I met him for the first time at Cleethorpes two years ago, it was really nice to meet him at long last..for years I thought he was a painter & decorator, every time I called he was up a ladder, painting... still got the first list I ever had off him upstairs, think he advertised in Record Collector... Malcolm

Don't want to hijack Ian's sales thread, but the Curtis Lee 45 he has is one Ive never seen, I never knew it existed... Whats interesting is there is an extra 10 seconds on the Coda Release, both registered with (BMI) CPI Music and Seahorse music respectively... Mal

U sure those falls aren't in Ireland?

wow, never even knew this label release existed... before Mirwood / Mira right?

We've been to the Zoo...

doesn't Dave Flynn have a bell sound acetate of this track for sale at the mo?

Got the right hand one Barry, dunno but left has the full label addy, and the other nothing, but bar that and the logo those labels are the same, I wouldn't think they were not legit. Pressing plant label variation I reckon... Malcolm

I got my copy of 'Born Again' by jj Barnes out again last week, might be early seventies, sorry about that....But what an Lp it is.... Failing that Bobby Bland - piece of gold on Uk Action, cause I got mine from my mates mum for a fiver while I was at school, and that Lp opened so many doors for me...Strong Stuff!!! Mal

still a pulsating how ever many times I hear it, its still up there with a small number of 45's like George Blackwell on Smoke, never dims as a track or collectable 45.. it came on the other night in my car, followed by Renegade Soundwave - The Phantom, a comparison that may be lost on most of you, but I thought these two tracks are quite the same within their respected genres, both drop what your doing, no messin, kick ass! straight to the floor! tracks... and before I get any stick, this threads musing right? I rate both of these tracks personally, right at the top! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mtAhannzXM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwsZDC9iMiA Malcolm

did you sell this lot in the end mate? just wondered. m

Where was Saints & Sinners held at in Brum Ady? Its funny I remember speaking to Kev Roberts in the early 9ts, I photographed him at his then Radio Show, and he asked where I came from, I said Birmingham, and he said it never really happened in Birmingham did it... I know the Birmingham Lacarno was popular and in the eighties The Outrigger, which is where I started off is well known, but back in the late 6ts, early 7ts Ive never head of anywhere, certainly not Saints and Sinners... Mal

Hey Russ, heard of this series, but whats on them? Mal

Love the Astors and Barbara Acklin Aussie 45's, dont have those ones.. But have allot of their other releases, I fish em out..

Kev, thats folk from the south not understanding that there is a place called the Midlands in the Uk... in my book the North doesn't start till you pass Nottingham, and well on route to Sheffield or Manchester...

Kent Anni single was is the first release. Mal

absolutely no contest... someone once told me there were a million pressed of Spyder Turner... One of those things you hear at all-dayers propping up the bar, I dont for a moment believe MGM actually pressed 1 Million of this track... or did they?

Anybody got a nice copy of 'Leno Phillips - Confusion / Dash' Happy to pay £80 for a nice copy, issue or demo.. doesn't matter which.. Kind regards, Malcolm

I think we should be boyed by the fact that there are still folk that buy and sell at realistic prices, if we keep making our voices heard on this matter John Mamships auction will remain a playground for people with more cash than sense, they are welcome to it, I've got along quite nicely for over 25 years of collecting pretty much without paying his extortionate prices, and let's not forget certain folk on this site that sell daily on here, don't contribute to the debate what so ever, and still list the same records well over a year since they first went up... Malcolm

got a mint Vinyl White Demo on San fransisco, double as I now have it on Aussie Green Atlantic, its there if you want to make an offer mate? Malcolm

funny one, its been listed everywhere at £100 for years, but you can pick it up cheaper recently, regrettably I think £40-£60 is about right for the amount of copies in circulation... personally I'd never sell it, his tracks on IPG, one of which is dog rare on JW, are all brilliant... 'I Work So Hard' is that the flip of Tears of a Lover, or a separate 45 on Solid? anybody got a JW copy of Forgive Then Forget / My Lonley Girl? Ted Massey tape sound for me from the Old Vic... Mal

well cool, like that one...

you need to reduce the size of those mate, they are well over 4000px in size...
