EARTHA KITT - THERE COMES A TIME - MUSICOR DEMO Brilliant (uncredited) Solid Hitbound production PETE ANTELL - LAND OF LOVE - BOUNTY DEMO Great midtempo, going big BOB'S BAND - LOCKE (LOCKES THEME) - ATCO These are as rare as Hens teeth and what a great instrumental too

I've had this a couple of times but always for the other side, fantastic dancer

Should never be played at a northern venue in a million years - same as when that Angie Stone did Wish I Didn't Miss You, no-one would ever have ever played Back Stabbers as a northern record so why play an inferior version of the same track?

ANMHE is one of the greatest records ever made. But there are hundreds of better Northern records around, hundreds and hundreds. But to slag off ANMHE is sacrilige and anyone who does is obviously the victim of a cruel medical experiment

Class is permanent. I'll have pen and paper at the reasy next friday writing down whatever underplayed oldies and exclusives you'll be playing.

Theres a few that were done late - when I say late, I mean probably early 80's - on black Okeh with silver letters and also a few white demo Okehs, they look so obviously fake though, all on vinyl and all have the wrong typeface.

Whats being a record dealer got to do with what people play out? Elgins was played constantly throughout the 70's at normal discos, still is at wedding receptions, motown nights whatever, Ain't No Mountain High Enough has never had that kind of exposure, next you'll be recommending This Old Heart Of Mine and I Can't Help Myself, two of the greatest records ever made but hardly lessser played oldies...and I come back to the point that "Mountain" never charted here and has never had mass exposure - until now. So if it's to be dropped, at least replace it with something like Carolyn Crawford as this months Motown flavour of the month.

Pieces of eight actually

I'll swap you my Ain't No Mountain High Enough for The Groovettes

I ain't biting

I'd still be laughing now, it's f*cking sh*t

Isn't it Pete Lyster?

This never charted in the Uk so believe it or not, it's new to a lot of people, unlike the Elgins which was top 10 and a youth club disco classic for decades

Pah. It's certainly the best thing Tammi did and I can't think of anything better that Marvin did to be honest. 10/10.

I posted over 50 clips from that show a year or so back (including that one) and then they removed them all when Motown got me banned for posting up their 40 year documentary...

Kinnell I thought that Soul City was meant to be in demand, used to be loads asking for it a few weeks back, did a boxfull turn up or sommat?
