Remember at the Outrigger he had lots of DJ's, Harpo did one Dayer, Ted Massey quite a few, he would let you go through his 45's, and play them if you did a spot, Tony was never precious about them. thats where I first saw all his Cameo Parkway White Demos, obviously we all loved Evie Sands... Mal

Here's a nice Ross release from Down under.. I'll find Rescue me in a bit.. mal

Didn't Tony Reynolds get most of his British from BRMB pete, do remember him saying that, and you you mentioned it some years back. He had boxes of em. Mal

Wow! Love the Tutankhamun moment..... Are the hi res scans still up, pip it on my I-Tunes Im sitting in my favourite coffee shop,having just collected my Donald Jenkins, the scan to the left was the sellers, no where near as rare as this, but still a big moment in my record collecting life... rare releases of classic soul 45's don't ya love em! Mal

Blimey, what a abundant platter... so it was Kev's? he never replied. Mal

Hi all, got a really nice Aussie issue of this classic Motown track, scan below, Post 1st Class signed for (insured upto £50) within the UK. Barbara Randolph - I Got a Feeling * Aussie Tamla Motown (TMO-182) VG++ £20 Kind Regards, Malcolm

agree, Norma Jenkins has the edge, but both are brill... "I Never Dreamed" by The Cookies however, totally agree is simply awesome, I still dont have a copy, they come up but its a buggar to get a mint one..

when I visit lots of coffee shops in the Uk, I regularly hear Northern soul, Is getting spooky now as shops play it pretty much every time I'm in.. still I'm not complaining... its spotify isn't it, they all have a license I guess.. Starbucks coffee sucks though, it really is grit and water, dreadful stuff... Mal

I thought that, paid nearly double that for mine 6/7 years ago... Malcolm

Bought of him once or twice via Ebay totally unwittingly, haven't had any problems with those transactions as far as I can remember, I must be one of the lucky ones... Ahh, just tracked back over my feedback, he did leave me the following feedback, Ive put it in Brackets cause its very small...... ( . ) He seems to like his CAPS Button, makes me feel my single full stop Is a quite a nasty blank..or perhaps he did inplode before he could get off a line of upper case RANT! Lol.. Mal

just reading the Frank Foster track, and goggled it, came up with this, never seen it before.. they are playing Jazz, and Franks intro is superb... One, Two, Y'all Know what to do... Uhhh... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF9AmCK8W_E

Blimey, wish I was there, thats one play list... Mal

Is it an Issue or demo on the trends Ian? Mal

Isn't it the vocal flip? Inst one side vocal by Mel on the other! Still makes it a brill 5 quid track...I always wondered, the uk is littered with this 45, is it the same on the states or are they rarer over there... Malcolm

wow, looks right doesn't it.... I know this track is old hat, but I do Love this 45, reminds me of the Sinatras in Birmingham. Mal

is it a west coat release, the blue one? Malcolm

indeed, I'm the winner of that Auction.

At last, only ten years looking for a copy, Ive only ever seen one other, as a scan Dave Flynn's web site, owned by Frank in Melbourne who did a piece on Aussie Soul 45's... Recently John Manship was saying the Sandy Wynns 45 he had on his Auction was rare, I must have seen ten or so of that one over the last decade, Its not that rare... but this one IS seriously rare... would have been great if they had put out 'I've Settled Down' but alas they didn't.. Cant stop staring at it!!! Malcolm

Hi there, like this, but where exactly are you based, and who are you? surely you would accept friends and family (Gift) Pay Pal payments? Malcolm

Remember co presenters on east-side radio in Sydney doing evenings where both presenters would play the Soul and then the Jamaican version of Soul Hits, or Reggae hits for that matter. There were more USA tunes covered in Jamaica obviously, but they used to dig out some real jems... Good stuff Pete.. M

As Shocked as everybody, spoke with him last week about a record I'd been after and he had got a coupe copies of. Really awful news, my condolences to his immediate family, and all his friends... Malcolm

Remember Rob Pheasant from Willenhall in the Black Country did the same with loads of his, Ive tons of them still, he was good as well, very professionally done.. Malcolm

let me check the dead wax on my pressing, then you will know. I'l come back a bit later. mal

The colour is pretty close if I remember right, but you can see a sort of rounding pattern on the label, hard to describe, but the vinyl should give it away pretty quickly. Its a reasonably flimsy pressing the boot... Ive got the boot, and the only way I'd part with it is if I had the dosh and opportunity for an original, which never seems to come up... Malcolm
